Keep Moving

-

Can a man ever move forward and not face resistance? Can you walk through life’s rough roads without feeling weary? Can you keep chasing destiny while the storms rage and not be tempted to pause? Let me tell you the truth young man. You will want to stop. Even the focused can lose direction. Even the faithful can faint. Scripture makes it plain that the race is long, and sometimes, the runner grows tired. It is part of the process. It is normal.

There will be times when the path seems unclear. The dreams that once burned bright may begin to fade. You may look around and wonder if all your efforts matter. You may question if heaven still remembers your name. You may cry in silence, not because you do not believe, but because your strength feels spent. These things are not strange. They are signs that your soul is walking through the deep lanes of process.

Daniel knew this feeling. Joseph understood it too. Daniel stood in Babylon, far from home, surrounded by pressure, temptation, and compromise. Yet he chose not to bow. He kept moving in righteousness, though it was lonely. He refused to defile himself, even when obedience made him unpopular. And God kept him, not from the lions’ den, but through it. Because those who keep moving with God never end where trouble begins.

Joseph’s road was no different. His journey from the pit to the palace was not a straight line. He was betrayed, sold, forgotten, and imprisoned. There were nights he felt abandoned. Days when promises looked distant. But he did not stop. Even in prison, he worked. Even in pain, he served. Even in delay, he believed. And the same God who watched him in the pit led him to the throne.

So yes, young man, you will face seasons where the weight feels heavy. You will face days where hope feels small. But hear this, it only becomes abnormal when you give up. When you stop moving. When you lose sight of the One who strengthens your steps.

Those who wait on God shall renew their strength. True progress does not come from speed, nor from men’s applause, nor from easy roads. It comes from trust, quiet, steady trust. If you wait on man, you will stumble. If you depend on your emotions, you will lose direction. But if you keep moving with God, even slowly, you will find that every step counts. You will rise again. You will see again. You will reach again.

You will know you have stopped moving when prayer becomes a burden, when service feels empty, when you begin to envy others instead of learning from them. Those are signs that your feet need renewal. That your heart needs new oil. It is in those moments that you must return to the secret place. It is in those moments that you must meet God again to receive strength for the next phase of your journey.

Do not stop. Even when the process hurts, keep moving. Even when nothing seems to change, keep moving. Even when your name is forgotten, keep moving. For God is not absent in your silence; He is shaping your story in secret.

Daniel moved and became distinguished among princes. Joseph moved and reigned in Egypt. And you, if you will keep moving, will one day look back and see that every slow step was leading you toward destiny.

Let Him renew your spirit. Let Him refresh your courage. Let Him strengthen your hands. Because no matter where you are, God is not finished with you yet.


Keep moving, not in haste, but in hope. Keep moving, not in fear, but in faith.

Keep moving, not by sight, but by trust.

And when the season changes, you will stand tall and say, I kept moving, and the Lord moved with me.

Becoming the Man God Sees

The plan of God for your life will surely come to pass. That much is certain, not because of your strength but because of His faithfulness. Yet, the fulfilment of destiny is never automatic. It demands your partnership, making the right decisions as He guides, cultivating the grace and gifts He has deposited in you, and growing intentionally through the relationships He orchestrates. Often, God takes His chosen ones through seasons of obscurity, not to punish them but to prepare them. In those desert seasons, He places certain men around them, strategic voices, mentors, and friends whose roles are to shape, refine, and even provoke growth. These are not random encounters. They are divine alignments meant to build you for the weight of the future you have been called to carry. David’s life is a compelling example. Though anointed by the prophet Samuel to be king, he did not ascend the throne the next day. Instead, he returned to the field, tending sheep, confronting lions and bears, and...

Grow in Stature

-
Listen young man, growth is not optional. It is a necessity. God wants you to be mature, not just in age but in wisdom, stature, and the ability to carry the weight of His kingdom. Many young people desire power, influence, and divine blessings, but without growth, they will not be able to handle them. Just like a child cannot be put in charge of a great estate, you cannot step into the deeper things of the kingdom if you remain a spiritual baby. A child may be an heir to a massive fortune, but as long as he is immature, that wealth is kept from him. He must go through training, discipline, and responsibility before he can access it. It is the same with God's riches. His wisdom, power, and supernatural provision are not just given to anyone. They are entrusted to those who have grown enough to carry them. God did not design you to remain stagnant. He expects you to grow into His divine plan for your life. The world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God, but if you ref...

Location and Value: The Unseen Connection

-
There is a quiet but powerful truth in life: the location of a thing often determines its value. A priceless diamond buried in a desert where no one can find it remains unappreciated, though its worth remains unchanged. In the same way, many people carry gifts, talents, and destinies waiting to bloom, but their potential is hindered by being in the wrong environment. Dear young man, life is not just about what you carry within but also about where you are planted. Your relevance, usefulness, and influence are often a product of your position. A plant, no matter how good, becomes a weed when it grows in an unwanted place. Do not reduce yourself to a weed by forcing growth in environments that do not value or recognize you. Let the Holy Spirit guide you. Lean not on your understanding, but on divine wisdom that sees beyond your current sight. Consider Joseph, a young dreamer sold into slavery by his own brothers. At first, it seemed like he was displaced, but every movement in his life w...
