I Made It: KobbyBless shares his untold story
He writes
I’ll start from the beginning when I first felt the calling to start my ministry. I remember the excitement and passion that filled my heart as I envisioned reaching people with the Gospel through music. But as time went by, I faced many challenges that made me question if I had made the right choice.
People around me were sceptical of my dreams, and many thought it was just a passing phase. I even faced discouragement from close friends and loved ones who didn’t see the potential in me. There were times when I felt like giving up, but something inside me kept pushing me to soldier on.
One of the toughest challenges I faced was financial. There were days when I had to choose between buying food and investing in my ministry. But I never lost faith in God. I knew that He had called me to this path, and I trusted that He would provide for me.
As I continued to put in the work, I started to gain recognition as an up-and-coming gospel artiste who wrote powerful songs and preached the Word through my music. People started to take notice of my talent, and I felt a sense of validation that I was on the right path.
But even with this success, I still faced obstacles. I put my trust in someone who let me down, and it was a painful experience. However, I learned a valuable lesson: that we should never put our trust in people, but in God alone. He is the only one who will never forsake us.
Through it all, I kept my faith in God and continued to work hard, knowing that He was with me every step of the way. And now, I can say with confidence that I MADE IT by the grace of God. My song, “I Made It,” tells my story and encourages others to keep their faith and trust in God, no matter what they’re going through.
If you’re facing a tough season, know that it won’t last forever. Keep putting in the effort, and let prayer be your fuel on the journey. With God by your side, you can make it through anything.
