LET'S TALK ABOUT FINDING YOUR GOD GIVEN PURPOSE IN THE MIDST OF CONFUSION AND LIMITATIONS.....
The man in this picture is Blessing Offor, for those who have never heard of him before. He's a gospel musician but he was born blind in one eye and partially blind in the other. He and his uncle migrated to Connecticut, United States when Offor was six years old to treat the glaucoma and preserve his remaining eyesight. When he was 10, he went completely blind due to an accident.
But going blind did not stop him from achieving his dreams. Blessing Offor began to learn the keyboard and compose his own songs. He took inspiration from the likes of Stevie Wonders and other blind musicians. He competed at the popular music competition -the voice, but he was eliminated at the third round. Blessing Offor did not give up, he kept going and singing in different platforms. He collaborated with the popular gospel musician Tobymac and release the christian song titled "The Goodness", and he released a solo single "My Tribe", which peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Christian AirPlay for seven weeks. "My Tribe" pays tribute to his sister, Mercy, who died December 29, 2022, and to his home country, Nigeria. Later that year, his song "Believe" reached number 23, on Christian Top 40, and in November 2023 was nominated for the Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. Offor also received a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album with his album, My Tribe.
Blessing Offor in an interview told the interviewer he was concerned that his parents would think of him as a failure for losing his vision, so instead of succumbing to darkness, he began to lean increasingly on other skills and discovered his ability to connect with others through music.
