"Many are called, but few are chosen." We’ve heard it so many times, the weight of the words sometimes fades. But what if you’re not just called—but dangerous to the status quo because of it? Dr. Onkeme Letshwiti’s life is a testimony that you don’t need a perfect past to walk boldly in a divine future.
Before the pulpits and publishing houses, there was a young man navigating Botswana’s banking corridors. Numbers by day, prayers by night. He wasn't wearing priestly robes—he was wearing ambition stitched with purpose. What many saw as a detour was, in fact, divine training. While some were waiting for a sign, Onkeme was building stamina.
The founder and bishop of It Is Well Church International, Dr. Letshwiti ministers every Wednesday and Funday—but his true impact transcends the calendar. His voice, whether through a sermon, a book, or a broadcast, is filled with urgency and grace. He does not simply preach; he activates.
With over 20 books on Christian motivation, purpose, and success, he has transformed the written word into a tool for awakening. His two gospel albums are not just musical projects; they are spiritual invitations. Every product of his creativity echoes a central truth: you are not disqualified by your detours.
Your Calling Can’t Be Cancelled
If heaven needed resumes, Moses would’ve never seen a burning bush. Paul would've stayed Saul. And Dr. Letshwiti? Well, he might still be in finance. But God doesn’t hire the qualified—He qualifies the called.
Today, Onkeme’s counseling background with Childline Botswana and his publishing company in Gaborone aren’t just footnotes—they're force multipliers. They allow him to shepherd both souls and systems. It’s ministry, but it’s also mentorship.
Takeaway Quote:
“Your past doesn’t disqualify you—it’s the proof that grace works.”
How to Walk in That Boldness
- Stop auditioning for rooms God already gave you keys to.
- Don’t let failure make you mute—let it make you fluent in redemption.
- Write your story—even the messy parts—because someone needs your process, not just your polish.
