Alright so, am a 45 years old man, the thing is I have a ministerial calling in music, but the thing is I have not been able to fulfill that purpose yet, the songs I have are divine songs meaning I don't really compose them, i might just be walking and I will find myself singing and already compose songs and I will like wow, but I have been trying to do a song or two but have not been finding it easy all this while.. and I think time has already gone on me because of my age.

You're 45, yes. But you're also more grounded, more seasoned, and far more spiritually mature than you probably were at 25 or 30. That mattersa lotespecially for a ministerial calling. Divine songs are not ordinary songs. You're not writing hits for the charts; you're carrying messages meant for appointed times and appointed people. That’s a sacred weight.

And if these songs are coming to you effortlessly while walking, resting, or just being that’s not coincidence, that’s grace. That’s a calling that’s still alive.

Now, you said something important: “I have been trying to do a song or two but have not been finding it easy.” Let me gently ask—are you trying to do it all alone? Many people with powerful callings get stuck not because they lack the gift, but because they try to carry the weight of execution and obedience all by themselves.

Purpose is rarely fulfilled in isolation. You might just need the right person or team or someone who understands your vision, can help you arrange, produce, and release your music. The anointing is already there. What may be missing is structure and support.

Also, about time. Don’t let the enemy use time as a weapon against you. Moses was 80 when he stepped fully into his purpose. Abraham was 75 when his journey really began. Jesus didn’t start his ministry until 30, and it lasted just three years but changed the world forever.

So no time hasn’t passed you by. In fact, you might just be on Heaven’s timetable, not the world’s.

Let me leave you with this:
You weren’t just called. You were chosen. And if God gave you these songs, He fully intends for them to reach the people they’re meant for. Your job is to say yes again and take the next small step. Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s slow.
