DESTINY
Destiny means future or pre-determined path of life or pre-determined events that are meant or shall happen in a man’s life which are beyond his control, input or influence. By this definition and concept, it can be deduced that man has no active role in the outcome of his life, that success or failure is beyond man’s control, that que sera sera (what will be, will be) irrespective of our actions or inactions. This is a destructive fallacy and has completely eroded the potency of the creative force inherent in our mind, the audacity of our visions and has entrapped many in spiritual comatose.

No man or woman is born to fail, non is born to suffer, at birth irrespective of our background is equal. All, yes l mean all has the equal right to succeed in life. The journey of life may be easier for some, difficult for some but the destinations is and always has been a function of CHOICE. There is no iota of favouritism in nature, the universe runs on the principle of equality. The misconception lies in our value system, mistaking materialism for contentment and success. Nature uniformly and equally blessed all with the brain, the mind and time. Ability or inability to productively engage and develop prudent management of these is what places one either at the bottom or the top of the ladder.

Always remember that anything, yes anything conceived by the human mind is possible and achievable. As a man sees in his mind, so will his life turn out. As you picture it, so shall it be featured. You are meant to dominate, conquer and rule your world. Stop being a mere spectator, passively watching your script being directed and played out by chance and others. You own your life, get up, take charge and narrate your script. Nobody owes you anything so don’t rely on others. At the end, you and only you will be accountable for how well or not you lived your life.


Don’t be deceived by misguided religious beliefs. Remember the scriptural mandate…let it be done to you according to your faith. Faith here implies vision, as you picture, as you visualize so shall it be granted unto you. Heaven cannot do for you what you can do for yourself. Do not join parochial minded church folks to sing “it shall be permanent, it shall be permanent” when you wallow in pessimistic self induced mental comatose. Don’t be comfortable in creative and material poverty, don’t embrace mediocrity. Come out of your comfort zone and live practically. Do not come to the end of your live, only to find out that you have not truly lived. If the video clip of your life were to be played to you after you are gone, you will be bitter at the opportunities you missed because you ‘’thought”, “knew” and were “told” that it was impossible for you.

You are the architect of your future and will definitely be accountable for the outcome. You can re-write and re-construct your script, your future. Your tomorrow is a function of 90% of your decisions and 10% cumulative effects/reactions of your decisions. Nature abhors serendipity and honours choices. Gethsemane shall be overcome, Golgotha shall be trodden down, so when you are faced with the trials and tribulations of same, let the heart not quake or quiver for there is and always has been a light at the end of the tunnel. A life devoid of challenges is not really existing and unproductive.

Get up, re-trace your steps, re-evaluate your values and believe systems, demystify the unknown and rule your world. Your destiny is a product of your vision. Let every action, inaction, decision align and take your closer to your vision hence they must count. Put away all encumbrances and stubbornly focus on your vision, every obstacle surmounted is an increased momentum to your vision. Your destiny is directly proportional to the summation of your vision, knowledge and effort/ work (vision + knowledge + effort/work = destiny).
Let it be done to you according to your faith…………..l can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
YOUR FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS
