 INTRODUCTION
God’s creation of you put a smile on his face.
Yes, that’s because he create us in his own image and
likeness Genesis 1:26 why then do so many people not
accept the way God made them? Why do so many try to
change their identity?
God made you on purpose for a purpose. He has a job
for you that only you can do. Out of the billions of
people in the world only you are qualified for that job
why then are you running?
The biggest enemy of you is yourself. The voice that say,
“be like him, you are not worthy” do what he does, go
where the ground is going” you see, when you’re trying
to be like someone else, the best you can ever be is
second best.
It’s time to get our eyes off others and unto God. People
will detour you, but God will keep you on track. To
become the person you were made to be, use what he
has given you follow your good plans: resist limitation
and live an unlimited life.
The earth is the lord and everything herein and we are
the instruments God is using to accomplish his purpose
on earth.
I share a conviction that every one of us was
created for a purpose.

5
 Every one is an important tools in the hand of
God because he actually designed everyone to perform
his or her own unique function.
You are a treasure to God. He will not be at peace if
everyone on earth is succeeding and you are failing. You
are not an abandoned project, you may be the person
that God is going to bless; so don’t guilt trying .
One sure way of making yourself a failure is by guilt.
Remember quitters don’t win and winners don’t guilt.
This book is published to help bring well the best in you.
That man and woman that God created must be heard
of and that is why you must wait a little longer for you
are close to your place of destiny.
I have no doubt in me that at the end of this journey,
God will change your mindset and make you understand
that you are who you think.
Atem Joseph O.
God bless you.

 CHAPTER ONE
THINK IT AND BE IT. WHEN DOING IT

You can’t be who you’re not; thought has the

power to place you where you are not. But the question
is what are you thinking?
God created everyone on purpose for a purpose,
but many people’s thought have hinder them from
achieving this divine purpose. God told Abraham, as far
as you can see you posses. If you don’t see there, you
can’t be there, if you can’t think if you can’t be of. the
future you can see is the future you can capture. Many
spend their time thinking and desiring to be like others
without action. Faith without work is dead; yes there’s
nothing wrong desiring to be like a great man, but what
are you doing to build your thought?
The best way of knowing what you can do better is by
trying to do what you cannot do.
Fredric Klopstock remarked, “he who has opinion of his
own, but depend on the opinion of others is a Slanle. To

7
only dream of the person you are supposed is to waste
the person you are”
Nobody is as disappointed and unhappy as a
person who spend all his/her life longing to be
somebody else.
You are the best of your kind, there’s nobody
like you in this world you are the only you in existence
so no one is competing with you in becoming who you
are meant to be. There is no limit to how far you can go
if you understand who you are and what you are; just
think rightly and work towards it and be it. For every
man is a product of his thought. Your thought is your
vehicle, you can’t get there before your thought ; if you
must get there your thought have to go there. Where a
man’s treasure is there is his heart.
The greatest enemy of you is yourself; you are where
you are because you think so. Guide your thought with
all carefulness for they are you.
There is only one life for you- your own. The
person who walks in someone else’s tracks never leaves

8
his own footprints. Most of our challenges in life come
from not knowing ourselves and ignoring our true
virtues. John Stuart Mill observed , “all good things are
the fruit of originality” Apostle Theo remark; in the
journey of life, overtaken is allow anywhere and
anyhow, you can overtake who you are desiring to be
like if you are focus and positive in your thought and
doing or working toward achieving your thought.

9
 DON’T FIGHT AGAINST YOURSELF
a boy and his father are walking In the mountains.
Suddenly the son falls, hurts himself, and screams;”
AAAhhhhhhh!!!”
to his surprise, he hears a voice repeating somewhere
on the mountains; “AAA hhhhhhhhh!!!”
Curious, he shouted; “who are you?” he receives the
answer “who are you” angered at the response, he
screams: “Coward!” he receives the answer: “coward!”
he looks at his father and asked “what is going on?” my
son, pay attention. And then he screams to the
mountain: “I admire you!”
The voice answer: “I admire you!” again he screams:
“you are a champion!” the voice answer: “you are a
champion!” the boy is surprised but does not
understand. Then the father explains; people call this
Echo, but really, this is LIFE. It gives you back everything
you say or do. Our “life is simply a reflection of our
actions. “life will give you back everything you have
given to it.” (Anonymous)

10
Your life is a reflection of you!. If you’d like to know
who’s responsible for the majority of your troubles, take
a look in a mirror and your will see the person it’s time
to stay out of our own way.
There is little that can withstand a man who can
conquer himself.
-Louis XIV
Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to
get ahead of ourselves to break our own record. Stop
looking at where you’re and start looking at where you
want to be.
Our best friends and our worst enemies are the
thoughts we have about ourselves. “No man can fail you
if you have not failed yourself. You cannot be defeated
by any man if you have not defeated yourself.
We are sure to be losers when we quarrel with
ourselves.
If you doubt yourself, listen to Alexander Dumas; “A
person who doubt himself is like a man who enlist in the
ranks of his enemy and bears arms against himself”

11
Your future depends on many things but mostly on you.
“You may succeed if nobody else believes in you, but
you will never succeed if you don’t believe in yourself.
What you picture, you can capture. When you change
your picture, you automatically change your
performance.
Whatever you attach consistently to the words “I am”
you will become.
Accept yourself the way you are and walk with you to
achieve who you are meant to be.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO TAKE YOU WHERE YOU

ARE GOING?

God Bless you.

12
 IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE YOURSELF WHO
ARE YOU GOING TO BE LIKE?
A woman had a heart attack and was rushed to the
emergency room on the operating table she had a heart
dead experience; seeing God, she asked if this was the
end. He said “No, you have another forty-three years,
two months, and eight days to live.
Upon recovering, she decided to stay in the hospital and
change her face, her hair colour and even work on her
shape to have a flat tummy figuring out since she has so
much life to live she might as well make the most out of
it.
She was discharge after the final procedure; however,
while crossing the street outside, she was killed by a
speeding ambulance.
Arriving in God’s presence, she fumed, “I thought you
said I had another forty plus years to live” he replied, “ I
didn’t recognize you.
Be yourself people who try to be like others will end up
being who they are not. If you were made to be a

13
carpenter and you end up being a tailor you will make
clothes that looks like chairs.
Trying to be like others is a clear prove that you are not
man enough. You can’t be like who you are not meant
to be. One life cannot be made for two persons. Leaving
who you are to be like another will leave you with no
option than ending at nothing. Many people are made
or become useless trying to be like another. until you
make peace with who you are, you will never be
content with what you have.
- Doris Mortman
When it comes to excuses, the world is full of amazing
inventors. Don’t spend half your life telling what you are
going to do and the other half explaining why you didn’t
do it.
John mason remark; mistakes have hidden powers to
help us, but they fail in their mission of helping us when
we blame them other people. when you use excuses,
you give up your power to change and improve. You can

14
fail many times, but you won’t be a failure until you say
someone else pushed you.
Edward Goss said, “Never, mind whom you
praise, but be very careful whom you blame.
Admitting errors clears the score, and proves you wiser
than before.

Doing a job right is easier than fabricating excuses for

why you didn’t. An excuse is a foundation upon which a
man builds a house of failure. Failure comes from the
heart of those who have the habit of making excuses.
When you are good at making excuses, it is hard to
excel at anything else proverbs 14:23 says; all hard work
brings a profit, but more talks leads only to poverty.
Don’t make excuses, make progress. There may be
many reason for failure but not a single excuse.
A person who really want to do something finds a way;
the others find an excuse.
THAT YOU’RE HOLDING A KEY DOES NOT MEAN A KEY
TO THE DOOR

God Bless You

15
 DARE TO REACT BEYOND YOURSELF
Never in life settle for the lest, pick a problem that’s
bigger than you. “success , real success, in any endeavor
demand more from an individual than most people are
willing t offer not more than they are capable of
offering.
Games Roche.
The desire for safety stand against any great and
virtuous dreams. Security, many times, is the first step
towards stagnation.
One who is contended with what he has done will never
be famous for what he will do. “If you have achieved all
you have plan for yourself, you haven’t planed enough.
Be used for something significant. If you dare nothing
you should expect nothing.
The surest way to happiness is to lose yourself in a
cause greater than yourself you’ll be unhappy if you do
not reach for something beyond yourself if God is your
partner, make your plan big. To small thinkers
everything looks like a mountain. To be completely
satisfied is a sure sign that progress is about to end. If

16
you are satisfied with yourself, you’d better change your
ideals you’ll never succeed beyond your wildest dreams
unless you walk toward your dream of remaining a
dream till you die.
Dare to do what you have never done and you
will be surprise at what you can do. Don’t allow your
family condition to limit your dreams of becoming a
great successful person. Your father end up as a
motorcycle owner, you’re expected to break that limit
that is how life is meant to be.
I came out of a family that is not financially buoyant, I
lost my father in the year 2001, I was 9 years then,
growing up I decided that what limit my father will
never limit me and since then I awaken the giant in me
to work toward success by all means to make a name
that my father could not make. I have decided to dare
things that seems impossible because life answer to risk
takers.
You can’t have victory over the battle you have not
engage in. 1samuel 17:8 goliath said GIVE ME A MAN.

17
And David said no it is enough I have to challenge it and
victory was his.
Something can never happen until you leave your
comfort zone. Abraham leave your father house and go
to where I will show you.
Certain mentality can never leave you as long as you
remain in your circumference. Come out of among them
and be ye separate, then you change your world. Adaji
Bamaiyi .O remark: never allow other people’s report or
result to discourage you. Thousands of people may do a
particular thing and fail but that doesn’t mean you will
do it and fail. No one has ever survived in the lion’s den
but Daniel did not only survived in it but had a lion for a
pillow.
The three Hebrew boys (Shedrack, Meshack and
Abednego) survived the fire that its flame killed the men
that throw them into it. Numbers 13:30 Joshua and
Caleb never agreed with ten people’s report but gave
their own different report because they knew that they
were different from them. That everyone around you

18
has failed is not enough to trouble you, because God
has created you with your own exceptional potential.
Let you be “You”. Think like you and live like you. Men
of distinction are men who do their things differently. It
is in anyway true that your peculiarity is your profit.
The greatest thing you can ever be is to be yourself.
Trying to be like others is a practical acceptance that
you are less important.
Be known for what you were created to do not what
someone else was created to do. Only God can tell how
beautiful It will be, if your natural characteristics can be
visible even in the darkest night.

THE FUTURE YOU PLAN FOR AND NOT JUST SEE IS THE
FUTURE YOU CAN CAPTURE

God Bless you.

19
 WHOSE FAULT IF NOT YOURS?
Run away from a man who blames others for his failure,
for you will soon be a victim.
The worst thing you can ever do to yourself is to stay
around people who never sees fault in themselves. A
man who is ready to train me in my school I would have
been a better, if my parent had made me head of the
family business, I would have been rich, you will
continue to find excuses if you seek them.
There is something for you to start that you are
destined to finish. I’ve had dreams but the only dream
I’ve not had is to be like someone else. Two persons of
same person cannot exist in this wild world. Only you
can finish what was meant for you, another person can
only waste his time trying to do what was not meant for
him/her.
A man who has taken accusation as his occupation can
easily accuse you to have raped his wife if you only
greeted her. They are people who can never try doing
anything but will always accuse others for not doing it
right.

20
Strong-holds sometimes is not forces from demonic
kingdoms, but a faulty mindset that has been fortified
by demonic spirit, and when a mindset is been fortified
by demonic spirits, the person keeps thinking a certain
way and if becomes a stronghold. What you known can
take you where you don’t dream to be. The devil is
never afraid of your prayer life but what you know. The
devil went to Jesus after fasting and praying ( Luke 4:1 ),
but was not comfortable with Job because of the
secrets of God that was with Job. And this secrets build
a fortification around him, Job 29:4, “As it was in the
days of my youth when the secrets of the lord build a
fortification around me”
The things that occupied your heart are the reason you
are where you are.
The things you see around you are report card of what
you believe. Mark 16:7A, these signs shall follow them
that believe.
Don’t blame other for your failure, take responsibility
for the outcome of your destiny. Only lazy people have

21
all the time on earth to blame others for their
misfortunes. Don’t make people feel like nothing good
can come from your family. The bible said can anything
good come out of Nazareth but Jesus came out of there
and said I refused to be confined to this place. So many
of you want to be like people who will admire you in the
future. Each time I see myself I see a visionary leader. I
told myself I cannot die the way I was born. I was born
as a human but I will die as a dimension, systems and
dispensation. There’s nothing you are going through
today that somebody did not go through and come out.
Refuse to remain where you are.

THAT IT COME FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD DOES NOT

MEAN IT WILL AUTHOMATICALLY HAPPENED

God Bless you.

22
 CHANGE YOUR POSITION
TO GET TO YOUR DESTINATION
Nothing but change Is permanent. So many years ago, I
was a babe, but today I am old. If I had remain a child, I
would have become an abnormal child.
“you cannot become what you are destined to be by
remaining where you are” John Mass.
Leaving Egypt is compulsory for a man who want to take
over the promise land. You can be whatever you want
to be, if you can only think it, believe it and act it. You
have stayed too long at the bottom, it’s high time you
began to think on how to get to the top. Zig-Zigler
declared “one definition of insanity is to believe that
you can keep on doing what you have been doing and
have a different result.”
Losers are those who place themselves in a wrong
position. The value of a man is attached where he is.
Change your position to gain your balance. A man can
be treated as a slave here and be treated as a king
elsewhere, trace the secret of that man and you will
discover that he is in the right place. Your place

23
determine your place in destiny; your environment
holds your performance. No matter how skilled and
creative is eagle in flying; he cannot perform well in a
river.
The useless and good for nothing Joseph in the
Bible became a useful and good-for-something in Egypt.
The big liability became the most indispensable asset.
The land of slavery can become a land of great
achievement for you. If you change your position. Think
of this! What would have become of Joseph if he had
remain with his brothers?. “if a trash is taken to a right
place, it becomes a treasure” nothing on earth
influences a man like his environment. If you live in the
community of slave, you will soon become one. They
are some environment that so long as you remain there,
you can achieve nothing. God understood this when he
told Abraham to leave his father’s house to a place
where he can be established. Change of position leads
to gain of position. You cannot be in one spot and be
moving forward at the same time; if you most move

24
forward, you most have to change position. A lot of
people fail in life because they always find it difficult to
leave where they are; and as such they fail to let go
what is not helpful to them. Anything that cannot
inspire you can get you expired. A friend or an idea that
cannot facilitate your movement to the peak will
facilitate your movement to the pit. Anything that
doesn’t help you is not worth keeping, push it away and
go look for what will help you; liking any environment
that cannot change you for good, change it before it
change you for bad.
It is always profitable to let go what you cannot gain for
what you cannot lose.
John Patterson said; “only fools and dead men
don’t change their minds.“ don’t stay in an environment
that cannot bring out the best in you. The wind of
change is blooming and the best time to respond to it is
now. “Do it now! Today will be yesterday tomorrow
(author unknown). If you really wanted to be different,
you would be in the process of changing right now. A

25
man is not different from people living in the same
environment.

THE ONLY WAY TO YOUR DESTINY IS THE ROUGH WAY

YOU ARE AFRAID OF GOING

God Bless you.

26
 WHAT YOU HAVE IS ENOUGH
Limitation of any man or nation is limitation of mind and
thinking. It is highly paradoxical that most of the
background nations are more blessed in terms of
natural resources then the world’s leading nation. The
background nations are where they are because they
don’t have people who can think enough and other are
progressing because they have great thinkers.
“ What you have is enough if you can think enough” a
poor man is not one who don’t have enough but one
who have enough but don’t know how to think enough.
The bible said: my people perish because of lack of
knowledge (Hosea 4:6) poverty is that you don’t have
but not knowing what to do when you have. They are
people who don’t even know what to do when you give
them 5 million to start a business.
It is foolishness for a man to live in the sea and still beg
for water.
Adaji Sunday O.

27
You ever not a failure as you think you are, but you are
where you are because you refuse think your way out of
it.
Give a poor man 10 million and he will come back to
nothing as he was because he don’t know what to do,
but give a thinker 500k he will give you a million of the
end. Of the month because he knew what to do even
before the money came.
A man with one eye may not know he is great will until
he visit a community of the blind.
Harold Abbott said “ I had the blues because I had no
shoes until upon the street I met a man who had no
feet”.
You must not have everything before you do something.
Helen Kellen said: “Much have been given to me, I have
no time to ponder over what have been demand.” Only
a lazy man will tell you that what he has is not enough
to start. “ if you know how to dress even when you put
on a rag and people will assumed it is the latest reigning
fashion in town.

28
My dear friends, God did not create anyone to be poor.
Proverb 22:2 says: The rich and the poor meet together
the lord is the maker of them all; but he’s not the maker
of them so, mindset and thinking ability separated
them. Ecclesiastes 5:9 says; the profit of the earth is for
all even the king is served from the field.
Use what you have to get what you want. Wealth only
answers to those who have something to offer. “You
have not gotten your eyes to see what you have.
Stressed your brain and you will get your result.

YOU CAN ONLY GET IT RIGHT WHEN YOU FOLLOW

THROUGH THE NARROW GATE

God Bless you.

29
 THE GREATEST IS NOT THE GREATER
In many families, you discover that the younger is the
bread winner of the family not because he’s greater
than the eldest but because he was able to utilize what
he has and he became greater in the family. You got to
blame no one for your failure. “Overtaken is allow
anytime and anywhere”.
Apst. Proof Theo.
I have come to discover in recent time that whatever
God has destined you to be is not too big for you. God
will never allow you run him given you the necessary
endurance and a vision, he makes provision”
“ The will of God cannot lead you where his grace
cannot keep you”, wherever his word lead you to, his
presence is there to sustain you.
“you can’t win when you have not won from the inside.
True winners win from the inside out . Resolve the
matter before you get into it. “The will to prepare to
win. Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes;
lesser ones exist on wishes and inclinations. Wishes and

30
desire alone cannot take you where God want you to be
but taken action base on those desire and wishes
nobody has ever become because he/she wish to
become, you can only become what you work to
become.
Destiny can be achieved and destiny can be destroyed.
Destiny doesn’t answer to you because you are
intelligent but destiny answer to you because you work
towards achieving it. You can never achieve great
things so long as you keep running away from hard
challenges.
“The Height is Not To High “
They are people who will continue to shift
responsibilities to their younger one’s not knowing that
they are shifting greatness to them. Never in life settle
for the lest, strive to go higher you will go higher. If you
can work on yourself, the world will look for you.
If you are the best among 50 others, they will leave the
50 and look for you. It doesn’t matter how many people

31
are competing with you, if you are good at what you do,
you will be prefer above them.
John the Baptist was in the wilderness but the whole
city still followed him. You will be the best and greatest
if you bring out the best in you. What you are afraid of
may just be the easiest thing you can do. Never you
allow your mind to limit you. Man cannot be different
from his thought. “Work harder and get higher” work
towards the direction of your thoughts and you will get
to where your thought is.

LIVE THE LIFE THAT YOU WERE CREATED TO LIVE AND

YOU WILL NEVER STOP ON THE WAY WITHOUT
ACHIEVING IT.

God Bless you.

32
 YOU CAN’T GET IT UNTIL YOU GET THERE
Success is not just anywhere but success is somewhere,
and until you get there, you can’t get it. Getting there
might required persistence because that is the only
thing that prevail when all else fails. Ask a successful
man about success he will tell you more about failure.
Failure plays important role in the school of success. It’s
one of the pre-requisite in the school of success. Every
successful man have failed several times; but when you
persist after the failure success awaits you. Light cannot
come until there is darkness. After storm, there is a
glory.
The bible says; narrow is the way that leads to heaven
but broad is the way that leads to hell. The way t
success is full of thorns that only the brave and
persistence one get there.
The beginning is not what matters but the end.
(Proverbs 2b:29 KJV) says; ‘’seest thou a man delight in
his business he shall stand before king’’. You may be
whatever you resolve to be.

33
Determine to be something in the world and you will be
it. Nothing worthwhile comes easily. “Half effort does
not produce half result, it produce no result.
No one finds life worth living; you must make it worth
living.
Persistence can be a bitter plant, but it has sweet fruits.
Persistence people begin their success where most
others quit. Many times success consist of hanging on
one minute longer.
The next minute from when you quite would have just
been your success.
A man who is determine to succeed will never allow
others report to border them. He fails doesn’t mean you
will fail. And you have also fail and you have also fail
before doesn’t mean you will fail again. Don’t relax on
the past report. Paul said this one thing I do forgetting
things which are behind, press forward towards the goal
for the price of high calling in God. “You can’t catch the
future from behind” “every desire glory command
undesired price” you can’t stand-out by compromising,

34
so hold your massage tightly. They may look down on
you today but they will certainly look up to you
tomorrow let them laugh at you; for they will soon
laugh with you. It shouldn’t bother you people write you
off, when you know you have a big God that will unite
you on; after all, your name is engraved in the palm of
his hands.
Jesus wouldn’t have fulfilled his ministry if he had
listened to his critics, when you listen to what people
said concerning you, you won’t hear what God is saying
God bless you.

35
 ANGER A DESTINY KILLER
One of the most unwanted thing a man can ever have is
“ANGER” it’s a destiny destroyer. Anger can make a man
abandon a mission that have a divine cause. In other
words, it can deprive you of your destined position.
Anger deprived Moses of entry the promise land even
though he was adequately fortified by God to lead the
children of Israel to the promise land.
Anger Is a destroyer, it has the capacity to destroy a
relationship that has been guided and protected
zealously for years. Anger is not a friend but an enemy
of a man that live inside of a man. It can reduce you
from that enviable position to nothing.
You are destined to be that doesn’t mean you will
automatically be it, anger can stop you from reaching
your goal In life.
Ecclesiastes 7:9 says do not be quick in your spirit to be
angry, for irritation sattle in the bosom of fools (MEV) .
Don’t allow anger to ruin your destiny. Yes every ,am
have anger for it’s a natural thing but guide you anger;

36
don’t be ruled by anger for it will lead you to
destruction.
A young man got angry and left the school where was
heading and after some years he returned and ask for
forgiveness to what the proprietor told him, you are
welcome back but sorry the people you are suppose to
head will be heading you.
Anger has caused him his position as the head of the
school. He became a teacher when he was suppose to
be the principal.
“if anger builds a house, shame will be the favorite
tenant to occupy it.
Your rising and promotion may be connected to that
man/woman that always insult you in your place of
work but you have to be patient and use him/her to get
to the level that God has destine for you.
“To be angry with a weak man is a proof that you are
not strong yourself”
Adaji Bamaiyi O.

37
A man who Is given to temper can never go forward
because he will use his hand to destroy what he has
suffer to build.
Go and find out why many people get angry and you will
realize that most of them if not all have no
corresponding reason to be angry.

“Everybody Is Trying To Get Something Mighty Not

Knowing That Life Is Made Of Little Things. “
God bless you.

38
 MANIFESTING YOUR DESTINY
There is a system that can take a man from where he is
to his place of destiny. Believers knows exactly what
they want and where they are going but they are
ignorant of the system that will take them to where
they are going
What is destiny?

 Destiny is your predefined place of fulfillment.

Pre-define means there is a place allocated for you. And

your fulfillment is tied only to your discovery but to your
arrival.

 Destiny is also a place where your assignment

find full expression.
 Destiny is a place of notable and consistent
impact no longer the place of desire and
ambition, that you have gotten to a place where
your impact is notable and significant.
 Destiny also represent a place where you have
earn the right to transform another not just that

39
 you are transforming lives but you have fulfill
destiny to an extent that you have the privilege
in your life time watching those lives you’ve
transformed transform another

“The greatest tragedy in life is not death, the

greatest tragedy in life is a life without purpose. No
constructive definition as to where justify your living
is a big tragedy. Your need for the anointing is
useless without understanding of destiny. Your need
for children, wife, material things is useless if you do
not understand God’s idea of destiny.
There is no man born of a woman regardless of the
conditions that surrounds your birth that do not
have a purpose for been born. They may be
illegitimate relationships but there is no such thing
as illegitimate children. Every child allowed to come
into this earth has a purpose, for nobody has the
power to construct a child or fabricate a child into
this reaction.

40
 There is no one sent here on earth by mistake, we
can choose to refuse to become the prophesy upon
our lives, we can reject God’s program for our lives
and create another programs by ourselves but
anyone who will find fulfillment especially in this
end time are men and women who must aligned to
the purpose of the kingdom. You are here to create
on the programe that has been pre-destined by God
(Jeremiah 1:5) says: before I formed you in the
womb I knew you; and before you were born I
sanctify you; and I ordained you a prophet to the
nations (MEV).
Every man has a destiny in life, Jesus said in
Hebrews 10:7, then I said, see I have come to do
your will, o God, as if is written of me in the volume
of the book. (MEV). He understood the blue print of
his life and he was never confuse as to his destiny.
THE MANIFESTATION IS TOO SWEET TO HAVE ESAY
PROCESS.

God Bless you.

41
 THERE IS A PLACE FOR ME IN DESTINY
In Luke 4:18; a scroll of the prophecy of Isaiah was
given to him and he began to read “the spirit of the
Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor, he has sent me to
heal the broken hearted to preach deliverance to
the captives and recovery of sight to the blind and to
set at liberty those that are oppressed to preach the
acceptable year of the Lord and he chose the book.
There are so many people who are running the race
without knowing their destination. At age 12 Jesus
has discovered his assignment already and for 33
and half years he made an impact that so many
people for their lifetime could not make. A man
called Methuselah in Genesis 5:25 lived for 969
years without impact that was a waste of time on
earth.
“success in life is not where you achieved material
things but success is coming to the end of year life
and you are ready to go; meaning you have come to
a point we’re the door of death is open to you and

42
you look back sideward front and there’s no
unfinished work. Then you can say you are
successful.
“it’s not how long you live but how effective a man
one year can become someone else’s in a life-time,
an impact in one year can be so trans-generational.
A good name is better than precious ornament
(Proverbs 22:1)
Jesus died at 33 and half years old but out of that 33
and half years, only 3 years was to achieve ministry.
He uses 30 years for preparation.
The reason why many people will never achieve
destiny is because they ignore the process. Many
people have fail once and they refuse to rise again
because of the fear of failure.
“Failure is a pre-requisite in the school of success” a
counselor who have never fail, cannot counsel
another.
Failure gives you understanding as to what makes
one to fail and once if is understood, it becomes a
stepping stone towards success.
Never run away from your destiny because of the
volume of the obstacles, the amount of the

43
challenges is only telling you how mighty your
achievement in destiny can be when you get there.
There can never be light without darkness, if you
can be patient enough, after the darkness, night will
spank forth. No victory without a challenge. If you
must receive the glory, you must bring out the
possibilities in you. The glory of a thing is the
possibilities inherent in that thing.
The system is such that nothing happen just like
that, you must do something to get something even
destiny.
Genesis 3:17b says; caused is the ground in accord
of you; in hard labor you will eat of all the days of
your life.

YOU ALONE CANNOT GET THERE,

YOU NEED SOMEONE TO LEAD
YOU WHERE YOU ARE GOING

God Bless you

44
REQUIREMENT FOR MANIFESTING YOUR DESTINY
The name of Jehovah was defile by the
uncircumcised philistine called goliath because of
inability of the children of Israel to understand to
understand the requirement to bringing him down
to an extent that goliath challenge them saying: give
me a man (1 Samuel 17: 8)
There’s what you need to manifest your destiny in
life. Nothing works in life, until you work it. You
don’t just see there by default, the only thing that
will change when you keep sitting in one place is
your age.
There are so many people who will celebrate
birthdays every year. Birthday is not just the fact
that you were born but birthday should be a
purpose anniversary, celebrating for achieving the
reason you were born. You have the right to thank
God but you truly do not have a right to celebrate
birthday when purpose have not been achieved.
People will celebrate you when you impact them,
you will not even be the one celebrating.
“Calling everybody and reminding them of your
birthday is a clear evidence that your life is not
impactful” your birthday will be notice when your
life is noticeable. Many people keeps harassing by
sending messages to people to remind them if their

45
birthday when their lives has never remind them of
Christ or impacted them in anyway.
No matter how bad and anti-great people are
when you bless their lives they become so grateful
to not notice it.
You must be determine to not just succeed but fulfill
your destiny. My concept of success is fulfilling your
assignment not just moving forward.
HERE ARE THE REQUIREMENT
 Encounter with Jesus (john 3:1-7)
Jesus said he is the door, meaning he is
the legal access paint to everything in the
kingdom. Whatever he cannot give no
one can give you can get into the house
through the widow but the end shall tell.
He told Nicodemus in the scripture above
that no man can enter except he be born
again. Where you encounter Jesus, you
will raise your children in a Godly way.
There are indices that show you have
encounter Jesus.
i. Your word II your life style III the
things you do
iv. Your relationship with the things of
God.

46
 The power of preparation and
thoroughness (2 Chronicles 27:6) Jotham
become strong because he prepared his
way before the Lord.
There is power for preparation. We live in
a generation where there is such an
obsession for manifestation to proof a
point but ignore preparation. What do
you during preparation?
1. You will learn and understand the
principles and ministries of the
kingdom.
2. Access to revelation
3. Finances, whatever you want to
become require finances to make it
happens.
4. You must learn to apply scriptures to
your life.
5. Understand principles of leadership
and management.
6. Learn to understand people and
relationship.
 ACTION: These has to do with the
relevance action you take (1 Joshua 1 says
be strong and of good courage. You have
to summon courage to get up and take

47
 bold step in life. Action require courage,
persistence and consistence.
 ACTION ALSO REQUIRE A SYSTEM. You
don’t just act carelessly but there’s a
system you must follow to be what you
want. You must read books of people who
have been where you are going to known
what is sustaining there.

WHATEVER IS SWEET MUST HAVE A

BITTER BEGINNING.

God Bless you

48
 THE GIVER AND THE GIFT
Are you an apostle, pastor, teacher of the word,
evangelist or prophet, all this are gift.
Have you ever taught of the giver? Have you ever
thought of what will happen when He finds you being
carried away by the gift and abandoned “He” the giver?
You have focused on the give and neglect the giver.
There are so many ministers of God that, have missed it
because of the gift, they have abandoned the owner of
the gift as a result of the privileges that accompanied
the gift.
Many ministers are no longer given God the glory. (1
Isaiah 43: 21) says; this people have I formed for myself
that they show forth my glory. Is God, the owner of the
gift glorify at your gift is yes keep it up. But if no, you
have fulfill.
There are so many ministers, that had people in mind
when they were nothing but immediately God made
them because of thing good works towards humanity,
they unmake God who has made them, thinking they

49
have arrived. “it’s, not the arrival that matters but how
you arrive is what matters”.
Many people who are called into ministries, because
of their zeal for the things of God were bless by this
same God through the gift, have left the giver and start
pursing the blessings of the gift. Before now you said
your life, your resources belongs to God, but now that
you are made, you’ve grown so intelligent that you now
want to separate your business from God’s business
forgetting that it’s God’s business that brings your
business.
Because you suffered before getting it does not mean
everyone must or should also suffer before getting it.
The reason why God place you there, us for you to help
others get there.
When your ministry is not growing, the you are not also
growing irrespective of the material things you have
acquired.
The people that God have given to you are dying of
hunger, sickness, depression, poverty and you are

50
comfortable, you are not a good minister. “You may
have the word but you don’t have what it takes to
preach the word”,
John 3:16 says; for God so love the world, that he
gave………what is your evidence that you known what
you are preaching.
“Many died achieving what they were not destined to
start” that God is still hearing your prayers doesn’t
mean your ways are still right with him, but God is
honoring his word.
The greatest tragedy in life is not death the greatest
tragedy in life. Is a life without purpose.
Jesus said “ I am the way” it doesn’t matter to me how
you get there but it matters to me which way you
follows. Success in life is not what you achieve but
whether or not you get it right. Abraham walked with
God, Enoch walked with God, Elijah walked with God,
Elijah walked with God, and they all end with God, good
but if you are not sure, it’s never to late to retrieve your
step.

51
If you are with God you know, if you are not you know
and if you are not sure, then you are not, but know that
you will account for you life, the gift and the ministry
and people given to you.
So many ministers have made many believed that you
must have to suffer before you get there it’s true but
there is also a God who blesses men even without
suffering. You have put so many under you not letting
them go higher because you think they will outgrown
you but know this, the owner of the life you are living is
watching you.
“You may think you are jailer but both the jailed and the
jailer are lucked up, only Jesus can open the door of
salvation”.
Therefore let him that think he stands take heed lest he
fall. 1 Corinthians 10:12. Are you fallen or you have fall
already? There is still away out have a re-think.
God bless you.

52
 YOUR ATTITUDE REFLECT YOU
Although everyone has an attitude, not everyone has
the same type of attitude. Some individuals attitude
propel them along, helping them to deal with
challenges, overcome obstacles and accomplish their
objectives.
Others have attitude that slow them down or stop them
altogether. When your life and all that concerns you is
negative check your attitude because attitude is
everything.
Our attitudes are often affected by the circumstances
we deal with day –today. What happens to us influences
what goes on within us unless we master a process for
taking control of our attitudes to maintain a positive
approach to life even negative event occurs.
“people are always blaming their circumstances for
what they are. Blame your attitude for what you are”
right attitude put you in a right place
KEITH HARRELL in one of his books: attitude is
everything said: one Sunday in church he heard a

53
beautiful soprano voice behind him. Her singing was so
joyful that he had to see who it was. The voice belonged
to a middle-aged lady sitting in a wheelchair. Her left
hand rested on a little platform with a lever that control
the chair. Someone had placed the hymnal in her lap so
that she could read the verse and sing it. Evidently this
woman had lost the use of all her limbs with the
exception of the fingers of her left hand yet there was a
smile on her face, and obviously, joy in her heart.
“What happens to you does not have to live within you”
bad events sometimes can serve as a stepping stones to
your goals. But what become of it depends on the
attitude you choose.
“if you can be patience and maintain the bad road, you
will get to where you are going rather than entering the
bush simple because the road is bad. It will take you
back. Ward them where you started” many persons
have been going from one place to another looking for
solution to the problem that they don’t know the
source.

54
Identify through self-awareness the attitudes that hold
you back or propel you forward.
If you must known the person that sometimes is the
problem of or to your life, look in a mirror and you will
see him standing right there facing you. If you can walk
on whoever you see there, then your problem is solved.
Proverbs 4:23 as a man thinketh in his heart so is he
your attitude is you and you are your attitude. Don’t try
to change yourself but change your attitude to change
yourself your attitude is like a mirror that show who are.
Your attitude reflect you.

THE BAGGAGE YOU

ATTITUDE

55
 PROCASTINATION THE ENEMY OF DESTINY
The greatest enemy of today achievement is tomorrow.
It has the power to shop you achieving your plans.
Hear this story;
Once a time, the devil decided to destroy the world. He
called in all his little devils to make plans. Anger came
first and asked to be allowed to do the job by setting
brother against brother. He would make people angry
with one another, and they would destroy themselves.
Then lust came and offered to go. He would defile
minds, turn people into beasts by causing love to
disappear. Next, greed spoke and offered to destroy
human kind with the most destructive of passions.
Uncontrolled desires. Gluttony and drunkenness offered
to disease bodies and minds and then destroy them.
Idleness, hatred, and envy each claimed that they could
do the job.
The devil was not satisfied with anyone of them, but
then the last assistant came. He said, “I will talk with
people persuasively in terms of all that God want them
to be. I will tell them how fine their plans are to be
honest, clean and brave. I will encourage them in the
good purposes of life!.” The devil was against at such
talk. However, the assistant continued: “ but I will tell
them there is no hurry. They can do all of these things
tomorrow. I will advise them to wait until conditions

56
become more favourable before they start?”. The devil
replied, you are the one who will go to earth to destroy
humankind!” the assistant name was procrastinating.
Procrastinating is failures most successful strategy. Now
is the best time to achieve whatever you want, to
achieve in life. If you want to make easy job seems
difficult, just keep putting off doing it.
We’re all fugitives, and the things we didn’t do
Yesterday are the bloodhounds- Prism.
Said Joseph Newton, “A duty dodged is like a dept
unpaid, it is only deferred and we must come back and
settle. The account at last.”
The fool, with all his other thoughts, has this also; he is
always getting ready to live.
- Cpicurus.
“Tomorrow will I live,” the fool does say; tomorrow
itself is too late; the wise lived yesterday.
-Martiar

DO NOT ALLOW IDLENESS TO DECEIVE YOU, FOR

WHERE YOU GIVE HIM TODAY, HE STEALS TOMORROW
FROM YOU.
-Crowquill.

57
 SUCCESS HIDE BEHIND FAILURE
A man who rises without failing will fail without rising
again. Failure is a prerequisite in the school of success.
If you must succeed in, you must have failure to deal
with. Failures and obstacles are part of life and many
times lead to excellent opportunities that will take you
to your place in destiny.
Not all obstacles are bad. In fact, an opportunity
favorite disguise is an obstacle. You will always meet
obstacles on the road to your answer.
Failure has hidden powers of helping as succeed. It
helps to understand that our best wasn’t enough.
“There can never be a security securing nothing”
whenever you see a security, securing a place
something worth securing is inside. So when you see
failure, success is hidden behind and when you see
obstacles know that opportunities is hidden behind.
The fight is good; it is proof that you haven’t
guilt and are still alive.

58
 No one is immune to problems. Even the lion
has to fight off flies. The apostle Paul said;
We are pressed on everyside by troubles, but
not crushed and broken. We are perplexed because we
don’t know why thing happen as they do, but we don’t
give up and guilt. We are hunted down, but God never
abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up
again and keep going.
-2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (TLB)
Being a diligent person does not remove you from the
world and its problems rather, it positions you to live in
it productively and victoriously.
Failures and obstacles can temporarily detour you, but
only you, can make you stop. Your struggle may be
lasting, but it is not everlasting. Failures will reveal what
you truly believe and who you really are.
It introduces you to yourself. You will find out what you
honestly believe in the face of problems.
Your life will be much more productive if you
understand that failure and obstacles are part of life.

59
 If you want your place in the sun, you will have
to expect some blisters.
Studs Terkel said, “face the music, and someday you
may lead the band”.
The difference between iron and steel is fire, and the
fire- tried steel is worth it.

SHOW ME A THOROUGHLY SATISFIED MAN,

AND I WILL SHOW YOU A FAILURE.
-THOMAS EDISON

God Bless you.
