The Fear of the Lord is a foundation of life, turning a man from
the share of death (Proverbs 13: 27 KJV).
The vision of writing this book came to me when I began to
read some motivational books, after a lot of digestion. It came into
my mind that I should shed more light to the people about their
destiny.
This book will inspire you to reach your dream world when you
visualize and make some drastic steps and make a creative
transition. So take courage and begin to move to your destiny and
see what it holds for you.

 INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS DESTINY?
Some view destiny as what they have achieved in life, some
view it as a place they have found themselves.
Destiny may be defined as ultimate agency that predetermines
the course of event.
It may be defined as the course of event that will really
happen in future.
Oxford Advance Dictionary defines it as the power believes to
control event and what happen to particular people.
You were not created to be a failure but a winner and to
accomplish great things that is why this book was written.
I can not hear the word “Destiny” without smiling and
thinking of the character George mitly from the movie Bank that
Micheal T Fox was transported back to good old 1955 and through
series of event had to held his parent fall in love to help them fulfill
their destiny.
Possibility thinking is in actudity the exercise of dynamic,
creative, sanctified imagination.
Sir Edmund Hillary who attempted to scale Mount Everest last
one of the members of their term in the fail effort.
He returned to a hero’s welcome in London, England, where a
banquest held in his honour was attended by Lord and Ladies and
powerful people of the Bristish Empire.
When Hillary was called upon to receive the acctum of the
distinguish audience, he turned around face the mountain and said
Mount Everest you have defeated me but I will defeat you. *You
can’t get and bigger I can.*
Then I recalled Hillary’s comment and I said to myself God is
going to strengthen me, God will make me bigger and higher.
Imagine solution to yourself scaling your mountain, imagine
yourself crossing the finishing line of your destiny.
This book which is written in chapters, which would serve as a
guide to you in reaching your destiny. Chapter 1 deals with building
up your statue which encourage you to be great. Chapter 2 tells you
about how you can appreciate one who helps you to grow
successfully in life and how to applied the theory of pesting in
reaching your destiny. Chapter 3 highlights why you should forget
your past and move further. Chapter 5 shows the importance of
utilizing your opportunity by making good use of your time. Chapter
6 deals with steps you can apply in overcoming failure in life so as
to move to your destiny. Chapter 7 strongly emphasizes that with
faith you can actualize your dream. Chapter 8 finally sheds more
lights on why you should partner with God and believe that He can
lead you to a greater height.
This series “Reaching Your Destiny” would mould you and
assist you to discover your hidden talents when you read it.
 ARE YOU READY TO

START THE JOURNEY THEN

LET GO
 CHAPTER 1
MAPPING OUT YOURSELF – WORTH
Line up your opinion with God’s plan appreciate whom He has
made you to be and develop what He has given you, you are unique
blend with gift and talent. You have a special destiny on earth.
When you begin to understand, that God loves you, you’ll be able to
accept others as they are.
Follow this principle as never think or speak negatively about
yourself for that puts you in disagreement with God, meditate on
your strength and learn to encourage yourself – for most time no
one else will, Don’t compare yourself with anybody else you are a
unique one of a kind and original, so don’t settle to being a copy
focus on your potential not your limitation. Remember God loves
you, find something you like and do it well.
Have the courage to be different from others, be a God
pleasure and not people pleasure. Learn to handle criticism let it
develop you instead of discouraging you; determine your own worth
before others do it for you. Keep you short coming in perspective,
you’re still a worker in progress. Focus daily on your greatest source
of confidence – God.
Now that you’ve mapped out your destiny in a broad way. You
are ready to test out the specific strategy of written view of what
your destiny look like, write it down and start to work on it.
It is the way you think that determine the way you live, if you
think enough what you have will be enough. When you handle small
things as big thing today, it will give you a bigger and better
opportunity tomorrow to handle big things.
Don’t be in the state of inferiority complex God has a plan for
you. Always see yourself as an achievers.
You are wonderfully made by God, He destined you for a
purpose, try to position yourself in a higher place.
James Allen, In his book title “As man thinketh” says all that
a man achieves or fails to achieve is the direct result of his thought.
The better your thought, the better your prospects on life. Play
Wright Victor Hugo said “A small man is made up of small thought.
The level of reaching your destiny will increase dramatically if
you place a high value on good thinking which is the key in mapping
out yourself worth.
Begin to imagine your potential creativity and your talent, set
your mind in achieving great things.
You are wonderfully made by God to actualize great things,
building yourself and think positively. Bill Gate was able to invent
Microsoft ware for computer and besides he is the world richest
man.
 Greatness is achieved when you set your mind in your
potentiality, don’t kill your dream and destiny, you can make it, you
can get to the place where you have never dreamt before, you can
see yourself in the midst of world class inventors, Business icon and
top politicians.
You can shine like a state in your family, state and country,
you can be a great sport man or woman, reporter, mentor and
successful business mogul if you determine to.
List out those things your find out yourself worth doing.

(3)
(4)

(6)
(7)

Moreso, after listing those things that you find out yourself
worth doing, begin to work toward it, seek counsel from your
mentor, your elders and also pray for God direction and wisdom to
be able to achieve your potential and vision.
However, learn to accept critics this would help you to move
forward in reaching your destiny. If you can’t accept criticism, you
can never discover you weakness and the desire to achieve
greatness is by accepting criticism.
There is a song that said “I have a dream” a dreamer is a
potential achiever. Let what is deposited in you to manifest.
God has designed something great in your life, it is your task
and obligation to utilize the talent and gift that He has bestowed in
you, don’t allow it to live.
Anything that you have found yourself doing or things that
interest you most to do, do it well, don’t relent in your effort in
doing it for one day, you will shine like a star.
It might interest you to know that other people might be
looking for what God has deposited, so don’t ever think that God
does not care for you, He love you and He wants you to make full
potential, He has given to you to be a reality.
 CHAPTER 2
QUALITIES OF ACCOUNTABILITY

You can’t partner successfully with people who doesn’t share

with your goals and vision.
Accountable people usually exhibit good qualities:
(a) Vulnerability: They are capable of harmony when they are
wrong and admitting it even before they are confounded.
(b) Teachability: They are willing to bear and to learn and open
to council.
(c) Availability: They are accessible you can always reach them.
(d) Honesty: They have anything phorry and care committed to
the faith regardless of how much it hurts.

When God send people like that into your life, thank God for
them. Have are four principle that will help you to deals with them
accurately.

1. Show Appreciation: If somebody has blessed and enhance your

life, always acknowledge it. Never take others for granted and
never forget to say thank you.
2. Carry your own weight: Avoid doing things that can be contrived
as opportunities and not ability life owe you nothing except an
opportunity to grow.
3. Be open and direct about what you want, rambling speeches and
utterior motive assure in that the other person is some how less
intelligent than you and that can not further understand that
boundaries dust because other know somebody will enough to
call him by his first name doesn’t mean that you should envy on
the side of the formal out formular.

If someone says Hello my name is Chariste don’t reply with, what is

up shake hand, show respect don’t try to charge protocol to suit the
environment you are used to observed boundaries

IMPORTANT OF FEARING GOD

Solomon said “the fear of Lord is the beginning of
wisdom” knowledge of the holy one result in understanding.
Proverbs 9: 10.
It is important to note that fearing the Lord brings blessing,
happiness, hope and brighter future.
These is one of the character that a Christian should exhibit in
the reaching their destiny.
 If you really want to reach your destiny, you have to obey
God’s word and you have to fear God. It is then that God’s blessing,
favours and breakthrough will manifest in your life.

EMULATING THE CHRIST LIKE NATURE

As a Christian you need to live an exemplary life of Jesus and
follows his teaching. Besides the reason why God created man was
to worship and glorified Him on planet earth, Represent God’s
present, express God’s lordship manage the thing of God and
multiply and it be productive. Hebrew 13; Joshua 1.
Before you can reach your destiny, you must live a life that
pleases God, you need to obey God’s word.
Living a faithful life is one of the qualities of Accountability,
God blesses those that are faithful to Him, the bible clearly make us
to understand through faithfulness we can obtain God’s mercy and
favour. Abraham was faithful to God by obeying his words. After
God has tested him, He knew that Abraham was faithful and
obedience and He bless him. Genesis 22:1 – 24.

RESPECTING YOUR ELDERS

You have to respect the elders if you really want to achieve
something in life, you need their counsel and besides you have to
partner with them so that they will give you moral advice in
reaching your destiny.
Your struggle in reaching your destiny might be difficult, but
through the council of the elder, you might make it. Proverb 10:17.

AVOID PRIDE AND ASSOCIATE WITH PEOPLE WHO HAS

VISION
Living a life of pride is worthless and result to venture, don’t
associate yourself with people that will kill your dream vision and
destiny, but partner with those that have ideas, vision and dream
too.
Associate with those people that will help you t grow
spiritually, socially, emotionally, physically and financially in
reaching your destiny.
In your daily life, always be direct and straight forward, live a
life of appreciating those that help you to grow and add value to
your life.
 IMPROVING YOUR QUALITIES OF ACCOUNTABILITIES
It is imperative to be attending seminars and workshop,
lectures that will help to develop you creativity and besides by
emulating good qualities from the speaker or the presenter, listen to
tape on motivational and inspirational talks that will assist you in
reaching your destiny and besides watching some television
programme that articulate you in living a worthy life.
Improving your qualities of accountabilities by reading
motivational book by some seasonal authors like Bill, developing the
potential within you. Bain (Destination success, morning, Peale the
power of positive thinking and Napoleon Hill Hunle and Growth Rich
and the BIBLE.
Solomon said, Intelligent people are always open to new
ideas in that they look for them. If you want to reach your destiny,
it is important to live by the example of those that have good
character and qualities.

THEORY OF DESTINY
I have critically examine some of people attitude in reaching
their destiny, I now discover that they lack some principle to applied
in stepping forward to greatness in life.
This is the reason why this theory of Destiny had been develop
to catapult you to root of greatness and achieving your purpose in
planet earth.

Theory of Destiny (a)

When the demand for change in life is propositional to the
psychology of positive thinking (mind) and hardwork, then theory of
Destiny is equal to Actualization.

 CHAPTER 3
START AFRESH
People think that when they fail to accomplished their set up
goals, they believe that they can’t make it again. Don’t relent your
effort of trying again, you might see yourself as a failure, but not
knowing that God did not create you to be a failure in life, but to be
a successful person.
Try to discover your weak point and work toward it. Be at alert
in any situation you find yourself in life.
Avoid anything that may not encourage you to move toward
your destiny, think before you act, because your action may derail
you in reaching your destiny.
Don’t say life is impossible, keep moving, keep practicing, and
keep thinking positively, the book of Mark 10: 7 says; and Jesus
looking upon them said with man it is impossible but with
God, for with God all things are possible (KJV).
Don’t be agitated, avoid side talk and believe that you would
make it again in life. Psalm 4: 6 -8; Psalm 14:22.
Be strong in the Lord, take good courage, God has something
special for you indeed failure enhance you to rebuild your strength
and move forward.
In your course of starting afresh, you need to imagine the
journey, how it is going to be? What are your targets? Will what you
are planning to carry out brings positive impact to you and the
society? Those are some of the questions you will need to ask
yourself.
Absolutely, most people are not aware of what they are
targeting or planning to do, they go about setting up irrelevance
things and unproductive things. They pursue something that brings
inconvenience to themselves and which could also result to
insecurity in the society.
There are things we need to reexamine before we implement
so it may not affect the society negatively.
You need to target a rewarding venture, a project that will
brings sustainable development to the society, something that
touches the life of people positively and make you live a fulfill life.
Moreso, in starting afresh to reach your destiny, you don’t
have to remembered those past ordeals that you have encountered,
Paul said ”No dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all, I
shall be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing
forgetting the past and looking forward to what likes ahead.
Philippians 3:13.
 Besides you need to look forward envisioning the brighter
future, avoid starry at the past and look forward in reaching your
destiny.

THINGS YOU HAVE TO KNOW IN STARTING AFRESH

1. Every disappointment is a blessing
2. When there is life, there is hope
3. It is not over, keep moving forward

Paul also say, I don’t mean to say that I have already

achieved these things or that I have already reached
perfection, but I keep working toward that day when I will
finally be all that Christ Jesus send me for and want me to
be. Philippians 3:12.
Moreover, you don’t have to relent your effort in pressing toward
your destiny don’t give laziness a chance, be creative and
productive.
Great things are awaiting you, has you start afresh, don’t fold
your arms and wait for manna to fall from heaven. It is your own
determination that you will reach your destiny.
Don’t allow any distraction of sort to hinder you in starting afresh,
avoid profligate behaviour and be wise in managing resources and
time.
Don’t force yourself into anything that will jeopardize your destiny
or bring bad reputation into your life, indulge yourself in things that
will bring you a brighter future.
Starting afresh is a blue print in reaching your destiny, many
have failed to accomplish their destiny because of their
incredibilities and they still remained in the same statue in life.
As you paddle the canoe in reaching your destiny, by starting
afresh you have to partner with God.
Besides God really want to see you moving into a greater height
and He has all it take to guide and protect you has you start afresh
in reaching your destiny.
Vision is to have a preknowledge of an on coming event you need
fresh vision to make a fresh motion.
The keys to assure a secure future are hardwork, determination,
focus and proper planning with total faith and trusts in God.
Your belief in God will bring comfort during any of your
experience in taking a bold step in starting afresh in reaching your
destiny.
 FACING THE CHALLENGES THAT AWAIT YOU
There are challenges that you will encounter during the
journey of starting afresh in reaching your destiny, you must be
courageous and be focus on your pursuit in reaching your destiny.
They are certain people who do not believe in their ability and
talent; they feel dismay in any problem they encountered in life.
Every failure, frustration or calamity is a stepping stone to
your accomplishment in life. Don’t think that if you fail in certain
aspect of your life, either in academic, business or whatsoever, that
doesn’t means that you can’t make it in life. This is a preparatory
ground for you to reach your destiny.
Getting yourself overweight with certain problem is not the
way out you might think that God has no plan for you but God has a
good plan for you.
It is your own determination to start afresh from where you
couldn’t make it. Besides you have to rebuild yourself, be creative in
your destiny, envision yourself has if you have almost getting to the
finishing line of your destiny.
The bible said, for I know the plans, I have for you “say,
the Lord” they are plans for good and not of disaster, do give
yourself a future and a hope, Jeremiah 29:11
The book of Hebrews has shown us some great example of
people who have faith in God which include the faith that Enoch was
been taken to heaven alive, the faith of Abel accepted his offering
and that of Sarah she was able to bear a child at old age, Hebrew
11:13.
Don’t feel that your problems are bigger than God, remember
that He has been doing wondrous works in the ancient days and
even the present days, it can still do the same to you, there is
dictum that says “with God, all things are possible ”.
Meanwhile it is imperative to be patient in problem solving,
your patient and faith with God brings blessing. It may take some
months, years, for your problems to expire but still have faith and
wait patiently for your problems will come to pass. God didn’t create
you to face problems for the rest of your life, He want to test your
faith. James 1:2 -14

HAVING PATIENCE AND WAITING FOR GOD’S DIVINE

INTERVENTION
Patience is very vital tool in solving problem. I could
remember a story of young man who was searching for a job.
Anytime he is called for an interview, he must experience
disappointment when he was called upon to the panel of interview,
he will answers all the question that was asked from him but when
the result of the interview was put his name was not on the list of
those successful candidate, but when this young man approach me,
I told him that he should put this two words in action “PATIENCE
AND HOPE” he did it and something marvelous happen in his life,
he was given an appointment to work in a multinatural oil company,
as an executive officer. Don’t feel that God has forgotten you, he
want you to succeed in life. Many have lose the destiny because of
impatience and waiting for God’s divine intervention in their
problem. Psalm 33:20.
You need to apply these great words patience and hope. God
knows your problems, He wants you to exercise patience and hope
on God in reaching your destiny.
Reaching your destiny lines on having patience and waiting on
God’s divine visitation and intervention, going through a difficult
situation with calm endurance and not complaining or using self
control (Word Bible Publisher Inc. 1992).
 ANY OPPORTUNITY

THAT COMES IS

SPECIALLY DESIGNED

FOR YOUR DESTINY SO

DON’T TOY WITH IT;

Kenneth Udoumeh
 CHAPTER 4
UTILIZING YOUR OPPORTUNITY

WHAT IS OPPORTUNITY: Longman Dictionary of Contemporary

English defines as a chance to do something or an occasion when it
is easy for you to do something.

Opportunity Formula
Opportunity = Time + Enthusiasm =Y+E

Integrity + Planning =I+P

Opportunity simply means chance that comes your way in life.

OPT = Y + E

I+P

You and I are swimming in a vast ocean of opportunities and

possibilities, with your subconscious resources only perceiving a
thing fraction of our environment and conscious resources
processing even less, chances, are even barely notice these
opportunities brushing post you. Yet you may feel your life has
become boring, routine and predictable. You may feel you haven’t
encountered a truly great opportunity in years, sound familiar?
Despite popular opinion, your true problem in find and utilizing
great opportunities isn’t that they don’t exist. No opportunities are
constantly flying around you, it is simply that most people wouldn ’t
recognize a great opportunity if it slapped in the face. The problem
isn’t a lack of opportunities, but your failure to perceive them, so
the real question is how can you utilize all the opportunities in your
environment in the most effective way.
If you are trying to work on your lateral growth, then
improving your ability to utilize opportunities is right at the core. For
those who are new to my ranting, lateral growth is simply the kind
of growth that requires exploring new things and expanding your
perception as opposed to hard work, discipline and focused goals. If
you are highly adapt at quickly snatching and utilizing opportunities
that pass your way, then you are probably also highly matured in
your lateral growth.

How do you utilize opportunities?

 Well I think it would be best to define exactly what I mean
when I say opportunity. Opportunities are potential avenues of
thought or action that could lead to a greater reward than cost and
opportunities of outside your realm of direct experience. If you
already had experience with a particular opportunity, you would
quickly recognize and utilize it, so by opportunities we are specially
referring to those events, situations or actions that can lead to a
reward but it may be immediately clear how or what.
As an example, let’s say you are walking down a hall and you
briefly notice a poster, advertising for a Toastmasters club. Now you
have never been a toastmasters before, so you cannot be precisely
sure whether this is a hidden opportunities or just a waste time.
Furthermore, if you don’t feel particularly comfortable speaking in
public, you mind may see this event as potentially painful and not
as an opportunity for growth. So how can you use these given and
hidden opportunities? In short being able to find recognize and use
opportunities requires three skill curiosity, spontaneity and courage.

CURIOSITY:
Curiosity is basically your own internal motivation to discover,
explore and find opportunities without a strong drive to break
outside your comfort zone, you cannot hope to utilize even a small
fraction of the opportunities available, this curiosity should be innate
as well. In other word, your motivation for discovery should be
purely from your curiosity to explore not because you predict a
certain reward at the end.
At first it may seem illogical that the best tool to utilize hidden
opportunities requires you stop thinking about the reward why
would you pursue the opportunity in the first place if you didn’t think
it had a pot of gold at the end, the problem is that the rewards at
the end of most opportunities are impossible to perceive in the
beginning. A curious attitude says that even if there isn’t a final
reward, the act of exploration and discovery is a reward in itself.
I assume that most people reading books are fairly curious
people, if you weren’t curious then I doubt you would spend much
time trying to change or improve your life in any way. What may
have happened, however, is the fear, over – rationalizing or
discouragement may have happened, however, is the fear, over –
rationalizing or discouragement may have taken your natural
curiosity and dulled it considerably. By improving the other two
skills spontaneity and courage, you will likely find your curiosity
pipued as well in reaching your destiny.

SPONTANEITY:
 The second skill necessary to utilize hidden opportunities is
spontaneity, most opportunities are slippery. They will swim by you
giving you only a few seconds of time to grow hold before they
move away. If you spend too much time debating which
opportunities to pursue, you will likely miss more than you catch
spontaneity requires you to build up your ability to make good
decisions quickly. If you struggle to make even basic decisions like
what to eat or what to talk about in less than a minute or two, your
ability to be spontaneous will be severely limited. Although carefully
weighing out pro’s and con’s and thinking through decisions on a
logical basis may makes sense when there are only a few variables
involved, most of our decisions have far too may factors to make
that approach useful.
To improve your quick decision making skills, start using a
timer to make any decision for most decisions you should make
them in under a minute especially for such trivial ones as what you
plan on eating for lunch. Some opportunities, like whether to talk to
the stranger waiting in line, may need to be acted upon in only a
couple seconds. The less your hesitation, the more spontaneous you
can be.
Another factor that contributes to spontaneity is your flexibility
with time, many people’s lives are so rigid that it is very difficult to
insert new opportunities; their productivity simply won’t allow it. In
these cases I suggest one of two approaches the first and easiest
approach is to simply toggle between cycles of focus and flexibility
so that you can have periods of more productivity and periods of
greater experimentation and discovery.

COURAGE:
Any hidden opportunity will have risk involved the sense of
unknown that comes whenever we are exploring possibilities outside
our comfort zone is what creates fear; the ability to manage that
fear and act inspite of it is called courage I already wrote about how
you can overcome fear, so I will instead focus on how you can use
courage when finding those hidden and given opportunities.
Fear is an excellent indicator of where you lack experience
whatever you fear, chances are in need of a lot of growth in that are
courage can allow you to venture as deep as possible into your
years without drowing in them. As you build up your courage, your
ability to find opportunities will naturally be reflected because of you
can venture deeper and deeper.
Opportunities are coming at you all the time unfortunately a
lot of the best opportunities are completely hidden from view and it
is up to us to recognize and utilize them, taking advantage of these
situations allows you to grow and expand your life, so go out and
find those opportunities whether to talk to that stranger who could
become a lifelong friend, try new activity which could become a
passion or work on an idea that can change your life in reaching
your destiny.

There are two strategies that is involve in opportunities

1. Management of time
2. Short and long term planning

MANAGEMENT OF TIME
It is imperative to manage your time, don’t procrastinate,
management of time, it will assist you to actualize your goods. If
you fail to make good use of your time, definitely you would have
yourself to blame. Time management is very important in dealing
with “opportunity”.
Be wise in time management, as a student, you need to
manage your time, pay more attention to your personal timetable,
form a reading group, exchange some ideas, it will help you to
perform well academically.
As an individual, you need to manage your time in other to
achieve good things in life, don’t procrastinate and don’t misuse
your time, time is precious.

SHORT AND LONG TERM PLANNING

As an achiever, you need to plan because any opportunity
without planning how to utilize will not be productive.
What is planning all about? Planning is a process of quickening
the pace of natural evolution by rational action. It has been
observed that Charles Darwin, the celebrated 19th Century
evolutionist made planning imperative by working waste
respectable, waste has never been respectable, it is ignorance that
makes it appear respectable planning is designed to realize waste.
Anyone desiring in making progress, fulfilling purpose and
winning the race of life, must take time to planned personally,
recommend planning for young folks, because they have future
ahead of them.
According to the Chambers English Dictionary, the word plan
means “a scheme for accomplishing a purpose and a purposed
method, a scheme drawn up before hardware”. Another
definition of planning means crafting your ideas on paper. It also
refers to placing of ideas in the right manner before they occur.

WHY SHOULD YOU PLAN?

1. It helps you to get organized, being organized means being
orderly and accurate in arrangement of things. Planning helps
you to put your idea on proper perspective.
2. It helps eliminate errors and slowness when you plan properly in
the execution of your assignments.
3. It helps create focus: Planning helps you keep proper focus on
your ideas, focus involved a committed concentration on your
goals and often lead to achievement.
4. It increase the potential for success, planning makes success
more realizable especially when proper effort is put into the plan.
5. Planning helps you troubleshoot as you solve problems in
advance.
6. It saves you time for every ten minutes spent in planning you are
90% of execution timer steps involved in planning.

VISION: Every plan start in the mind of someone, thus before

planning commences, you must conceive it in your mind, and you
must see the big picture of your plan for your career education,
family or vocation.

CRAFT: The vision on paper, having conceived your idea, you must
take on paper and biro and so a detached breakdown of various
steps required for the realization of your plan.
Ask yourself the following question and write the answers
beside each.
(a) Is this plan worthwhile and positive (never plan to do drugs,
prostitution, 418 or steal or unsapproate Government or
Company fund in other to become rich overnight).
(b) Will it add value to me and others?
(c) Will it bring progress, growth or development?
(d) What are the necessary steps required for my plan to be
accomplished?

Some steps include:

 Synopsis of the plan
 Details of the plan
 Research – equerry, asking questions consulting, preliminary
information gathering
 Detailed list of the people or human resources required
 Detailed budget (income and expenditure analysis of the plan i.e.
how do you hope to raised of it are the requires finding?
 Stages requires for the executing plan i.e. such stages could
include step 1 – 20.
 Take action – This is very crucial because after crafting your ideas
nothing moves until you make it move.
 Set a time limit to each plan when will it be accomplished?
 Evaluate your plans after execution and seek ways to improve
heet time.

WHAT SHOULD YOU PLAN FOR

Career Success – your attitude to work matters, so also your
saving, culture, knowledge base etc. If you plan to get a rouse in
your salary this year, or plan to get a promotion or find favour
before higher authority or grow your business, you must seek to
add value and map out a strategy.
Decide to be more dedicated, result – oriented, a term player,
more prayer and embrace excellence in your daily activities, God
will definitely favour you but you must first make solid effort on
your past.

Marital Success – The way you live your life as a single lady or a
guy matters – Decency and responsibility count a great deals your
physical appearance and character matter for the married. Your
attitude on your spouse, respect, love, fidelity, honesty etc should
be carefully lorheil on to ensure peace of mind and successful
realization of your plans.

Children’s Success – Your attitude to life peculiar lifestyles

provision for children’s future family planning it matters. You can
plan to raise godly and responsible children by being responsible
and a good role model they can emulate.

Intellectual Growth and Academic Success – This will involve

self-discipline, reading books, journal, browsing the internet for
information (not pornography), networking and sharing knowledge
from experts and peers etc.
There is a saying that said, “Opportunity comes but once” it
is advicable to plan well in any opportunity you found yourself,
whether school, companies, Government parastal, or in public
services, if you are able to plan well in any given opportunity that
means you are on the road to your destiny or success, it also mean
that you have designed a brighter future for yourself and generation
unborn.
According to Austin Phelpo (Publisher on Tribute Thursday 25
Jan. 2007) He say vigilance in watching opportunity, fast and daring
in seizing upon opportunity, force and persistence in crouching
opportunity to it utmost of possible achievement.
These are martial virtues which must command success.
Opportunities often goes around disguised itself that’s why so
many people fail to find it believe that God can turn obstacle into
opportunities that comes your way.
Anything you find yourself worthdoing, do it with zeal and
commitment, you don’t know who is interesting in what you are
doing it may be in your working place, school, or in your church,
don’t allow that God’s given opportunity to be unproductive. Strive
to yield a good fruit and be useful to the society.
Remember your destiny lies ahead of you, if you don’t plan
that is an indication that you are planning to fail. Even Jesus, the
Saviour of mankind talk about planning, He said no man embacks
on a building project without first counting the cost. Furthermore,
Joseph the governor of Egypt planned the resources of the
Egyptians nation by stiming 20% of the produce of the years of
boom that was which provided food for many nations during the
period of famine. As you take time out to plan, God will crown your
efforts in reaching your destiny.

THEORY OF DESTINY (2)

This theory specially not interested in describing
characteristics of the individual failures but it rather concern on the
role of an individual need to applied in his daily life to attained his
destiny. In other hand, destiny is an action which captivated the
mind to think positively in anything a successful and a healthy life in
future.
This theory also maintains that the major motivation of an
individual was his original self (self determination) and (self
realization) and that the factors which militate against an individual
attaining his goals include:
Lack of creative mind, his degree of relationship with God and
human on earth and lack of psychological visualization and
affirmation for change self-discipline.

 CHAPTER 5
OVERCOMING FAILURES

How do you handle failure? Do you feel depress when failure

comes your ways. Advance Learner Dictionary defines failure as lack
of success in doing or achieving something, failure could be
expressed in different way it could be business or academic failure.
Failure attribute to those that can’t be achieved or actualize in life.
These may be frustration, disappointment etc. Isaiah 65:24,
Micah 7:5-10, Ecclesiastes 12: 14, Deut. 20: 4.
Any calamity that befalls you in life or misfortunes you could
describes as failure it is the greatest enemies.

How can you overcome failure?

1. Through prayer
2. Reading and meditating the word of God
3. Proper planning

Many people believe that if they fail in life that means the end of
their life.

How can we face Academic Failure

Any failure in academic programme is a stepping stone to
success. As a student, you need to be studious, form a reading
group, exchange some ideas, do your assignment and submit it on
time, avoid procrastination, manage your time wisely. Always be in
class when lectures are going on, avoid bad companies, be
conscious of the friends you choose, show good example to others
and these would help you to overcome failure in your academic.

Handling Business Failure

To be a successful businessman you need to plan, you have to
apply these management functions propound by Gulich, it include
Planning Organizing, Staffing, Directing, Co-ordinating and
Budgeting (POSDCORB) without planning wastage would set in it
right result to business failure.
Practically saving and investment could be used to instigate
business failure, don’t allow the spirit of failure to dominate your
life; you were born to succeed, and not to fail.
Any accomplishment that is worthwhile is as a result of good
working, obedience to God brings success to us, don’t feel that your
are inferiority, always think positively.
“I am not concerned that you have fallen, I am
concerned that you arise” – Abraham Lineoln
 Life is never, always a comedy. At time it is a tragedy. Life is
experienced as a constant, never-ending shift between success and
failures – sometimes occurring within moments of another. To be
human is to fail.
In my own life, I dealt with hardship and failure, after the
death of my father, things became tough, I was unable to paid for
my final year school fee but I sum up courage, that I will actually
make it in life, and that will not be deceived by failure which it hand
writing in wall was fast approaching.
I attempted to engage myself in teaching I realized that I was
not out part it, I felt like I had failed, when I was young I tried to be
painted and was not successful, I later when into writing and was
able to excel, I write so many articles which was published in the
school magazine and national dallies, besides this fetch me some
money which I was able to paid for my final year school fee.
Despite all these trial life marched on and turned out positive,
I earned my first degree and I am successful writer and author of a
books.
Failure isn’t something to be avoided; it is a stepping stone on
the path way to success.
Having failure is a solid responsibility of a man, you must
experience set back in life, but the way you handle it determined
your success.
If you consider yourself a failure, you will be a failure and the
way to overcome this is to change the way you see yourself.

Applying Faith in Overcoming Failure

Having faith is very vital instrument in overcoming failure,
before I go further, let know, what faith is all about? Faith is a
spiritual exercise to affirm something that is not seen or touch but
allow your inner mind to accept it future occurrence.
Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing
that something is real even if we do not see it.
Trusting God with your life is not as easy as it sounds. Once
upon a time I had no idea what that even meant, I thought it was
enough to go to church sometimes and pray, even if I wasn’t sure
my prayers were being heard.
But putting total faith in God requires us to let go of what we
think we know and let him handle it.
Once we desire a spirit of truth, we trust that He will steer us
in the right direction according to his will. In faith, we know that
God’s will is the best way for us, even when we do not understand
it.
 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not learn on
your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him.
And He will make your path straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6).
I can look back at some negative situations in my life and see
good in them – God was refining me and building trust. At the time
they felt excruciating, but now I see the errors. When we don’t have
God at the center, the world competes for that spot, and that’s
when we become deceived. 1 Peter 5:7 tells us to cast our fear
upon the Lord because He cares for us. It requires faith to take
a situation to God – In all its ugliness and darkness – and by that
the fact of the cross, trusting fully that he will work to heals the
situation.
And, in these moments, our faith can grow it’s not comfortable
but transformation takes place. James 1: 2-8 tells us
Dear brothers and Sisters, when troubles comes your way,
consider it an opportunity for great joy, for you know that when
your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it
grow for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect
and complete, need nothing.

Overcoming Fear with Thanksgiving in erasing failure in life

Feeling thankful during a flash of fear sounds continuative, but
it is exactly what allows us to embrace the truth (God is in control)
grow in faith (I’m giving this to you, Lord please help) and remain
joyful in miserable moments (“Be anxious for nothing, but in
everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let
your requests be made known to God”. Philip.4:6).
In the past if I felt worried about something I would feel a
sense of dread the downward spiral would either take over or not…
and I wasn’t always sure which way that would go, or why.
Now when I feel tempted to worry I say a silent prayer in my
heart like this God please help me to have the mind of Christ right
now I need you.
God works in our lives and does miracles I have prayed about
situation and have seen God change the outcome – prayed for help
in time of tension and have seen God clear the air.
God is faithful and He wants the best for us when we trust
that, we do not need to fear evil.
“I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord,
plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you
hope and a future (Jeremiah 29: 11).
God offers the kind of healing that goes to the soul – it goes
straight through us into the darkest of the dark, for anyone who
ever dealt with fear, or anxiety you know how tormenting it can be
when it grabs hold. Without God in control, we are left vulnerable
for torments to grab a hold of us.
Let God be the one who grabs hold, I’m prying to change my
situation, and that fear should leave my life. True peace, true
courage comes from God. The Lord Jesus Christ died for us so that
we would be set free from the evil of the world. Nothing can win
against the one who conquered death heap in mind.
Psalm 56: 11 says: “In God I trust I will not be afraid
what can man do to me? For the spirit God gave us does not
make timid, but gives us power, love and self – discipline. 2
Timothy 1:7.
And if you’re still worried about tomorrow could bring,
“therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will
worry about itself. Each day has enough troubles of it own ”.
Matt. 6: 3-4.
Socrates one said, “that unexamined life is not worth living”
this holds true in both success and failure. When failure occurs,
which it always will, the wisest of us journey inward to determine
the cause and intentional steps we can take to learn from the
experience. And in time, we learn to champion humility if our pain is
partly a result of someone else’s failures, we find freedom in
forgiveness.
Nobody successfully navigates life alone, when the hope inside
us begins to fade; we hole for it in others. We turn to family, if
family is not available, we turn to friends, and if friends are not
available, we look for intentional communities around us to find
support.
It may not happen right away – some failures take danger to
process than others. But eventually, we find opportunity to share
our story when we do, we share it with honesty and humility
through it, we discover opportunity to provide hope strength, and
encouragement to others, we find influence for good and then begin
to make sense of our failings.
Failure is never the end; it is instead, a necessary port of the
journey. May we keep hope alive and final redemption through it.

Kenneth Udoumeh
 CHAPTER 6
AFFIRM THAT YOU CAN DO IT

WHAT IS AFFIRMATION? These are positive statements that

describe a desired situation which are often repeated, until they get
impressed on the subconscious mind.
This process, pushes the subconscious mind to take action and
to strive to make the positive statement come true.
When you know how to use affirmations you get a great tool
for achieving goal and success and for improving your life.
Most people conceive in their minds negative words and
statements concerning the situations and event in their lives and
consequently, create undesirable situations. Words work at both
ways to build and destroy; it is the way we use them that
determines whether there are going to bring good or harmful
results.
Your subconscious mind accepts as true what you keep saying.
It attracts corresponding events and situations into your life, so why
not choose only positive statements, inorder to get positive results?
Imagine that you are swimming with your friends in a
swimming pool, they swim fifteen rounds, something you have
never done before, and since you want to win their respect, you
want to show them that you can make it too, you start swimming,
and at the same time, keep repeating in your mind, “I can do it, I
can do it…” you keep thinking and believing that you are going to
complete the fifteen rounds.
What are you actually doing? You are repeating positive
affirmations.
In a different situation, you might find yourself repeating, “I
cannot do this”, “it too big for me”, it is not going to work out”, and
consequently, lose ambition, motivation and faith and actually bring
about what you said to yourself.
It would be a good idea to pay attention to the words you
repeat in your mind, to discover whether you are using negative
statement, such as
 I cannot do this
 I am too lazy
 I lack inner strength
 I am going to fail
 I cannot amount to the top
If you discover that these, or similar words run through your mind,
you should do something to change them.
 HOW DO AFFIRMATION WORK?
Some people say that, “affirmations don’t work” (which is an
affirmation itself) when what they mean is that thing they don’t
know how to use them correctly, they may say “my prosperity is
growing” but then think oh this stupid, I know it won’t work, which
affirmation do you think will work out? The negative one, of course,
because it’s part of a long standing habitual way of looking at life.
Sometimes people will say their affirmation once a day and
complain the rest of the time, it will take a long time for affirmations
to work if they’re done that way, the complaining affirmations will
always win, because there are more of them and they’re usually said
with great feeling. However, saying affirmations is only part of the
process what do the rest of the day and night is even more
important, the secret to having your affirmations work quickly and
consistently is to prepare an atmosphere for them to grow in.
Affirmations are like seeds planted in soil. Poor soil, poor
growth, rich soil, abundant growth, the more you choose to think
thought that make you feel good, the quicker the affirmations work
so think happy thoughts, it’s that simple and it is double, the way
you choose to think, right now, is just that a chance you may not
realize it because you’re thought this way for so long but it really is
a choice. Now… today… this moment… you can choose to change
your thinking.
Your life won’t turn around overnight but if you’re consistent
and make the choice on a daily basis to think thoughts that make
you feel good, you’ll definitely make positive changes in every area
of your life.
I wake up each morning with blessing and gratitude for the
wonderful life. I lead and make the choice to think happy thoughts
no matter what others are doing.
No I don’t do this 100 percent of the time but I am up to about
75 or 80 percent right now, and it’s made a big difference in how
much I enjoy life and how much good just seems to flow into my
everyday world. The only moment you ever live in is this moment
it’s the only time you have any control over “yesterday is history,
tomorrow is a mystery today is a gift which we call it the present ”.
My teacher, Dr Albert repeats this in every class he teaches, if you
don’t choose to feel good in this moments that are abundant and
fun?
Once you’ve done your affirmations then it’s time to release
them and let them go. You’ve decided what you want. You’ve
affirmed them in both thought and word. Now you must release
then to the universe so that the laws of life can bring them to you.
 Affirmation and the law of Attraction if you worry and fret
about how your affirmations will come true. You’re just delaying and
whole process. It’s not your job to figure out how to bring your
affirmations to fraction. The way laws of attraction work you declare
that you have something and then the universe brings it to you, the
universe is far more clever than you are and knows every possible
way to make your affirmations come true.
The only reason for delay and for seemingly denying you is
that there’s part of you that doesn’t believe that you deserve it or
perhaps, your beliefs are so strong that they overpower your
affirmations.
If you’re declaring, “my income is increasing”, and it isn’t then
perhaps you have old deep seated beliefs that you don’t deserve to
prosper or maybe your family had strong negative beliefs about
money, and there’s a part of you that still accepts those beliefs. As
little children we’re so obedient that we’re willing to accept our
parents’ beliefs about life and continue to operate under them for
the rest of our lives… until we choose to really look at those beliefs
and examine them.
Your mother or father may have constantly said, “Oh money is
hard to come by”, now without even knowing it you still have that
belief in your own consciousness, if you believe that then the
universe can’t bring you more income until you release that thought.
I often ask people to look at what their family’s beliefs were about
various subjects.
If prosperity is your issue, then take out a large sheet of paper
and write down things your family said about money when you were
a child if you find any negative statements (remember there were
all affirmations for your family members) then your job is to turn
those negative beliefs into positive affirmations, free yourself form
the tyranny of your parent negatives affirmations and you will open
yourself to the abundant flow of good in every area of your life.
After knowing that affirmation is faith and having positive
message in your mind, you can handle your problems and move
toward your destiny. The bible says, “I can do all things through
Christ who strengthen me”.
You can find a job, you can change careers, you can change
your statute, and you can become whatever you desire if you affirm.
Every human being is born with one gift from God, the
privilege of deserving to succeed, people aren’t higher up the ladder
than you are because they are more favoured by God, you are as
good as they are because they are more favoured by God you don’t
think so then that yours problem if so I hope lean help you with it,
you must affirm it.
 I deserve my destiny and I have the ability to reach my
destiny every one has within himself tasted innate ability it probably
need to be hored educated trained and refined but it can be done.
If you doubt your abilities, I can show you people who have
learned to believe in limited ability enough to succeed for more than
expert say they should.
A blind person who become a lecturer in a high school was
able to lecture the student well, he was able to operate on computer
that was given to him, they say that in every disability there is
ability that young man was able to prove to the world that he make
it, when he affirm it people fail to believe in his ability.
Utilize what God has given you; let people be motivated with
what God has bestowed on you by raising it out.
Determination, Zeal and Hardwork are the key to secure
destiny, affirmation is the attribute of positive thinking whereby
most people don’t believe in their potentiality. God has really
deposited something into you but you refused to develop it.
The way you believe in yourself is the way will be. It is always
said, “the me I see is the me I will be” your destiny depends on your
enthusiasm; it lies on your determination, zeal and hardwork.
Begin to think big and work toward it, don’t think negatively
besides negative thinking brings negative result while positive
thinking brings positive results.
God has created you in a unique way to achieve great things,
you can become president of your nation, or an international
business mogul if you affirm it.
Hardwork determine your affirmation of reaching your destiny,
you can’t fold your arm and wait for manna to come from down
from heaven. It needs hardwork for you to achieve your dream.
Besides, your affirmation may be that you want to succeeds in
your business, academic career, it is through affirmation and
hardwork that will work for you.
Involve yourself in this affirmation methodology and unlock
your destiny

3. Try to envision your potentiality
4. Make a step in doing what you have affirm

step in reaching your destiny.
DESTINY MAY BE

Kenneth Udoumeh
 CHAPTER 8
HOPE IN GOD

Believe that somehow, somewhere, through someone’s help

you can reach your destiny. Did you know that you are a person of
destiny? Psalm 138: 8 says that God will fulfill his purpose. He
created you for a purpose and He has a destiny that only you can
fulfill that is exciting.
The word destiny means consecrated and devoted, destined,
moving toward a goal has I previously discuss in chapter one. You
have been consecrated and set apart for God’s purpose. You have a
destination to reach. The Apostle Paul understood destiny. He said,
“I am going to run the race that God has set before me”. At
the end of his life, he said, “I have finished my race”. He had the
satisfaction that he had fulfilled his God-given destiny. Each one of
us can experience that same satisfaction (Philippians 3:12).
Romans 8:28 in the Amplified Bible says “we are assured
and know that all things work together and are (fitting into a
plan) for good, to and for those who love God and are called
according to [His] design and purpose. God actually designed
your destiny, your life is fitting into a plan and it’s a good plan, it ’s
God’s plan.
This word is important in your life “AFFIRMATION” believe
and trust in God you can make it happen.
God is willing to take you to your dream land called “destiny”
if you will like to partner with him in this journey.
The secret to your success is in your daily routine, examine
yourself today, find out if what you are doing is giving you joy, if
yes then proceed in developing it to a greater perspective always
put God first in everything you do and acknowledge God for his
good works in your life.
Hope means when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all.
At long as matters are really hopeful, hope is mere flattery or
platitude; it is only when everything is hopeless that hope begin to
be a strength.
Some people fail to realize how discouragement, dryness and
frustration are related to a faulty sense of hope. A person who
hopes in God cannot be overwhelmed by hurts from people because
they are not looking to people for their source of satisfaction. The
Lord never leaves us, forsakes us or fails us.
Paul teaches us how to overcome feelings of tiredness,
sadness or hopelessness when he writes, “for in this hope we
were saved… but if we have hope for what is still unseen by
us, we wait for it with patience and composure (Rom.8:24,
25)
No doubt Paul thought of what David wrote when he was tried
and troubled, “why are you downcast, O my soul, why so
disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet
praise Him my Saviour and my God. (Psalm 42:11) when our
hope is totally in the Lord we are not disturbed when things do not
go our way.
He is our Rock and Constant Spring of living water supply us
with everything we need. Paul and David abounded in hope despite
their many trials, attacks and troubles.
These men were not like some of us that quickly give into
discouragement when faced with adversity. Hope is built upon a
confident faith that the spirit will help us look towards better things
to come. It visualizes all the good that can be appropriated to our
life through Christ.
Hope in God helps us base our expectation on all the
characteristics of God instead of our circumstances of feelings. Ask
the Lord to help you increase the quality and quantity of your hope
as you praise Him for His wonderful attributes.
People who hope in God has the confident expectation that
regardless of what happens. He will supply them with adequate
supplies of emotional, mental and spiritual blessings.
Remember the song, “Heaven and earth may pass away
but Jesus never fails”.
When life is going well for you, it’s easy to feel hopeful, but
when this fallen world brings trouble in to your life feelings of
hopelessness can come in too. Thankfully, the hope that God offers
is much more than a feeling. It’s the reality of His presence with
you. You can experience that hope in any situation even if your
health fails, you lose your job, your spouse leave or some other
tragedy hits you, here’s is how to find hope in reaching your
destiny.

 Stop simply Surviving and Start thriving

Don’t let difficult circumstance stop you from making the most of
each day you’re alive. Realize that even when times are though in
reaching your destiny, you can do much more than just endure your
current situation. You can actually enjoy life to the fullest even in
the middle of the worst circumstances when you remember that life
is a gift from God and decide to embrace it. Ask God to help you to
notice His presence with you in every situation, and rejoice when
you sense Him nearby. Pray for Holy Spirit to renew your mind each
day so you can have the positive attitudes you need to thrive in
reaching your destiny in life no matter what is going on in your life.

 Choose to trust
When something bad happen in your life, don’t respond by
arguing with God or rebelling against Him. Instead, trust God to
keep His promise to us all circumstances including the bad ones – to
accomplish good purposes in your life.
Remember that God is perfect, so He can’t make any mistakes
and whatever He chooses to do is for a good purpose. If He has
allowed something difficult to happen to you there’s a reason

 Learn and grow from your struggles

God allows you to experience challenging circumstances so you
can learn to love and trust Him in deeper ways, and so you can
grow more mature, developing a strong character to become more
like Jesus, keep in mind that God is more interested in your lasting
holiness than your temporary happiness, because holiness will help
you learn to choose what’s best for you. Ask God to help you see
your struggles from His perspective. Let your struggles teach you
whatever God wants you to learn from them. As you deals with the
difficulties in your life in reaching your destiny, stay focused on
what matters most – eternal values – so you can grow into a
stronger person in the process of reaching your destiny.

 Resist temptations to sin

Don’t turn to sinful behaviours to try to escape the pain of the
tough circumstances you experience; doing so will only make your
pain worse. Instead, pray for the strength you need to resist
temptation, and pour out your feelings to God. God will respond by
giving you comfort that you can’t find from any other source.

 Attract others to faith as they watch you

Other people are watching you as you deal with difficult
situations in reaching your destiny. If you respond by being faithful
to Jesus, they’ll be drawn to Him themselves because you’ll show
them what real faith in action looks like, and that’s attractive. So
rather than complaining about your struggles or compromising your
values as you try to deal with them, invite Jesus to shine His light
through your life, and repeat His character qualities so other people
can see how a relationship with Him can help them when they face
their own struggles.
 What God wants for you
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that God doesn’t care about
you if He doesn’t give you whatever you ask Him for. Realize that
God loves you so much that He gives you what you need, even
when it’s not what you want. Keep in mind that because of your
limited perspective on life compared to God’s unlimited perspective,
sometimes you ask God for something that seems good but can
actually harm you. Trust in the fact that God knows what you need
to have the life that brings you the greatest good. Ask God to bring
your desires in line with His will for you.

 Overcome fear
No matter what kind of situation you may find yourself facing in
reaching your destiny, don’t be afraid because God will always be
with you and have your best interests in mind since He loves you
whenever feelings of fear creep into your life turn to God for the
help you need to overcome them and successfully navigate your
circumstances whenever you sense God. God calling you to do
something that require taking a risk move forward without fear
because God will empower you to do whatever He calls you to do.

 Keep heaven in mind

Remember all that awaits you in heaven at the end of your life
here on earth. Let the anticipation of the wonderful experiences
you’ll have in heaven motivate you to meet your current challenges
with the hope, which will lead to the strength you’ll need to get
through any situation, As you think about heaven, focus you mind
on what truly matters and let distractions go so you can live to the
fullest right now.

 Don’t give up
Whenever your sense of hope starts running out ask God to
renew you with fresh close of hope so you can continue to faithfully
deal with the difficult situations that come your way. Be confident
that at the right time, God will reward your faithfulness if you don ’t
give up your faith in the middle of challenging circumstances. Count
on God to give you more hope whenever you ask Him for it.
