Ten years ago today, I sat down at my office and took a stock of my life.

I didn’t like the direction my life was going
Poverty had a chokehold on me

I began to fret, because I was just a few years away from turning forty and all the potentials I had shown since childhood had refused to bear fruit in my adulthood

I had given birth to my children in poverty
They were attending the cheapest school I could find

I had a job that could best be described as that of a glorified messenger
I had a degree that had not brought me any profit

My life was a hard and unpleasant one
Added to that I developed a mysterious illness and the doctors told me I had six months to live

I was a pastor, a born again Christian and I was living that “It shall get better in the by and by” life

I turned to the Lord and I had a conversation with him
When Lord will Jacob become Israel?
When Lord will potential turn to manifestation?

The Lord said “I told you your destiny in 2007, you chose to live like others and not as I have ordained you to live.
Hence, this battered life

There is a space for you, preserved for you in destiny, if you will embrace it.

I said “I am ready Lord, what do I do?”

He told me simple things…

Read that Bible daily for two hours
Pray in the Spirit daily for two hours
Start praying for people and nations as an intercessor
Stop complaining and start appropriating my blessings to your destiny

I obeyed.

Today is the ten years anniversary of my freedom from rebellion
I embraced obedience and the course of my life changed forever

It is not too late to do the same.
There is a destiny for you in Christ, it is not difficult to fulfil but you must be willing to trust and obey.

Happy Birthday, GSW!
