PREFACE

The place of skull is known as Golgotha in Hebrew and Calvary in Greek. A place that looks like a human skull with an eye when sighted from afar in the dark. That horrible site was where Jesus was crucified. A large crowd followed Him there. Many came to watch, somewhere just passing by and stopped. They did not know why they were there. They don’t know who’s on the cross. Why He was there they have no clue. So the devil took advantage of their ignorance and abused their use. And that is what he's still doing till today. The earth is full of skulls.

At Golgotha you have this sight of ugly skulls, skulls of abandoned and unburied victims who became prey to birds and beasts. Wherever you see a sign of skull it means death. The head is a symbol of destiny and the skull is a symbol of dead destiny. Golgotha is a place of great suffering, a place of doom, the abode of the dead, a bone yard, a place which has death as its' default and a sepulcher. A place where destinies are caged, wasted, destroyed, buried and replaced. 'I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth' (Ecc.10:7). It is truly a place of skull.

At the same Golgotha the place of skull, we had Simon from Cyrene, an African and father of Alexander and Rufus. The women from Galilee, among which where Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jesus, Salome, Mary the mother of Zebedee’s children and Mary the wife of Cleophas. The honorable counselor Joseph from Arimathea was also there. The centurion was there too. We had Nicodemus the Pharisee who came to Jesus by night. The disciple whom Jesus loved, John, was also there.

Those were people who knew why they were on earth. They were not wasted at the market square of life, but were successful and fulfilled because they knew and lived the purpose why they were on earth the place of skull. To see the full details of the roles they played, watch out for my book The New Covenant Passover Misnamed Easter.

DEDICATION

I dedicate this book to God as an appreciation for all He has done for me.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Thanks to God of all creations who delights in making a-nobody a-somebody. And to all who has impacted my life meaningfully.

THE DISAPPROVAL

The first person I had in mind to forward this book was a zonal headquarter pastor of a big international ministry. I told God I want to know if he’s the right person.

In my dream I saw myself at the front door of a passage. And as I walked through, I saw the back door very far away. It was a very long walk-way. And I walked through it. But before I could get to the back door, I saw at my left hand side another door close to it. And at the same left side of that door was a table full of books. By the hind side of the table was the pastor standing and facing me, and immediately it registered in my mind, that was his office.

As he focused on me, he asked, why haven’t you barb your hair? I told him God has not said so. And when I will lift my head, I saw on his both ears two big earrings. And I was worried within me until the dream went off.

It was told to me the hair he wished should have been cleared off was my glory (1Cor.11:4-7). And the two earrings on his ears means he’s a bond servant of the other kingdom (Exo.21:5-6). He was disqualified by God.

CHAPTER 1

Why you must fulfil your Destiny

To be Relevant and make Heaven

God made us uniquely different treasures with the purpose of deriving the pleasures He do not only need but also deserves. ‘...all things were created by Him, and for Him’ (Col. 1:16). You were created by God and for God, because He built you, He paid for you, and He lives in you. 'What! Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.' (1Cor.6:19-20). He's part of you and you're part of Him. Like every good parents, His joy is to see His children prosper. He wants His name glorified through His children.

Some still believe we all came from an amoeba. Their research is still incomplete because they've not told us where the amoeba came from! Nothing is as deadly as incomplete information. Incomplete knowledge is deadlier than ignorance. It is better you're not aware at all, than know it in part and live by it. Why allow the devil to finish you so cheaply! If you believe no two persons are the same and every design has its own uniqueness, then, why are you contradicting yourselves by saying we have no designer? On this earth the place of skull the devil is ready to win you at all cost, losing is not part of his plan. Very few will find their way back to God. The earlier you wake up the better! If you're a design, then you don't need anyone to tell you you have a designer. For every creation, there's a creator. God made us all unique to accomplish a specific purpose. The devil has no right to deny any man his God-given destiny, except he allows him. And once he gets his way, he distracts, delays and destroys the handwork of God by using him to accomplish a different purpose. All he does is make nonsense out of every sense of God, making counterfeit out of every original of God, all with the aim of destroying His kingdom.

Everything created by God and man has its own function and once any of them stop functioning it is packed aside. Death is not only when your physical life is lost, but also when you're not carrying out the function you were created for. You become irrelevant to God and useless to yourself if you don’t fulfil your purpose on earth. It is one thing to have a dream and another thing to have a life. To dream is to exist, to live is a dream come through. The devil knows once you discover who you are he has lost it, because your use as a tool will no longer be abused. When the devil leaves and God comes in, you will now be used specifically for the purpose you were created for, both on earth and in heaven. It does not matter who you are, what matters to the devil is you not becoming what God intended.

Before Adam became a farmer he was a gardener. Look very closely between farming and gardening, you will discover the difference is not that much. One is fake the other is original. There’s little or no difference between what God has for you and what the devil has for you, but one is fake and the other is original. Before farming, there has been gardening. Before fake, original has been. God has first made you original before the devil made you a fake. He successfully made a fake of every God’s original after man fell at the Garden of Eden. Fake don’t last forever, but original do. Fulfill God’s will and last forever.

Jesus said, The servant abideth not in the house forever. For you to abide forever in the kingdom of God, you have to be the son he has made you from the beginning, before the devil made you a servant. He continued by saying If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. Only the Son can punish and set the servant free just as the Father. Only Jesus can set you free. And if He sets you free, you’re free indeed. If you're still not convinced, by book 'The New Covenant Passover Misnamed Easter' has taken care of that.

It was one hundred and one percent certain that the Children of Israel would get to the Promise Land, because they journeyed with the prophetic bones of Joseph which God gave them as a witness of His involvement in their journey. (Gen.24:25, Exo.13:19, Heb.11:22). The journey of the Israelites from the land of Egypt to the Promise land was one of the greatest Exodus ever recorded. It was historic and purposeful. You can't wait for my book, 'The New Covenant Passover Misnamed Easter' to be out. And if you wish to get to your promise land too, you must carry what God has chosen to use for your uplift.

To be successful and fulfilled the only option you have is to travel on this journey of life with the destiny God has given you. When your destiny comes alive, it's a witness you have Christ and God is with you. The devil can make you a successful pastor, chorister, teacher etc., but to God you’re a failure, because that is definitely not His will for your life. The devil will not make you what God wants. It does not matter who you become or how successful you are, what matters to the devil is you not becoming what God destined you.

Everything the devil gives you is just to distract and cage you down, so he can accomplish his mission. He will still take back what belongs to him, if not more, through one means or the other after he is finally done with you. His mission is to destroy God’s kingdom by all means no matter what it will take, before his final judgment. There’s no time to waste, he’s going about like a roaring lion looking for whom he may devour. (1Pet.5:8). He is in the church stealing, killing and destroying by all means. Disorganizing and placing people in positions they were not destined for. He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the church; to him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God(Rev.2:7) ‘...and live forever’(Gen.3:22).

When the devil tried to use one of the disciples to stop Jesus from going to the cross, His response was get thee behind me, Satan. Just as the devil had no right to stop Jesus, so also he has no right to deny you your God-given destiny, because it is also the will of God, and must be done! 'The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.' (Rom.11:29 NKJV). Know your right in Christ, the earlier the better!

Any destiny that does not give glory to God is not of God. That should be your first reason for living, every other thing can come next. Regardless of what you’re pursuing, your supreme goal should be to please God. What God has destined you, He has destined you forever. Anything God gives you, He gives you forever. He doesn’t take back like the devil does. If you lost it, you threw it away with your own hands. God don’t change, we are the ones who change.

If you’re not productive with the one talent He has given you, you might end up losing it to somebody else who might have made ten pounds from just one talent you were given, Who He would have also blessed and given authority over ten cities. Did you say but he already gained ten pounds? Occupy till I come, that’s what He said (Luke 19:11-27; Matt.25:14-30)

One day an ox said to a mule, 'Let's pretend to be sick.' The mule said, 'No, we need to get this work done.' The ox feigned illness, and the farmer brought him fresh hay. When the mule came in from the ploughing, the ox asked how things went and the mule said, 'All right.' The ox asked, 'What did the farmer say about me?' The mule replied, 'Nothing.' The next day the ox pretended to be ill again. When the mule came home the ox asked, 'Did the farmer say anything?' The mule replied, 'Well, he said nothing to me personally, but he stopped and had a long talk with the butcher!

On your way to this earth, the place of skull, God gave you an assignment, a destiny, a shoe, a cross that is greater than you. God created you great, the devil made you small. That shoe you think is too big for you is the actual size of your feet. You're expected to grow into it and become who God originally made you through the help of His Son. That is the only way you can get yourself back to Him. But if you decide to remain who the devil has made you, then he will lead you like a fat chicken to the slaughter. You're a failure when you're lesser than what God wants you to be.

When Jesus said a man's enemy is that of his household, He is saying what will kill you is not far away but lying low within you. Every untapped resources in man will turn his volcanoes. So, every unfulfilled destiny is a time bomb waiting to explode. Your inner man is gasping for air. Ignore your internal wellbeing and die soon. 'One of the greatest tragedies in life is to get wise too late.

'...Many people spend their lives teaching a crab to work strait instead of doing what God wants them to do'.-Dr. D. K. Olukoya. It would have been better you were not born than you not fulfilling your God-given destiny. Man fell in the beginning because he didn't do what his Creator told him to do and many are still falling today by not fulfilling their God-given destiny. It has been said that, 'Everything that God created does what they are created to do except man; the sun still rises every morning, the moon and the stars still in the sky, the trees and plants still grow as they are supposed to grow, it was man who disobeyed'.

Luke 23:21, 24, 26, 28-31, '...they cried, saying, crucify Him. And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. And as they led Him away ...there followed Him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented Him. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For, behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bear, and the paps which never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, fall on us; and to the hills, and cover us. For if they do this things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

It takes only the grace of God to unravel the mysteries in the above passages. As far as I'm concerned, after the redemption passages the ones we just read are the most important passages in the Bible. What Jesus was trying to tell us there was not to forget the reason why we're here. It was His last sermon, that's to tell you how important it was. For Him to have reserved that message for the end, it is really the best of all His sermons, because only the best are save for the last, according to one of my old-school singers. When He was saying, the womb that never bare, the paps which never gave suck and the green tree, what He was hammering on was destiny fulfillment.

Jesus already knew that some who claimed to be His
