The Pursuit of Destiny - Osita Eze
AUTHOR
DEDICATION
THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED to all young men and women who have a strong desire to discover and maximize their destinies. You are indeed the icons of hope for the next generation. I believe in your dreams.
PREFACE
THIS IS MY FIFTEENTH year of pursuing the fulfilment of my destiny and I have stumbled upon a few principles which I intend to pass on to the younger generation.
The journey to writing this book began several years ago when one of my students asked me to explain how an individual can discover God’s plan for his or her life. I answered the question as best as I can but I knew within me that there is more to be known or said about the discovery and maximization of destiny. I prayed to God to teach me all that I needed to know about His plans for my life. I also invested time to meditate on God’s word. I realized the following:
(1). The Bible teaches that God has planned a wonderful life for every person and that you have a responsibility to discover and live it. You must do your part day by day by taking positive, God-pleasing steps and God will surely reveal His plans for you.
(2). Destiny is the sum total of all the good works you have been predestined by God to carry out in your life-time on earth (2 Timothy 1:9). It is your God-given course of life, with all its challenges, accomplishments and hopes. It is the life God foresaw in you before you were born and deployed to the earth (Jeremiah 1:5, Colossians 4:17).
(3). Achieving your destiny is a process. It requires the determination to remain on the course that God has set before you irrespective of what you are going through at the moment. Staying on your destiny course is the greatest key to living a life of impact and eternity with God.
This book contains vital lessons I have learnt since the discovery and pursuit of my destiny. It is written to teach you specific principles you must practise daily to accomplish all that God had created you to accomplish. I believe God will use it to help you discover and get to that destiny of God-foreseen purpose and fulfillment if you adhere diligently and faithfully to the words therein.
CHAPTER ONE: Discover And Develop Yourself
FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10)
God has created you and had equipped you with the basic resources you will ever need to succeed in life. No one has ever succeeded and none will ever succeed in life without discovering who God had predestined him to be.
Self-discovery can be defined as the deliberate and continuous act of finding out more about yourself-who you are now (your personality traits, talents and passions) and who you are capable of becoming tomorrow. It is the act of discovering what you are good at and deploying them in the area of service where they are needed. It is the act of identifying the problems you were created to solve for the benefits of mankind and solving them. It is a vital part of human development.
How To Discover Yourself
There are three main ways of discovering who you are. They include the following:
1. Personal Interest: What you love and are passionate about are often pointers to the career or ministry that God wants you to pursue. They often reveal who you are and what God wants you to be and do.
When you discover a career or ministry that fits perfectly with your identified skills, talents and passions, pursue it. It will bring you satisfaction and fulfillment in life.
2. Counsel: Sometimes, God positions people such as your parents, counsellors at school, Christian leaders and friends into your life to show you a clearer picture of what you ought to know about yourself and your future.
There is an aspect of your life which only you know about and there is another aspect of your life which you do not know. Only those whom God has placed in your life to watch over you know it. Since they are more experienced than you are, they will be more qualified to give you sound counsel which would help you in discovering yourself (See 2 Timothy 1:5-6).
3. God: God knows you. He created you for a reason. To know His purpose for creating you, you need to
