CHAPTER ONE: DESTINY PRICETAG

---

Let’s begin with a word of prayer.

Witchcraft traders negotiating my destiny, scatter, in the name of Jesus.

Witchcraft tag placed on my destiny, be shattered to pieces, in the name of Jesus.

Marine powers profiting over my calling and destiny, die, in the name of Jesus.

If you have sincerely uttered these prayers in the name that is above every other name, then be sure of your emancipation and liberation before God.

Destiny is an inevitable aspect of the human life.  It is a coined word from an Old French word ‘destinee’ meaning predetermined, fate, preordained, doom, foreordain, decided, prearranged.

Destiny is one’s preordained future.  It is predetermined by series of events that happened or will happen in somebody’s life.

Destiny is the blueprint of God for an individual’s life.  It is synonymous with footprint, fingerprint and other forensic evidence of an individual which distinguishes him from others.

Destiny is the manufacturer’s manual of a product.  Most products comes with a manual (the blue print) which guides the user on the product.  The manual tells of the manufacturing date, the expiring date, the weight the product can accommodate in terms of volume and quantity.  The manual will state the likely hindrances to its proper functioning, as well as, production capacity of the product.  It also shows the terms and conditions of guarantee, and likely uses to which the company will not be liable.

Destiny is one’s inner realizable purpose of life.  This simply means no one is created by accident but for a purpose; There is an inner programmed and realizable purpose to be accomplished before leaving earth’s surface.

Destiny is the precious cornerstone, the sure foundation, tried and refined. It is God’s deposit in an individual.

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily. (Isa 28:16).

The destiny of every individual is precious and sacred before God; hence the devil fights severely to ruin every blissful destiny.  Joseph suffered greatly in the hands of his brothers owing to his glorious destiny.

Just as there is no smoke without fire, no gold without refinement, so is no colourful destiny devoid of oppositions.  The brighter the destiny (glory) embedded in you the greater the level of fire you are to pass through before shining.  The level of acetylene required to bend and cut an iron ore is proportional to the thickness of the iron.  The amount of battle required to bring out your destiny is proportional to your worth.  David was cut out for greatness hence Mighty Goliath did not pose a threat to him.  There is a high level of proportionality existing between your troubles and the quality of your destiny (destiny - trouble proportionality ratio).

By the calculation of heaven, once you come into this world a comprehensive record of your activities are taken, it goes before you to your Maker stating the level of your accomplishment.  If the inner expectation is not fulfilled by the report of your existence on earth, it is therefore a deficit to your Maker.  The Scripture in Luke 19:42 says, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

Destiny has been defined as a predetermined event.  That is, an event proposed and predetermined by heaven to take place during one’s existence.

The word destiny is synonymous with way (Acts9:2), path, road, highway.  It can equally be qualified with words like distance, journey, manner, conduct etc.

There is a hidden gem in you that the world at large is waiting to witness while the devil is waiting to tarnish.  You must also realize that destinies are tied to yours, hence if you succeed or fail you will either be blessing several lives or ruining many.  Excuses and complains of the troubles from the enemy around you or circumstances of your birth and place of existence or condition of the law of the land will not be tenable for disappointing the destinies attached to yours.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. (Rom 8:18-19)

Destiny is an outstanding thing embedded in you if well discovered and refined will make such life to be worthy of appreciation.  That is what makes a destiny to be so precious to both the physical and spiritual world. 

The uniqueness of destiny makes it to command certain price in the spiritual world.  The devil and his co-horts  - star gazers, palm readers, sand pressers etc. have their ways of ascertaining the worth of a destiny.  They are also specialist in cutting short the life span of destinies.  Biblically, God desires His children to live above a hundred years. (Isa65:20).

"No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days; For the child shall die one hundred years old, But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.

What then is price tag?

Price tag is the label indicating the cost price of an item.

The originality of gold is determined by its value and cost.  The glittering surface may be deceptive in evaluating the genuine quality of the gold.  This is also applicable to destiny.

The invisible stealers of destiny conclude transaction processes at the abattoir without seeing the items (destiny owner).

Aggressively take this prayer.  Any personality negotiating my destiny in the black market, die, in the name of Jesus.

To the destiny negotiator, the level of education, social status, height, beauty, spoken language, marital
