ENDORSEMENT

The quest for destiny has been humankind’s pursuit ever since we came to consciousness. Questions like: Who am I? Why am I here? Why do I dream? What is it like to die? Have found expression in culture, identity, faith, music, poetry, mythology, and politics. In this book, Stephen has embarked on a feat to tame this ancient dragon – and boy he has been successful!

This book sheds light through spiritual insights from the holy writ. The Winning Life can be best described as a beautiful tapestry, woven with threads of nutrients for the spirit, soul and body of its readers.

Stephen is truly an educator and preacher. He has used this platform to showcase his bible knowledge and depth of understanding, but most importantly, his ability to articulate himself with finesse, reminiscent to Mohammed Ali in his heyday.

A prolific writer has emerged, and I pray that this will be his first of many books. So, read, enjoy, be inspired; and join him in leading a Winning Life!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Every great and worthwhile endeavour is always made possible by wise counsel. I have been able to draw and glean from the many teachers, admirers, mentors as well as my exposure to the source of all Life distilled in the Bible, the Holy Scriptures over the last two decades. The truths contained in it have been my driving force and motivation over the years and this has been made possible only by the grace of God.

I am eternally grateful to the fathers and forerunners of the Christian faith whose lives and example have been key in putting this work together. Also I would like to acknowledge all the people whose time, effort and encouragement have helped turned the dream into a published reality.

A special appreciation and a heartfelt thank you to all my partners and friends in the ministry of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. May our God add colour to your destiny.

INTRODUCTION

Why you are here

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I sanctified (set you apart) you I ordained (appointed) you a Prophet to the nations Emphasis added

Jeremiah 1:5

Purpose is the master of motivation and the mother of commitment

– Dr Myles Munroe

There will never be another version of you. There can never be another you. God specifically and purposefully designed and created you for your specific assignment and purpose. You are special and unique. That was how God planned it, for you to stand up and stand out for Him. You are the creation of the Creator and you existed in God before you were born. When you showed up on the planet called Earth, His desire is that you live a winning life on all fronts. In doing that you are drumming for God your maker. You are a masterpiece, complete for your assignment. Suffice to say there is no duplicate or forgery of you. There is a specific life that was mapped out for you, there are places that have been pre-planned for you to go, a people you have been called to empower; and a people that have been called to help you. You alone fit your assignment and life’s work perfectly and no one else can fulfil your assignment for you.

It has been said that our future is hidden in our past, hence God has never required of you what He has not designed and built into you already. The task is to search it out, discover it and maximise its use to serve mankind and magnify Him. Long ago the Psalmist asked, What is man? This is a fair question. An ancient Greek aphorism said Know thyself. In sincerity all you have is you. It is thus important that you know who you are, why you are and how you can live a purposeful life.
