You Are Born to Win

By Nhlakanipho Tsakane Siyanda Sikobi

I comprehend, that my life was preordained by God, long before, He set the entire universe in order. My journey, failures, challenges, ordeals, catastrophes, trials, tribulations, prison circumstances, and including my "HIV Status, which have made me … "and also influenced me to realized, that there are no limits which can hinder me from reaching my God given destiny - unless I place those limitations upon myself!" Remember, the choices that you make today – "will determine, who, or what, you will become tomorrow: You are the product of your thoughts life, and mind-set. Thomas Edison asserted "Many of life's failures are people who did not realized how close they were to success when they gave up."

Nhlakanipho Tsakane Siyanda Sikobi, however, he had spent many awkward years on the street - sleeping out in the cold freezing weather without blankets, he was also imprisoned on numerous occasions. Nevertheless, he'd never stopped seeking his "Dream, Purpose, Identity and Destiny through God's Word" - regardless of the "ordeals, facing him daily in prison, like the conditions he was experiencing in his dark prison cell. However; God shone His "Light" upon his life, and the zeal to transform and discover his "Dream and Purpose" was born. He's absolutely convinced that "Winners" were not intended to be like Springbuck, but are rather similar to a chameleon, they can change their colour at any time to blend in with their environment. "What I believe is, they are created with perseverance - and they walk slowly towards their destiny. Chameleon understands that, to persevere is a sign of "Victory, - No matter what, they will never change their desire, instinct and determination. Success is not for people who runs swiftly like the Springbuck, but success, it is for those who 'imitate the "chameleon' - and never worry about how long the journey to success will take. They are determined and optimistic to reach their Destiny. "If your determination and potential to excel is strong enough, then Failure, will not defeat the enthusiasm for success within you, nor the power to discover your core purpose in life. I am absolutely certain that failure will uplift you to a better place than yesterday. Genuine success is made out through life's failures and challenges. It is not made up through successful activities. Failure is the only door opening up to greener pastures.

PREFACE

You are about to have an extraordinary experience through this book. Now it is time to shape and transform your mind into positive thinking. Some people think it is impossible, and it is not achievable to get better results when you think positive. Let me assure you, a change mindset will surely acquire better results. In my journey experiencing vicissitudes, others were good, and others were bad. One of the greatest predicaments, I have gone through which was limiting me to reach my destiny. Living around with people who does not see you the way you see yourself, was of the biggest problematic issues, that I’ve went through. I have associated myself with various people of different diverse cultures, beliefs, religion, race, nationalism, age groups, gander, and different linguistic people demarcating themselves" to reach their God given destiny.

I as the author of this book, I have been in the street for a period of years. Prison was like a place of vacation to me. I had no dream and no purpose; I’d never visualize myself living my dream life. I had never thought anything good about my life. The day I accepted Jesus as my only personal Savior, my whole mindset was radical changed. I was incarcerated, in the darkest prison cell. My painful hard experiences motivated me to write this very book, which will have an impact to transform people’s lives. When the prison doors, and iron gates were closed. The feeling inside me began to erupt, my mindset was changed; I began to see myself as the winner. Behind the prison bars, I began to realize I was born for something extraordinary. I began to strive hard, to make sure that I become someone, who always gets extraordinary results. I took a small piece of paper to jot down the book you are reading now.

All the laws of success that would be my guidelines towards my success, even though it was hard, but my predicaments have made me to be more creative. I am not highly educated, but I have a great assurance to reach my destiny. I know, I will succeed. The word of God is very clear nothing is impossible with God. I believe there is no limitation that will hinder me to reach my destiny. My God gave me the power to surpass in everything. I have used my prison circumstances as my stepping-stone to succeed exceedingly. My tears and sorrows connected me to my creator, God the creator of the entire Universe. I am very devastated. Many people I have met use their past to describe their destiny, others used their hardships and destitute to describe their situation, instead of creating a solution. Every situation you go through, there is a reason for it, and some people fail to realize that the past is irrevocable. If you are not willing to change your mindset, you will never do anything good to fulfill your Purpose. Sometimes we go through good and bad things, but whenever bad things occurred, we have a tendency of putting blame on others. Everything happens for a reason . . . Whether is good or bad. I want you to know there is no situation that is designed . . . to be permanent. No, matter what you are going through right now, I want you to see yourself the way God sees you. No, matter who you are, you are born for something extraordinary. Let me share my story with you, once upon a time, when I was still sleeping on the street. The rain was pouring over me; it was freezing and cold without blankets. There was a deep feeling inside me, which kept on reminding me, that there is no place like home. Why don’t you go back home, rather than living your life on the street?"

I was very bound to the street life, it was hard for me to take a step forward to go home, and ask my parents for forgiveness. I thought to myself to die on the street life was a good option for me, because I do not see myself living a purposeful life. I began to speak negative words against my own future, be careful every word’s you uttered with your mouth has an effect. They are also powerful to bring forth the results. I remember speaking negative words over my life, I was a cute little boy of 14 years old, as the results of my negative words, and I have reaped what I have sown in the past fifteen years. For almost 15 years, I have been in and out of prison. This motivational Christian novel it is designed to shape your mind, and cause a radical transformation in your mind, not only in your mind, but also in your spiritual life. I know many people have quit worshiping God, others have become too exhausted, and it is hard for them to continue with their journey. Have you ever felt like everything is against you? This is a good book to read, and my promise to every reader your mind, your life, your thinking and your character will never remain the same. I want you to develop the power on the inside, which will develop a godly character on the outward being. Remember the Word of God is powerful, now you must train yourself, how to use the Word when you are encountering difficult situations. A soldier is someone who is well trained, how to use his or her rifle. Now you must train your spirit how to use the Word. I know the devil will try his filthy deceptive tricks on you, but I want to assure you, that when you have the Word of God, you have a legal right to rebuke the devil. You can easily tell him to back off with his plans. Now it is time to tell him, that you are unshakable, unstoppable and undoable; you are born to live a conquerors life. You must put this in mind every human being is going to be hold accountable for his or her words. This clearly tells us, that everyone has the responsibility to sow something. You are going to reap whatever you have sown. You cannot plant death; and expect to reap abundant life. You cannot plant poverty; and destitute, and after that you expect to reap prosperity. I have seen most exhausted people digging their own graveyards, while they are still breathing. What is the cause of that?" Living a life without God can be too . . . dangerous and harmful.

(Proverbs 18:21 NLT) The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.

It is up to you, and it is your choice what you want to speak with your own mouth. Bear in mind that every word you utter has an effect in your life, and unexpectedly you will reap the consequences. It is an undeniable fact, whether you speak what is good or bad, but an accurate truth you will get exactly the harvest of what you have sown. Those who love to speak what is godly will reap a good harvest, and those who speak failure upon themselves, will reap a bad harvest. You have a God given supernatural ability to speak beyond what you can see. You have the ability to change whatever seems hopeless. You and I possess the power of God’s Word inside to do what seems to be impossible to others. We can accomplish greater things, if we learn to strive and inline our hearts with the Word of God. Let me give you an assurance, something that works for me in my daily life. I used to apply this statement over my life daily. I am the Winner, and there is nothing impossible with God.

ACKNOWLEGDEMENT

I have always wanted to compile a book one day. There was a passion, potential, and a desire of being a good inspirational novelist. MY desire was to combine a good book that will heal so many broken hearts, a book that will inspire them to strive hard to find their God given purpose while on earth. My greatest wish was to write a good quality book that will be a lesson to anybody who wants to serve God for his or her eternity. Many people are weeping to reach their dreams, but they cannot. I also experienced some critical events during my imprisonment life. Every time when I try to put a step forward, taking an initiative step to transform my life, something would hinder me. Several occasions I’ve tried to compile a book, but I was a prisoner of my past, I couldn’t afford to make my today better than my yesterday. The day, I began to transform my perception and my mindset, it’s where the enthusiasm and the potential was developed inside. Without my true savior Jesus Christ, I wouldn’t have reach this far. If you want to live a happy successful life, invite Him He is a good Friend. I promise you, He will never disappoint you.

I want to appreciate my spiritual Father and Mother Dr. Sokhela and Mrs. Sokhela who sacrificed their own time to mentor me. Whether day or night convenient, expedient or sacrificial you have been faithful, and all for encouraging me. I want to appreciate your devotion and prayers, and your love gave me strengths to proceed when I became tired and exhausted. I remember when I was hospitalized, and chained with an iron leg in the hospital bed. There was no one to visit me, everybody whom I consider my best friends, turned their back on me. Unexpectedly, I saw you coming with your beautiful wife to console me, and reminding me that I’m not alone, and I’m also special in the Kingdom of God. I express my undying love for you, may the Lord bless you beyond measure.

I also want to send my appreciation to my beautiful sister Nompilo Mathabe, I just want to say thank you for allowing God to use you. Some people judged me, because of my imprisonment, and my prison uniform. Nevertheless, I remember the day when I phone you, asking for assistance, you welcome me as your own blood brother. May the Lord I serve, open the storeroom in heaven and shower you with all the heavenly blessings.

Pastor Dennis Ntombela, Nzonzoh. I would be making a huge mistake to forget you. Through your three-hour program at High Way Christian, radio station. There are times when I felt like I am alone and neglected in my prison cell.

INTRODUCTION

I have always thought that nothing good will ever come out of prison productive. I never wanted to accept that I have made some mistakes along the way . . . most of the times, I have used my past to scrutinize my future. Let me affirm this statement with a very great assurance. "You . . . cannot go where you do not see. I made a mistake over and repeatedly, listening to the world what is telling me. The world is always telling us that we should be living high life. The whole world idea is wrong and, is not in line with God’s Word. Their idea of high life is having a bottle of expensive whiskey in your hand, smoking good cigarette, sitting in a tropical paradise and encompassed by beautiful wealthy people. What is more important . . . is what we consume in our minds, we are what we eat.

I kept myself in the bondage for some decades I remained a prisoner of my negative thoughts, as a result of my negativism . . . I harvested what exactly was planted in my mind by the enemy." The purpose of the enemy is to captivate your mind, and pervert the truth. All the enemy can do is to take what Jesus created and pervert it, bend it, and distort it into something wicked and deceptive. This book will teach you how to think right using the Word of God. You cannot do this alone you need God, right next to you.

Making the Most of Your Life

The entire book is designed to help you . . . make most of your life effective. Most of the times we have the tendency to ignore the big question, and deal with lesser issues. This tendency has developed we tend to skip over big questions because we find it difficult to get our minds around them. It is also because they can be frightening, and because we feel they are too big, and there is nothing we can do about them. Therefore, we might as well concentrate on the trivia. As an individual . . . one of the biggest challenges you face, is how can I make most of my life perfect? Moreover, the natural tendency’ for all the above-mentioned reason is to ignore it, and get on. Yet without taking the step back, without looking at what you want out of life, and what step you can take to make a move towards it, you are not ever going to come close.

You are designed to abide by the Word of God, if you want to live a purposeful driven life you must start now as you go through this book to transform your mindset. Most of us we have a tendency of being too independent, we like to think our own way, when we fail, we start to blame others. There is no human being who is’ created to be independent, look at the life of Jesus when he was here on earth. Let us look at this scripture.

(John 1:1-3 NLT) In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.

The Word was God this simple tells us that Jesus was God and He is still the Word even in our today’s generation. For through Him God created everything in heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we cannot see, such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities’ in the unseen world, everything was created through Him and for Him. He existed before anything else, and He holds all creation together. Christ is also the Head of the Church, which is His Body. He is the beginning supreme for all who rise from the dead, so He is the first in everything.

Though He was God, He did not think equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, He gave up His divine privileges He took a humble position of slave, and was born as human being. When He appeared in human form, He humbled Himself in obedience to God and died as criminal death on the Cross. God elevated Him in the place of highest honor, and give Him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should . . . bow, in heaven and on earth, and under the earth, and every tongue that confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

The point, I am trying to illustrate here is very simple, if you desire to live a life with a purpose, it all starts with the humble beginning. The attitude of being independent will never take you anywhere. God is seeking people who will be able to hear . . . His voice and lean not to their own understanding, but to God as the source of everything. You cannot walk this journey of success alone. You need God who created you . . . He is the only one who knows you better, more than anybody else does.

God will never give you predictions about whom you are, because He knows you exactly who you are, and He knows the very reason why you are here on earth. Your destiny was predestinated and determined beforehand. Do you know that you are Born to Win?

Let me share this incredible story with you, as you go through this book, you will find some interesting stories, which will help you to prompt forward with your life, no matter what is the condition you are facing. I know, as I am writing this book praying for God’s guidance to help me through His Word to write what is precise, and in line with His Word. This is a most common thing that happens to everyone. People admire to enclose themselves in the room of pain, grief, and devastation. When things are not going well as they have planned them. Unintentional they end up cursing their future, and accusing God, why I am here on earth? Why have you created me? They also forget that God is alive . . . even though you are passing primitive times. I also did the same mistakes continuously, not unless, the day I open my mouth and confess Jesus Christ of Nazareth as my personal Savior.

There was no hope for the future, I had never thought I am a dreamer, I had never imagined myself as an author. There was no hope at all, I was sinking down in my own grave, I was cursing my future, and I would never imagine myself as the young successful author. I was a drug dealer, a drug addict devastated and frustrated because my family was falling apart because of my rebellious attitude. My mother went through hard times, there are times when my dad promised to leave and divorce my mum of my rampage behavior. I was questioning myself, how can my dad divorce my mum after twenty-five years of their beautiful marriage.

All my hopes were shuttered I was in the hopelessness situation, looking around nobody to help me, all whom so-called friends were nowhere to be found anymore. Life was too painful looking around all I see is prison-blackened ceiling. The remnants of insect screens on the barred windows had rusted into shreds. I was too tired and weary seeing this same prison uniform each day, the walls are so filthy the atmosphere is too tense. I’d never thought of Jesus as the solution in my anxieties, unexpectedly one Pastor came to preach in the prison outer yard, I was in my cell still smoking, I was not even aware he was preaching to me.
