Hey Guys, today I start off with my self-empowerment series. The aim of this series is to teach you all how to grow in the understanding of yourself and to be positioned to release destiny.

Let’s get started!

1. Distraction: You endanger your destiny when you become distracted from your calling. This happens in a numerous amount of ways i.e. when you get into unproductive relationships both intimate and in friendships, they begin to infect your destiny and block the pathway for you to be able to receive your calling. Some people can testify to the fact that some relationships have propelled them into their purpose while others have been pulled away from their calling because of who they have attached themselves to. Destiny is at the core of your identity-if you attach yourself to the wrong vessels on this journey, you will become distracted from your calling.

2. Delay: Distractions lead to delay. You will discover the more you spend time being distracted from your purpose, the more you begin to procrastinate your calling because you have started to speak a language that is not connected to destiny. When you begin to understand the language of distraction, through your relationships, your friendships this will create a platform for excuses to be developed as to why you can no longer start that project at this point in time but later-and then later becomes one month which progresses to one year and so on and so forth-because distraction leads to delay.

3. Denial: Delay leads to denial. Denial is defined as declaring something to be untrue. This is the point at which you begin to lose your unique truth. You have lost the sound of your calling-you no longer understand the language of your identity. And this causes-denial. Denial is dangerous to your destiny because your destiny is wrapped up in your identity-and if you begin to deny your identity you have begun to deny the truth of your destiny.

4. Disillusionment: This will cause disillusionment. To be disillusioned is to become discouraged. This is a product of denial-when you begin to deny your truth, you cannot possibly discover your destiny. This is when you become disillusioned and begin to believe that you are not as good as you once believed at singing, writing, dancing, acting or whatever other talents God has placed inside you. This is very dangerous because at this point we come to the last step on the route to dangers to destiny.

5. Destruction: This is destruction. Destruction is the action or process of causing so much damage to something that it no longer exists. Now digest this: when you begin to have self doubt through denial, and become disillusioned with yourself you have already begun the process of destroying your own destiny with your lack of identity. Destiny cannot be destroyed except we personally allow it to be done-you are in control of your destiny. This is why the original point of contact for destruction to become rooted in your destiny is distraction. It all depends on you.Your relationships will either push you forward or pull you back from your calling, and when pulled backwards clearly and even literally there will be a delay and this will produce procrastination and denial which will make you become disillusioned and at this point, you have become involved with the wrong conversation-the conversation that destroys your destiny because you can no longer see your identity.

EXERCISE: These are 5 dangers to destiny we should all be aware of so as a quick exercise I need you to reflect on your relationships-eliminate/elevate those that pull you backward/propel you forward, this will create room for your destiny to speak which will counter any thoughts of delay or give room for denial which in turn will block access for disillusionment to fester and ultimately protects your destiny from destruction.
