LISTEN UP, MEN...

THE 13 THINGS THAT SECRETLY DESTROY A MAN’S DESTINY (And You Won’t See Village People Among Them)

If you're between ages 18 to 34, this is the raw, undiluted thread you didn't know you needed.
Forget "who is doing you"—you’re doing yourself.

Let’s go:

1. WOMEN, WOMEN, AND WOMEN AGAIN.

Yes, I wrote it three times.
Because most men ruin their future chasing a parade of lips, hips, and empty thrills.

You spend your small earnings on women who don’t care about you.

You sacrifice your time, energy, and focus to impress girls who see you as a joke.

You think you’re “enjoying life”? You’re draining your power.

There’s no trophy for sleeping with 100 girls, only invisible scars and wasted potential.
Keep playing Casanova—you’ll end up as a broke legend in your own WhatsApp status.

2. GAMBLING – THE CANCER OF DESTINY

They say “you win some, you lose some.” But with gambling, you lose more than just money.

You lose time.
You lose peace.
You lose your future.

That “one more bet” might cost you everything.
Sports betting, virtual games, casinos—it starts like fun, then you wake up in debt, depressed, and empty.

3. THE DRUNK MAN’S DESTINY IS ALWAYS DELAYED

Some men collect salary and go straight to the bar like it’s tradition.
Bottle after bottle, you’re pouring your future down the drain.

If you drink more than you save, Oga, you're not living—you’re leaking.

A man who drinks more than he builds ends up with children who inherit shame instead of success.

4. TIME WASTING IS A SLOW KILLER

Want to know the difference between a king and a clown? Time Management.

While you're scrolling TikTok and arguing football,
another guy is learning a skill that’ll feed him for life.

You don’t respect your time?
Life won’t respect your existence.

5. FRAUD (AKA YAHOO) – FAST MONEY, FAST MISERY

You may not like this one, but truth doesn’t need your permission to sting.

You flex today, buy Benz tomorrow—but deep down, you know your soul is empty.

Proverbs says: “Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished.”

You’ll work 10x harder to maintain stolen wealth than to build it legit.

6. THE ADDICTIVE SLOW DEATH CALLED SMOKING & DRUGS

From weed to crack to codeine—name it, I've seen it ruin men.

Lost jobs

Broken homes

Mental breakdown

Financial wreckage

The worst part? The high never lasts. But the damage does.
Stay away from anything that turns your brain to dust.

7. LAZINESS – THE ENEMY WITHIN

A man who loves sleep more than strategy will sleep through his destiny.

You’re not broke because of the economy—you’re broke because you won’t work.
You “hope things change,” but you won’t move.

Get up. Hustle. Sweat. Build.
No shortcut will save you from the discipline you keep avoiding.

8. LACK OF SELF-CONTROL

A man without discipline is like a gun with no safety—dangerous and self-destructive.

You need routines. You need boundaries. You need rules.
If you can’t master yourself, you’ll never master anything else.

9. DISRESPECTING YOUR PARENTS

You can’t curse the tree and expect the fruit to be sweet.

Fighting your parents, insulting them, or abandoning them when they’re weak?
It may not show immediately—but blessings will run far from you.
Fix that attitude.

10. ALWAYS DEPENDING ON OTHERS FOR SURVIVAL

You can’t build a great life on borrowed energy.
Depending on people for basic needs kills your confidence and cripples your creativity.

Your job is to become reliable, not to keep looking for who to rely on.
You were not created to beg through life.

11. BAD FRIENDS – SILENT DESTINY KILLERS

You move with 5 jokers, don’t be shocked when your life becomes a circus.
Your circle is either sharpening you or stabbing you.

Audit your friends. Fire the dead weight.

12. LIVING TO IMPRESS SOCIAL MEDIA

You post like you’re balling, but your bank account is crying.
You buy iPhone 15 to take mirror selfies, but you have no business or investment.

Instagram likes won’t pay your rent, bro.

13. EMOTIONAL WEAKNESS – A MAN’S UNSEEN TRAP

You take every rejection personal.
You crumble when things don’t go your way.
You give up easily.

That soft-hearted, zero-resilience mindset is destroying your climb.

Life is tough. Be tougher.

BOTTOM LINE:
The devil isn't destroying your life. Your choices are.

Start doing these:

Say NO to distractions.

Master your time.

Work hard and work smart.

Cut off energy-draining people.

Build yourself like a man on a mission.

Your destiny is not automatic.
It’s built—brick by brick—with discipline, wisdom, and honesty .

Stay focused

IF YOU DROVE AN AIR-CONDITIONED CAR IN THOSE DAYS, THEY BELIEVED YOU WERE L0ST. NOW WE HAVE AIR-CONDITIONED CHURCHES


RICHES WAS H4TED IN THE CHURCH THOSE DAYS. THEY THOUGHT THE P00RER YOU ARE, THE MORE RIGHTEOUS YOU ARE


THE CHURCH WE MET WHEN WE GOT SAVED ADORED POVERTY

- Bishop David Oyedepo

At the Covenant Day Of Financial Fortune Service, Bishop Oyedepo spoke about the ignorance of the Church in the past concerning prosperity, he said "I knew the Church we met when we got saved. It was a poverty adoring Church. They thought the poorer you are, the more righteous you are. Riches was hated even though it was our inheritance. Church Gist. There were cars you drove that time, they know you are not saved. Driving that kind of car means you are not saved. There was a time we were swimming in sickness and diseases and thinking God was teaching us lessons. The challenges of life anchors on the ignorance of the believer. It is when light comes that darkness gives way."

Speaking further, he emphasized that "If you drive an air conditioned car, they think you are lost and now we are having air-conditioned churches. How? Light has come. Darkness has parted ways. In the same vein, everything that used to be down in your life will start looking up. That is the siege of ignorance. It can be very tormenting. "My people have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge". They are a peculiar people, a royal priesthood but they have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge."

A WORLD MAGAZINE PUBLISHED ME, THE SON OF A POOR FARMER AS ONE OF THE 50 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE - Pastor E.A. Adeboye

While sharing his charge on Sunday titled Divine Manifestation, Pastor Adeboye spoke on how some years ago, a world magazine published the name of 50 most influential people in the world. Church Gist. There were 2 clergymen included in this list. Himself and The Pope.

He stated that the God who can pick the son of a poor farmer and raise him up until he becomes one of the 50 most influential people in the world cannot be limited by any height.

He reiterated that there is absolutely nothing too hard for God to do. However, to enjoy such amazing privileges, one must dwell under the shadow of this Almighty. Church Gist. He said, "If you do not 100 percent surrender to Him, all my decrees will be useless concerning you."

He emphasized that he is not one of the 50 because he has a PHD in mathematics, rather because he gave his life to Jesus and Jesus is working through him.
