Pastor E.A. Adeboye emphasizes that destiny is the powerful, divine plan of God for an individual's life, established before birth. Despite the enemy's efforts to thwart it, God's purpose for a person will ultimately prevail. 

Core principles of destiny
Destiny is a divine plan: You are not in this world by accident; God, as a master architect, has a specific purpose for you.

Destiny is more powerful than death: God can ensure the fulfillment of His purpose for your life, even if it requires reversing the irreversible or bringing someone back to life. Biblical examples like Peter, Joseph, and Daniel show that those destined for greatness cannot be killed by their enemies.

Destiny is resilient: A person's destiny can be challenged—aborted, destroyed, or truncated—but it can also be redeemed, restored, or reversed through God's intervention.
Destiny requires action: While God initiates destiny, individuals must also play a part. In the story of Naaman, Adeboye notes that the greatest helper of his destiny was Naaman himself. Likewise, those who resist God's purpose for their lives must surrender to Him. 

How destiny manifests
It clings to you: Adeboye describes destiny as a force that follows you like a shadow, ensuring you end up where God intends. He illustrates this with Joseph, who rose to leadership in Potiphar's house and in prison, and David, who became a leader among destitute men before becoming king.
God controls the seasons: From the day you are born, God controls the seasons and timing of your life to bring His purpose to pass, as with the fulfillment of Sarah's destiny.
Destiny-shaping experiences: Sometimes God uses surprising circumstances to guide you. For example, Adeboye shared a personal story of how an enemy's actions pushed him toward his destiny as a pastor. 

Helpers of destiny
God can use various people and forces to help you reach your destiny. These "helpers" can include: 
Relatives (e.g., Miriam for Moses)
Friends
Servants
Enemies
Servants of God 

How to help your destiny
Surrender to God: For those who know they are called by God but are resisting, Adeboye urges them to surrender completely.
Receive the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit gives you the power to fulfill your destiny.
Use your power: For those who have received the Holy Spirit, Adeboye calls them to use their God-given power to heal the sick, serve others, and serve God.

Engage with the Holy Communion: Adeboye teaches that the Holy Communion, if taken worthily, can restore a truncated destiny.
