ThriVe! with Babs – 51st Edition: The Journey of Destiny, Part 2: The Awakening
The 51st edition of ThriVe! with Babs carried the weight of a fresh stirring — The Awakening. Continuing from the 50th “Golden Jubilee” episode that opened the destiny series, Babatunde Oladele invited participants into the heart of what it means to step onto the path of purpose.
He reminded us that every journey to destiny begins with a divine nudge — that restless stirring inside that whispers: “I was made for more.” Circumstances often shift, sometimes painfully, until comfort zones can no longer hold us. This is the birthing ground of awakening.
Egypt: The Symbol of Bondage and Limitations
Drawing from the Exodus story, Babs framed Egypt as the metaphor for everything that restricts us — oppression, generational cycles, ignorance, and fear. Every person has an “Egypt.” But the point of destiny is never to settle there.
Your future is not determined by your bondage. It begins when you recognize it and step out in faith.
The Burning Bush Moment
Just as Moses encountered God at the burning bush, every destiny journey carries a defining moment of awakening. Babs reminded listeners that such encounters don’t only happen in sacred spaces — they can unfold in ordinary, everyday places.
The challenge? Sensitivity. Will you recognize the divine nudge when it comes, or let it slip away?
Recognizing the Path to Destiny
Destiny is not simply about chasing what feels good. It resonates deeper than fleeting happiness. Fulfillment, impact, and a sense of divine alignment are markers. As Stephen, a participant, noted, true destiny leaves its mark on others’ lives.
Feedback, inner witness, and yes, sometimes dissatisfaction, can all point toward the path you were designed to walk.
Writing a Personal Mission Statement
Perhaps the most practical challenge from this session was Babs’ call for each participant to write their mission statement in one sentence.
His own? “To give beauty for ashes.”
That focus has fueled platforms like ThriVe! with Babs, born from lived pain and turned into a life-giving ministry.
What’s your one-sentence mission? That may be your compass on the journey of destiny.
