Navigating the Journey of Destiny [Grand Finale] – Managing Success

Navigating the Journey of Destiny (Grand Finale): How to Manage Success Without Losing Alignment

The journey to success is not linear; it’s filled with ups and downs, lessons learned, and divine guidance. As we reach the grand finale of the Navigating the Journey of Destiny series, Babs Oladele leaves us with invaluable insights on how to manage success. This session — MANAGING SUCCESS — is a deep dive into the principles that ensure we not only reach our goals but maintain them as we walk in alignment with our higher purpose.

The Essence of Success: Alignment with Purpose

Babs emphasizes that success is not a one-time event, but a continuous journey. In his discussion, he draws a parallel between the journey of the Israelites in the Book of Exodus and our personal quests for success. As the Israelites journeyed toward the Promised Land, they encountered challenges that tested their resolve. Similarly, we must navigate challenges that shape us and ultimately guide us to our destiny.

As Babs aptly puts it, success is eroded gradually by misalignment, unmanaged fear, and undisciplined attention over time. Success isn’t destroyed by one catastrophic event, but by our inability to stay aligned with our purpose, values, and divine calling.

Lessons from the Israelites: The Price of Misalignment

Babs uses the story of the Israelites’ loss of the Promised Land as a cautionary tale about what happens when misalignment and disobedience overshadow our spiritual guidance and core values. Despite the divine promise, the Israelites lost their way due to their misguided strategies, fear, and disobedience.

In the session, Babs reflects on how their success turned into failure. They attributed their accomplishments to their own strength and strategies, rather than recognizing that success comes from divine alignment. This misalignment led to their eventual downfall. True success, Babs asserts, is not about personal achievement but stewardship — a gift from God.

How to Manage and Retain Success

Success is not a one-off experience; it is a stewardship. To retain success, Babs stresses the importance of humility, responsibility, and a commitment to core values. He calls on participants to continuously strive to stay grounded and focused on their divine purpose, understanding that everything — including success — is ultimately a gift from God.

To ensure you retain success, Babs provides these essential principles:

1. Stay Humble – Success should never make you complacent or proud. Humility allows you to keep the right perspective and continue growing.
2. Embrace Responsibility – Every success comes with responsibility. Recognizing this helps you navigate challenges without losing your way.
3. Focus on Core Values – Misalignment with your values will erode your success. Staying true to your principles will ensure long-term success.

Overcoming Fear: A Spiritual Lesson

In this session, Babs also talks about the importance of overcoming fear in the face of challenges. Fear often prevents us from stepping into our true potential. Babs explains how fear of failure, fear of the unknown, and misguided control hold us back from achieving our full success.

Drawing from biblical references, he elaborates on how the Israelites’ journey was marked by moments of fear that held them back. Just as the Israelites had to confront their fears in order to step into their destiny, we too must face our fears and align ourselves with divine purpose. As Babs teaches, fear must not dictate our decisions, but we should use it as a reminder to strengthen our faith and spiritual fortification.

Key Lessons from the Journey: The Importance of Alignment

• Misalignment with divine principles and guidance leads to failure.
• Success is not about personal achievement but a stewardship of what God has entrusted to us.
• Spiritual fortification and constant alignment with one’s divine purpose are essential for retaining success.
• Leadership failures and disobedience can cause a loss of direction, leading to the forfeiture of what was promised.
