I have written this book in response to the Journey which took me through many different stages of life. For growing up as the son of a share cropper in a very small town in North Alabama known as Falkville, we were very poor which carried with it a very low self-esteem. Living in an age of segregation it was very difficult to even imagine being able to rise from the poverty that existed. But God!
It was following my graduation from high school that God’s providence was upon me. I lived a ruthless life for about three years and at the age of twenty-one I received Jesus as my Savior. What a change came in my life.
Following my salvation experience, I began to discover who I was in Christ, what I have and what I could do in Christ and my low self-esteem became a vibrant God-esteem which led me to attend Bible College. I received a BA and BTH Degree from Birmingham Baptist Bible College and a Masters of Divinity Degree from Birmingham Theology Seminary and in the process, I have Pastored forty-three years which involved three churches with me Pastoring thirty-seven years at Mount Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church, where I presently preside.
This Book is the results of My Journey which attempted to detail what brought me from a life of low self-esteem, poverty and a ruthless lifestyle to a life of a rich God-esteem and a supporter of the Kingdom of God in every way. {For God has blessed me to preach the Gospel internationally in Albania and Uganda, Africa, where I am the overseer of a church that our church has established in Gulu and its sole supporter. I have been traveling there for the past five years overseeing and preaching the Gospel. My destiny is in the process of being fulfilled.}
I believe the concepts and principles in this Book will truly be a help in you coming into and fulfilling Your Destiny. My prayer is that The Fulfillment of God Given Destiny will become your road map on Your Journey.
