If you want to stop being your own worst enemy, there are three things you must absolutely learn—and act on. First, get rid of pride. Proverbs 16:18 reminds us, *“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”* Pride disconnects you from grace and keeps you from your destiny. Humility, on the other hand, opens doors. It attracts God’s help and ushers you into favor.

Say it aloud: *“I will humble myself.”* Not just in words, but in your heart and actions. Humility helps you reach your destiny. When you refuse to acknowledge your weaknesses, you delay your breakthrough. Many powerful people have fallen because they refused to humble themselves before God. The Bible says, *“God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble”* (James 4:6).

Second, get rid of anger. Ecclesiastes 7:9 says, *“Anger rests in the bosom of fools.”* Anger is temporary madness, yet many people wear it like a badge. Some say, “I was mad at him.” Exactly—that’s what anger does. It drives you mad and steals your peace. Worse still, it sets traps for your destiny.

You must understand that sometimes the enemy uses people to provoke you—not because he cares about the argument, but because he’s targeting your future. People will say terrible things about you to bait you into a response. Don’t fall for it. When you respond in anger, you lose spiritual ground. Many destinies have been destroyed by one moment of uncontrolled anger.

Tell your neighbor (or yourself), *“Hey, stop being angry!”* It’s not worth your future. Guard your emotions. Anger is never worth losing your blessing over.

Third, don’t be lazy. Laziness is a silent destiny killer. Consider the story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5. He was told to dip in the Jordan River seven times to be healed. What if he stopped at six? He would have died a leper. Obedience requires endurance to the very end.

Many believers quit praying just before their breakthrough. They fasted, prayed, and then stopped. That’s how miracles are missed. In 2 Kings 13:14–19, Elisha tells the king to strike the ground with arrows. The king did it three times and stopped. Elisha was angry: *“You should have struck five or six times! Then you would have completely destroyed your enemies.”* Now, the king would only win three battles instead of many.

This applies to us. When we pray halfway, give halfway, obey halfway—we receive halfway. Don't stop short of your miracle. Push through until your joy is full.

Tonight, I urge you: cry out to God for help. This message isn’t just for someone else—it’s for you. God is saying, *“You are my special project. I will complete you.”* If you truly want a better future, you must keep seeking, praying, and surrendering.

Even seasoned pastors cry for help. We all need God. I’m still praying and fasting because I know I haven’t arrived. My future is brighter than my past, and yours can be too.

But first, you must surrender your life to Jesus. Isaiah 3:10 says, *“Say to the righteous, it shall be well with him.”* But verse 11 warns, *“Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him.”* You can’t expect tomorrow to be better if you haven’t settled the issue of salvation.

So if you haven’t given your life to Jesus, do so now. Don’t delay. God is not obligated to bless a life outside His covenant. Run to Him, repent, and receive His help.

May your future be brighter, your prayers be answered, and your life be filled with God’s divine help.

**Amen.**
