Destiny is real. its predesigned by the creator of life.

Life is a combination of both free-will and destiny. If it’s raining outside, it’s destiny; you have no control over the weather. But to be wet or remain dry is your free-will. Take the past as destiny, future as free-will and be happy in the present. A foolish person looks at the past as free-will with regret, future as destiny and is miserable in the present.

Uuuhm i was wondering; If you were destined to die in 50years time, how come you still need to look before you cross the road..

why not cross, cus certainly you wont die if its not ur destiny..

There is nothing like Destiny, it's all a religious fabrication to either pacify, awe,confuse or animate a population by religious Scammers in their belief that the injustice befell them is their Destiny when retribution is feared and PACIFICATION sought, a sort of "Blame it on God not the Atrocious thieves" explanation. Any good development is Destiny so the person has only God to thank not his hardwork and he rather not denounce his allegiance to the said Religion out of fear that the Gods might alter his destiny he lives in AWE what this Pastor/Iman/Babalawo can do. It has always been the destiny of Usurpers to take for themselves what belongs to others, the Inquisition had their God ordained Destiny to pillage the indians, Europeans destiny to steal the America , Blackman's destiny to be a slave, Jihadists and pillagers alike were all Animated by that same proclamation of what their Destiny is.

will update tomorrow.

@ Joel. My own understanding of Destiny is like this. Destiny is an assignment divinely pre-ordained for us to fulfil here on earth by God. No man understands or discovers his destiny (his divine assignment or purpose in life) outside of God. Some fulfil destiny without knowing they r indeed working out their purpose in life e.g, The Persian King Cyrus. 200yrs before he was born, God through prophet Isaiah prophecied that he(Cyrus) will rebuild his Temple. Secondly Joseph fufilled his destiny by being the vessel God used to take his children to egypt as He told Abraham is friend. Juda ischariot betraying his friend and Master. John the Baptist. And finally the antichrist who we r still waiting to manifest. These people didn't need to search out the scriptures or wait on God for any revelation. Its been ordained, even if they wanted to, they couldn't change it.
What about us, who need revelations to know what our assignments on earth are? We can live and die without discovering what our purposes are or discover it but refused to work to fufil it. Christ has given his life for all, what is left is acceptance and the Grace to walk the walk. But what if u reject him? Meanwhile there's something he' ll have u do for him. Remember u r not the only one who can do that thing. Do u think God will leave His work undone because u won't accept to walk with Him? No. Our destinies gets fulfilled when we accept him into our lives and obey to do whatecer he wants us to.
Let me relate alil story here. I graduated from the uni. I got a job, one year later, I lost the job, I was linked to another, one year later again, I lost the job, immidiately, I got another job, again I lost the job after oneyr. NO, dis is not ordinary. because, my bosses don't tell me that am not good at my job. No previous quarry. So what's it? I went on investigative prayer. For three days I was in a prayer camp. Father what is it. Why r u terminating my jobs. I knew satan couldn't stop me, so it had to be God. He didn't say anything to me till I came back home. Two weeks later. He gave me a vision and in the vision, he detailed my purpse in life. I had the same vision two consegative nights. The first face of the mission, the second night the concluding part of my mission. If I told u, u'd be shocked. He won't allow me get comfortable in what I was doing. AND, I was told where I'll be and what to do. BUT, if I decides to marry a man who lives in America and I join him. I will still do, what am told, but won't fulfil that mission. If I out rightly say. I can't see myself doing that, do u think that purpose will be fulfilled? NO. Now I know what I shd do, and where I shd do it. If I work in obidience, there r souls that God will save through me where He wants me to be, but if I decide to still do it somewhere else. I leave the sheep unattended. Although he can use someone else. But I would failed him. Meanwhile, am not called to be pastor ooo.
So in essence. There's destiny where ones freewill is requried, there's one that you do Gods will without even knowing it.

If you're silly enough to take a dose of cyanide intentionally and you die, isn't that destiny ?
