In the journey of life, there are obstacles to the things we want to do or achieve as a person. There are things that will make a person powerless or useless in life. Obstacles are things that will impede or stand in our way to progress. Obstacles are things that can make one life bitter and sorrowful. Other words that can be used in place of obstacle are impediment, obstruction, hurdle, barrier etc

We will be talking about the four major obstacles to the journey of life, which is as follows:

1. DEATH: This is the first obstacle to a man journey in life, because with this your journey of life of going to the best school or sending your children to the best school will come to an end, nothing can be done about you again. There is a popular saying that it is only the living that has hope of tomorrow. When death touches a man that is the end of such a man. The chapter of such a man will be closed forever.
Death can be said to be the cessation of life or the end of existence of a person. There is a popular saying that the most fertile land, cool place, intelligent place to be on earth is the cemetery. I came to believe it because people with brains to change the world, people that are supposed to be leaders, presidents, governors, legislators, captains of industries, investors died with their God given gift and goes to the grave like that, that is why you see witches, occult men/women going to the cemetery to hold their meeting and to acquire more power, that is the reason why you always hear big witch doctors are using the head of dead people to do charms and grow more in occult power. The Muslim also goes to the cemetery to prayer.
The dead of a man terminate the good dreams and ideals of such a man on earth.

2. POVERTY: The second obstacle to a person journey of life is poverty. When poverty holds a person beans cake and bread is the best food on earth while fried rice and chicken is a waste of money, when poverty holds a person painting of house is a waste of money, if poverty holds a person buying a shoe of #3,000 is a waste of money, when poverty holds a person touch light phone is the best phone on earth, when poverty holds a man suit of #15,000 is too expensive. If poverty is in a person life people know the next clothes the person will put on, because he has few clothes to wear.
Poverty is the state or quality of being poor or indigent, want or scarcity of means of existence. With the good help of poverty a man of 40 years can look older than a man of 60 years.
Poverty has make so many people useless in life, because of poverty so many people are written off or forgotten by friends, because of poverty the ideals you have to make it in life is useless, that is why in the bible God equals himself with money, because He as God knows the important of money to the world and the church.
The favour television you are watching and people all over the world are been blessed, the amount to put it on air for a month can build a story building. Going to revival it needs money to travel, rent hotels to stay. No matter how anointed a man of God is without money he cannot preach the word of God very well. No matter how intelligent you are as a person without money you cannot acquire education. No matter how good your business ideals are without money is a dead ideal. A poor man will tell you government schools are the best that private schools are just waste of money.
A man with money attract respect from people, with money a person can change his or her decision. Either you believe it or not money answers all things.
There is a saying, throw money to people and they will lose their memory over things.

3. SICKNESS: The third obstacle of life journey is sickness. A sick person cannot do anything. Sickness is an obstacle of life that you are alive, you cannot eat, people will be taking decision for you, people are to tell you what to do, people will start controlling your life for you while you are alive.
Go to hospitals and see different kind of sickness you will know that malarial and typhoid fever are just made for children. Some people have been in the hospital for weeks, months, and even years, than you will thank God for the good health you are enjoying. An army officer that can run twenty kilometer at once, if sickness holds him nobody will tell him not to run. An army officer that can do hundred push up at a time if sickness hold him nobody will tell him to stop at 10.
When a person is sick and be taken to the hospital, a small boy can talk to the person the way he likes, because he is a medical doctor and you are at his mercy, but on a normal day he cannot even talk to you.
There are sicknesses that will hold a man, friends will run away, family will run away and at times spouse will reject you. There are some kinds of sickness that will hold you, wheelchair will reject you, and at times doctors will be tired and reject you. When a sickness is upon a person, such a person can become a medical doctor overnight, he/she can inject him/herself. When sickness holds a man he knows the names of drugs and their function. When sickness is upon a man he will have a pharmacy in his house. When a man is always sick friends and family will be meeting him to help them for prescription of drugs when they also fall sick, meaning such a man has turned to an emergency doctor.
Sickness is a bad obstacle to the journey of life, because it disconnects you from the enjoyment of life.

4. DISAPPOINTMENT: The fourth obstacle to the journey of life is disappointment, which is promise and fail.
Disappointment is a circumstance in which a strongly held expectation is not met. When a person is always disappointment over things he/she needs to survive with, it can destroy such a person.
When disappointment is in the life of a person, such a person will always experience promise and fail.
