Contents

T he discovering your divine assignment unto success reminds me of my beginning in the service but just before then, I desired some other profession. The illustration of this book will lead many to their destination of purpose and will encourage some to continue the discovery and eventually they will come to a place of fulfillment.

I sincerely concur with the author in the faith approach to explain the interest of God in the life of individual. I found very interesting the chapter on Dealing with Failure and I sense the readers will be challenged not to give up in the time of adversity and disappointments along the way to the divine assignment.

God Bless.

Ambassador Sonni Samuel Yusuf

High Commissioner of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to South Africa.

I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO GOD WHO CHARTED A COURSE FOR ME and gave me the illumination of Christ to discover assignment and purpose, the principles of the Kingdom of God which I have lived by and believed.

To my parent Chief Joseph A Adenigba retired estate manager and my late mother Rachael O. Adenigba, they made a good decision to have me after 6 (six) children.

My family, my wife, Makungu great help mate in the course of discovering my purpose, all my love to you and the children this book is dedicated to you for the time you allowed me to write and prepare for the church teachings, Adedamola, Oreoluwa and the new Andrew you are all blessed miracles in our life.

I realized that in the journey of finding your assignment you cannot forget the beginning, there are people I have had opportunity to work with right from my early 20s and the love they showed have had impact on my understanding of setting goals of life and working hard.

My first job after my higher education was with an Interior decoration company known as Handikraft, whose Chief executive was Taiwo KasumuAdejumo, without experience she employed me and gave me a challenging position as company manager and this period opened up my entrepreneurial belly.

The book illustrates the life of biblical personalities like David and Joseph who from a humble beginning started at an insignificant position and rose to be king of Israel and Prime minister respectively. It helps to explain the ways of God in this book.

I spent many years at Seeff Properties under reputable industry leaders and I acknowledge the conducive management for me as the only black estate agent then, Samuel Seeff, Emary Campbell and Charles Vinnin were encouraging during my initial discovering the real estate career.

A platform that gave me the insights into my call to property entrepreneurship with no doubt since 17years including the 10 th year I established Abaden properties.

A big appreciation to all my property clients in Africa and overseas without you the stability of the assignment could not have been.

The Chairman and Managing Director of Canronc Group of companies Mr Chris Alabi undoubtedly your association has been a blessing in the discovering of my assignment.

My services to the Nigerian mission in Johannesburg and Pretoria as a property consultant for the past decade is an assuring path to discovering my assignment. I acknowledge the enviable leadership of the present High Commissioner of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to South Africa , H E Ambassador Sonni S. Yusuf who endorses every Nigerian professionals to be given an opportunity in their field of calling.

The members of The Patriots Club of Nigeria International SA, your trust of leadership in me for two years as president was a test of my understanding of Christ like leadership, I appreciate you all patriots.

I acknowledge a gentleman I met in Namibia, a consul at the Nigeria High Commission Mr. Kayode Aluko; he encouraged me to immigrate to South Africa. It was a quiet counsel which I took and it was a key to discovering my path to this day. I remember Sister Eunice Ndubisi and the sons for the time I lived with you in Namibia God bless you.

In the book I wrote about my beginning in ministry of Christ as a lay leader and how God prepared me through my voluntary service to the church until the Spirit of the Lord urged me to start a full time pastoral work. Apostle H. Meyers the fatherly support and encouragement is invaluable to me and from the AFM Ophir network leadership Pastors; Hanes Van Zyl, Dave Strydom and George Thompson a warm embrace of my ministry to be their member.

Along discovering my ministry I had certain divine meetings with servants of God; as a professional realtor and as a pastor it gave me more confirmation in my spirit.

1989-92 at the Christ Chapel Church Ijora, as a young Christian then with much love for God I attended Benny Hinn crusade hosted by Pastor Tunde Joda, that night I connected with Benny Hinns anointing for ministry but never realized, though I was at the door with no space to access but my hand received, almost 10 years later I began to function in ministry assignments till today.

I remember, Rev Dr Mercy Ezekiel the trust she had in me as a consultant to CPM South Africa was divine, no wonder when I went to inform her that, I am now in full time ministry, interestingly, she did not ask me If I heard from God or are you called, may be she saw it coming, but she prayed for me, thank you mummy.

At the cape town airport while waiting to board a flight to Johannesburg and also at the lounge was Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo; he was warm towards me with no protocol and we engaged a long discussion into the flight and since then I connected to his ministry and recently at the KOMNET International conference, thank you for the profound advice towards my assignment.
