In a recent YouTube video, Prophet Joshua Iginla, founder of Champions Royal Assembly, delivered a compelling message about the dangers of self-affliction. He emphasized that personal character flaws can be a major obstacle to one’s progress and fulfillment of destiny.
"Self-affliction can kill when you yourself are the problem. Your character has become your trouble," Iginla stated.
He explained that some individuals remain stagnant for years due to their own behaviors and attitudes. "There are people I cannot just stand. I don't know how they are; they are just too unbelievable. You sit with them for one hour, and you can tell why they have been stagnant for 20 years. Everybody cannot be your toy. Work on yourself; don't destroy yourself with your own hand."
Highlighting the importance of personal effort in fulfilling divine prophecies, Iginla pointed out that merely receiving a prophecy is not enough. "God will give you your prophecy, and a prophet will prophesy to you. But let me tell you, if you don't work towards making it happen, you will stay there," he warned.
Addressing those who question why their situations remain unchanged despite being around him, he explained, "One, the prophet has not changed. Two, God has not changed. If the prophet has not changed and God has not changed, then something is wrong with you. Be careful; don't inflict and stop your destiny."
Iginla also cautioned against dismissing the people God places in one's life to aid their journey. "I've heard young men saying, 'Without you, I can become whatever I want to become.' It is true, but be very careful not to remove the people God has stationed in your destiny path to lift you up," he advised.
Sharing his personal experience, he said, "When I came to Abuja, some of the people that sustained me in Abuja didn't look like it. Character kept me around them. Just be very careful."
