Chapter 1
The why Life of God’s children
Why do most Christians live a defeated life? Why do most of them move with their heads facing down? Why are they always in tears? Why most of them are not successful? Why most of them are always the first culprits to be retrenched in their places of work? Why do we find high statistics of divorce amongst Christians? Why most street kids found in our cities are of Christian family backgrounds? Why do most Christian churches are of improper structures; Christians worship in tents, schools and in their houses?
The big question is, why? It is the fact that the devil is playing hide and seek amongst the children of God. He is applying his tricks and is enjoying it. The devil is engaged in what we call, ‘Operation Visa Versa’. The devil is destroying the children of the living God and stealing what is destiny for them. He is exchanging the blessings prepared for God’s children with curses and evil things.
Ecclesiastes 10:5-7, “Here is an injustice I have seen in the world; an injustice caused by rulers. Stupid people are given positions of authority while the rich are ignored. I have seen slaves on horseback while noblemen go on foot like slaves.”
This scripture refers to Christians and non-Christians. Christians in this sense are those who are called the children of God; those who does His will and live by His word. It is clear from this scripture of the Ecclesiastes that; Christians are victims of the injustices of this world.
Christians are heirs to the things of God. Instead of inheriting what is for their Father God, they are subjected to all sorts of evils, attacks and sufferings. They are subjected to live a life of slavery. They live a miserable lifestyle. They live in poverty and in shame. They are laughing objects in their communities. They are always embarrassed and removed from top positions. They are ignored and surpassed in their societies. The enemy is enjoying seeing the children of God going through such pains. It makes him happy seeing Christians failing and moaning all the times.
Genesis 1:26, “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth that moves along the ground.’”
God gave His children authority and dominion over all His creation. Christians are His children, and power had been given to them to govern what belongs to Him, and they are to benefit from it. They have power over all animals; the mountains and plants. They have power over the seas and its contents. They have power over the devil and his followers! Now the question is; why do Christians live a defeated life?
If you are a child of God, His love is upon you. It is His love that you should be called His child, and that is what you are. Since He loves you as His child, it is your right to inherit what belongs to Him.
1 John 3:1, “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.”
They did not know Him who loves us so much. Because they did not know Him, they are not to be called His children. They are not supposed to inherit His possession. Strange enough, statistics proves that most non-Christians own the wealthy of this world; they are in top government positions; they make the world go round. They are successful.
Whilst the devil followers are enjoying all the elite and wealth they have stolen; he is also using them to destroy the lives of many people living under the sun. These include Christians and many of His followers.
John 10:10, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
The scripture is clearer on what the devil’s agenda and activities are on earth. He is fighting against God’s children; he is fighting to destroy God’s creation and His people who are his followers. The devil’s purpose is to kill and destroy. But thank God for Jesus. He has come to reverse every trap set against God’s children; He has come to remove all the obstacles laid before God’s children; He has come to reverse all the curses and everything that is evil against Christians and surly He has come to give life in its fullest.
With him you can face the enemy without fear. You have the right ammunition and that is Jesus. He is a perfect rifle; He is a perfect weapon. Oh, how I love Him.
Chapter 2
Timing the devil
The devil's strategy is to destroy as we have seen in chapter one. The devil uses a system we refer as "satanic exchange" to destroy. What is satanic exchange? It is what we read about in the book of Ecclesiastes 10:5-7, which is what Christians are subjected to.presented themselves before King Solomon. One of them said, 'your Majesty, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth to a baby boy at home whilst she was there. Two days after my child was born she also gave birth to baby boy.Only the two of us were there in the house, no one else was present. The one night she
Ecclessiastes 10:5-7, "Here is an injustice I have seen in the world; an injustice caused by rulers. Stupid people are given positions of authority while the rich are ignored. I have seen slaves on horse back while noblemen go on foot like slaves."
Now; you need to carefully study the devil's movements for you to be able to face and defeat him. You need to know his times of operations. Remember; the devil is not God, but he wants to make himself God. He wants to be God. Because he is not God, it is easy to trace his operations, but you need to be more careful because of his tricks.
1 Kings 3:16-27, "Then one night she accidentally rolled over on her baby and smothered it. She got up during the night, took my son from my side while I was asleep, and carries him to her bed; then she put the dead child in my bed. The next morning, when I woke up and I was going to feed my baby, I saw that it was dead. I looked at it more closely, and saw that it was not my child.'"
The devil's activities are carried at night according to the scripture. What was supposed to be celebrated, (gift of a child) turned to be the worse mares in the lives of these women.
The devil targeted the two women at night. He used one against the other. The devil's most powerful tool of destruction is a human being; someone who is against God's word and against His will. Remember the backsliders! These are the most important subjects in the field of evil.
The same way, the devil targets the children of God at night. It is at night when he destroy marriages; it is at night when he plans armed robbery; it is at night when he performs witch craft; it is at night when he occupies the minds of Christians with all sorts of challenges, troubles and negative thoughts. It is at night! At night he is on duty. He works better during night shift. He and his angels operates freely. It is at night when all is quiet and every one else is faster asleep. At this time he sends his menpower; the angels of darkness to work. The devil's times of operation are at night. He steals at night. He exchanges the good for the bad at night. He enters the heart of a righteous man at night. He invade the brain of a man and its bloods cells at night.
It was during night hours when a woman's baby was exchanged for a dead baby. The devil can do the same to a Christian. He can exchange his life by death. He can also place death by the side of a Christian the whole night long without anyone noticing. He takes away God's beauty, which is life and replace it with death.
Many Christians are dead alive. They are dead-moving objects. The devil has dominated their lives. They do not even realise that they are dead. They do not even realise that they are carrying death which do not belong to them. Their Christian lives had been destroyed. Why? It is because the devil has been given a free role by Christians to freely operate without being challenged.
Be warned Christians! Be warned; the devil is monitorng each and every movement of a child of God. A slight slumber, the devil gets an opportunity to attack. He knows very well that Christians are lazy at night. Every one is tired, cold and dissappointed. That is when he moves freely with his evil workers and attacks the vulnerable.
In verse 21 of the same scripture in the book of 1 Kings 3, it says, "The next morning, when I woke up and I was going to feed my baby, I saw that it was dead. I looked at it more closely, and saw that it was not my child."
"When the morning came..." said the woman. She got a revelation. Lo! Next to her lay death. The child next to her was dead. As she looked at it more closely, the dead child she saw was not hers. The devil doubled this woman's tragedy. The devil has no mercy at all. He just add more trouble on top of trouble in ones life. He also add on it with death.
But thank God our Father in heaven, for Jesus Christ. The morning came for this troubled woman. The morning came while she was in the midst of storms and tribulations. When the morning came to her, something unexpected was revealed unto to her. Behold, death was placed by her side. When she looked more closely at it; that death was not hers. The whole night she slept next to death which did not belong to her. It was when the morning came that she discouvered the mistery.
In your Christian llife, you need to realise the morning. It is when the morning arrives that you will be able to see the hidden secretes of the devil set against you.
2 Peter 1:19, "And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts." You need the morning in your Christian life so that you may see clearly the devil's hidden agendas.
Christians must pray. It is only prayer that the Christians may experience light. Prayer is a Christian's alarm. Pray in the middle of the night. The morning can come in the middle of the night when you pray. The morning can come in the middle of storms when you pray.
"If the problem is five metres high; go down on your knees 5 for hours!" Pastor Kuduge.
You can face the enemy without fear if you pray. The devil's favourable times are at night. Pray against his forces at knight. You need to be alert for he is moving amongst lazy Christians aiming to destroy their lives.
1 Peter 5:8, "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."
Lets look at Genesis 29:23 and 25, "But when the evening came, he took his daughter Leah and gave her to Jacob, and Jacob lay with her."
It was at knight when evil acts were perfomed. Jacob had sexual intercourse with a woman who was not intended to be his (satanic exchange). The good he expected he could not get it, instead an exchange was done.
"When the morning came..." says verse 25, "there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, 'what is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn't I? Why have you deceived me?'"
The morning came for Jacob, and saw that the woman that he was involved with the whole night was not the one he worked for, for many years. The devil's system of destruction works perfect at knight against God's children when they are not alert; when the do not pray.
Chapter 3
Dealing with satanic exchange system
In this chapter we will look into certain facts referring closely to the scripture.
The first fact is; "A Person's Life Can Be Exchanged for Another" 1 Kings 20:42, "The Prophet then said to the King, 'this is the word of the Lord; because you allowed the man to escape whom I had ordered to be killed, you will pay for it with your life, and your army will be destroyed for letting his army escape.'"
Isaiah 43: 3-4, "For I am the Lord your God, the Holy God of Israel, who saves you. I will give up Eagypt to set you free; I will give up Ethiopia and Seba. I will give up the whole Nations to save your life, because you are precious to me and because I love you and give you honour."
The two scriptures shows clearly that it is possible to have someone's life to be exchanged for another. Even a whole Nation can be exchanged to save another Nation; it can be exchanged to to honour another Nation. That is possible.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God died in our place. He was without sin, but died for us so that we may live. Matthew 20:28, "Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many." Jesus' life was exchanged with our lives.
As a King, Jesus was supposed to be served. Many people were supposed to be put to death for mocking and despising Him; Instead He was reduced to a hardened criminal, a thief and a murderer; and reduced to death at the end. Thank God He is alive. He ressurrected from the death so that we may face the enemy without fear.
Now, having such information as the children of God; we stand with confidence to fight and defeat the enemy. The children of God are given all power and authority to channel all evils set against them to those who are non-believers. This sound very strange.
In the bible we have angry scriptures. Most Christians cannot accept such scriptures said to be angry scriptures due to its aggressiveness towards non-believers.
It is true that Christians have power to channel a death to someone else evil, instead of him or his children even if they were meant to die. Proverbs 21:18, "The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the unfaithful for the upright."
If you are in trouble as a child of God, and you know that you are truly a child of God; you can activate the Law of Devine Substitution. Do not be afraid to pray like this: "Lord, all what I did against you I repent. May your wroth fall to those who are wicked; to those who are not doing your will. Let this cloud of death which is upon me and my family fall upon one of the families who are not doing your will; those who are sinning against you. Lord I am not worthy of death, but sinners are. In Jesus name I pray. Amen!"
What about praying like this? "Lord, my God. I need a Managing Director's position in that company. I pray oh Lord; the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to remove a sinner who occupies that position and put me in it. In Jesus name I pray!" Do not mention anyone's name when you pray. It is against the law of this world to mention someone's name. God knows the person who is supposed to give way for his chosen ones.
As you ask God for a certain job occupied by a sinner, make sure that you also have relevant qualifications for that job. Donnot pray for the removal of someone whereas you are not qualified for the job. God can replace a sinner with a sinner due to the qualifications they have.
Most Christians are lazy to empower themselves with education and they think they will just be employed only by faith. James 2:17, "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."
Certain prayers might not work in a life of a Christian. There are certain prayers for certain situations in a life of a Christian. It is the time that Christians take a stand and pray "war fare" prayers; the prayers that activates the "Law of Devine Substitution". You need to use the right ammunition for your breakthrough to be manifested. Is your AK 47 having the right bullets? Is your prayer having the right ammunitions?
When your enemies are coming against you, know how to pray. Insert the rightful bullets and with confidence, direct them to your enemy. 11 Thessalonians 1:6, "Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you."
Let us hear how David pray in the book of Psalm 69:22-28, "May the table set before them become a snare; may it become retribution and trap. May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever. Pour out your wrath on them; let your fierce anger overtake them. May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents. For they persecute those you wound and talk about the pain of those you hurt. Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in your salvation. May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righeous." Angry scriptures!
A person's life can be exchanged for another! Daniel 3:22-23, "The King's command was so urgent and the furnance so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnance."
What happened here was that, the three soldiers lives were exchanged for the lives of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. This confirms the scripture in the book of 1 Chronicles 16:22, "Do not touch my annointed ones; do my prophets no harm."
Lets hear what happend to Daniel. Daniel 6:24, "At the King's command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown int the lion's den, along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones." The story of Daniel proves beyond doubt that God is faithful to those who fear Him. Daniel was meant to die, instead the men who falsely accused Him with their families died in their place. How good is our God? This is a challenge to the children of God.
The second fact is; "A Man's Destiny Can Be Exchanged for Another". That is true!
Esther 2:21-23, "During the time that Mordecai held office in the palace, Bigthana and Teresh, two of the palace eunuch who guarded the entrance to the King's rooms, became hostile to King Xerxes and plotted to assassinate him. Mordecai learnt about it and told Queen Esther, who then told the King what Mordecai had found out. There was an invistigation, and it was discouvered that the report was true, so both men were hanged on the gallows. The King ordered an account of this to be written down in the official records of the empire."
Let us look at the same book of Esther 3:1-2, "Some time later King Xerxes promoted a man named Haman to the position of a prime minister. Haman was the son of Hammedatha, a descendant of Agag. The King ordered all the officials in the service to show their respect for Haman by kneeling and bowing to him. They all did so, except for Mordecai, who refused to do so."
The third fact is; "A man's brain can be exchanged for another." Yes it is true.
Remember Nebuchadnezar! Daniel 4:31-33, "Before the words were of his mouth, a voice spoke from heaven, 'King Nebuchadnezar, listen to what I say! Your royal power is now taken away from you. You will be driven away from from human society, live with wild animals, and eat grass like an ox for seven years. Then you will acknowledge that the Supreme God has power over human kingdoms and that he can give them to anyone he chooses. The words came true immediately.' Nebuchadnezar was driven out of human society and ate grass like an ox. The dew fell on his body, and his hair grew as long as eagles' feathers and his nails as long as birds' claws."
The fourth fact is; "Somebody's problems can be transferred to someone else." That is true.
11 Kings 5:27, "And now Naaman's disease will come upon you, and you and you descendants will have it forever. When Gehazi left, he had the disease - his skin was a white as snow."
Proverbs 11:8, "The righteous is delivered from trouble, and it comes to the wicked instead."
Zachariah 13:6, "Then if someone asks him, 'What are those wounds on your chest?' he will answer, 'I got them from a friend's house.'"
Psalm 41:9, "Even my own friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me."
Matthews 10:34, "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword."
Revelations 13:7, "It was granted to him to make war with the Saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and action.
Chapter 4
Facing the enemy in the market place
What is the market place? It is anywhere where there is an exchange of money for goods, labour, life and visa vesa. It is a centre of your life and activities.
Most of our lives are spent in the market place. It is where dog eats dog. It is where only the fittest survives. It is in the market place where the devil has built his own stronghold on earth.
Everyone meets in the market place to grab a slice of bread for survival. They meet in this place to gather something to make a living for their families. some are just striving to make a mere a living, and some to make a decent living.
Think about workers in a bus going to work early in the morning. It can be by a taxi or by a train. You come accross different people in different proffessions, and in different positions. Amongst them are doctors, teachers, nurses, sportsmen and women, police officers, prostitutes, priests, witches and wizards, witch doctors, thieves, devil worshipers, false prophets, prophets, criminals and the list is endless. All these in that transport system are aheading to the market place to fight for the successes in different ways. They also want to enhance their status.
I am very certain that these people's beliefs differs in many ways. Some of them were steaming with all sort of substances the previous night subscribed to them by their witchdoctors; and some had consulted with the elders and ancestors for promotions at work; some had consulted with fortune tellers to in search for their future; Some were moving naked the whole night as a way of achieving their riches in the market place.
Some had murdered their children and are carrying their body parts to work win the battle; some are carrying lucky vaseline all the way to their businesses. Yes! That is how cruel the market place. They all want to achieve something; either jobs, promotions, win court cases; to be succesful in the planned armed robbery, to succeed in their revenge plan and some to defeat their opponents. All is happening in this place of survival. Some are going to work in good faith, but the aim is to survive in the market place.
If you are a child of God you need to launch a spiritual war fare battle. Christians are ignorant because they lack knowledge. The war in the market place is tense and nothing is compromised. There are no favours in the market place. You either die or live. It is a win-lose situation. There is no time to bless ane another because everybody's will is to survive.
Why Christians always blesses everyone at any given time? They praise even their toughest opponents and enemies. They eat anything they are given, and they visit anyone who invites them. They accept to be touched or prayed for by anyone. Hey Christians! Your enemies or your opponents may use food for your downfall; your footsteps might become your death source; your blessings to your enemy may withdraw curses for you and demons can flourish in your life if you allow anyone to touch you.
If you are a Christian, it is your full responsibilty to evangelise to the lost. By so doing you will be able to decrease and minimise the alters of the devil. We will be able to raise and multiply prayer worriers in our society. This is to breakdown the stronghold of the devil.
Pray for more priesthood and pastors in your community. These annointed servants of God has a responsibilty to pray for the children of God and deliver them from the bondages of the enemy.
Christians should launch a strong attack against the alters of the devil created to destroy the children of God. The battle of life is the battle of alters. Most Christians are not succesful because certain alters had been creaated against them. It can be alters of curses within the family. Some Christians are not married; their wives or husbands are married to wrong men of the world. Some Christians are penniless whereas their millions are owned by someone eveil somewhere. Their lives are held back in the alters.
The old testament put it clear. If you take a claer note, everything pertaning life and death was perfomed on the alters. Blood of the animals was shared on the alters. It was either to give thanks to God or for the cleansing of their sins. This means that, spiritual cleansing was done on alters. Abraham himself was required to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice to God on the alter.
Genesis 22:2, "Then God said, 'Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.'"
An alter is a meeting place. People control from alters. Things are controlled from alters. Things are happening on alters. It is a place where human lives battles spiritually.
It is clear that the lives of many Christians are held back in alters. Break down the alters of the devill! Bring them down! Break down the alters of the enemy for you to move forward with your life.
Christians you must increase discipleship in your territory. You need to recruit more people who will serve in the house of God. We must have intercessors amongst the disciples, evangelists, healers and other ddepartments in the house of the Lord.
You need to launch cells and multiply cell groups in our territories. We do not have to compromise this department. It is very important because you are bringing the gospel closer to the people. We are living in the market place where the devil has created his stronghold on earth; and he wants to control the market place; he wants to be above the children of God.
Chapter 5
Fight back
The market place is not only the place of money, but of warfare. You need to deal with alters assigned against you.
Jeremiah 1:10, "Today I give you authority over nations and kingdoms to uproot and to pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant."
You have power to uproot! You the child of God. You were given power to uproot! You have power to overcome the enemy. You have authority over life and death; over success and failure. Stop lazying around Christians. It is you or you are not. If you are, then you will stamp your authority.
Your inheritance and prosperity is in your hands; that are milk and honey; health and welth. What you need is to stamp your authority. Fight back!
Do not sit back! Start prayer groups in your work place. Pray against your enemies; break down their force of strength.
If you are promoted at your work place and given a new office, do not just occupy that office before uprooting the alters of the previous office user. Pray for each and every corner at your place of work. Use tea breaks and lunch hours for your prayer meetings. Be prayerful. Destroy the alters of the enemy by all means and raise the alter unto the Lord our God. You must activate the Law of Devine Substitution.
Joshua 1:5, "Joshua, no one will be able to defeat you as long as you live. I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will always be with you; I will never abandon you."
God's promises stands even today. God is with His children wherever they are. Do not permit defeat at the edge of your breakthrough. How many times you were stopped at an almost situation, at an obvious stage? Many a time. "Eesh... almost there!" It has become a habit for you to live an "eesh" life. "The devil has done this; the devil has done that!" you are always complaining. Yes the devil is interferring in your life, but you have power to sking him alive. Enough is eneough. Fight back!
Chapter 6
Sinners gift is God's wroth
Sinners must work for nothing according to the scripture. Christians must benefit from what belongs to their Father God. Sinners have no right whatsover to inherit what belongs to God.
Ecclesiastes 2:26, "God gives wisdom, knowledge and hapiness to those who please him, but he make sinners to work, earnings and saving, so that what they get can be given to those who please him. It is all useless. It is like chasing the wind."
God's anger falls on those who does not believe in him. John 3:36, "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whosoever disobeys the Son will not have life, but will remain under God's punishment." This means that, untimely death must fall on sinners.
The devil owns nothing, hencee his followers must get nothing. God is the owner of the Universe and every thing in it. Psalm 24:1, "The world and all that is in it belong to the Lord; the earth and all who live on it are His." Haggai 2:8, "All the silver and gold of the world is mine."
God emphasizes His ownership on earth. Psalms 50:10-11, "All animals in the forest are mine and the cattle on thousands of hills. All the wild birds are mine and all living things in the fields."
Everything belongs to God. Whatever belongs to God belongs to His children. Sinners has no right to access the inheritance that belongs only to the children of God.
John 8:4, "You are the childrenn of your father, the devil, and you want to follow your father's desires. From the very beginning he was a murderer and has never been on the side of truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is only doing what is natural to him, because he is a liar and the father of lies!" This means the devil's children has no right to the things of God.
But God's children have found favour in his sight. Romans 8:15, "For the Spirit that God has given you does not make you slaves and cause you to be afraid; instead, the Spirit makes you God's children, and by the Spirit's power we cry out to God, 'Father! my Father!"
Romans 8:17, "Since we are His children, we will possess the blessings he keeps for His people, and we will also possess with Christ what God has kept fo him; for if we share Christ's suffering, we will also share his glory."
Pray for anything you want to your Father God. Speak to God as if you are speaking to your earthly father. Make sure that in the market place all positions are occupied by Christians; from the top position of the president to the lowest post. Pray that God remove all the sinners and replace them with His children. Proverbs 11:8, "Lord those who are righteous are freed and be exchanged by sinners."
Chapter 7
Identify your land
Lets us look closely at God's promises to His children. Joshua 1:1-9, "after the death of the Lord's servant Moses, the Lord spoke to Moses' helper, Joshua sson of Nun.
"He said, "My servant is dead. Get ready now, you and all the people of Israel, and cross the River Jordan into the land that I am giving them.
"As I told Moses, I have given you and all my people the entire land that you will be marching over.
"Your borders will reach from the desert in the south to the Lebanon Mountains in the north; from the great River Euphrates in the east, through the Hittite country, to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.
"Joshua, no one will be able to defeat you as long as you live. I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will always be with; i will never abandon you.
"Be determined and confident, for you will be the leader of these people as they occupy this land which I promised their.
"Just be determined, be confident; and make sure that you obey the whole Law that my servant Moses gave you. Do not neglect any part of it and you will succeed wherever you go.
"Be sure that the book of the Law is always read in your worship. Study it day and night, and make sure that you obey everything written in it. Then you will be proseperous and successful.
"Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident! Don't be afraid or discouraged, for I, the Lord your God, am with you wherever you go."
The above scripture gives us assurity about the God''s promises to His children. His promises remains the same from one promised generation to another.
God will always remind you of the promise He made to you or to your ancestors. God will also warn you of the challenges ahead.
You need to identify your land as a Christian. Many Christians have wasted their time on other people's land due to the fact that there are not sure of their callings.
If you are a Christian, it is important to know of your calling. What are you called to do? What is your gift? Know your gift. This will help you to enhance it. You will be able to enhance it through prayers; then through education; and you will also know the type of people you will network with.
It is imporatnt that you are well informed about the day to day activities; study very hard; listen the news; read the newspapers; browse the internet. Eduaction is very important. the devil is so trick in such a way that he is so well updated and knowledgeable. He also use technology to dispower God's children.
Get eduacted child of God. That position is occupied by a learnered sinner. To get rid of him, you need to be well qualified and to apply the Law of Devine Substitution. Gone are the days when lazy people will get to pastoral positions. Today's pastors are graduates. We still want to see more pastors and evangelists; and members of the church having degrees and masters; doctorate and honours in the different fields.
Stop wasting your time in somebody else's land. "You can climb the ladder of success, but only to findout that it is leaning on the wrong wall." Steven Leof.
Why are you busy doing what you were not called to do? Luke10:42, "But only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will no be taken away form her."
Christians always want to take by faith they need to take by force. James2:8, "But someone will say, "One person has faith, another has actions." My answer is, "Show me how anyone can have faith without actions. I will show you my faith by my actions."
It is true that faaith alone without actions is dead. Whatever land God give you is not empty. Numbers 13:22-29
Joshua 13:12, "
