The Battle of Destination is a book that transcends human understanding and comprehension to reveal to us the eternal truth and mystery that has been hidden from past generations. Every day, we are on the battlefront waging war not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, rulers, imaginations and thoughts: that have exalted themselves above the knowledge of Christ. The invisible battle that we fight on a per second, minute, hourly and daily  basis have left a lot with bruises, severe wounds, put a lot of people in the state of coma (comatose) and many have lost their lives to these battles.

Every man born into the world comes into this invisible battle and strife to survive. Unfortunately, many have devised several means that they have passed on

from generation to generation in this battle. The battle front tactics differs from race to race, people to people, nation to nation, language to language, but the result of it all is the same DEATH.

God’s truth is the only infallible tool that can present and to deliver life, as a victory sentence to anyone on this battlefront. It is not a product of how good, powerful or wise you are, that can guarantee you victory.

Every day, we ALL journey to a destination, consciously or unconsciously. The tools that make for progressing either of the ways, we choose to go is ALL within. God will be opening our eyes to see and to understand-where we need to go, what we need as we journey towards this destination and how to get there.

From Book Foreword

God is the Pioneer of discipleship; therefore the task of writing a foreword for a book like this requires a humble approach. The reason is because Christian Discipleship is not man’s idea; it is exclusively God’s pattern for bringing men into the fullness and reality of His purpose, plan and possessions. That’s why discipleship is a journey and not just an encounter. It is a journey full of Mount Zion encounters. But it has a goal beyond an encounter. Discipleship is the making process of kings in God’s kingdom. Jesus is not the King of slaves. He is the King of kings. Hence, discipleship is a journey of raising men like Jesus on earth. 

 So this book in your hand, Journey of Discipleship, is a scripturally sound and practical destiny transforming resource that reveals the unadulterated, untainted and unmodified mind of God about His agenda towards raising people as His image and representatives on earth.

Christian Discipleship is not a new thing to the Church of Christ. Over the years, countless books have been written about it, programmes have been organized around it, curriculums have been designed and many people are carrying about the certificates that show they are graduates of discipleship. But the truth is, if these achievements are what discipleship is all about, there will be no need for this book to be written.

This is not just another book about discipleship. It is a book the Holy Spirit has inspired to correct the missing factor in our understanding of discipleship by taking us to the origin of Christian Discipleship. It also reveals that true and genuine discipleship as given by the Lord is progressive. Discipleship is a journey and not a course. Discipleship is a Journey with the Lord Jesus Christ through whom we follow the pathway that leads to our original status in God.

            Journey of Discipleship is not optional. It is compulsory for those who desire to maximize their God-given lives to the fullest. You cannot live your best life except you take this journey. I strongly believe that God has prepared this book through my brother, GboyegaAdedeji who himself is a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ to show us the what, why, where, when and how of this journey.

            According to Luke 6:20, “Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples and said, “Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.”

It is my prayer that the Lord will use this book to draw your heart into the blessing awaiting those who will respond to the journey of discipleship with Christ, the way my heart has been drawn in Jesus name.

The word of the Lord to you is, “You are blessed…For yours is the kingdom of God.”

Yours in the journey of discipleship with Christ,

If you have spent some few minutes with some corporate consultants; then, you must have heard or overheard the word called PEST. Actually, it is not a word as such, but an acronym, which stands for Political, Economic, Social and Technological environment those corporate organizations carryout their business objectives.

 

The consultants believe that peak corporate performance requires that each organization understands its working environments - Political, Economic, Social and Technological. Thinking that organizational efficiency (in terms of resource management) and effectiveness (in terms of meeting objectives) is only possible when an organization understands and responds to its environmental demands promptly and properly.

The church today has become more endangered by the environmental forces of this world-PEST; to the extent that the church is no longer bothered about effectiveness; but efficiency. It is said that people usually do what people see; hence, the church is becoming gradually assimilated into the shapes, styles, systems and struggles of her environment.

Thus, since understanding is necessary for any accurate response to one's environmental demands and challenges; the LORD is keen on helping His church to know what she must know and must do; while she is on the earth. In addition, this book is not written to discourage or frustrate anyone; but to relay the voice of the Spirit to the church on matters pertaining to her identity, her purpose and her potentials.

Truly, the numbers of men does not move the devil; but the number of men that carry the Spirit of Christ everywhere they go always frustrates him. so, through this book - Structural Disorderliness And The Destiny Of The Church - the Spirit of Christ Jesus shall be taking His church, breaking her, moulding her and using her in unusual ways on the earth. Be open to the voice of God over the letters of the book - be ready for a major SHIFT - be ready to fulfill your purpose on the earth as a part of God's people on the earth.
