The 17 Success Partners is not just another book on the success corners of book shelves; but the inspired truth as the sure guide for any man or woman that desire success.

This book, "Recovering Your Dominion" is not just another book to be added to the library stock for the sake of adding new books: For it is the book inspired by the Holy Spirit to usher each body of Christ into true dominion on this earth. As we know, corporate success is not always equal to individual success - that the Universal Church of Christ is enjoying dominion, does not imply that each member of the Church - across denominations is enjoying the same dominion. I have seen multitudes attending various growing an thriving churches; whose lives are nothing close to the glory, power, riches, strength, honour, blessing, and wisdom of their churches. Therefore, the matter of dominion is not necessarily a corporate goal in the heart of God; but an individual thing. And as we know, what is called church is not a denomination or building; but a people - a people called out. Hence, a group of defeated, oppressed, and weak individuals, would necessarily culminates into a defeated, oppressed and weak church.

that He might present her to Himself a glorious Church; not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

Ephesians 5:27

Christ is not coming for a struggling Church; but a dominant Church - a church in dominion over flesh (self), pride, sin, money, fame, adultery, backbiting, etc. And really, we cannot continue to hide under the glory of denominations; nor can we forever hide under the holiness, faith, power, influence, and prayers of General Overseers, Founders, Presidents, Senior Pastors, Primates, Bishops, Prophets, etc. For every believer in Christ is expected to walk in dominion on the earth.

But this is a people robbed and plundered; all of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prison houses; they are for prey, and no one delivers; for plunder, and no one says, "Restore!"

Isaiah 42:22

If you can take this; then I speak, "This book is not just another book; but it is God's voice for the restoration of dominion to everybody (individual believer) of Christ". As you read on, I trust that the Spirit of Christ will fill you with revelation for your total transformation and translation into practical dominion on this earth in Jesus name. Amen!

To many people, "Life isn't fair!" While I am not claiming that statement is fair enough; I must add that life gives no man what he or she desires; but what he or she deserves. Our desires notwithstanding, we are very likely to become great, known or significant to the degree of our willingness to become all we were created and fabricated to become.

Quite a great number of people around the world yearns to become just like a woman, man, philanthropist or neighbour outthere; yet, failing to become themselves. We strive to become like other people or groups; abandoning our own selves in the process; and making other's strengths the measure of our own strengths.

I have found out that no man can become better than the fishes inside water; and no man or device or jet can maneuver the airspace better than the birds.The point is, there is a man or woman you were created to become; there is a place you were assigned and your authority is tied to that location. Therefore, you will wonder through life, still wondering why you can't be great if you choose a life or a place different from your God-given.

One reason why competitions aren't encouraged by God is simple. It is difficult to compete with another's strength with your own weakness. Each one of us has been carefully crafted for specialized excellence and creativity. However, until we know our individual makeup and seek to grow our special skills, talents, abilities and strengths; we will continue looking for praises from others, which will never come outside our own domain of authority on earth.

If you put a shark in a lion's den; you will hurt the shark greatly - its size notwithstanding. If you also put a lion into the domain of a shark in an ocean; you have destroyed the life and destiny of that lion. You also have places that can destroy your life and destiny. You must avoid them. Also, trying to become like others will soon destroy you. Until you find yourself and work hard to become your best; you will not be fulfilled.

Your Seven has been carefully crafted by the leading of the Lord to help you find yourself and your space of authority and influence on the earth. Don't get fixed to the limitations of the words of this book; allow God to inspire your thought to unravel the countless mysteries around your total makeup. Make this book a guide for a full exploration of yourself – giving it all the attention required and the patience expected for understanding of concepts in this book. Remember, you will not know more than you knew yesterday until you choose to learn something new today. This book will teach you something new and guide you through the journey of finding yourself and your domain of authority on earth.

Undoubtedly, multitudes in our world today are clear about the truth (not fact) that God is the Creator and Maker of heaven (the invisible realm) and the earth (visible realm); but what many are not sure about is whether He (the maker of all) rules in the affairs of men! Many today are vague about who determines the end of all things - fate or God? And some even believe that man evolved overtime in history; hence, the end of man will also be a product of his evolutions.

This book however is inspired by the Spirit of God to bring light to the darkness of our thoughts and conceptions, to help us see how some have taken “responsibility” for their disarrayed and disgruntled end. We would see how it is easy for a servant sent by the master to overturn the purpose of his errand in the pursuit of his own plans. And we would see how the clays speak and gesture to their potter to allow them to be different from what they were originally designed to be.

The truth is, man is not a robot that has no will or ambition. For an average person is full of ideas of possible ways of living and doing. However, as we know that man can only determine his choices, as his choices always determine his end. Therefore, to have the most enviable end - the one that is not subject to evolution, chance or accidental happenings, everyone must know the given or possible stairs that guarantees a safe trip to his or her destiny.

Life is widely described among other things as a journey, and being a journey, it necessarily has the place or point of origin and the point or place of destination or ending. And really, in spite of anyone’s wishes or thoughts, no man can follow a wrong path and still intend to arrive at his predetermined destination. Even so, anyone that desires a fulfilled destiny in life must not be given to chance or accidental choices, but a purpose- driven choice.

This book is therefore placed in your hands by God to guarantee your safe and successful trip into your own predestined end in life - for what is the end of life when its purpose is ignored or abused. Hence, a guide is now in your hands to help you navigate straight into your assigned destination by God; in order not to become like a man, who was not enlisted for a 100m dash, but a 200m race. However, he preferred 100m dash and was disqualified for non-enlistment. And at the 200m race, he was marked absent, what a woeful ending!

 Therefore, do not waste your life living the life of others or trying to be what people want you to be, but identify your own destiny-bound path (choices) and follow it (make them). For only then can your fulfilled destiny be secured and successful. I trust that this book will bless you only when you read it with an open mind and an expectation for change of course. God bless you as you read on carefully.

In the fast going world we are today, everyone is either pursuing one thing or the other; workers pursuing promotion and salary increment, politicians pursuing key positions in the country, students pursuing excellence in their studies and so on. As good as those scenarios sounds to us, we still need to sit down for a while and ask ourselves some salient questions, “Am I pursuing the right things at this stage or time of my life?”; “Am I pursuing what I am pursuing in life with understanding and good judgment? Or “Am I simply chasing a dead rat or a flying eagle?

MAN IN A DESTINY FULFILLMENT PURSUIT talks about the journey of every man in life; Where we start our journeys from; and how to complete that journey successfully achieving all our pursuits, so that we will not all be caught living as chameleons in our neighbourhoods, workplaces, schools, etc.; trying to suit our environments well; not giving attention to our individual differences– which actually talks about  the uniqueness of our purpose, identity and potentials.

It is also worthy of note that as the explanation on Life varies, so also the understanding that each one has on how to live a fulfilled life. Now, let us borrow some insight from what goes on in the business world. Unarguably, the larger the demand for a given commodity or product; the larger the amount of the product that the supplier or producer will be eager to bring to the marketplace.

Consequentially, products that are highly demanded by customers often attract other producers who are not the inventor, but imitators and they flood the market. In most cases, these imitators know only a part in the production process of such products; which results in them releasing substandard products to the market. No matter how smart these imitators are, they can never know the product like the real inventors. Issues that revolve around quality, true maintenance, effective after-sales services, as a matter of general rule can only be best handled by the real producers or inventors.

While the imitators can claim some idea on the product; often times, sellers of these products do not have sound professional knowledge of the product. And whatever knowledge of the product they possess; it is limited to the amount of information that the real inventor releases per time. Though the numerous sellers and imitators may claim a reasonable knowledge of the product; the truth still remains that the most reliable and in-depth information about any product, lies with the original inventor of it.

Life, although given various interpretations or explanations by various people, authorities, and gurus, its true meaning and essence, can only be revealed by the real originator of life. Strategic Living is an inspired manual for everyone who desires true understanding of life; understanding of the purpose of his or her living; understanding of the proven principles of life and the tips for fulfilled living.

Truly, life is more than eating, drinking, sleeping, and dying. It could not have been for such. I am of the opinion that life is too important to the Originator to design it just for eating, drinking and probably, sleeping. Hence, this book is written to play the role of a guide for you, even as you make significant efforts towards living your life to the fullest  fulfilled living. I trust that this piece will unveil some hidden truths to you; such that your living henceforth will be an informed and fulfilled one.

Really, life is too important to be misunderstood, misconceived and mismanaged; and your decision to take up this book is a strong step towards a fulfilled living. Settle it in your heart that your Creator and Maker has inspired this book to help you die empty, having maximized all your potentials on the earth.

Strategic Living is a purpose discovery and destiny fulfillment guide on your palms. As it has been said, "there is no accidental success", which implies that all good performances are products of good and effective efforts. If life is important to you as I suppose; then, your life deserves a guide or a coach, and this book is designed as a reliable and resourceful manual for you to bank on for a true successful living.
