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.

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.

Leadership is simply described by many as influence; and that a person is said to be leading when he or she has an influence with or over a people or person. Leadership is also perceived as the process of taking a people or an organization from a point to another point. Field Marshall Montgomery says “Leadership is the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose, and the character which inspires confidence.” In the words of Dr. J. Robert Clinton, “Leadership is a dynamic process in which a man or woman with God-given capacity influences a specific group of God’s people towards His purpose for the group.”

Apparently, leadership is about process, about people and about personalities; but more importantly, leadership is for a purpose! When it now has to do with spiritual leadership, this issue is not easier or simpler, but rather; a more demanding, stretching and transforming process that is instituted by God Himself in His will to impact His people through men. The truth is spiritual leadership is all about God and His people; however it is executed though visible men and women in every generation.

Spiritual leadership originates in God and is sustained only by God. Therefore, spiritual leadership is for God! However, there is a difference between ministry and spiritual leadership; and that you are a minister of God does not translate into spiritual leadership among men. God ultimately birth spiritual leaders and He sustains them. Spiritual leadership is not about titles; neither is it about positions or popularity. The question then is; what is spiritual leadership? And who is a spiritual leader?

For the purpose of this book, we should be adopting working definition for the two terms:

"Spiritual leadership is the representation and enforcement of God’s will among men; impacting the people of God with the purpose, power, wisdom, glory and honour of God.

Spiritual leadership can also be described as the process of standing and speaking for God among men; forging alliance between God and the people towards accomplishing a common purpose on the earth."

Spiritual leader is therefore the man or woman who represents and reflects God’s purpose and personality on the earth. The off-shoot of this definition is that, you do not need to be called a pastor by people to be a spiritual leader; neither do you need some form of organizational structure and infrastructure to function as a leader on the earth under God. John Stanko wrote a book, “So many leaders, so few leadership”; which suggests that the world does not lack leaders; but true spiritual leaders. A people in pursuit of God’s purpose among men.

This book is written under the leadership of God to help a boy, girl, woman or man become the spiritual leader that his or her generation has been yearning for. This book reveals the process that true spiritual leaders passes through, before they become entities that accurately represents God and reflects His purpose among men (in their offices, schools, families, communities, nations and generations).

Digest this book carefully, and meditate on the counsels in it as you proceed systematically into the phases in spiritual leadership. Happy reading!

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

Marriage is for a purpose in the heart of God; however, fulfilling the purpose requires suitability of the woman to the man. I believe that every man is built with some deliberate needs or gaps, which every woman is designed accurately to meet or fill up. Some days ago, my Wife published some articles on Understanding in Marriage, she noted emphatically that "there are no perfect couples, but couples that understood themselves perfectly." If we take it from there, we could say that God did not create "supermen", but He created women to make men appear super! 

Your wife is built to cover up your own deficiencies; if you therefore despise her simplicity or willingness to help, your folly will be clear to all. Do you remember the story of Nabal and Abigail? That man was a fool, yet, he was married to a wise woman. Will you call that a coincidence or a mistake? None of the two I believe! Nabal was rich, but was also foolish; you might then ask, "how did the fool gather up enough money or wealth?" Then, I will remind you that he had a wise wife! The question then is, "how was Nabal perceived by the people in the city?" I believe that he was seen as a wise rich man! However, when he began to make decision without the help of his wise wife, his folly became more pronounced to the point that his wife could no longer cover it up, but make it a public knowledge.

In marriage, faults, mistakes, weaknesses and blames are to be covered. And that is why the Scriptures say that love does not parade itself, nor seeks its own. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8). When a woman brings her gifts, skills, passion, drive, submission, focus, dedication, faith, hope and care to the table of any man; such a man becomes bigger and larger. In short, women are the special gifts of God to men to cover their nakedness. 

However, no woman can correctly fulfill her own purpose in marriage if she is not correctly suited for the man; and if she is not cleaved to the man. You see, some women are gifted, blessed and humble; however, their relevance and value is more tilted towards their earlier families. Every marriage is about total leaving for cleaving. Whenever any couple refuses to leave completely to cleave completely, the marriage suffers from the shame of nakedness and purposelessness
