This book suggests an appropriate and wholistic measure in tackling the perennial problems associated with poverty, dehumanisation and lack of respect for human dignity amongst rural communities of Africa. Dr. Tanimu Saminaka describes how Integrated Rural Community Sustainable Development (IRCSD) plays a significant role in shaping the way we think about the poor, and vulnerable Africans towards ensuring that, the dignity of Africans are transformed, reclaimed and recovered for appropriate community development. The book discloses that, Africa is largely rural and agriculture is the main stay of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Both men and women in Africa are involved in agriculture in the areas of rearing of animals (particularly women folks) and soil cultivation. Poverty, brokenness and lack of respect for human dignity for a sustainable development are problems this book significantly reveals. Dr. Tanimu stresses the fact that a proper understanding and the application of God's Word and a change of attitude is a possible antidote toward reclaiming, recovering and transforming of human dignity and respect for Africans across gender and race. The author holds that no meanningful development can ever take place and succeed without involving God in it. It must therefore be wholistic and people-centered. Dr Tanimu should be commended for bringing theological perspectives to bear on the search for solutions to problems of underdevelopment and disregard for human lives in Africa.-----Dr Timothy TserorPresident, Hephzibah Revival Ministries, Worldwide
This little book is a collection of messages on Discipleship Training in Holy Ghost School recorded at Right hand of the LORD Fellowship, Egbe- Lagos, Nigeria.It happened that I was discipled by two ministers of God: Rev. Joses Hizkiah of Unfailing Life Ministries and Prophet Lambert Eze Okafor of LaFAMCALL (End-Time) Ministries. After this, I forgot about the training and continued in my former method of ministration as I could not pick up the teaching immediately. It was at this juncture of stalemate or deadlock that the LORD quickened me one day to start on the teaching on Holy Ghost Discipleship by faith that the inspiration came to start putting down in writing as the LORD started to help me along.After a considerable number of lessons, the directive came from the LORD to compile the messages into a leaflet for discipling members of the fellowship.

Title of this booklet is: UNDERSTANDING MY CREATIVE IDENTITY.¿It is the second in the Daughters of Sarah Ministry Eight (8) volume SPIRITUAL IDENTITY THEFT series, which begins with: INTRODUCING SPIRITUAL IDENTITY THEFT(Volume 1) and concludes with: THE NEED FOR TRAINING(VOLUME 8). SPIRITUAL IDENTITY THEFT SERIES. VOLUME TITLE. 1 INTRODUCING SPIRITUAL IDENTITY THEFT ¿. 2 UNDERSTANDING MY CREATIVE IDENTITY ¿. 3 PREFERRED VS AUTHENTIC IDENTITY ¿. 4 APPRECIATING MY RECREATED IDENTITY ¿. 5 TARGETED THREAT ¿. 6 WINNING STRATEGIES ¿. 7 THE EMPOWERED IDENTITY ¿. 8 THE NEED FOR TRAINING ¿¿It is very important for every person to know, understand and operate within his/her God given identity, yet the matter of true identity is one of the most ignored and misunderstood among Christians today. So many are making choices based on their preferences or feelings instead of the truth as revealed in the Scriptures.Amid the confusion in the world today, it is clear that the Christians; especially Christian youths are targeted. Many are losing their spiritual identity in the market place and operating in the flesh just as the unbelieving youths. We must focus on knowing our identity in Christ and training others to boldly stand with the knowledge of this unshaken identity in Christ in order to resist the pressures to conform to the mould of the world. This is 'True Empowerment'! The Church should be about the business of empowering the emerging leaders for the glory of God.¿
Pant O'Mine describes how our daily experiences are used as tools to draws us closer to the discovery, pursuit and realization of our life's purpose.Pant O' mine (Pant of Mine) was inspired from the book of Psalms 42:1- as the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee.Using the lives of the two main characters, it vividly described the regular hustles of undergraduates in a Nigerian university.It addressed sub themes such as dangers of abortion, peer pressure, poor self image and seeking the approval of others above self.All of these sub themes were creatively weaved into one central idea of how God uses challenges, his word, his spirit and individual talents as pointers to our purpose.Ultimately, When we find God, we then discover that we were created for a course that is bigger than us which will eventually outlive us. The discovery of this course and the unique role we're meant to play in it forms the basis of our life's experiences.
Sex in God's Temple - 15 Easy Ways to Understand, Identify and Overcome Sexual Immorality and Emotional Traps in Your Life was written as a practical "how to" book to help you end sexual and emotional entanglement forever.What is my motivation for writing this book, why would you want to read it and apply it to your life?The Motivation: The incidence of believers becoming trapped in destructive entanglements seems to have increased and continues to be a source of pain and heartache for singles and families alike. Sexual immorality knows no boundaries. Its insidious influence has spread into institutions and homes of well-intended people who seek to live moral, Christian lives. The internet with all its goodies does not help matters at all. The internet has made the private consumption of illicit material possible through one's home computer or mobile device (Phone). Young and old alike can access not only pornography but also engage in virtual emotional relationship with complete strangers on the other side of the world. Even if physical contact never occurs, the damage to a marriage can be devastating when the online relationship becomes enticingly important to one of the spouses. Children, Young and old, missionaries, pastors, or lay members are not immune to the invasion of pornographic content on devices that leaves images which usually lingers to the point of getting entrapped. I have been called to advise on types of software that could help prevent these invaders from taking in more casualties. The television and movies continue to expose viewers to ever more tantalizing images and content that can draw us further into compromising lifestyles.We have engaged Christian authors that have proven scriptural practical solutions to avoid the pitfalls of sexual immorality. There are also real life stories that we can learn from in charting our own course. I have also realized from my own experiences after over 25 years of my Christian journey that rarely do we teach about sexual matters from our pulpit. Yet our homes, which is the bedrock of society have suffered untold consequences as a result of the issue of sexual and emotional entrapment and entanglement either in marriages, outside marriages, in schools, in our offices or our marketplaces and in the environment giving birth to Mee Too Movements, Gender Inequality struggles, Sex for Marks in our Universities, Sex for promotions in the workplace, Sex for Transfer, Sex for privileges, Sex for Contracts etc. These developments come as a shock to many believers who are ill-prepared to handle such enormous temptations they have to endure which has led them to become victims of workplace pressures. There is a need for mentorship on this subject matter. The Why you would want to read it: It is written to help anyone, especially Christians struggling secretly or publicly with any form of sexual immorality and emotional traps. None of us are immune from the temptations surrounding us.
This is a message from the far country. It is meant for the world; read by millions; believed by the humble; prayed about by the wise. Though, sea shall be crossed and island explored; though knowledge shall multiply and wisdom form a pyramid, yet every soul shall outlive the sun, and the human spirit will never sail intoextinction. In a country, in a year, in a day in a place, the body and the soul shall separate. No complaint, no excuse, no appeal, no lawyer, when our souls shall answer the home - call of God. The beautiful for the ugly earth, the high for the dust below, dust back to the dust, but the soul flies away. The last drama is for the deceased to sit quietly as if alive under the word "Obituary" and be honoured with '''Late" the 4-letter title that follows his name for the rest of eternity, to tell every man who can read that he was once a dweller of this patched land. We are fragile and limited. We are all birds of passage. We are accorded but with a fleeting glory.My humble reader, arise, the sun is setting and darkness is coming, take advantage and grasp opportunity. It has been religion all the while, now it's time for true salvation, now is making holiness your heartbeat. Get enlisted for heaven while salvation is cheap and your spirit is willing
One of the most fearful prophecies of the end time is about to be fulfilled, that is, the prophecy about a ONE-WORLD RELIGION - when all religions and various cults will come together to implement a world wide Satanic worship! At that time, true believers in Christ will be in great danger through unprecedented persecutions that will be carried out by all nations of the earth (Matthew 24:9). At that hour too the love of many Christians will wax cold through increased anti-Christ activities (Matthew 24:12). However, those who have knowledge and are prepared in advance will overcome (Daniel 11:32). How should believers prepare? These things are urgent!.. .For the Mystery of Iniquity is already at work... (2Thessalonians2:7).
God works in miraculous ways. He enabled the Israelites to cross the Red Sea on a dry ground. He pulled down the walls of Jericho without any bulldozer. Indeed, He is a God who makes way where there is no way. In the case of Africa's great evangelist and revivalist, Apostle Joseph Ayodele Babalola, the miraculous activity of God was clearly manifested. If Babalola had been a white missionary, the black people, nay, Africans would probably have regarded Holy Ghost power as exclusive preserve of the white men. Glory be unto God for bestowing on a proper black man extra- ordinary power of the Holy Spirit with which he was able to destroy the stronghold of devilish activities. BIRTH, EDUCATION AND WORKING CAREERJoseph Ayo Babalola was born Odo-Owa (Kwara State) on the 25th day of April 1904. His father was Late Pa David Rotimi, the first Baba Ijo (Lay President) of St. Peter's Anglican Church at Odo-Owa in the present day Kwara State. His mother was Madam Marta Talabi.
First Printed in 2011 2015 edition. Nehemiah 8:1-19; Psalm 91:1This little book is a collection of messages on Discipleship Training in Holy Ghost School recorded at Right hand of the LORD Fellowship, Egbe- Lagos, Nigeria.It happened that I was discipled by two ministers of God: Rev. Joses Hizkiah of Unfailing Life Ministries and Prophet Lambert Eze Okafor of LaFAMCALL (End-Time) Ministries. After this, I forgot about the training and continued in my former method of ministration as I could not pick up the teaching immediately. It was at this juncture of stalemate or deadlock that the LORD quickened me one day to start on the teaching on Holy Ghost Discipleship by faith that the inspiration came to start putting down in writing as the LORD started to help me along.After a considerable number of lessons, the directive came from the LORD to compile the messages into a leaflet for discipling members of the fellowship
What first led me to write a book on discipleship is the compelling force to pass on something to this generation, things the Lord has taught and exposed me to over the years, things that are not of doctrine but of life. The second is that people from various churches go through discipleship and mission training in CAPRO offices in different cities and we do not have materi- als to give them that are concise and written in the context of our environment. The third reason is closely related to the second. We teach these things, espe- cially, the course, 'Call to Discipleship' as churches invite us to run training on discipleship and missions, and we have no materials to leave behind for them to read. This demand provoked me to work on this book. The fourth reason stems from a commission we received from a Christian leader, to publish the truth and scatter it everywhere as certain men are spreading a message that is not really the Gospel. One effective way to 'contend for the faith, which was once delivered to the saints' is to keep publishing the truth. What we speak may be forgotten soon after we had left a meeting but what is published will last several generations. I have faith that several years after I might have gone, if the Lord tarries, someone will find this little book, may be, covered with dust, and republish it to contend the violence that will be unleashed against the Church. Except the Lord does something speedily, the coming years will be one of the worst for the Church. I am praying within me that this book will be part of God's reserved army to resist the force of evil in days ahead. It is my prayer that through this book, this purpose will be accomplished, as well as meet the need of our Lord today in raising instruments of war out of His many children who have seen it fit to walk this path. It is for these reasons that this book is written. May God bless it and turn it into 'a live coal in his hand' and burn it into the hearts of our readers! Amen!
"Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me." (John 14:1) It has been proven both from the Holy Scriptures and practical experiences of true believers of the Lord Jesus Christ, in all generations that, the Almighty God possess infinite fullness, perfection and truthfulness that guarantee absolute trust in Him. Though it is an established fact that, life does not always give you what you desire or even deserve, but, the Lord satisfies every human need; yearnings and aspirations of man. Man's Basic NeedsHumanity seeks security, wisdom, guidance and power on a daily basis. To believe in God means you regard and consider Him trustworthy and also acknowledge that He is both able and willing to provide your needs from His unlimited resources. When you truly believe and trust in God, He first and foremost fills your heart with joy for believing Him: then, He turns away your attention from things to Himself.The greatest blessing you can possibly acquire is to possess God; who is the possessor of heaven and earth. He created all things visible and invisible, both in heaven and on the earth for Himself. And in Him all things consist. (Col. 1: 16- 17). If you seek the LORD your God with all your heart, you will find Him. And when you find God, you have gotten everything in life and eternity. But the rule is: Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33). Delight thyself also in the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of your heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in him and he shall bring it to pass (Psalms 37:4-5). Gaining Access to GodJesus said, "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture" (John10:9). The phrase ''if any man enters; indicates that both believers and unbelievers can access the door of Mercy, if they desire and also strive to fulfill the terms and conditions for admission into the Throne room for the salvation of their souls and other needs.To this intent, God is calling out to you! He beckons; saying:- O' sleeper, awake from your spiritual slumber, awake from backsliding rebellion and disobedience;- You that is dead in sins and trespasses. Arise from the death. Rise up above those besetting sinful habits.- Lay aside every weight and the sin which closely clings to you.In view of the above opening statement of this prologue, the book is set out to encourage the reader that the mandatory proof that you trust in God and His ability to do the impossible, rests on your application of the principle of importunity in prayer.
This devotional book written by The Reverend Gideon and Professor Fumni Para-Mallam comes as an encouraging companion on our daily devotional journeys. It is a combination of inspirational poems and biblical reflections on some passages of Scripture. It is written out of their personal faithful discipline of listening to God during their daily devotions and their wide experience of life that includes times of suffering and times of joy, times of praise and times of petitions. The devotions are very deep, inspiring and sometimes challenging. They reach the heart because they relate to real-life experiences. They are honest and touching. The reader can't remain neutral. They are easy to read. They are short. They are for all seasons. The reader can read, reflect and take time to respond in prayer according to his/her own experiences.
FACTS TO KNOW ABOUT DREAMS 1. RECOGNISE THE FORCES BEHIND YOUR DREAM Recognise the forces behind your dream. Most good dreams emanate from God while bad dreams come from Satan and his kingdom of dark- ness. Any instruction from your dream which commands you to act against the word of God should be disregarded. It should rather been seen as satanic manipulation. 2. CORRECT DREAM INTERPRETATION IS A FUNCTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WISDOM OF GOD Correct dream interpretation is a function of the Holy Spirit and wis- dom of God. God is God. God is no man. No man can replace God in giving out correct dream interpretation. Therefore, you must rely on the wisdom of God and Holy Spirit for such task. You can only receive a sketchy guide but you should note that same dreams may have same meaning or interpretation to people . 3. NEVER SUBJECT YOUR LIFE TO THE CONTROL OF DREAMS Never Subject your life to the control of dreams. Rather let the word of God controls your life. Embrace the Lord Jesus Christ. Be bold in the Lord. When you have any negative dreams emanating from demonic world, do not become panic. Rather have it in mind, that greater is He ( Jesus) that is in you than he (Satan) that is in the world. (I John 4:4). Hence, see dream as a means of revelation and prayer.
Wurde Ihnen schon einmal gesagt, Sie sollen durch eine Straßenevangelisation oder eine andere Veranstaltung Seelen für Christus gewinnen, und Sie spüren einfach, dass Sie dafür nicht geeignet sind? Wenn es Ihnen schließlich gelingt, jemanden davon zu überzeugen, Jesus als Retter anzunehmen, wird Ihnen langsam klar, dass Sie keine Ahnung haben, wo Sie auf dem Weg zur Jüngerschaft beginnen sollen. Wenn das Ihre Situation ist, sind Sie nicht allein.Da ich seit über dreißig (30) Jahren Christ bin und Predigten von verschiedenen Kanzeln auf der ganzen Welt, über Mediennetzwerke und in unseren örtlichen Kirchen höre, bin ich erstaunt über den Mangel oder die Nichtexistenz praktischer Lehren darüber, wie man tatsächlich vorgeht Wir streben danach, alle Nationen zu Jüngern zu machen, wie Jesus Christus uns in seinem letzten Befehl an die Jünger befohlen hat, bis mir vor dreizehn Jahren diese Einsicht bei meiner sichtbaren Begegnung mit dem Herrn Jesus Christus am 22. April 2006 kam. Ihr werdet finden die Geschichte der Begegnung im Einleitungsteil von Clueless - Go Make Disciples. Selbst dann bin ich immer noch dabei, mein Verständnis zu verfeinern. Ich weiß und bin mir bewusst, dass es unzählige Christen gibt, die den Herrn sehr lieben und Woche für Woche unermüdlich in der Kirche aktiv sind und keine Ahnung haben, wie sie wirklich hinausgehen und alle Nationen zu Jüngern machen können. Einige unserer Kirchenbänke sind mit recycelten Konvertiten gefüllt, die nach Jahren der Bekehrung nicht mehr zwischen links und rechts unterscheiden können, wenn es um die Jüngerschaft geht. Einige unserer Kirchen sind wie ein totes Meer geworden, in dem wir weiterhin Botschaften aufnehmen und nicht in der Lage sind, den Schatz in uns herauszulassen.Dieses Buch ¿Clueless - Go and make Jünger" wurde für Sie geschrieben, um Sie als praktisches ¿How to"-Buch für die großartige Auftragsarbeit mit Discovery Bible Study und den besten Disciple Making-Bewegungen, Training the Trainer (T4T) und anderen auszurüsten Jüngerschaftsprozesse an einem Ort. Fragen wie: Wie verstehen Sie die verschiedenen Jüngerschaftsbewegungen? Was passt in Ihr spezielles kirchliches Umfeld? Was funktioniert für Sie? Was sind die positiven Ergebnisse der Geschichten aus verschiedenen Jüngerschaftsbewegungen?Wenn Sie mit der Lektüre von ¿Clueless - Geht und mache Jünger" fertig sind, werden Sie beginnen, tatsächlich Jünger zu machen und andere ausgebildete Leiter dazu auszurüsten, das Gleiche in jeder Umgebung zu tun, in der Sie sich befinden, und Ihre Früchte werden mit Sicherheit bleiben. Unter den vielen Ansätzen zur Jüngerschaft, die es gibt, werden Sie Ihren einzigartigen Stil und Platz im Leib Christi finden und dieses Amt effektiv ausüben. Sie finden praktische Tipps, wie Sie eine Gruppe zwischen verschiedenen Bevölkerungsgruppen (städtisch und ländlich) gründen und in jedem Umfeld nach Triggerpunkten suchen, um einen Entdeckungsprozess zu starten. Sie werden Ihre einzigartige Begabung im Leib Christi erkennen und effektiv darin funktionieren und noch viel, viel mehr!
There are different kinds of people moving out of rural areas into urban centers, moving from the North into the South daily; different kinds of people among northern migrants and immigrants in the neighborhood of the Church. And there are also different kinds of believers in the Church who interface and interact with these different "people groups" daily in the marketplace. This daily interfacing between migrants and believers into host communities present great ministry opportunities for believers to reach their kind with the gospel of salvation.This book presents the constantly changing kaleidoscope of migrating "people groups" into the neighborhoods of all our churches today. The author then suggests linking up specific social -economic groups within local churches with these migrating 'people groups' for the purpose of Gospel outreach. Reach Your Kind in Diaspora Missions clearly highlights for believers that irrespective of their location, profession, church affiliation and station in life, each should reach his/her kind. It gives a specific list of 'people groups' among migrants in order to make the work of Diaspora Missions more focused and effective.Right where you stand... reach your kind in diaspora missions.
Have you ever been told to go and win souls for Christ through street evangelism or any other setting and you just sense you are not cut out for this? When you eventually manage to convince someone to accept Jesus as savior, you begin to realize you are clueless as to where to begin in the discipleship journey. If that is your situation, you are not alone.As a Christian of over thirty (30) years, listening to sermons from different pulpits from around the world, over media networks and at our local churches, I am amazed at the lack of or non-existence of practical teaching on how to actually go out and make disciples of all nations as Jesus Christ instructed us during His last command to the disciples, until the last thirteen years that this insight came to me in my visible encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ on 22nd, of April 2006. You will find the story on the encounter in the introductory part of Clueless - Go Make Disciples. Even then, I am still fine-tuning my understanding. I know and I am aware that there are countless Christians, who love the Lord dearly and are involved in relentless church activities week in and week out that have no clue as to how to really go out and make disciples of all nations. Some of our church pews are filled with recycled converts that do not know their left from their right concerning disciple making after years of conversion. Some of our churches have become like the dead sea where we keep taking in messages and not being equipped to let out the treasure within. This book, Clueless - Go and make disciples was written for you to equip you, as a practical "how to" book for the great commission work using Discovery Bible Study and the best of Disciple Making movement, Training the trainer (T4T) and other disciple making processes all in one place. Questions like - How do you make sense of the various disciple making movement? what fits into your particular church setting? What works for you? What are the positive results of stories out there from different disciple making movements? By the time you are done reading Clueless - Go and make disciples, you will begin to actually make disciples and equip other groomed leaders to do likewise in any and every setting where you find yourself and your fruit will certainly remain. From the many approaches to discipleship out there, you will find your unique style and place in the body of Christ and function in that office effectively. You will find practical tips on how to start a group amongst different people groups (Urban and rural) and look for trigger points within any setting to start a discovery process. You will identify your unique gifting in the body of Christ and function effectively within it and much, much more!
Are you a young man or a young woman? Do you understand the uniqueness of your identity? These could have been very simple questions to answer some decades ago, but not now. Even among the older members of our community, the question of whether they are men or women is not easily answered either.Identity theft is the worst danger facing this generation of teenagers and youths. Young people are the prime target in this crime and if there is any time in history when the risk of identity theft s not only to be feared, but fought against vehemently, it is now! With the internet becoming the real world for so many of our children/youth and deception on the increase, there has been wanton destruction planned by the robbers of identity.Today, our children are surrounded by dreamers, human traffickers, false prophets, false ministers, etc... who are corrupters, defilers, and abusers of mankind. The dangers are not limited to the club houses or streets worse still in their schools and places of worship. The spiritual leaders, teachers, house helps and friends turn into wolves in sheep clothing to devour our young people.How prepare are you to tackle these robbers?
We should thank God for what he has done for us. You and I have access to spiritual weapons of war fare that are highly effective to assure our to- tal deliverance. We should make good use of them. Your enemy is at work to harm you, to destroy your progress. You must not fold your arms. You must rise up to face the challenges. The devil must be resisted. Such satanic agents must not be allowed to ruin your life. Resist the devil and he will flee away from you ( James 4:7) You must always be at alert. Never give the devil any foothold in your life. You need violent and aggressive prayer to free yourself from evil inheritance emanating from generational or genetic problem. You need to free yourself from household wickedness. These are en- emies inside your own family. Joseph's case is relevant here. His brothers sold him into slavery out of envy and jealousy. The scripture states; and a mans' foes shall be they of his household (Matt 10:36) You should be prepared to rebuild and reconstruct your faulty foundation. The Bible states if the foundations be destroyed what can the right- eous do? (Psalm 11:3) Deliverance from foundational bondage is needed for success and breakthrough in life. You need to destroy every satanic network of evil association and communication system. Pray aggressively and violently to dismantle every evil gathering obstacles and satellite against you. By the power in the blood of Jesus you have been empow- ered to cancel and nullify every satanic mark on you. Make good use of this divine opportunity.
Power is the ability to get what you want. In today's ministry, the most reliable means of getting what you want is power from above. God the creator has empowered human beings created by Him to go and subdue the earth. The bible sheds light on numerous miracles recorded to prove the mightiness of Almighty God. Though other lesser powers emerged to compete with the supreme of God, as in the case of Egyptian dominion over the Israelites yet, the power of God proved to be the most effective. ORDER FROM ABOVEIn Luke 10:19, Jesus Christ decreed; Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.You have indeed be empowered to battle demons, diseases and other related problems. All you need is to walk in faith and act by faith. Embracing satanic power with a view to battling demons is definitely out of place. Serving God and mammon will be counter-productive In Mathew 18:18; Jesus declared: verily, I say unto you whatsoever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever ye shall loosed on earth shall be loosed in heaven.The Lord Jesus Christ who gave this order is ready to back it to the glory of God the Father. You do not need the services of necromancers, Occultists, Soothsayers to effect the promises from the Saviour above.In Mark 16:17; Jesus decreed: And these signs shall follow them that believe: in my name shall they cast out devils: they shall speak with new tongues.It is only with the name of Jesus you can deal with demons. At his name every knee must bow. (Phil 2:10) Jesus power is superpower. Ministers, Jesus has given you authority and power with which to, operate in today's ministry. Ministers of God, operate absolutely in Faith. The promises in the Holy Bible are for you.(JEREMIAH 1:10)See I have this day set thee over the kingdoms to root out, and to pull down and to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.(ROMANS 9:33)As it is written, behold I lay in zion a stumblingstone and rock of offence and whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.(11 COR: 10:4-5)For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
¿Alguna vez te han dicho que vayas y ganes almas para Cristo a través del evangelismo en las calles o cualquier otro entorno y sientes que no estás hecho para esto? Cuando finalmente logras convencer a alguien de que acepte a Jesús como salvador, comienzas a darte cuenta de que no tienes idea de por dónde comenzar en el camino del discipulado. Si esa es tu situación, no estás solo.Como cristiano de más de treinta (30) años, escuchando sermones desde diferentes púlpitos de todo el mundo, a través de redes de medios y en nuestras iglesias locales, me sorprende la falta o inexistencia de enseñanza práctica sobre cómo realmente ir salir y hacer discípulos de todas las naciones como Jesucristo nos instruyó durante Su último mandato a los discípulos, hasta los últimos trece años que esta idea me llegó en mi encuentro visible con el Señor Jesucristo el 22 de abril de 2006. Encontrarás la historia del encuentro en la parte introductoria de Clueless - Go Make Disciples. Incluso entonces, todavía estoy afinando mi comprensión. Sé y soy consciente de que hay innumerables cristianos, que aman mucho al Señor y están involucrados en incesantes actividades de la iglesia semana tras semana que no tienen ni idea de cómo realmente salir y hacer discípulos de todas las naciones. Algunas de las bancas de nuestras iglesias están llenas de conversos reciclados que no distinguen su izquierda de su derecha en cuanto a hacer discípulos después de años de conversión. Algunas de nuestras iglesias se han vuelto como el mar muerto donde seguimos recibiendo mensajes y no estamos equipados para dejar salir el tesoro que hay dentro.Este libro, Clueless - Vayan y hagan discípulos fue escrito para que ustedes los equipen, como un libro práctico de "cómo hacer" para el trabajo de la gran comisión usando el Estudio Bíblico de Descubrimiento y lo mejor del movimiento de Hacer Discípulos, Entrenando al Entrenador (T4T) y otros procesos de formación de discípulos, todo en un solo lugar. Preguntas como: ¿Cómo le das sentido a los diversos movimientos de hacer discípulos? ¿Qué encaja en el entorno particular de su iglesia? ¿Qué funciona para ti? ¿Cuáles son los resultados positivos de las historias de diferentes movimientos de hacer discípulos?Para cuando haya terminado de leer Clueless: vaya y haga discípulos, comenzará a hacer discípulos y equipará a otros líderes preparados para que hagan lo mismo en todos y cada uno de los entornos en los que se encuentre y su fruto ciertamente permanecerá. De los muchos enfoques del discipulado que existen, encontrará su estilo y lugar únicos en el cuerpo de Cristo y desempeñará ese cargo de manera efectiva. Encontrará consejos prácticos sobre cómo iniciar un grupo entre diferentes grupos de personas (urbanas y rurales) y buscará puntos desencadenantes dentro de cualquier entorno para iniciar un proceso de descubrimiento. ¡Identificarás tu don único en el cuerpo de Cristo y funcionarás efectivamente dentro de él y mucho, mucho más!
All is not well with the planet.

Evil days are here at last.Vanishing ozone layer, increasing heat waves, changing climatic conditions...huge tidal waves and ravaging floods of unprecedented levels, escalating earthquakes and worsening global environmental decadence - these are final stage signs!AND SO, GOD IN HIS LOVE HAS SPOKEN AGAIN CONCERNING WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN...Please read this unusual Revelation Message and act fast before it hits 'degree- 46'.* Anyone who loves the sciences but mocks the Gospel shouldquickly turn to Chapter Three of this book-for a shocker!* Also, anyone involved with Gospel work should refer to Chapter Five - for some SAD NEWS!
Turaki does a scholarly work in developing moral laws based on creation and the God of creation. He argues for an inter-relationship between the moral laws and ethics that would derive from the observance of creation through natural science, and that which derives from God. This according to him is based on the inter-relationship that already exists between the God of creation and creation.Given that humanity is the creation of God, the moral laws and ethics that are derived from God and His creation must be universally applicable to all humanity.Turaki further argues that the moral laws and ethics that are derived from biblical revelation are the absolutes by which all other laws derived from other religions, natural science and common sense are judged.Turaki does not make these claims without serious academic wrestling with various perspectives on the subject both philosophically and theologically. His approach provides useful information for the systematic theologian as he treats each relevant subject both descriptively and critically.In a postmodern age where relativity and corresponding subjectivity has become the new absolute, this work is a welcome challenge, calling us to rethink the popular assumptions of our time and revisit the subject of morality and ethics from a theistic perspective.The Christ of God claims to be truth and life. His followers should therefore define moral laws and ethics based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. They should also be evangelistic about the necessity of an absolute as a standard for evaluating all moral laws and ethics. This is the good work Turaki has done as a follower of Jesus Christ. His work is an invitation to consider the character of God as the absolute by which all moral laws and ethics should be evaluated.I am personally grateful to him. I believe you will share my gratitude after reading this book.This work should be seen as a contribution to the conversation. I invite you to join the discussion after reading Universal Moral Laws.Rev.Dr. Delah AdadevoUSAMarch 2019
ABC OF ADULTERY AND FORNICATIONThe living God is against any form of adultery and fornication. He plainly warned against this in the Holy Bible."Thou shall not commit adultery." Exodus 20: 14The Bible expatiated further on this:"Moreover, thou shall not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife to defile thyself with her."Lev. 18:20God specifically decreed heavy punishment for anyone guilty of the above as recorded in Leviticus 20: 10. In the New Testament, the Lord Jesus Christ confirmed the commandment as handed down by Godthe father."Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time thou shalt not commit adultery." Matthew 5:27 The Holy Bible generally contain detailed analysis of what constitute the act of adultery and fornication - the breakdown of which is recorded in Leviticus 18:16-23.Furthermore, God the father made additional regulation in Deuteronomy 22:23-24.

A shorter version of this book was published by Hippo Books in 2012. Those who have read the original Manuscript feel very strongly that it be published as A Revised Expanded Version 2019 for the benefit of scholars in the field of Theology. Additional materials culled from other works of mine were included so as to give the main subject of the Book a comprehensive outlook. You cannot kill a tree by cutting off its branches; you need to dig down and cut off its roots. In this book, Professor Yusufu Turaki uses the Holy Scriptures as spade and axe as he digs down to examine the roots of sin. His knowledge of traditional African beliefs and value adds depth to his discussion of the origin, nature, effects and power of sin in our lives. He shows the relevance of each member of the Holy Trinity to our struggle against the root sins of self-centredness and pride, greed and lust, and anxiety and fear. Professor Yusufu Turaki helps us to understand how sin affects our relationships with ourselves, with God and with others. More than that, he gives us guidelines for dealing with sin inour lives and in our communities. I commend this book for personal reading and for academic study.

This book exposes the sacredness and wholliness of marketplace work culture and brings to light the concepts of social relationships that exist amongst human beings and the divine mandate which is clearly defined in the Scripture for humankind to associate freely. In social sciences and in the field of anthropology, work and social interaction are synonymous to socio-economic and cultural stardom of a society. For an appropriate social and economic interaction, God the Father must be understood and believed as the One who created work and was the first worker. He designed, fashioned, engineered, molded the universe and made it so beautiful and suitable for man to live in, with a clear mandate to "work" for the benefit of mankind and for the glory of God. In essence, a bond of relationship through work is established between God and humanity. A good theology of God therefore, must include work.

L'immoralité sexuelle ne connaît pas de frontières. Son influence insidieuse s'est répandue dans les institutions et les foyers de personnes bien intentionnées qui cherchent à mener une vie morale et chrétienne. Internet avec tous ses atouts n'aide pas du tout. Internet a rendu possible la consommation privée de matériel illicite par le biais de son ordinateur à la maison ou de son appareil mobile (téléphone). Jeunes et moins jeunes peuvent accéder non seulement à la pornographie, mais aussi entretenir une relation émotionnelle virtuelle avec de parfaits inconnus de l'autre côté du monde. Même si aucun contact physique ne se produit jamais, les dommages causés à un mariage peuvent être dévastateurs lorsque la relation en ligne prend une importance attrayante pour l'un des époux. Les enfants, les jeunes et les moins jeunes, les missionnaires, les pasteurs ou les membres laïcs ne sont pas à l'abri de l'invasion de contenu pornographique sur des appareils laissant des images qui restent généralement au point de rester piégées. On m'a appelé pour vous conseiller sur les types de logiciels qui pourraient aider à empêcher ces envahisseurs de subir davantage de victimes. La télévision et les films continuent d'exposer les téléspectateurs à des images et à des contenus de plus en plus tentants, susceptibles de nous entraîner encore plus dans des modes de vie compromettants.Nous avons engagé des auteurs chrétiens qui ont fait la preuve de solutions concrètes dans les Ecritures pour éviter les pièges de l'immoralité sexuelle. Il existe également des histoires de la vie réelle que nous pouvons apprendre en traçant notre propre parcours. Je l' ai également réalisé à partir de mes propres expériences après plus de 25 ans de mon voyage chrétien qui ne nous enseignons rarement sur le sexe importe uel de notre chaire. Pourtant, nos foyers, qui sont le fondement de la société, ont subi des conséquences indescriptibles du fait du problème du piégeage sexuel et émotionnel, que ce soit dans les mariages, en dehors des mariages, dans les écoles, dans nos bureaux ou sur nos marchés et dans l'environnement donnant naissance à des enfants. Mee Too Mouvements, luttes pour l'inégalité entre les sexes, Sex for Marks dans nos universités, Sex for promotions sur le lieu de travail, Sex for Transfer, Sex for privilèges, Sex for Contracts, etc. Ces développements ont choqué de nombreux croyants mal préparés à gérer les énormes tentations qu'ils ont à subir, ce qui les a conduit à devenir victimes des pressions exercées sur leur lieu de travail.
To start a race is easy, but to finish it is challenging. And it is of no use starting a course we are not determined to finish. The experiences of certain heroes have revealed that getting to the finishing point of our high calling will not be a mere free ride. Here is a compelling read to prove this beyond a mere theological treatise. A well-crafted exposition, The Sojourn is an account of a black traveler, Kofi Adams, who stepped out one great afternoon in autumn to search for Paradise not minding critics, arguments and the general view that travel narrows the mind and the belief of some that Paradise was lost. While his account touches upon all kinds of people, beliefs, reasons and philosophy, the question is did he find Paradise at the end of it all or all search only equated running a fool's errand - a figment of imagination, fantasy and illusion - if you like?You are about reading what could have happened anywhere, but which happened in Mopedia, a little but popular town. The account was about Kofi Adams, a man who travelled out of Mopedia in search of Paradise. Mopedia existed few centuries ago and was mainly consisted of the black, howbeit with other colours included. With respect to geography, Mopedia was founded on the plateau with her boundary stretching out in different directions. In her northern side for example, she had a renowned valley, which had generously served the land as a hiding place during wars. In the south, she had a route that led to the Fortune Island, which was then a notable centre for mercantile activities. Adventurers of the time made use of the island as a link between their hometowns and cities of the then known world. Travelling via the said route to any of the far away cities was likewise a much-desired ambition of that age. Besides, it was a custom to celebrate a native of Mopedia who was resident abroad but visited home with the valuables of those cities. Small wonder, a good percentage of people often aspired to make short trips or periodic tours southward of Mopedia.
A close study of the teenage life shows it could be likened to weeds in the hands of the wind or a moss carried along by the wave and tide of the sea. At times, the lives of the young people flicker like a candle light battling with the breeze of time. This has deprived a good number of them a specific station in life with regard to where they stand. Not only that, it has made them hardly have a destination of their own. The result of all of these is that many youths have their dreams placed in the hands of another; they have a future left to be designed by strange designers, with a career mindset that lacks a fiber to deliver the goods. A life of this kind promises living, but not sincere existence. It makes a man get lost in the maddening crowd of all Toms and Jerry. That is why many born-great youths are ending up as Lilliput and great stars keep wandering in the maze of low self discovery? Come-on youths, awake! It's time we got out of the shadow!
