Editorial<br />
A major reason many people are so active in<br />
church but do not represent Christ in the<br />
Marketplace is because, many do not know<br />
Christ enough, to be able to represent Him. You<br />
cannot stand for a man you are not intimate<br />
with.<br />
Furthermore is the case where many are not<br />
even sure about their Kingdom citizenship. For<br />
them, the many activities in which they find a<br />
place, is good enough. No it isn’t!<br />
Start afresh and be sure. Salvation must be<br />
thorough for you to make it through this life into<br />
eternity. Give Jesus your life. Be Genuinely Born<br />
Again.<br />

Over the years until quite<br />
recently, Ministry was<br />
perceived to be a Church<br />
thing. In fact even now, some<br />
Christian leaders are still of the<br />
opinion that if you do not have a<br />
Church setting either publicly or<br />
at the background of the Ministry<br />
work you do, you cannot sustain<br />
the work. We must understand<br />
that God's works and operations<br />
cannot be confined to the<br />
revelations perceived even by a<br />
group of spiritual leaders. We see<br />
in part and prophesy in part. No<br />
one has the autonomy to translate<br />
the visions and revelations he is<br />
privileged to receive into<br />
doctrines. The Scriptures form<br />
the highest authority of God's<br />
Kingdom on the earth, not<br />
spiritual leaders.<br />
We are in the end of time, and the<br />
Bible refers to this season as a<br />
time when knowledge will<br />
increase. Dan 12:4, “But thou, O<br />
Daniel, shut up the words, and<br />
seal the book, even to the time of<br />
the end: many shall run to and<br />
fro, and knowledge shall be<br />

“<br />
increased” (KJV). I often hear<br />
Ministers admit to errors they<br />
previously preached due to<br />
l i m i t e d u n d e r s t a n d i n g<br />
concerning certain matters in<br />
Scripture. We must all stay<br />
abreast and open to get updates<br />
from Above and through proven<br />
vessels under the inspiration of<br />
the Holy Spirit. We must keep<br />
learning.<br />
Ministry today has gone beyond<br />
the four walls of denominational<br />
d o c t r i n e s a n d s e c t i o n a l<br />
restrictions. No church setting<br />
currently has a final say as to<br />
direct the entirety of God's<br />
people on the earth, because you<br />
would observe the manifold<br />
order of strange manifestations<br />
across various denominations<br />
and commissions all over the<br />
globe. Whatever achievements<br />
you think God is helping you<br />
with, by the time you hear the<br />
testimonies of others, you are<br />
humbled.<br />
...we would not fulfil<br />
the Great Commission<br />
solely through Church<br />
Ministry because the<br />
world will not come<br />
to your church, yet<br />
they need our Jesus.<br />

that we would not fulfil the Great<br />
Commission solely through<br />
Church Ministry because the<br />
world will not come to your<br />
church, yet they need our Jesus.<br />
Workplace Ministry is God's tool<br />
for global evangelism. Until we<br />
take this Gospel work into our<br />
various careers, where the world<br />
is willing to meet us and transact<br />
with us, we cannot reach and win<br />
them. Our Christ-like lifestyle in<br />
our everyday career and business<br />
life is the gospel that will win the<br />
world to Jesus.<br />
Hello Pastor, as a Minister, you<br />
must think outside the box if the<br />
work committed into your care<br />
must expand. You are not called<br />
to shepherd a few, but a perishing<br />
world you come across every day<br />
and at every turn. Satisfaction<br />
with the few you preach to on<br />
Sundays is a bend to mediocrity.<br />
Jesus has more for you!<br />
What are some Strategic Steps to<br />
take Ministry Work beyond<br />
Restrictions?<br />
PUBLICATIONS: Tracts,<br />
Newsletters and Ministry<br />
magazines, like this one you are<br />
holding; travel farther than<br />
always planned. When contents<br />
and production are detailed and<br />
in quality, you are sure that<br />
people will read every single<br />
copy you set out. Launch a<br />
Church or Ministry Newsletter or<br />
Magazine and reproduce your<br />
m e s s a g e s , r e v e l a t i o n s ,<br />
testimonies and articles. Let<br />
more people know what God is<br />
doing in your midst. More souls<br />
will come to Christ through your<br />
quality prints than you can<br />
imagine.<br />
SOCIAL MEDIA: You want to<br />
reach the world? Then do<br />
Ministry via social media. If your<br />
budget can accommodate it,<br />
employ a Christian professional<br />
to maximize your social media<br />
h a n d l e s a n d k e e p t h e m<br />
productive. Set up accounts and<br />
pages on Facebook, Twitter,<br />
Instagram, Pinterest, Whatsapp,<br />
etc; the people God wants you to<br />
reach are waiting for you there.<br />
Be in the face of the world, get<br />
Jesus loud on every platform.<br />
“<br />
Our Christ-like lifestyle in<br />
our everyday career and<br />
business life is the gospel<br />
that will win the world<br />
to Jesus.<br />

Churches to minister and the<br />
messages are not recorded.<br />
Pastors preach every Sunday and<br />
these revelations are not captured<br />
and redistributed for the reedification<br />
of the congregation.<br />
There is no Church that wants to<br />
grow her people spiritually, that<br />
will not give attention to Media<br />
productions because the faith of<br />
the people will come by hearing<br />
and hearing of the Word beyond<br />

that is recorded and produced<br />
into audio and video formats that<br />
can be re-heard. Set up your<br />
Media department, Train the<br />
personnel and equip them for<br />
productive service in Sound<br />
Engineering, Mp3 and video<br />
productions.<br />
RADIO AND TELEVISION:<br />
While you must work by clear<br />
Divine instructions whether or<br />
not to host Radio and/or<br />
Television sessions, these media<br />
are very productive and efficient<br />
for carrying out the work of the<br />
Ministry. Though at certain<br />
levels, they can be a bit<br />
expensive, you must be willing<br />
to throw yourself in when you<br />
have gotten God's go ahead.<br />
As a corps member some years<br />
back, God instructed me to get on<br />
TV in Benue state, Nigeria. The<br />
following day I went to NTA<br />
Makurdi to enquire. The cost of<br />
getting on air beat my faith to the<br />
ground. I definitely could not<br />
raise the cash. After about two<br />
weeks, I went back to God to<br />
report my lack of sufficient faith<br />
and the LORD instructed me to<br />
go back to NTA and ask for free<br />
session. I did and got it. I was on<br />
TV, preaching free. Whatever<br />
God has called you to do; He<br />
wants to take you beyond the<br />
four walls of denominationalism,<br />

about Jesus. Go for it. God bless<br />

O<br />
th<br />
n the 10 of February 2017, a<br />
team of champions led by the<br />
President, Bro. Deji David<br />
Olanrewaju; embarked on an outreach to<br />
the Royal Inheritance Glorious<br />
Academy, Ogori Uwokwo land, Oju<br />
Local Government Area of Benue State.<br />
Royal Inheritance Glorious Academy is a<br />
Missions school headed by Evang. Ojo<br />
and his wife who served as Corpers a<br />
couple of years back. They both received<br />
instructions from God to stay back and<br />
serve as Missionaries. Under the<br />
Leadership of Ark of God Global Gospel<br />
Missions, a Ministry coordinated by<br />
Evangelist Gbenga Babalola, these new<br />
Missionaries received mentorship and<br />
encouragement to serve God in a<br />
community about four hours drive from<br />
Makurdi, the Capital of Benue state,<br />
Nigeria.<br />
Royal Inheritance Glorious Academy<br />
educates children from about twenty<br />
villages on and around the mountains in<br />

Oju. Pupils walk as long as fourty<br />
minutes to get to school. These young<br />
pupils do not only receive sound<br />
academic lessons in school but also enjoy<br />
rich spiritual mentorship under the<br />
leadership of the school. These children<br />
speak good English, participate as<br />
interpreters and prayer warriors during<br />
Ministry crusades and actively<br />
participate in Bible studies, Prayer<br />
meetings and outreach strategies of the<br />
Missionaries.<br />
Return Global Outreach Team was<br />
received by the Proprietor of the school<br />
on arrival and was introduced to staff and<br />
students. The President addressed the<br />
pupils and teachers. The proprietor<br />
acknowledged that the team's visit was a<br />
representation of Jesus' visit to the<br />
school.<br />
Our Ministry Team gave free text books,<br />
work books and exercise books to<br />
support the work of the Missionaries in<br />
Royal Inheritance Glorious Academy.<br />
Thereafter, we headed for the mountains<br />
to inspect a Church established by the<br />
Missionaries to cater for the needs of<br />
abandoned communities living up the<br />
mountains. These people are unreached<br />
by the government, but with the help of<br />
Missions, they serve God joyfully and<br />
receive encouragement daily.<br />

GUARDING<br />
Your HOME<br />
AGAINST THE ENEMY<br />

The family is the smallest<br />
unit of the society, yet the<br />
most threatened and<br />
attacked by the devil. This is<br />
because the family is the bedrock<br />
of the society, it is the foundation<br />
for any great nation. It is the basis<br />
for the formation or growth of<br />
any man or woman who would<br />
make positive impact in the<br />
world today.<br />
Our society is filled with all kinds<br />
o f d e c a d e n c e , w r a t h a n d<br />
unimaginable evil. Sometimes I<br />
ask myself, how did we get here,<br />
how did wrong become right and<br />
acceptable, how did total<br />
disregard for God`s words<br />
become the norm today? The<br />
answer is not far-fetched. Like<br />
never before, the sacredness of<br />
the home/family has become<br />
ignored, unguarded and the<br />
enemy has sown evil seeds which<br />
have grown to become mighty<br />
trees.<br />
As believers, we have a hope and<br />
that is Jesus, we have an<br />
assurance of victory, we have<br />
“<br />
power to take back our homes<br />
and territories from the grip of<br />
the devil, but this will not happen<br />
by chance or mere stroke of luck,<br />
we must rise and take forceful<br />
steps to guard our homes from<br />
the enemy. Our victory is assured<br />
in Jesus name! Amen!<br />
How do we guard our home<br />
against the enemy?<br />
KNOWLEDGE<br />
Many believers are unaware of<br />
the many tricks and devices<br />
employed by the enemy to creep<br />
into the home. We are so carried<br />
away by past ideologies that we<br />
refuse to acknowledge the<br />
peculiarities of the times we find<br />
ourselves.<br />
Statistics show that<br />
majority of juveniles<br />
today come from homes<br />
with absent or no fathers<br />
”<br />
Our children today are born into<br />
a more advanced world and in<br />
many cases they know more than<br />
POSSIBILITIES : 6

w e t h i n k t h e y k n o w .<br />
Parents/guardians must be<br />
abreast of these changes, ask<br />
questions, seek information,<br />
don`t remain static, you`ll be<br />
surprised to discover that you<br />
actually know nothing.<br />
You must be knowledgeable<br />
enough to discuss salient issues<br />
with your children so that they<br />
don`t seek answers outside. Get<br />
computer savvy, you don't have<br />
to know everything on the<br />
computer, but ensure you know<br />
enough to find your way around<br />
it. Some of us buy electronic<br />
gadgets for our children, without<br />
knowing how to operate them<br />
and so many of them are carriers<br />
of certain demonic games that<br />
can possess the mind or even<br />
cause suicidal tendencies like<br />
we've seen in recent reports.<br />
To y s w e b u y s h o u l d b e<br />
scrutinised, cartoons (popular<br />
and unpopular), T.V shows<br />
should be scrutinised. Mind what<br />
your children watch, because<br />
these are mediums through<br />
which the enemy creeps into the<br />
hearts of our young ones.<br />
Sometimes you wonder why<br />
your child or ward acts strangely.<br />
Look around, the answer is not<br />
far from you.<br />
TIME<br />
Quality time for the family<br />
cannot be overemphasized.<br />
Nothing beats the value of time<br />
invested in the home front. Never<br />
be too busy for your family.<br />
Some fathers are so busy that<br />
they leave the running of the<br />
home to mothers, while we may<br />
say that the change in our<br />
economy has placed more<br />
demand on our fathers to provide<br />
and meet needs in the home, the<br />
role of a father can never be filled<br />
by the mother alone and vice<br />
versa. Statistics show that<br />
majority of juveniles today come<br />
from homes with absent or no<br />
fathers. Time must be made for<br />
f a m i l y o u t i n g s , c h a t s ,<br />
prayers/devotions, discussions,<br />
games etc. It is the correct<br />
knowledge you<br />
“<br />
e q u i p y o u r<br />
children with,<br />
that becomes a<br />
formidable shield<br />
against the many<br />
lies and deceits of<br />
the enemy.<br />
ASSOCIATIONS<br />
What kind of association do you<br />
keep?<br />
Do not expect positive friends<br />
from your children or ward if you<br />
don`t keep good company, your<br />
children will naturally follow in<br />
your footsteps. Parents must<br />
watch who they allow into their<br />
homes as friends. Choose<br />
carefully who you allow to have<br />
access into the hearts and minds<br />
of your children/home.<br />
Watch the associations of your<br />
children. What words do they<br />
speak, how do they react in the<br />
face of challenges, are your<br />
children any better by being with<br />
those friends or are they having<br />
more influence (negative) on<br />
your children?<br />
Children at very young ages are<br />
very fast learners, without<br />
speaking they pick up lessons<br />
from the actions of people<br />
around them, therefore WATCH,<br />

This is the first requirement and<br />

purpose is highly hinged on how<br />
much you have found out. In<br />
other words, you read little,<br />
you're influenced as well as<br />
limited by that little. You read<br />
m u c h , y o u r p r o s p e c t i v e<br />
influence will be much but also<br />
limited by how much knowledge<br />
you have. What you know then<br />
becomes a passport to your level<br />
of exposure.<br />
First thing I would like you to<br />
realize is that God has a purpose<br />
for everyone. Your purpose is the<br />
very reason why you have been<br />
created. The reason you have<br />
been created is etched in your<br />
experiences as you pass through<br />
life. If you would carefully<br />
journey with me as I write, you'll<br />
see that you are as important as<br />
the next person seated close to<br />
you.<br />
No matter what anyone becomes<br />
in life, they started from<br />
somewhere. We all have a point<br />
zero where we can hardly<br />
navigate through to see the<br />
bigger picture for our lives.<br />
Some who have dreams and<br />
aspirations from point zero are<br />
not left out in the process of their<br />
blossoming life. Now what is this<br />
POSSIBILITIES : 10<br />
process I'm reiterating? It is what<br />
happens between the time when<br />
you know nothing and the time<br />
you have what you need from<br />
life. The processes of searching,<br />
learning, failing and rising.<br />
THE PROCESSES<br />
1. How do you successfully<br />
choose a career for life?<br />
You must do a SEARCH. An<br />
internal search and an external<br />
search. Find out what comes<br />
easily for you. Trace the dots that<br />
connect to the things you are<br />
naturally passionate about.<br />
Things you can almost do for free<br />
and can be of value to people. Do<br />
a SWOT analysis of yourself. I<br />
m e a n y o u r S t r e n g t h s ,<br />
Weaknesses, Opportunities you<br />
see in yourself as well as possible<br />
Threats.<br />
Most importantly, do not believe<br />
the nudges that make you feel<br />
you are too spiritual when you<br />
ask God. Searching your spirit is<br />
the best thing that can happen to a<br />
man in search of a path in life.<br />
This is because beyond what you<br />
would find out personally, the<br />
Spirit of God is able to reveal to<br />
you more of who you are. It is the<br />
Spirit of God that would inspire<br />
you and begin to move you in the<br />
direction of destiny. Your career<br />
is the path you'll walk in getting<br />
to God's destination fashioned<br />
for you.<br />
Ideally, we never really stop<br />
searching because we grow from<br />
one level of glory to another and<br />
from strength to strength. Please<br />
know that you might end up<br />
engaging in different things but<br />
not all these things will satisfy<br />
you at the same time. What<br />
happens is, when you become
: DISCERNING YOUR CAREER PATH :<br />
satisfied with a discovered<br />
strength, the point at which you<br />
no longer feel challenged is a call<br />
to a higher path. Answer it!<br />
Everyone who must live a<br />
successful career path must be<br />
ready to shed the comfort skin<br />
and forge ahead for something<br />
even greater.<br />
The secret here is your ability to<br />
engage in hardwork through<br />
every opportunity that comes<br />
your way. In some cases<br />
however, you may have to create<br />
an opportunity, this may be<br />
because you are the pioneer of a<br />
path that has never been<br />
launched.<br />
As long as you search, you will<br />
find. However, don't just stay<br />
there, search to learn.<br />
2. The Learning Process<br />
It is okay to search and find. In<br />
fact, that is what is expected of<br />
you but what sustains you on the<br />
career path is your willingness to<br />
learn. No one who knows it all,<br />
attains great heights or even<br />
remains relevant in whatever<br />
field of endeavor they are in.<br />
Be a voracious reader and a<br />
spirit-led servant. See, one of the<br />
secrets of finding and doing<br />
career is in reading and serving.<br />
Reading gives you a theoretical<br />
insight into what you may or may<br />
not enjoy doing. Serving opens<br />
you up to the real deal. In serving,<br />
you begin to know for yourself if<br />
you have the right character and<br />
the right application to things.<br />
You learn how to be resilient and<br />
build discipline. True service has<br />
a bonus. It opens up doors to your<br />
career unknowingly to you. You<br />
ask me how? Your leader would<br />
give you tasks that may seem<br />
hard and in the process of getting<br />
at it, you learn the tactics of<br />
delivering well. If not for<br />
anything, loyalty will make you<br />
work hard through service. By<br />
serving diligently, opportunities<br />
begin to beckon on you and<br />
because you must have built<br />
confidence over time, you would<br />
go head on to face whatever life<br />
brings your way.<br />
The process of learning varies<br />
from person to person. For some<br />
they may have to serve doing<br />
nothing of their own, while<br />
others may have something<br />
doing but still choose to be of<br />
service to leaders and mentors.<br />
At whatever stage you find<br />
yourself, make sure you are<br />
growing. Don't just serve<br />
because it's a process, do it with<br />
love. Service is one of the many<br />
seeds that have to die in the<br />
ground before it begins to sprout<br />
or bud. Be diligent with it and be<br />
open to learning. Everytime! Ask<br />
questions where needed. Make<br />
sure the answers you keep to<br />
heart are the ones based on truth.<br />
Don't just decide to serve<br />
anyone. Be discerning about it.<br />
Watch and Pray!<br />
Learning does not determine<br />
your success or failure in career,<br />
it prepares you for what is to<br />
come. If you would learn well,<br />
you would live well.<br />
Discerning your career is<br />
pertinent for the fulfilment of<br />
your destiny. You cannot afford<br />
to waste your time, and life by<br />
doing just what you feel like<br />
doing. You must hone your gifts<br />
with discipline, such that even<br />
when the time comes for you to<br />
move from one stage to the other,<br />
you would in the end become a<br />
master at what you do. Nothing<br />
satisfies God more than you<br />
being king in the place He has<br />
called you into. Master your art!<br />
I remember when I started out. I<br />
hardly knew what I wanted to<br />
become in life. I kind of had a<br />
relaxed life. A life that was not<br />
jolted by goals, passions and<br />
aspirations. In fact, I operated on<br />
impulse rather than by decisions.<br />
I did not have anyone demanding<br />
money from me so I did not feel I<br />
needed to have a sense of<br />
POSSIBILITIES : 11<br />
“<br />
responsibility for myself. I did<br />
not understand that everyone<br />
including myself has a life of<br />
impact and relevance to live. I<br />
was yet to understand, that it was<br />
not about me not being sort of<br />
responsible to people's needs, it<br />
was about a growth process I<br />
seriously needed to encounter.<br />
I received a high dose of mental<br />
wash when one of my mentors<br />
told me that although God has a<br />
specific plan for every man's life,<br />
it is at the discretion of man to<br />
determine how long it would take<br />
him to live out God's purpose.<br />
Those words were a navigation<br />
point for me.<br />
Be a voracious<br />
reader and a<br />
spirit-led servant<br />
”<br />
I began to volunteer for different<br />
people. I became the Teens<br />
leader around that time in church<br />
also. I seized the opportunity to<br />
be close to my Teens pastor. He<br />
gave me books to read while I<br />
asked him questions when I<br />
needed to be clear on things. It<br />
was action time for me. After that<br />
time I have had series of nuggets<br />
to jolt me at the times I needed<br />
them the most. Looking in from<br />
the outside now I realise all I<br />
needed -and we all do need - is a<br />
little push.<br />
Dear sleeping giant, there is<br />
greatness in you. So much<br />
greatness encompassed with<br />
global solutions if only you<br />
would arise and take on your<br />
work. If only you would stop<br />
acting spiritual in this career<br />
thing, waiting for something you<br />
know may never come. Start<br />
with what you have. Start with<br />
the little idea. Do something<br />
worthy.<br />
It is time to Arise! Work!<br />
Develop yourself! Enjoy your<br />
process! Deliver the world!<br />
Finish strong!

My name is James Takwan. I am a student and hail from<br />
Bansan Osikom community in Boki Local Government<br />
Area of Cross River state.<br />
In the month of February, 2017, I had a call from home that<br />
my mother, Mrs Theresa Takwan was involved in a<br />
kerosene explosion accident. The news had a toll on me, I<br />
became distraught and distracted from my studies until a<br />
friend introduced me to Mr Deji David, the President of<br />
Return Global Outreach. He prayed with me and<br />
prophesied that my mother will be heal before the end of the<br />
semester. The man of God invited me to join Arise Network<br />
Champions Family where I became a champion. Today my<br />
mother is not just healed, she is also a champion. Praise the<br />
Lord.<br />
- James Takwan (Makurdi)<br />
On the 5th of March 2017, something strange happened to me. I was urinating blood<br />
but a week before then I went for medical test and the results showed that nothing was<br />
wrong with me. So when this sickness started I was surprised and feared greatly.<br />
After several treatments, my health was not improving. I had a scan and it revealed a<br />
block in my bladder; it was hard to urinate so I had a pipe fixed into me. The doctor<br />
told me I would go home with the pipe but I said NO, and God did it. Friends and<br />
Champions kept praying with me and miraculously my health began to improve.<br />
Right now, I am completely healed, without a surgery and without any complex<br />
medical condition. Praise God, I am a champion.<br />

IN A<br />
It's one thing to be a Brand<br />
e v e r y o n e l o v e s a n d<br />
respects, and it's entirely<br />
another to be a Kingdom Brand. I<br />
believe that it's the Lord's desire<br />
to see His children represent him<br />
in every sphere of influence they<br />
find themselves. The scripture<br />
describes the believer as a light to<br />
the world. Jesus talking of John<br />
the Baptist said in John 5:35<br />
(GNT) ''John was like a lamp,<br />
burning and shining, and you<br />
were willing for a while to enjoy<br />
his light.'' Jesus further went on<br />
to say that John the Baptist was<br />
not as great as the least in the<br />
kingdom of God (Paraphrased).<br />
We can therefore deduce that we<br />
in the kingdom of God, have the<br />
capacity to quench any form of<br />
darkness in our workplace.<br />
Knowing that it is the Lord's<br />
desire to see us shine effortlessly,<br />
we must know that our shinning<br />
is for a purpose; which is to see<br />
the Kingdom of God established<br />
in our workplace (or sphere of<br />
influence). The Kingdom of God<br />
refers to God's way of doing<br />

things or the reign of Christ's<br />
dominion. As a brand developer,<br />
I know that branding is about<br />
how the world perceives your<br />
identity and what you have to<br />
offer them. Therefore to create a<br />
Kingdom brand in a perverse<br />
workplace would mean – living a<br />
life that shines brightly and<br />
represents the fullness of Christ<br />
in the workplace.<br />
This must be done on purpose<br />
a n d t a k e n w i t h u t m o s t<br />
seriousness, because the devil is<br />
not about to release any territory<br />
under his hold with ease; he's<br />
going to battle for it. A Kingdom<br />
brand has a responsibility to<br />
displace the devil out of his/her<br />
workplace and bring in God's<br />
way of doing things.<br />
...no matter how intense<br />
the darkness in your<br />
workplace or sphere<br />
of influence, the Lord<br />
has empowered you<br />

: CREATING A KINGDOM BRAND IN A PERVERSE WORKPLACE :<br />
To create a Kingdom brand in a Holy Ghost living inside of them.<br />
Perverse Workplace, we must We who have the Holy Ghost<br />
become aware of certain dwelling inside of us cannot<br />
realities. The scriptures in Isaiah afford to do less; even if it means<br />
60 reads: “darkness shall cover quitting to stand with God, don't<br />
the earth, and gross darkness the hesitate! (However, be sure to<br />
peoples”. This is exemplary of<br />
“<br />
ask the Lord for His leading).<br />
what we have in these days we<br />
are in, the darkness pervasive on People ought to wonder<br />
the earth is so intense that you what kind of human<br />
could almost cut through it; and being this is; how did<br />
the workplace is not left out. he produce such results?<br />
However in the same passage, You cannot afford to<br />
Isaiah 60, it says “but the LORD be unproductive.<br />
”<br />
would rise upon you, and His<br />
glory shall be seen over you”<br />
(Paraphrased). This is quite<br />
profound in the sense that, no<br />
matter how intense the darkness<br />
in your workplace or sphere of<br />
i n fl u e n c e , t h e L o r d h a s<br />
empowered you to outshine it;<br />
because according to John<br />
Chapter 1, the light shines in<br />
darkness and the darkness<br />
comprehends it not.<br />
A n o t h e r r e a l i t y w e m u s t<br />
understand is that we are Christ<br />
Ambassadors (2 Corinthians<br />
5:18). This is very crucial<br />
because if you get this, you'd be<br />
careful of what you do and say in<br />
y o u r w o r k p l a c e . A s a<br />
representative of the Kingdom of<br />
God, you cannot afford to be<br />
entangled with activities that<br />
don't glorify God. If it means<br />
losing that promotion or even<br />
getting fired, an ambassador of<br />
Christ would gladly do that for<br />
the sake of the King. Would you<br />
not rather be fired than drag the<br />
name of the Lord in a fraud case<br />
at your workplace? I am<br />
reminded of the three Hebrew<br />
boys in the bible who said to<br />
Nebuchadnezzar that they would<br />
not bow to his graven image, and<br />
were confident that the Lord<br />
would deliver them and if not,<br />
they would rather die. WOW!<br />
That's stunning. They were ready<br />
to die for the Kingdom of God;<br />
these are men who didn't have the<br />
F u r t h e r m o r e , a s C h r i s t<br />
Ambassadors we have to<br />
s h o w c a s e s u p e r n a t u r a l<br />
p r o d u c t i v i t y. A p a r t f r o m<br />
despising darkness, our work<br />
rate and productivity should<br />
showcase shining light. People<br />
ought to wonder what kind of<br />
human being this is; how did he<br />
produce such results? You cannot<br />
afford to be unproductive. The<br />
Holy Ghost came upon Elijah,<br />
and he outran a chariot; the Holy<br />
Ghost came upon Mary, and she<br />
conceived the Lord Jesus; the<br />
Holy Ghost came upon Peter and<br />
t h e d i s c i p l e s , a n d t h e y<br />
proclaimed the word of God with<br />
boldness. Sir, how can you have<br />
that same Holy Ghost and be<br />
unproductive? Productivity is a<br />
biblical thing, and with God's<br />
Spirit it should be supernatural<br />
f o r y o u . W h e n y o u ' r e<br />
supernaturally productive, you<br />
open the doors of your workplace<br />
to the Influence of the Kingdom<br />
of God, and this can create<br />
opportunities to share your faith<br />
with the unbelievers. I can recall<br />
being asked to use a software in<br />
the office I had never used<br />
before. I just trusted the Holy<br />
Ghost and began to try my hands<br />
on it; In 2 weeks, I started<br />
producing content with that<br />
software. Sir, the Holy Ghost<br />
enhances your productivity; you<br />
MUST be productive!<br />
POSSIBILITIES : 15<br />
There's a concept I see in<br />
Obadiah 1:21; It says “…saviors<br />
would rise upon Mount Zion and<br />
would judge the mountains of<br />
Esau, and the Kingdom would be<br />
the Lord's.” (Paraphrased). Let<br />
me explain this concept. The<br />
word saviors began with a small<br />
letter, however when it refers to<br />
Jesus in other passages, the letter<br />
– s – would appear in capital. The<br />
word again is saviors, not savior<br />
meaning that it's referring to us,<br />
not Christ. That passage also<br />
says, “They would rise upon<br />
Mount Zion” which is symbolic<br />
to the Church. Furthermore, the<br />
passage says, “they would Judge<br />
the mountains of Esau”. You<br />
would see that in Judges Chapter<br />
1 that the Judges were to lead the<br />
people of Israel. The mountains<br />
of Esau is symbolic of the<br />
earthen world; the systems,<br />
institutions and structures of this<br />
world. The passage ends by<br />
saying “…and the kingdom<br />
would be the Lord's”. Let me<br />
rewrite that passage the way I see<br />
it; “…Believers would rise<br />
from the church mountain and<br />
w o u l d b e l e a d e r s a n d<br />
influencers in all the systems<br />
and institutions of this world,<br />
and then the world would open<br />
up to the Influence of God's<br />
Kingdom”. Isn't that awesome?
Looking at this concept I would<br />
say that, you're a savior to that<br />
workplace and you're meant to<br />
shine, lead, and influence that<br />
environment till God's way of<br />
doing things is dominant there.<br />
You're to bring remarkable<br />
solutions that would make others<br />
dumb-founded. You will face<br />
challenges trying to take the<br />
Kingdom to your workplace, but<br />
if you stand your ground, you<br />
will overcome because in Christ<br />
you're already an overcomer. A<br />
vivid example was at my former<br />
workplace; they would normally<br />
play lustful music out loud, when<br />
I protested, many began to<br />
wonder who this guy was;<br />
however, with persistence I got<br />
them to reduce their lustful and<br />
loud music. It's important to note<br />
that being a kingdom brand<br />
doesn't mean you'd be religious<br />
a n d t h e n d i s c r i m i n a t e<br />
unbelievers; you're to live a life<br />
that shines the light of Christ and<br />
attracts them to Jesus. It is to<br />
blaze brightly that darkness<br />
cannot stand before you.<br />
“<br />
...you're a savior to that<br />
workplace and you're<br />
meant to shine, lead,<br />
and influence that<br />
environment till God's<br />
way of doing things is<br />
dominant there<br />
”<br />
I remember working in a place<br />
and the gateman said to me<br />
“pastor, you should be on the<br />
pulpit, and not in an office”. I<br />
replied him, “who told you I'm a<br />
pastor?” His words hit me, as I<br />
pondered on it; he must have<br />
Enrol for World<br />
Class Leadership<br />
Training@<br />
seen some light to an extent he<br />
had to call me pastor. This should<br />
be the norm of every believer.<br />
People should look for you and<br />
be saying “have you seen<br />
pastor?”, because you're shining<br />
so brightly that their minds can<br />
only conceive you to be a pastor.<br />
I also recall when my manager at<br />
my former workplace, could not<br />
resolve an issue with a customer<br />
and he escaped from the office,<br />
asking me to attend to the man<br />
because he thought one way or<br />
the other I would solve the<br />
customer's complaint – by God's<br />
grace, I was able to.<br />
