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 />

MINISTRY<br />

BEYOND<br />

Four WALLS<br />

Deji David Olanrewaju<br />

...the President of RETURN<br />

GLOBAL OUTREACH; a<br />

Teacher of God’s Word,<br />

A u t h o r , P u b l i s h e r ,<br />

Leadership and Business<br />

Coach.<br />

‘Deji David Olanrewaju<br />

leads an increasing number<br />

o f C h a m p i o n s a c r o s s<br />

Campuses and Corporate<br />

organizations, who are<br />

leading Kingdom life and<br />

capturing their spheres for<br />

Jesus.<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 />

POSSIBILITIES : 2<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 />

Ministry in contemporary times<br />

restrictions. I am of the opinion<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 />

”<br />

MEDIA PRODUCTIONS: I<br />

a m s t u n n e d w h e n I v i s i t<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 />

POSSIBILITIES : 3<br />

Sunday service. It is the Word<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 />

t r a d i t i o n , r e l i g i o n a n d<br />

mediocrity. The world must hear<br />

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

you. Arise!

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 />

reaching out to Secondary<br />

Schools, rural communities<br />

and the less privileged.<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 />

: GUARDING YOUR HOME AGAINST THE ENEMY :<br />

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 />

must be the most constant of all<br />

the keys mentioned above. To<br />

knowledge on passion 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 />

to outshine<br />

it


: 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 />

Ambassadors we have to<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 />

This is what it means to be a<br />
