How Money affects Leadership

Image
Revelation 5:10 “He has made us unto God kings…” many Christians want to create the impression and are always diverting the attention of people from prosperity and power believing it is not Godly and hereby making people believe that the key for making heaven is poverty, forgetting the fact that we are made unto God as kings because God himself that created us in his image is full of riches and prosperity in abundance. Christians are supposed to be in the public sector first, we are supposed to be in leadership and in rulership first before we start thinking of praying for people. Praying for people is secondary, people you have not guided; it will be difficult to pray for them. But we have changed the narrative, we are praying for people before we guide them which is very wrong, a person who does not know the meaning of prayers being prayed will not take it seriously.  The order is that He has made us unto our God kings and then priest then we can reign on the earth so...

The Criteria for Governance

A Sermon Excerpt from  Dr Martins Atanda  Government is established by God for divine purposes. Without the right people in government, the program of God will die. I will show you two scriptures. Romans 13:1 “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities…...” How will God say everyone must submit if government is not of God? He said everyone, nobody is left out, whether you are a pastor or not, everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has establish. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Government is not a “wayo-wayo” matter, if you are not planning to get into politics, you are deceiving yourself. Sinners will continue to rule over you and mess up your life, then when they begin to mess you up, you will start doing prayers for them, the prayer you would have saved if you were the one there or if your brother is there who has been instructed on how to govern. You heard...

Knowing What to Do! (Part 2)

The realm of the spirit were having discussions, there was another man in the Bible whose name was Lot, they were discussing him and came to the earth to discuss him with Abraham yet the man didn’t hear at all, he didn’t perceive nothing until a physical angel went to that place, may you be sensitive; you cannot afford not to create room for the spirit, life essentially flows from the spirit realm. Make God recognize that you can trust him and you can obey. If you are not ready to obey, tell him not to say some things because he can tell you some things that may be tough, if you know you will not obey it don’t pray that prayer, or don’t make yourself ready, but once you begin to give attention, God will speak, once you are confused about anything say “God, I need you to clarify this issue” and he will speak. Do you now discover how much you are in control? Before things happen, months before they occur - you have seen them, people will just look at you and see that you are ...

Knowing What to Do!

It is my responsibility as commanded from scripture to ensure that you understand discernment, The Bible says the priest must teach, that is the responsibility, and that is what we have been doing.  We opened up the story of Rebecca, Jacob, and Esau and the dynamics of discernment from them, we just raised some questions, “Why didn’t Esau engage the mother when Isaac had spoken to him - this is what my father said?” he just wanted to live alone, that is why we are in network. So if you see things happening in your life you can trace it, you can process, you can just know that this thing is a harvest, this is happening because you have done this before. The Bible in Proverbs 24 says “if you forbear to deliver those who have been appointed to death does God not know?”, so if you give an excuse - no problem, they will take your excuse, but on the day you need help too, people will be giving excuses to you.  So if you want to change things - the harvest you will get, y...

A Sermon Excerpt from  Dr Martins Atanda  FAITHFULNESS: a trade mark of those God establishes as a leaders. Those that God will establish as leaders have to be faithful, George Bush had been faithful, he was faithful as a Governor he became a President. Bill Clinton has been faithful, he was faithful as a Governor he became a President. Obasanjo had been faithful, he was faithful the first time when he was the Head of State, he handed over - how many of you know he would have retained power that time and refuse to hand over, he was faithful. Faithfulness is a trade mark of those God would point and establish as a leader, faithfulness. Cyrus was faithful, God told him “Deliver my people Israel, when you deliver them from the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, hand over all the gold to them” how many of you know he did it, he was faithful.  Faithfulness, let me establish that a little bit, let me establish it from the scriptures  Numbers 20:22 22 The whole Israelite c...
