3 Relationships a Leader Must Have!

The purpose of the leadership Institute is to prepare men and women for Public Sector Leadership. People who are equipped to manage the much needed change / transformation that we want God to bring to our leadership systems and governance. 

Cases that readily come to mind are those of the Airforce Boss who was a Christian. He did not understand diplomacy. He did not spend money to execute projects because he did not want money to be stolen and because of that he failed. 
The other case was in Plateau State where the Christian leader delegated because he could not manage funds. He did not engage diplomacy as well because any idea that did not originate from him was trashed. He did not welcome superior arguments because they were not taught diplomatic engagement in leadership and governance. God need dynamic and flexible leaders. Diplomacy was seen as sin by the church. They did not understand what Jesus meant by let your Nay be Nay and your Yay be Yay. 

Pastors lack what it takes to connect with leaders. Leaders in the political space do not go to church regularly. When they manage to come, they are treated like Demigods. 
There was Odua Association I was always invited to preach in their meetings. It was not a church. Other preachers made them feel over important and watered down their messages to be politically correct. Many pastors do not know how to handle people in Leadership. 
All of these challenges gave flesh to the vision of transformational Leadership strategies the Lord gave to me ( Apostle). There were consultations from Sokoto to Port Harcourt, then to move to Abuja to set up a leadership church. 
Experiment in America: House Church @ 10am for your friends in an informal setting with food, snacks and drinks after. 
Leadership in public spaces and in politics was never taught in regular churches. 
It is high time we went back into governance. The few that ventured into politics were abandoned. No pastor followed up on them. They were left alone and they did lots of abominable things and failed. 

There are three relationships that are a must for a leader and these are 
1.A Pastor
2.A Prophet
3.An intercessor, 
Your pastor must be someone who understands the dynamics of leadership.

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...

How Money affects Leadership

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...

Discernment in Leadership

DISCERNMENT IN LEADERSHIP (Part 1) A Sermon excerpt by Dr Martins Atanda God was speaking to a company of angels, a company of spiritual men, a company of people made perfect, spirits that are made perfect. In Hebrews Chapter 12 the Bible says when we come to the mountain of God we have not come unto the Mountain of Sinai that is fearful to touch: you cannot approach. Mount Zion is a celebration place; Mount Sinai is a fearful place. There are different revelations of God so you need to understand where you are, when you come to Mount Sinai that is where you are going to get the law and God who is going to give you the law is not going to be smiling at your face, he is going to be looking at you straight and talk to you, but when you come to the Mount of celebration then you can build a temple and all of you can eat and drink and dance, that is Zion: they are two different things.  God was calling a meeting and Ahab was on the agenda, Ahab didn’t know. May you not be ig...
