Book Description
Many people destined for great lives of exploits live and die as averages; a disappointment to their destiny and the world they were created to impact. Many even fail totally and end up as liabilities to the same world they were designed for as assets. Too often, the blame is laid at the devil’s doorstep. Average lives never take responsibility for their averages; failures hardly acknowledge their pivotal roles in their failings. Somebody must be the cause. We externalize the causes and exonerate ourselves of all faults when things go wrong. However, the truth in life is that we have so much to do with what happens to us. Either by carelessness, laziness or errors of omission or commission, we can hardly honestly wholly blame the devil, his agents or anybody we feel comfortable enough to blame, especially when they are not offered an opportunity of self defence. This book examines how we may be guilty. It x-rays the booby traps and pitfalls we need to watch out for in life as we march towards destiny fulfillment. These pitfalls have no respect for ages or titles. They can undo anybody; young or old, rich or poor; the famous or the unknown. Great marriages have been broken; excellent careers have been truncated; loving homes have become war zones; wonderful businesses have crumbled due to some of these avoidable, but often taken for granted pitfalls. Therefore, a prayerful study of this book will help you locate where you are on your pathway to fulfill your destiny and watch out for those little foxes that can prevent your arrival. May the eyes of your understanding be enlightened as you read and may you walk in the grace that enables men win the race.

Pages : 160
Book Description
Discover The Purpose For Which You Were Born and Learn How to Fulfil Your God-given Destiny We only need to look at the example of the Apostle Paul's life to understand that, until we have an encounter with God, it is quite possible to pursue completely the wrong path in life. How could a man called by God, set apart to spend his life preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, spend the early part of his life wreaking havoc against the Church? The answer is destiny. At this point in his life, Paul was still ignorant of the purpose for which God had called him. From this we learn a vital lesson: If you do not know what your God-given destiny in life is, you may inadvertently spend your energy destroying what you should be building. In this book, Pastor Wisdom Dafeamekpor teaches the vital keys to discovering your purpose in life, so that you can fulfil your destiny. Examining the lives of biblical characters, he shows readers the qualities needed to take hold of our godly destiny and helps us to avoid the pitfalls that many fall into. He illustrates the character traits of those people who will fulfil their destiny in life, and shows us how to overcome the 'destiny stoppers'. Read this book and learn how you can live a life of purpose and fulfilment in Christ.

Beware of Pastors

Pages : 80
Book Description
Beware of Pastors...Pastors Beware is a book written with stunning simplicity and power, which teaches a haunting and amazing truth about the unpredictability and the wonder of the Church of Christ in these times. A book that is as compelling, as it is thought-provoking, Kolawole Oyeyemi weaves a powerful revelation of Truth in the face of unimaginable happenings. With the grace of a master Teacher, he explores the weaknesses of the body of Christ, and the strength it takes to conquer our greatest obstacles; revealing how building on the strongest foundation, which Christ has already laid, can yield the most unexpected rewards... and how the most winding journey, as a believer can begin with a purposeful step towards that very foundation Without a doubt, false prophets thrive on the ignorance and/or the laziness of the believer. The tragedy is that they are multiplying; but the truth is that God has a containment plan! As much as believers are endangered by these false ministers, Ministers are also endangered by forces within the body out to destroy ministries. This Holy Ghost inspired book is by turns, profound, poignant, moving, and warmly life changing, as it examines the place and the importance of relationships in the fulfillment of the believer's destiny, especially the relationship with spiritual leaders. It also examines how and what the Ministers of God who want to stand and remain standing must do in order to ensure the fulfillment of their ministries by God's standards. With unerring insight and conviction, Kolawole Oyeyemi explains that when believers are armed with the requisite knowledge, they will not be cheap preys in the hand of false ministers; so also when true Ministers of God are well equipped, they will be able to avoid these traps.

Pages : 241
Book Description
Not a Fan has already called more than one million readers to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple--moving from fan to follower in their relationship with Jesus. After years of serving God, pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman had a startling revelation: for too long, he had been living as a fan of Jesus; someone who tried to make Christianity seem as appealing, comfortable, and convenient as he possibly could to others. Idleman decided something had to change--he needed to embark on the journey of becoming a completely committed follower of God, not just a fan. Fans want to be close enough to Jesus to get all the benefits, but not so close that it requires sacrifice, while followers are all in and completely committed to Christ. Not a Fan gives you the tools you need to determine exactly where you stand when it comes to your relationship with Jesus. No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, Not a Fan calls you to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple. With frankness and a touch of humor, Idleman invites you to: Examine your relationship with God Determine if you're following Jesus or just following the rules Pray the way Jesus prayed Start truly living for the one who gave his all for you This expanded and updated version of Not a Fan also includes a new introduction and an entirely new chapter about how to practically live out the book's core message. Join Idleman as he challenges you to take an honest look at your relationship with Jesus and discover what it really means to be a follower.

Homo Deus
Author: Yuval Noah Harari
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062464353
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
Official U.S. edition with full color illustrations throughout. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity’s future, and our quest to upgrade humans into gods. Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. This may seem hard to accept, but, as Harari explains in his trademark style—thorough, yet riveting—famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonalds than from being blown up by Al Qaeda. What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda? As the self-made gods of planet earth, what destinies will we set ourselves, and which quests will we undertake? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century—from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? This is the next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus. With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.
