THE WAY NOT TO RUN:

Many years ago I came to Lagos; the most populous black city in the world, in the most populous black nation of the world. The way of life of the people was strange to me. Everyone is in a rush in Lagos, running at the slightest alert, but soon enough I adjusted to the lifestyle. EKO!

The irony of this city is that a lot more people are running for the wrong reasons and very much ignorant also. I quite remember in 2001; September precisely. It was a Sunday evening and we were playing soccer in the church premises as part of our youth program when suddenly we began to hear loud banging sounds that shook foundation of buildings. There was panic everywhere. People began to run helter-skelter without knowing the direction where the perceived problem was coming from. We thought it was war! The loud banging continued for more than one hour.
At the end of the day, it was gathered that more people died out of ignorance than the explosion from the Nigerian army armory at Ikeja cantonment, Lagos. People out of fear, ignorance and shallow mind sets plunged themselves into deadly canal in Ejigbo; a community far from the actual position of the explosion.
Many people still live their lives in this manner. Many run the race they little or nothing about, never counting the cost of the race they get involve in, they do not even know where they’re headed to nor why they are in the race in the first place. Even when a man has a vision, wisdom teaches that; it should be made plain. Understand the vision, establish the feasibility and then RUN.
Part of your success in life depends on visibility and clarity. "It is not enough to start a church just because you prayed for the sick and he got healed." Have counted the process and seen the end?
Hab.2: 2, “And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

1. Do not run with an unclear vision. Half vision isn’t enough for the race of a lifetime.
2. Do not run because others are running.  Your timing may be different from theirs.
3. Do not run in the same direction with everyone. Their destination may be different from yours.
4. Do not run without asking questions. Good counsel can become handy like a map.
5. Do not run without a reason.
Migration birds know their time of flight and do not move because every other birds are flocking. They know their destination and therefore are focused on their goal.

WEAPONS OF ENGAGEMENT:

In spiritual warfare, there are only weapons of engagement and no rules of engagement. The devil does not deserve your pity. Remember that you are at vantage position and therefore must put all that are at your disposal to make sure you put the enemy where he deserves and belong. It is you who determines how the battle should go a d how it ends. You have all the power of heaven and earth on your side.

Mathew 28:18 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”

This same power is available for me and you. It is the in the same capacity it was with Jesus Christ, that it is with us.

THE HOLY COMMUNION:
The Communion is one of the strongest ordinances given to us by Jesus Christ himself. It is the table of judgement on our enemies. It is the strong combination of body and the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus adjoined his disciples to e engage in the breaking of bread for his remembrance. The remembering of his complete work on the cross; that he that the son had died for is free from the snare of the enemy.
The Holy Communion when engaged as a weapon against the enemy, brings swift judgement against the works of Satan in the life of a believer.
There is this story about a woman who had been pregnant for over three years . She was feeling the presence of the baby in her womb, but no x-ray or scanning could detect it. She had carried on with this oppression for years until one day the Communion was administered by revelation, and that day she was delivered of a child. All glory be to God!
We have heard testimonies of how people's businesses the turned around by the ministry of the Holy Communion. People who were sick and left for dead got healed after partaking in the Holy Communion. Personally, l break bread with my family every first day of the week and we have seen the power of God revealed.

PROPHETIC INSIGHT/INSTRUCTIONS:
The Prophetic ministry is a strong and viable tool in engaging the enemy to his fall. Prophetic insight brings to the fore the plan of the enemy. God has in different occasions used his prophets to foil the plans of the enemies of His people Israel.

2Kins 6:11, “Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel? 12And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.”

The same way God used His prophets of old, He is using them  now to our advantage against the enemy. Remember King Jehoshaphat, how the prophet gave instructions on how to win the battle against  seemly stronger opponents in 2Chronicles 20? Believe in the prophets of God!
It was through revelation that we were able to understand importance of destroying the idols of my grandfather’s house. These demonic influences had humiliated the family for decades. Death and poverty was a common identity, but thank the Lord for His mercy and grace.
If in your family there is a common misfortune that has ran through generations, you do not need a prophet to tell you that there is fire on the mountain if you are reading this book. It is time for you to arise from your slumber and engage the enemy in a recovery battle. It is time to reclaim your destiny. Sleep no more!
Mathew13:25,”but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.”
