QUOTES
INTRODUCTION
It baffles me a lot as nowadays Christian Youth are void of the vision to do exceedingly great things. Many are satisfied with their present due state and they concealed unfavorable situations to themselves. They are not tending to move even a step forward or higher while they keep on complaining without taking viable step to change situations for themselves.
John 14:12… “Verily, verily, I say to you; he that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works shall he do; Because I go to my Father” KJV
Many believed in this promise but give a challant response towards the work that need to be done. No wonder Christ denied some people despite serving him with their whole strength but not from a genuine heart… Matt
1John 3:18… “My little Children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth” KJV
Some long for it; to be great, without setting their strength for the great task that will benefit and work for them. No wonder a friend of mine need to say let me eat and enjoy now, when there is no food I will fast. Know for sure that enjoyment before suffering is not in alignment with the principle of God in term if greatness. You need to suffer for a short term to enjoy for a long term run and not to enjoy for a short term and now suffer for a long term. The suffering is all about working for enjoyment.
Do not be deceived by any miracle. Christ himself is the miracle and before you get it, you must work for it. Work by his principle because “life is govern by principle and not by miracle”. The principles of God are His sound Doctrine/teaching you receive or hear, His rules and regulations (commandments).
What you need to understand to make exploit all round your life is contained in this spiritual book. It has been pick to pieces for your understanding. Read and understand so that you get the knowledge of every failure militating against your life. It’s believed that every failure in life is traceable to lack of knowledge. No wonder God said “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” Hosea 4:6a
Wisdom is good, but in all your getting get understanding. In the process of getting understanding you come across knowledge. Here, we are going to consider Daniel; the man who understands the principle of God, he work them out into action and was able to operate as an exceedingly great soldier for God. He excel above his colleagues both spiritually, maritally, academically, financially, in Leadership roles and all round his life.
Do you want to be?
CHAPTER ONE
HEAVENLY CONFESSION
Dan 11:32… “And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall be corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits” KJV
Exploit is an interesting brave, unusual or extraordinary act or event that makes people wonder whenever it is thought about. Exploit is an act or deed, especially a brilliant or heroic. To exploy to the greatest possible advantage. Exploits means extraordinary things, breaking the barrier and working above limitations.
Case Study :
An adage says “the size of a man does not open the door, he need the key as well” Doing exploit need you to exercise some energetic activities that can be achieved with ease as far as you could learn and obey to do them. As traveling, mining, and digging to exploit minerals from the ground is a must tactics to achieve your goal in getting expensive raw materials, so also in God exploitation you need to offer something, undergo some high potential easy level to achieve your goal. Here, no magic or human power but God in the process makes it done.
CITERIAS TO DO EXPLOIT …Dan 11:32
vs32b1: but the people that do KNOW THEIR GOD
vs32b2: SHALL BE STRONG
vs32b3: AND DO EXPLOITS
The Bible text above has illustrated the major keystone making exploits in God. It gives us the idea of doing exploit in our daily life, they are the road map to making exploit; you first know your God, you get stronger and you emerge to be an explorer.
Knowing God… 11:32b1
It’s necessary to first know God before you start to be an explorer of destiny and great things in life. Not knowing God makes you do unknown things that will not benefit your life. He’s whom you must first recognize and know because he does the parboiled job and you do the finishing, vice versa. He owns all machinery you need to do exploits and he supervises you to put you right of any unforeseen errors.
You must know who God is and who He is to you (Man).
CHAPTER TWO
KNOWING GOD 1
"Phil 3:10" That i may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering, being made conformable to His death” KJV
Paul the Apostle explained somethings he has done to know God… Phil 3:7-9 and he also highlighted those things he need to know about Christ In knowing God the more.
Phil 3:10… that I may know;
Him(Christ)
Power of His resurrection
Fellowship of His suffering;
…being made conformable to his death.
Vs11… if by any means I might ATTAIN to the RESURRECTION of the DEAD.
The strength you get in knowing God gives you the chance to attain which is a significant of a possibility in your life. So therefore, to know God you must first know HIM(Christ). You need to give your life to Christ (Phil 3:7) “but that things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ”
Sin and pleasure are deceitful gain to us but loss to Christ because they are life and destiny waster in which God is not happy about.
Romans 6:1-12 show us way/steps to know Him (Christ)
Hear the good news
Accept Him(Christ)
Confess your sins and
Forsake your sins
After then, you live to be righteous.
Phil 3:9... “And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by Faith” KJV
Knowing Him is as well knowing whom he is. As the Savior of your soul, deliverer and your refuge. As the only son of God, firstborn over all creatures (Eph 3:9, Gen 1:1, John 1:1-4). After all, you know what he stands for. How valuable he’s in your life and you get to recognize and know more about His power.
When you know Him, he does some work of redemption , regeneration, and deliverance in your life. So therefore, the only company /factory you need to know and connect with for exploitation is Christ Jesus; The great explorer!
Heb 11:6… “but without faith it is impossible to please Him: for that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him”
CHAPTER THREE
KNOWING GOD 2
POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION
Knowing the power of His resurrection is as well experiencing the power and fulfilling the impact of the power of Christ resurrection.
John 11:25… “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live”
The resurrection of Jesus Christ play important role in the life of a Christian as the power thereof worketh out divination, revival, Salvation, breakthrough, liberation, deliverance, victory and liberty. Christ resurrection is accompanied with His living, suffering, crucifixion and death. He live to die for our sins, so therefore we must be ready to die and resurrect back to life again i.e. from the state of being alive to sin to the state of being alive to Christ.
Gal 5:24… “and they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lust”
Christ died and arose to live anew with God. You need to die and bury the sinful man/flesh in you to be for God and you start to live a new lifestyle as God desires… 2Corinth 5:17
John 17:2… “as you have given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as you have given Him”
You need to leave the level of carnality to spirit filled level, all you need to do is to crucify the flesh, bury them and become alive unto God.
The power of resurrection break barriers, bandages, chains, hindrances, limitations, curses, generational problems and destroy all negative effect of our life to making exploit.
Have you experience the power of resurrection?
FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERING
Knowing the fellowship of His suffering is as well being partakers of His suffering. He expects you to live, suffer, and enjoy as he experienced. Being partaker of His suffering, he expects you to deny yourself of some pleasure, Good but evil things and to suffer reproach.
A cross bearer after Christ is named a good Christian ready for exploitation.
Matt 16:24… “then said Jesus unto his disciples, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me” KJV
Luke 14:27… “And whomsoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple” KJV
The cross is an emblem of shame, suffering, or even death. You must not mind this as you follow Him (Heb11:36-38). He expect you to live as he lived.
He was tempted, persecuted, chastised and rebuked: 11Timo 3:10-12, Phil 1:19-20, Heb 12:5-13
1Petet 4:16… “yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God on this behalf” KJV
He suffer reproach, was denied and rejected
He prayed, fasted and minister to Succeed and Excel
He suffered to succeed
You must learn to persevere, take longsuffering and be able to endure hardness, in all this you become part of the branch of Christ… John 15:1-7
John 15:1-2… “I an the true vine, and my Father is the husband man. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit” KJV
Our life is made from God., we depend on him for existence. So, whatever that comes our way, we are to live in endurance to attain the set target /goal for our life (Psalm 30:5, Jer 29:11) All will come, no escape route “preparing to escape the fellowship of His suffering, you are preparing to lose your worth in life and in Heaven”
Being partaker of Christ suffering, God will recognize you as his own. You know him and He Knows you.
Phil1:20-21… “according to my earnest expectations and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain”
Does your life portray the life of Christ? The great Explorer !
CHAPTER FOUR
SHALL BE STRONG
… 11:32b11
To be strong is to be able to breakthrough difficulties and hardness, making possibility real out of impossibilities; operating extraordinarily.
Isaiah 40:31… “ but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint” KJV
Getting stronger come after you know God. Before you know God you are weak, void of power and strength, no vision and life in you. But the visibility of God in your life gives you power and strength to be stronger for exploitation. Having strong hope is making a last long decision… you get stronger in God’s ability, strength and faith. Your Christian life get more rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus. You become resistance to temptation and fall, untouchable for; your enemies, devil and his arch angels, failure and disappointment. It’s of the operation “No turning back”
Things you must be strong about are the materials, equipment and machinery you need for the exploit. So therefore, you must be strong in faith, power /strength, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, mind, thinking, planning, word of God, prayer, Christ doctrine, grace, truth, goal setting, belief etc. In all this, you get the power, authority, freedom and chance to do exploit.
CHAPTER FIVE
ACADEMIC EXPLOIT 1
OVERCOMING THE BARRIERS TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
One major key to making exploit academically is taking God first… Matt t6:32-34. Attaining success especially good success is demanding and costly. For an unbeliever, success could be achieved through dubious means in a quick succession but it is not for a believer.
Criteria’s, qualities, virtues, lifestyle needed to reach the peak of success:
1. Experience of a new life: 2Cor 5:17-21
2Corin 5:17… “therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new.
creature. Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”
2. Counselor /Discipler: Prov 15:22,19:20.
You need a senior believer to put you through some challenges. Proverbs 19:20… “hear council, and receive instructions, that thou mates be wise in thy later end”
3. Vision: Prov 29:18.
“Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he”
Know and discover God’s purpose for your life as you relate with Him.
4. God and your discipler /counselor. They will help you to make the right choices as you go on in life and to Chart the course of your life correctly, you also need to avoid distractions in this process.
5. Information: Nehemiah 1:1-4… “the words of Here the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chislem, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace. That Hanam, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and asked them concerning the Jews that has escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach : the will of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven” KJV
If you are not informed, you will be deformed. You must be informed to be reformed.
6. Sacrifice: 1Corinth 10:23
You need to give up some things to pursue your goals.
Dan 1:7a… “but Daniel proposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the kings meat” KJV
They include wrong friends, excessive timer on T.V, games,
internet, social networks and some religious activities where necessary You need not belong to every unit in the Fellowship or Church. Belong to things that are beneficial and not that are good and be ready to balance academics with spiritual assignment.
7. Patience and endurance:
Heb10:36… “for we have need of patience, that after yesterday have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise…”
Be patient to allow God launch you gradually into His will for you.
8. Good company: Prov 13:20… “he that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed”
The kind of read mate you have, prayer colleague and fellowship.
groups. Some parties you attend may be injurious to your
academics pursuit.
9. Hardworking and Diligence… 2 Thessa 3:8-12, Eccl 9:10.
Don’t consider any course to be too hard or lecture /lecturer. Do a lot of research and read wide.
10. Faithfulness… Matt 25:21; Prov 28:20
Prov 28:20… a faithful man shall abound with blessings : but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be “innocent”. In doing assignment, don’t depend on photocopy but do it yourself. Shun examination malpractice as they don’t give expected success but only give expected mark.
11. Set a goal /target for yourself
Setting a goal for yourself is another way of having hope even when breakdown comes. The first can be the last as the last can still be the first. Repeaters today can be the best tomorrow.
In working success in academics, you must be able to set target above limitation. If able to breakthrough all barriers or forces, you may exceed your set goals. You are therefore making exploit.
Sometimes, people may see it this way:
Excellent -----------100% SUCCESS (EXPLOIT)
Above Average-----80%
Average -------------60%
Under Average -------0-20%
Do not settle for good where excellence is possible. A more brilliant person outside God has all tendency to fail if not careful and an under average and below average have always tendency to rise to success to make exploit in God.
The level, rate and quality of your success make you do exploit. It’s not how far, but how well!
CHAPTER SIX
ACADEMIC EXPLOIT 2
(HINDRANCES TO ACADEMICS EXPLOIT)
The following are foreseen hindrances to our success in life that must be avoided.
1. A Faulty beginning/foundation: Matt 7:26-27; Psalm 11:3
Psalm 11:3… “if the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?” Forged certificate, result gotten from examination malpractices, falsify age to get job or admission etc. Examination malpractice s will only give expected mark but not expected success. So therefore, if you are not successful you haven’t pass at all.
2. Lack of determination/Daily planning e.g. setting of timetable for yourself. Failing to plan, you are planning to fail. “Aspire to inspire not to expire”.
3. Laziness, idleness and procrastination…
Procrastination is the thief of time and time lost cannot be recovered. Do assignment, prepare for exams early enough.
4. Love for the world… 1Timo 6:9-10, 1Jhn 5:15-17
Money, material, fame, wrong clubs, association, unions on campus. You may soon find yourself promoting the culture of this world and the traditions of men. It eat up precious time you would have invested in serious study of your courses.
5. Independence and self confidence… Eccles 4:9-12, Prov16:18,
Prov 16:18… “pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty Spirit before a fall”
The message is do not be over ambitious, allow space, time and counsel to help your convictions. Do not compete with, envy or try to hinder the progress of another; do not be self-centered (Eccl 4:4). Do not trust in human wisdom and strength for the arm of flesh will surely fail you (Isa 3:1). Avoid activities, attitudes or company that can put you in trouble. Avoid any form of corruption, bribery, dishonesty or crime. Always stand clear, clean and on the truth and you would have no course to be afraid.
Also seek counsel on issues that you cannot handle such as threats, harassment, co-existing with other people etc. Now, you must understand that; the devil, witchcraft, wizards, demons etc cannot hinder your success if you are rooted and grounded in Christ (Job 1:1-12; 42:12, Matt 16:17-18) Ignorance still tie us to devil bondage despite confessing Christ as Jesus has overcome them for us on the cross (Col 2:13-15). If you have attained any success through dubious means before giving your life to Jesus, you may need to do restitution. But before then, seek counseling from elders in the Faith so that you could receive proper guidance on how to go about it to avoid compounding the problem.
In a nutshell, read Prov 22:29, 2Timo 2:15, 1Timo 4:11
You have the potential of making success in you. Bring your academics life to God and let him do the best for you. For as you do your best, he do the rest.
CHAPTER SEVEN
MARITAL EXPLOIT 1
(GOVERNING ROADMAP TO MARITAL EXPLOIT IN MARRIAGE)
Marriage is the living together in oneness of a man and woman willed together to become husband and wife. Husband which means Leader, head, Chief, controller, worker, first, overseer, director, manager is the main man while wife which means Helper, Assistance, Second, Subordinate, Receiver, Deputy, Cleaver is the main woman.
God created man first and see reason to create woman thereafter. To live for man is the real dealing behind her creature not as slave but a helper, subordinate and second in person… Gen 2:21;23, 1Corinth 11:11-12. It need the joining of the two as one. Any marriage /marital affair without proper joining is outside Gods plan. So therefore, you must understand marriage as living together of two who has been joined together involving God’s … Gen 2:24
Marriage is a set conduct that has its own governing principle lay down by God. It’s made for man to live a splendid life of humility to one another. It’s starting a new life afresh… forgetting the past. Marriage is a school to learn, A church to serve. As general church is, personal church, so as well marriage is a church for couples to fellowship because it involve God in the process.
MARRIAGE => MAKING ALL RIGHT REAL IN ALL GENERAL ENDEAVOR
No for sure that to all celebration in life, the basic celebration that back up your success or that determines your success in all is WEDDING CEREMONY. Other ceremony like naming, birthday, jubilation, graduation, coronation, sent forth, convocation, swearing in, wake keep, glorious exit are all result of your achievement in which some are those you will not even witness and how they are planned for.
AGE STAGES TO MARRIAGE :
We are not describing this to what God plan but to what we know and understand should be to the principle that govern life. “Life is govern by principles and not by miracle”
Stage 1: Young Teenager => 9-13yrs
Battling with all kind of life activities /endeavors without
matured knowledge /understanding.
Stage 2: Teenager Youth => 13-19yrs
Decide your carrier: academics /future /spiritual
/moral/ministry. Have idea of what marriage is. If ripe in all
aforementioned above, you can find yourself in marriage
(especially females), but not the best state /stage to rush into
marriage because you still need some tutoring /mentoring.
Stage 3: Mature Youth => 19-25yrs
Decide your marital life (through prayer etc).
Ripe for marriage: Must have been matured in mind, age and Emotion.
Stage 4: Adult Youth => 25-40yrs
Attain /Achieve academics plan.
Fulfil marital plan and other things you decide or planned for.
When you do not marry within this age/stage, you have problem. Either Spiritual, foundational, curse or personal issues. Many are deceived and wasting there precious time by saying God time is the best without working to know the time, how the time will come, and how to meet up with the time. If you are believing in that which is also the best, you must be ready to work as faith without work is dead.
Stage 5: Mature Adult => 40-65yrs
Build your marriage /family and set a successful marital life.
Govern your life through Christ.
Be fruitful and multiply.
Stage 6: Adult => 68-80yrs
Record Successful marriage.
Build sub-family /marriage (children marital life/marriage).
Stage 7: Old Adult => 80 and above.
Reap what you sow.
Go to rest.
CHAPTER EIGHT
MARITAL EXPLOIT 2
PRINCIPLE /DOCTRINES OF MARRIAGE
Marriage governing principles are highlighted below:
Its between a man and a woman… Gen 2:21-23
Its created / lay down by God… Gen 2:24
It involve joining of the two and the bed undefiled… Heb 13:4
Marriage is based on the standard, purpose and principle set by God… 11Timo 2:19
Its to be fruitful and multiply… Gen 1:22-28
To satisfy God ordained gift within the marriage e.g. love, friendship, communion, sex… 1Corith 7:2-3
To live to help one another… 1Corinth 11:11-12
To fulfil God divine Ministry… Eph 5:22-27, 1Corinth 7:12-17
No divorce… 1Corinth 7:10-11;12-16
Its not a sin if you do not marry. Its necessary but not compulsory… 1Corinth 7:1-2, 7-9
Widow/widowers can remarry… 1Corith 7:39
Note, marriage is never an avenue for sexual abuse. When you give your marriage all for sex, it can override you as the opportunity is free. I once watch a life show of a couple some times ago on Space TV who are being interviewed on a marital matter. A question wad asked that if your spouse demand for oral sex will you give or respond. The wife answer yes and the husband also supported backing it up with a bible passage that we should please our spouse. This is obvious as sex will soon take over the family and if sex take over, trouble has erupted. Be careful as you must live your sexual life with care, wisdom in marriage is highly profitable in term of marriage, and don’t take law into your hands in marriage.
Why you need to set your marrital standard on god
No possibility of going back again; no reverse.
You cant divorce; the love that lead to marriage should be able to stand the test of time.
You cant re-marry except a widow/widower involving in any of this above is as well as swimming in the journey to hell. Ones you rush/get into it, you cannot rush out.
SETTING A STRONG STANDARD FOR SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE
Seek for Gods direction/will.
Know how God speaks to you.
Pray fervently.
Don’t be in hurry and don’t give up.
Work with age/time.
Flee premarital relationship/sex.
Take counsel/advice.
Follow the right steps.
Avoid some misconceptions e.g. trying several ladies/men, because of money/fame, my family friends, he loved me etc.
WHAT YOU NEED TO BUILD GODLY MARRIAGE
Direction/lead of God.
Knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.
Love, unity, meekness (fruit of the spirit).
Good/great virtues; as a woman, you complement your man instead of competing.
Please try to learn about what courtship is and what the will of God is all about.
Learn about the 3Determinant for marital living
>LIFE BEFORE /JOINING: The life you live before marriage can determine the kind of marriage you will produce. The kind of life to live, marital setup, children to bear. If you live as a fornicator before marriage, you will live as an adulterer in marriage. If you are not careful. This is the crucial and most important stage because it’s the preparatory stage.
>LIFE DURING MARRIAGE: The life you choose to live during marriage tells how your home will be. If you decide to be a fire fighter even if you are not before marriage, your wife will surely serve as a punching bag and your home a video season record for your neighbor.
>THE WAY THROUGH WHICH YOU GET MARRIED: Marital living is affected by the way you marry your spouse. Marriage through boyfriend/girlfriend, lust, by force, culture, family wills, spirituality, position, fame will lure your marital life into everlasting regret. Only marriage that depends on God will enjoy peace and do exploit. Girlfriend/Boyfriend marital affair common among youth/student is dangerous. You will live a marital life of friends and not of one borne and flesh. Its not assign by God and such live outside Gods plan.
People who fulfilled destiny in marriage in the Bible: Isaac: Gen 24:1-6; 12-48; 42-51, Jacob: Gen 28:1-4; 29:1-14; 15-28, Ruth: Ruth 4:13-22, Esther: Esther 1-10, Mary and many others.
People who failed in marriage: Esau: Gen 26:34-35, Samson: Judges 14-16, Solomon: 1Kings 11, AHAB: 1Kings….and many others.
Women! Do not stand to be a trouble maker in your marriage, rebuke the spirit of women nature and let God lead you not to be like: Sarah: Gen 16:1-6; 18:9-19, Rachael: Gen 31:17-22; 35:1-10, Rebekah: Gen 27:1-46, Eve: Gen 3:1-7; 9-19, Jezebel: 1Kings 19:1-14; 21:1-28
“Learn to be an excellent wife material instead of praying for an excellent husband”
CHAPTER NINE
VIRGINITY; HONORED BY GOD
Virginity is free from fornication or not having any sexual intercourse before marriage. Its regrettable that many cultures today do not value virginity. If you are a youth, unmarried woman or man and you are a virgin, I congratulate you, remain one and do not be “enticed”. You must also remain clean and pure.
Many people never no that sexual purity is one of the greatest gift you can offer your spouse on your wedding night, and once you defile yourself before marriage you have lose your sexual purity, dignity and also sin against God. While many today scoff at the “Old fashion notion” of pre-marital sexual intercourse being a sun, the new testament is plain regarding his matter to all people today. The sex act is only reserved for and allowed on God ordained marriage; all circumstances are sinful (Heb 13:14).
Premarital sexual intercourse is included in the Biblical term “Fornication” which simply means illicit or forbidden sexual intercourse.
Wrong conceptions about virginity:
The man loves me and I need to satisfy him through sex.
It causes low abdominal pain (menstrual pain) and accumulation of sperm causes the testes to swell up (Dysmenorrhea). It’s a lie.
Virgin often sick.
Often have difficulties with child birth.
Virgin are impotent and immature.
Virgin can afford you a good spouse.
Virginity is the same as purity-No
Intact hymen is a definitive marker if virginity ; know for sure that this can be lose through vigorous exercise, accident etc. Virginity is being free from lust, masturbation, romantic kissing, actual sexual intercourse etc.
Why I need to be a virgin:
>It’s honored by God… Luke 4:11; Matt 1:23
>Its an act of purity and dignity… 1Timo 4:12
>Not to sin against God and oneself… 1Corinth 7:17-18
>To give room for Holy to dwell... 1Timo
>It’s a commandment by God… Exo 20:14, Matt 5:27-28, Gal 5:19
>To avoid vulnerable diseases e.g. HIV, Hepatitis etc
>Needed in Heaven… Rev14:4-5
>To avoid fornication/Adultery.
>Because of the mystery of marriage.
>To avoid Gods wrath… 1Corinth 3:16-17
>To please God. To avoid ungodly action like unwanted pregnancy, abortion, discharge etc.
>To have a happy future, peaceful family/home.
Following steps to regeneration/steps to doing exploit will bring back to God as virgin in Christ if you have defile yourself, if not you cant make exploit maritally.
Overcoming the perils of premarital sex/sexual urge:
Premarital sex is having sex before marriage. Sexual urge is having high feelings/mind towards sex. Its common to youth between 13-22 years of age. They feel like having sex with the opposite sex, keeping ungodly relationship by having the thought to have a man to look after them, cater and be with them. At this stage, female look for men at higher rate than men looking for female. Its normal feelings/thought, they are real to come but its you that must work/learn to overcome them so that they don’t ruin your life.

CHAPTER TEN
SUPERNATURAL EXPLOITS
(Call to Ministry, call to Exploit)
Jhn 12:24 “verily, verily, I say to you, Except a corn of wheat fall to the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit”
The uproar growth of your spiritual life is a growth to doing exploit. This is not choice but compulsory for every believer in Christ because we are all called to one ministry or the other. This is making exceedingly great things above human dealings.
Without making exploit’s you cannot fulfil ministry in life, either for yourself or for God “Dan 11:32”
A call for every individual: Matt 10:13; 28:18-20, Eph 4:7-12, 1Corinth 12:4-10, Jhn 15:16
Jhn 15:16 “You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the father in My name, He may give it you”
Ministry is being called to serve. Its every Christian mission on earth to serve God and man through Christ. Ministry is not to be named a particular or special name or call to build a church. Many as led themselves into trouble in the name of “God called me to Ministry” and the next thing is ministry to build church forgetting it’s a call for a special service or purpose.
There was a story of a man of God who has been working for a Church for years and after some years he met with the Church leaders that he want to live and have his own church because God called me…. Many never fulfil Gods plan/call for their life because of the wrong conception of mind they have towards ministry and that’s what is affecting our Christian world today.
How can a Christian be called to ministry…
>Through the work of salvation
>Engaging in Gods service; a worker
>Through gift, fruit of the Spirit
>Through God divine call
>Through what people demand from you
Criteria’s involve to fulfil your ministry:
>Relationship with God… Jhn 10:27-29
>Obedience… Act 5:28-30
>Power/Holy Ghost… Act 1:8, 2:1-end; 13:1-4; 11:19-24; 10:36-39; 9:17-20, Luke 4:18-19
>Gods direction/lead
>Processing/making… Act 2:1-4
When you are idle in Gods vineyard, you are making yourself available.
CHAPTER ELEVEN
OPERATING SUPERNATURALLY
Making yourself far above human imagination can be as a result of your great exploit in Ministry. Doing extraordinarily things spiritually, operating at higher level of spiritual knowledge and commands. This also depends on your spiritual growth and your personal relationship with God “2 Pet 3:18” as we grow, we develop to meet up with the stature of Christ and as well surpass his doings as he promised us to do. Jhn 14:12
As a Christian, to operate as a supernatural being you must; Be filled with power/Holy Ghost… Act 3:1-8; 12-26, Jhn 6:19-20; Have Faith...
Act 16:16-28.
Why you need to operate supernaturally involve to do Greater works Jhn 14:12, Being a promise by Christ… Matt 16:19, To make the journey to Gods kingdom easier… Rom 5:5, To become a threat to people of the dark world and lot more…
In doing the above, you need to be an Explorer of Faith… Heb 11:1. “Fear is the grip that keeps you stunted while faith is the grease that makes you free”
Read Matt 11:22-24, Luke 8:23-25, Luke 7:1-9, Eph 3:17, Matt 7:21.
You need also to back it up with fasting and prayer. Jesus did this… Luke 4:1-3, Luke 4:13 . All this will work for you after you have obeyed the command…
Rom 12:1-2 … “I Beseech you therefore, brethren by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” KJV
THY KINGDOM COME
The exploit you can make for the coming kingdom is the exploit of holiness and righteousness. 1Corinth 9:22-27… The journey to Gods kingdom need you to work to be perfect to be able to live to eternal life.
1peter 5:10… “But the God of all grace, who has called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you” KJV
The exploit of Gods kingdom through perfection is the greatest exploit you can have in life. It gives life on earth and in heaven. Once fail, failed forever.
Gal 5:19-25... “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” KJV
CHAPTER TWELVE
BORN TO RULE
Exodus 9:16…“And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth” KJV
I want you to know for sure that every man is created for a purpose, born to fulfill destiny. Jer 29:11 confirm that God has a plan and purpose for everyone. Its of good and not of evil.
FULFILLING DESTINY… Eph 2:10, 11Thessa 1:12
Rom 8:28-30… “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called; and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified” KJV
Your destiny, your life; your destiny, your choice. Destiny is natural assignment. Its what has been imputed into man to make life. You stand as the choice of what you desire…the course you study in academics determines your life. The talent/gift in you determines your life (singing, creativity etc) the life you live determine your life, your environment determines your life. Your family/background determines your life. People around you determine your life.
To make exploits of life, to must be ready to work to amend any if the above determinant of life. Becoming a professor may not expound you to successful exploit but the good and better achievement acquire in the process allows you to make exploit.
When you make exploit in life:
>People will celebrate you; your glory will be renowned
>You become a model/role model
>People look up to you
>You become a positive determinant for the success and exploit of another mans life.
Read about Daniel who live to rule in a strange land; Daniel 2:4; 7-49, Dan 5:29; 6:25-28
Joseph ruled in a strange land; Gen 39:2-4; 20-23; 41:38-42
Esther was a blessed in her generation; Esther 1:10-22; 2:1-23; 3:1-17; 5; 6; 8:1-9
DANIEL EXPLORED…
Daniel denied himself of the kings meat which should have been a disturbance to his destiny and Gods plan for his life. The kings meat is never a sin but dangerous. He needed to deny himself of it to be able to fast, pray, meditate as he does before… Dan 1:8; 12-20
Dan 1:8a… “but Daniel purpose in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the kings meat; …”
The King signifies Devil, the world, flesh/Self
Meat signifies sin, pleasure, lust, unrighteousness. which may be as a result of our ignorance.
He did this not to “defile himself” with the portion of the kings to meet Gods use in the area of Sanctification... Jhn 17:12-18, Separation… 11Corinth 6:14-17; 1Timo 4:12, Discipline, and Faithfulness... Dan 6:4; Gen 39:5-9 and was able to posses the following to rule and make exploit of life:
>Man of vision: Dan 2:19, Heb 2:3, Gen 35:5-11, 42:1-7… “vision is the driving force of your life”
>Excellent Spirit… Dan 5:12
>Courage /endurance… Dan 6:10, 23
>Readiness to face challenges… Dan 6:16
>Fear of God and not man... Gen 39:9, Matt 10:28, Dan 6:10, 23
>Live by Gods direction/will
>Favor before God and man... Gen 39:21; 1:9, 1 Sam 2:26, Luke 2:52. David, Jesus, Joseph among others all deserve favor to excel. You need it as well to fulfill destiny.
Joseph see reason to ignore the invitation of Potiphar’s wife because he fear God and with the mind to live for God and never for pleasure. Do you?
ENEMIES ON YOUR WAY:
a. Potiphar’s wife (Joseph): Gen 39:5-9; 10-end.
You need to flee and run away from every Potiphar’s on your way. 2 Thessa 5”22…“flee from all appearances of evil” KJV
b. Jezebel (Naboth) 1King 21. Pray to overcome every Jezebel on your way. Eph 6:12… “for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” KJV
c. Doeg (Saul, David, and Jonathan) 1 Sam 22:21. You need to be focus and deeply determined to overcome Doeg on your way.
d. Saul (David) 1 Sam 19:1-2, 11 Sam 21:1-2
Friends “evil friends/company” Dan 6:4-18, 11 Sam 13:1-6; 11-15; 23-30
All these are all destiny terminators and destroyers. Find a way to escape today.
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
DOCTRINE OF RICHES
1Timo 6:10… “For the love of money is the root of all evil; which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows” KJV
The daily recklessness of man as always being due to the issue of how to get money to live and to maintain. As a matter of fact many has lost their life for this while some are drowned to the value of money which has its end to be vanity.
Its never a sin to be wealthy/rich, but your life with .money determines your fault. The way you spend your money, the way you use your money, the way you manage your wealth…
1Timothy 6:6-8... “But godliness and contentment is a great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be there with context” KJV
Vs 17-19... “charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate. Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life” KJV
Wrong conceptions about riches/wealth you need to avoid are some which include; It’s a sin, I must engage or involve in ritual before I can make money, It’s assign to some people and not to someone like me, It’s a glory, It’s a choice, I may fail heaven.
No for sure that everyone is created to be rich as God is ever rich in Glory. He created the poor because of the rich, he created the rich because of the poor. Its for the poor to be assisted by the rich for them to be rich. Its also better to suffer on earth to enjoy in heaven than to enjoy on earth and suffer in heaven. Don’t be confused you can enjoy both on earth and in heaven, but you must be much more heavenly minded and fully focused. It need you to seek first the kingdom of God.
Matt 6:33…“But seek you first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you”
“Making money is good but making heaven is better”
Ways through which you can live to rule:
1. Through God given potential in you e.g. your talent, gift. You must be ready to discover God given potential in your life.
2. Through your carrier/job/work… destiny achievement… what are your own field of study, acquisition and learning.
3. Through prizes/awards and giving
4. Through business and initiatives… mention them and point out those you can do as a Christian
5. Through practical learning of human routine activities… creativity, etc
What are you capable of doing , Eccl 9:10 …“Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work nor deceive, nor knowledge, wisdom, in the grave, where you go” KJV
To reach the peak in life, fulfill destiny and to rule. You must be ready to:
work harder… Prov 6:4-11; an idle hand is devils workshop; 2Thessa 3:10,
take advice/counsel/correction…Psalm 90:12
work with time/age 2Thess 3:10. “A man that dare waste 1sec of his time has not know the value of life”
be determined/disciplined...
involve God in your situation; allow God to lead and direct you. He governs our life for he’s the creator. He knows you before he created you. Jere 29:11; 1:4-7. He revealed his plan/will for you. Hab 2:3, Prov 19:21; 16:3, Psalm 25:14.
have a godly model and guardian. They put you through and encourage you even when depress...
be focus/strive with all vigor to make it…
don’t panic neither fear…
don’t limit yourself. Believe you can do it…see yourself on top and as the best…
pray your way out…Psalm 138:8, Matt 7:7
in all, work with faith… Heb 11:1
You are born to rule in your generation, in your family, school, town, state, country and across the globe. What are your Plans and your Determination? Be Focused!
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
PRAYER THE MASTER KEY
Matt 7:8… “for everyone that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and him that knocks it shall be opened” KJV
To pray simply means to communicate with God. Its worship addressed to God the father, in the name of God the son and through the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Church prayed for Peter liberty from the prison.. Act 12:5 Christ demanded us to ask in his name… Jhn 14:13
Read also Eph 6:18, Rom 8:26-27
Prayer is a very important aspect of a Christian walk with God. It’s a reality. Through prayer we become very intimate with our Father God and we establish a father-son relationship. Prayer is the master key for all Christians to unveil all mysteries. In the act of communion with God… Deut 5:24, Gen 8:27 Asking and receiving… Psalm 110; 95:6
The prayer you pray should consist of the following: Adoration… Psalm 95:6, Confession… Psalm 32:5, Prov 28:13, 1Jhn 1:8-9, Thanksgiving… Phil 4:6, Psalm 100:4, and Supplication… 1 Timo 2:1, Eph 6:18
For a Christian to be successful in making all exploit; in marital, academics, spiritual, and in all endeavors you need an effective prayer life. It’s the master key to the door of making great exploit.
“A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian” when you don’t pray, you become a prey to the devil.
We read about our bible characters today who prayed to succeed: Moses: Exo 15:23-25, David: Psalm 1:1-2, Elijah: 1Kings 18:37-39, Hannah: Jam 5:17-18, 1Sam 1:9-17, Daniel: Dan 6:10, 9:1-19, Esther: Esther 4:16, Jesus: Matt 26:39-42…
To be effective in prayer, you must be able to: Pray in the Holy Ghost… Jude 20, Rom 8:26, Eph 6:18, Work with Faith… Mark 11:23-24, Luke 1:37, According to Gods will… Luke 22:24, Fast and pray... Matt 7:21, Read and study the scripture … Matt 6:7-8, Mk 11:24, Acts 6:4
You must be ready to make yourself a praying Christian. Is a command for you: 1Thessa 5:17, 1Chron 16:11, Jam 5:13, Psalm 50:15, Matt 26:18-36, Luke 18:16… “that men ought to pray, and not to faint”
Early Church did, Jesus our foreman did, so likewise he expect us to do: Mark 1:35, Luke 6:2; 3:21
Things that hinders our prayer:
1. Our iniquities/sin: Isa 59:1-2, unrighteousness 1Jhn 3:14, 22
2. Unforgiveness Matt 5:23-24
3. Praying amiss James 4:3
4. Feigned faith/doubting mind James 1:5-7
You must avoid them to have a close communion with your God.
QUIET TIME
Mark 1:35… “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, He went out and depart into a solitary place, and there prayed” KJERE
The quiet time is a period set aside for praying, reading and meditating on the word of God. One need a good judgement in splitting on the actual time available to him. How many hours do you spend with God daily?
Develop your prayer life today and become a threat to your enemies, seeing your way through and growing to make exploits.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
VICTOR AND NOT A VICTIM
Obstacles along the way to your exploit has been reveal in previous study. You need now to be a VICTOR and not VICTIM. For success and greater works. You are entitled to them.
Do not start something good with something wrong. It will cost you more to correct it. So start well because even the righteousness cannot do anything tangible with a faulty foundation. I wonder the drama that would ensue when we get to heaven. It be shocking to see a supposed accomplished “Professor Emeritus” pushed aside for claiming academic merits he never earned with his own hand and labor. I doubt if Heaven will ignore how you rise to become “a big-man”. But these are issues that many people in our time have trivialized. I plead with you, don’t go on a long journey with possessions that are not your own.
Being your best in God and for God through exploits in various areas cannot be achieved by more wishes. Only those who are willing and ready to pay the price can become their best for God is great but except you follows the divine pathway; your pursuit will soon become a mirage – a Chasing after the wind friends, no matter your past failures and mistakes or even present challenges, you can attain Gods best for your life even you that have not heard and it has not yet come to the heart of any man what God has planned for those who love Him. Just allow the Lord to lead the way and you shall have good success.
Are you born again? See you on top; Shalom!

INTRODUCTION
It baffles me a lot as nowadays Christian Youth are void of the vision to do exceedingly great things. Many are satisfied with their present due state and they concealed unfavorable situations to themselves. They are not tending to move even a step forward or higher while they keep on complaining without taking viable step to change situations for themselves.
John 14:12… “Verily, verily, I say to you; he that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works shall he do; Because I go to my Father” KJV
Many believed in this promise but give a challant response towards the work that need to be done. No wonder Christ denied some people despite serving him with their whole strength but not from a genuine heart… Matt
1John 3:18… “My little Children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth” KJV
Some long for it; to be great, without setting their strength for the great task that will benefit and work for them. No wonder a friend of mine need to say let me eat and enjoy now, when there is no food I will fast. Know for sure that enjoyment before suffering is not in alignment with the principle of God in term if greatness. You need to suffer for a short term to enjoy for a long term run and not to enjoy for a short term and now suffer for a long term. The suffering is all about working for enjoyment.
Do not be deceived by any miracle. Christ himself is the miracle and before you get it, you must work for it. Work by his principle because “life is govern by principle and not by miracle”. The principles of God are His sound Doctrine/teaching you receive or hear, His rules and regulations (commandments).
What you need to understand to make exploit all round your life is contained in this spiritual book. It has been pick to pieces for your understanding. Read and understand so that you get the knowledge of every failure militating against your life. It’s believed that every failure in life is traceable to lack of knowledge. No wonder God said “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” Hosea 4:6a
Wisdom is good, but in all your getting get understanding. In the process of getting understanding you come across knowledge. Here, we are going to consider Daniel; the man who understands the principle of God, he work them out into action and was able to operate as an exceedingly great soldier for God. He excel above his colleagues both spiritually, maritally, academically, financially, in Leadership roles and all round his life.
Do you want to be?
CHAPTER ONE
HEAVENLY CONFESSION
Dan 11:32… “And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall be corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits” KJV
Exploit is an interesting brave, unusual or extraordinary act or event that makes people wonder whenever it is thought about. Exploit is an act or deed, especially a brilliant or heroic. To exploy to the greatest possible advantage. Exploits means extraordinary things, breaking the barrier and working above limitations.
Case Study :
An adage says “the size of a man does not open the door, he need the key as well” Doing exploit need you to exercise some energetic activities that can be achieved with ease as far as you could learn and obey to do them. As traveling, mining, and digging to exploit minerals from the ground is a must tactics to achieve your goal in getting expensive raw materials, so also in God exploitation you need to offer something, undergo some high potential easy level to achieve your goal. Here, no magic or human power but God in the process makes it done.
CITERIAS TO DO EXPLOIT …Dan 11:32
vs32b1: but the people that do KNOW THEIR GOD
vs32b2: SHALL BE STRONG
vs32b3: AND DO EXPLOITS
The Bible text above has illustrated the major keystone making exploits in God. It gives us the idea of doing exploit in our daily life, they are the road map to making exploit; you first know your God, you get stronger and you emerge to be an explorer.
Knowing God… 11:32b1
It’s necessary to first know God before you start to be an explorer of destiny and great things in life. Not knowing God makes you do unknown things that will not benefit your life. He’s whom you must first recognize and know because he does the parboiled job and you do the finishing, vice versa. He owns all machinery you need to do exploits and he supervises you to put you right of any unforeseen errors.
You must know who God is and who He is to you (Man).
CHAPTER TWO
KNOWING GOD 1
"Phil 3:10" That i may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering, being made conformable to His death” KJV
Paul the Apostle explained somethings he has done to know God… Phil 3:7-9 and he also highlighted those things he need to know about Christ In knowing God the more.
Phil 3:10… that I may know;
Him(Christ)
Power of His resurrection
Fellowship of His suffering;
…being made conformable to his death.
Vs11… if by any means I might ATTAIN to the RESURRECTION of the DEAD.
The strength you get in knowing God gives you the chance to attain which is a significant of a possibility in your life. So therefore, to know God you must first know HIM(Christ). You need to give your life to Christ (Phil 3:7) “but that things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ”
Sin and pleasure are deceitful gain to us but loss to Christ because they are life and destiny waster in which God is not happy about.
Romans 6:1-12 show us way/steps to know Him (Christ)
Hear the good news
Accept Him(Christ)
Confess your sins and
Forsake your sins
After then, you live to be righteous.
Phil 3:9... “And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by Faith” KJV
Knowing Him is as well knowing whom he is. As the Savior of your soul, deliverer and your refuge. As the only son of God, firstborn over all creatures (Eph 3:9, Gen 1:1, John 1:1-4). After all, you know what he stands for. How valuable he’s in your life and you get to recognize and know more about His power.
When you know Him, he does some work of redemption , regeneration, and deliverance in your life. So therefore, the only company /factory you need to know and connect with for exploitation is Christ Jesus; The great explorer!
Heb 11:6… “but without faith it is impossible to please Him: for that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him”
CHAPTER THREE
KNOWING GOD 2
POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION
Knowing the power of His resurrection is as well experiencing the power and fulfilling the impact of the power of Christ resurrection.
John 11:25… “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live”
The resurrection of Jesus Christ play important role in the life of a Christian as the power thereof worketh out divination, revival, Salvation, breakthrough, liberation, deliverance, victory and liberty. Christ resurrection is accompanied with His living, suffering, crucifixion and death. He live to die for our sins, so therefore we must be ready to die and resurrect back to life again i.e. from the state of being alive to sin to the state of being alive to Christ.
Gal 5:24… “and they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lust”
Christ died and arose to live anew with God. You need to die and bury the sinful man/flesh in you to be for God and you start to live a new lifestyle as God desires… 2Corinth 5:17
John 17:2… “as you have given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as you have given Him”
You need to leave the level of carnality to spirit filled level, all you need to do is to crucify the flesh, bury them and become alive unto God.
The power of resurrection break barriers, bandages, chains, hindrances, limitations, curses, generational problems and destroy all negative effect of our life to making exploit.
Have you experience the power of resurrection?
FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERING
Knowing the fellowship of His suffering is as well being partakers of His suffering. He expects you to live, suffer, and enjoy as he experienced. Being partaker of His suffering, he expects you to deny yourself of some pleasure, Good but evil things and to suffer reproach.
A cross bearer after Christ is named a good Christian ready for exploitation.
Matt 16:24… “then said Jesus unto his disciples, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me” KJV
Luke 14:27… “And whomsoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple” KJV
The cross is an emblem of shame, suffering, or even death. You must not mind this as you follow Him (Heb11:36-38). He expect you to live as he lived.
He was tempted, persecuted, chastised and rebuked: 11Timo 3:10-12, Phil 1:19-20, Heb 12:5-13
1Petet 4:16… “yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God on this behalf” KJV
He suffer reproach, was denied and rejected
He prayed, fasted and minister to Succeed and Excel
He suffered to succeed
You must learn to persevere, take longsuffering and be able to endure hardness, in all this you become part of the branch of Christ… John 15:1-7
John 15:1-2… “I an the true vine, and my Father is the husband man. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit” KJV
Our life is made from God., we depend on him for existence. So, whatever that comes our way, we are to live in endurance to attain the set target /goal for our life (Psalm 30:5, Jer 29:11) All will come, no escape route “preparing to escape the fellowship of His suffering, you are preparing to lose your worth in life and in Heaven”
Being partaker of Christ suffering, God will recognize you as his own. You know him and He Knows you.
Phil1:20-21… “according to my earnest expectations and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain”
Does your life portray the life of Christ? The great Explorer !
CHAPTER FOUR
SHALL BE STRONG
… 11:32b11
To be strong is to be able to breakthrough difficulties and hardness, making possibility real out of impossibilities; operating extraordinarily.
Isaiah 40:31… “ but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint” KJV
Getting stronger come after you know God. Before you know God you are weak, void of power and strength, no vision and life in you. But the visibility of God in your life gives you power and strength to be stronger for exploitation. Having strong hope is making a last long decision… you get stronger in God’s ability, strength and faith. Your Christian life get more rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus. You become resistance to temptation and fall, untouchable for; your enemies, devil and his arch angels, failure and disappointment. It’s of the operation “No turning back”
Things you must be strong about are the materials, equipment and machinery you need for the exploit. So therefore, you must be strong in faith, power /strength, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, mind, thinking, planning, word of God, prayer, Christ doctrine, grace, truth, goal setting, belief etc. In all this, you get the power, authority, freedom and chance to do exploit.
CHAPTER FIVE
ACADEMIC EXPLOIT 1
OVERCOMING THE BARRIERS TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
One major key to making exploit academically is taking God first… Matt t6:32-34. Attaining success especially good success is demanding and costly. For an unbeliever, success could be achieved through dubious means in a quick succession but it is not for a believer.
Criteria’s, qualities, virtues, lifestyle needed to reach the peak of success:
1. Experience of a new life: 2Cor 5:17-21
2Corin 5:17… “therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new.
creature. Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”
2. Counselor /Discipler: Prov 15:22,19:20.
You need a senior believer to put you through some challenges. Proverbs 19:20… “hear council, and receive instructions, that thou mates be wise in thy later end”
3. Vision: Prov 29:18.
“Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he”
Know and discover God’s purpose for your life as you relate with Him.
4. God and your discipler /counselor. They will help you to make the right choices as you go on in life and to Chart the course of your life correctly, you also need to avoid distractions in this process.
5. Information: Nehemiah 1:1-4… “the words of Here the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chislem, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace. That Hanam, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and asked them concerning the Jews that has escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach : the will of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven” KJV
If you are not informed, you will be deformed. You must be informed to be reformed.
6. Sacrifice: 1Corinth 10:23
You need to give up some things to pursue your goals.
Dan 1:7a… “but Daniel proposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the kings meat” KJV
They include wrong friends, excessive timer on T.V, games,
internet, social networks and some religious activities where necessary You need not belong to every unit in the Fellowship or Church. Belong to things that are beneficial and not that are good and be ready to balance academics with spiritual assignment.
7. Patience and endurance:
Heb10:36… “for we have need of patience, that after yesterday have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise…”
Be patient to allow God launch you gradually into His will for you.
8. Good company: Prov 13:20… “he that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed”
The kind of read mate you have, prayer colleague and fellowship.
groups. Some parties you attend may be injurious to your
academics pursuit.
9. Hardworking and Diligence… 2 Thessa 3:8-12, Eccl 9:10.
Don’t consider any course to be too hard or lecture /lecturer. Do a lot of research and read wide.
10. Faithfulness… Matt 25:21; Prov 28:20
Prov 28:20… a faithful man shall abound with blessings : but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be “innocent”. In doing assignment, don’t depend on photocopy but do it yourself. Shun examination malpractice as they don’t give expected success but only give expected mark.
11. Set a goal /target for yourself
Setting a goal for yourself is another way of having hope even when breakdown comes. The first can be the last as the last can still be the first. Repeaters today can be the best tomorrow.
In working success in academics, you must be able to set target above limitation. If able to breakthrough all barriers or forces, you may exceed your set goals. You are therefore making exploit.
Sometimes, people may see it this way:
Excellent -----------100% SUCCESS (EXPLOIT)
Above Average-----80%
Average -------------60%
Under Average -------0-20%
Do not settle for good where excellence is possible. A more brilliant person outside God has all tendency to fail if not careful and an under average and below average have always tendency to rise to success to make exploit in God.
The level, rate and quality of your success make you do exploit. It’s not how far, but how well!
CHAPTER SIX
ACADEMIC EXPLOIT 2
(HINDRANCES TO ACADEMICS EXPLOIT)
The following are foreseen hindrances to our success in life that must be avoided.
1. A Faulty beginning/foundation: Matt 7:26-27; Psalm 11:3
Psalm 11:3… “if the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?” Forged certificate, result gotten from examination malpractices, falsify age to get job or admission etc. Examination malpractice s will only give expected mark but not expected success. So therefore, if you are not successful you haven’t pass at all.
2. Lack of determination/Daily planning e.g. setting of timetable for yourself. Failing to plan, you are planning to fail. “Aspire to inspire not to expire”.
3. Laziness, idleness and procrastination…
Procrastination is the thief of time and time lost cannot be recovered. Do assignment, prepare for exams early enough.
4. Love for the world… 1Timo 6:9-10, 1Jhn 5:15-17
Money, material, fame, wrong clubs, association, unions on campus. You may soon find yourself promoting the culture of this world and the traditions of men. It eat up precious time you would have invested in serious study of your courses.
5. Independence and self confidence… Eccles 4:9-12, Prov16:18,
Prov 16:18… “pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty Spirit before a fall”
The message is do not be over ambitious, allow space, time and counsel to help your convictions. Do not compete with, envy or try to hinder the progress of another; do not be self-centered (Eccl 4:4). Do not trust in human wisdom and strength for the arm of flesh will surely fail you (Isa 3:1). Avoid activities, attitudes or company that can put you in trouble. Avoid any form of corruption, bribery, dishonesty or crime. Always stand clear, clean and on the truth and you would have no course to be afraid.
Also seek counsel on issues that you cannot handle such as threats, harassment, co-existing with other people etc. Now, you must understand that; the devil, witchcraft, wizards, demons etc cannot hinder your success if you are rooted and grounded in Christ (Job 1:1-12; 42:12, Matt 16:17-18) Ignorance still tie us to devil bondage despite confessing Christ as Jesus has overcome them for us on the cross (Col 2:13-15). If you have attained any success through dubious means before giving your life to Jesus, you may need to do restitution. But before then, seek counseling from elders in the Faith so that you could receive proper guidance on how to go about it to avoid compounding the problem.
In a nutshell, read Prov 22:29, 2Timo 2:15, 1Timo 4:11
You have the potential of making success in you. Bring your academics life to God and let him do the best for you. For as you do your best, he do the rest.
CHAPTER SEVEN
MARITAL EXPLOIT 1
(GOVERNING ROADMAP TO MARITAL EXPLOIT IN MARRIAGE)
Marriage is the living together in oneness of a man and woman willed together to become husband and wife. Husband which means Leader, head, Chief, controller, worker, first, overseer, director, manager is the main man while wife which means Helper, Assistance, Second, Subordinate, Receiver, Deputy, Cleaver is the main woman.
God created man first and see reason to create woman thereafter. To live for man is the real dealing behind her creature not as slave but a helper, subordinate and second in person… Gen 2:21;23, 1Corinth 11:11-12. It need the joining of the two as one. Any marriage /marital affair without proper joining is outside Gods plan. So therefore, you must understand marriage as living together of two who has been joined together involving God’s … Gen 2:24
Marriage is a set conduct that has its own governing principle lay down by God. It’s made for man to live a splendid life of humility to one another. It’s starting a new life afresh… forgetting the past. Marriage is a school to learn, A church to serve. As general church is, personal church, so as well marriage is a church for couples to fellowship because it involve God in the process.
MARRIAGE => MAKING ALL RIGHT REAL IN ALL GENERAL ENDEAVOR
No for sure that to all celebration in life, the basic celebration that back up your success or that determines your success in all is WEDDING CEREMONY. Other ceremony like naming, birthday, jubilation, graduation, coronation, sent forth, convocation, swearing in, wake keep, glorious exit are all result of your achievement in which some are those you will not even witness and how they are planned for.
AGE STAGES TO MARRIAGE :
We are not describing this to what God plan but to what we know and understand should be to the principle that govern life. “Life is govern by principles and not by miracle”
Stage 1: Young Teenager => 9-13yrs
Battling with all kind of life activities /endeavors without
matured knowledge /understanding.
Stage 2: Teenager Youth => 13-19yrs
Decide your carrier: academics /future /spiritual
/moral/ministry. Have idea of what marriage is. If ripe in all
aforementioned above, you can find yourself in marriage
(especially females), but not the best state /stage to rush into
marriage because you still need some tutoring /mentoring.
Stage 3: Mature Youth => 19-25yrs
Decide your marital life (through prayer etc).
Ripe for marriage: Must have been matured in mind, age and Emotion.
Stage 4: Adult Youth => 25-40yrs
Attain /Achieve academics plan.
Fulfil marital plan and other things you decide or planned for.
When you do not marry within this age/stage, you have problem. Either Spiritual, foundational, curse or personal issues. Many are deceived and wasting there precious time by saying God time is the best without working to know the time, how the time will come, and how to meet up with the time. If you are believing in that which is also the best, you must be ready to work as faith without work is dead.

Build your marriage /family and set a successful marital life.
Govern your life through Christ.

Go to rest.
CHAPTER EIGHT
MARITAL EXPLOIT 2
PRINCIPLE /DOCTRINES OF MARRIAGE
Marriage governing principles are highlighted below:
Its between a man and a woman… Gen 2:21-23
Its created / lay down by God… Gen 2:24
It involve joining of the two and the bed undefiled… Heb 13:4
Marriage is based on the standard, purpose and principle set by God… 11Timo 2:19
Its to be fruitful and multiply… Gen 1:22-28
To satisfy God ordained gift within the marriage e.g. love, friendship, communion, sex… 1Corith 7:2-3
To live to help one another… 1Corinth 11:11-12
To fulfil God divine Ministry… Eph 5:22-27, 1Corinth 7:12-17
No divorce… 1Corinth 7:10-11;12-16
Its not a sin if you do not marry. Its necessary but not compulsory… 1Corinth 7:1-2, 7-9
Widow/widowers can remarry… 1Corith 7:39
Note, marriage is never an avenue for sexual abuse. When you give your marriage all for sex, it can override you as the opportunity is free. I once watch a life show of a couple some times ago on Space TV who are being interviewed on a marital matter. A question wad asked that if your spouse demand for oral sex will you give or respond. The wife answer yes and the husband also supported backing it up with a bible passage that we should please our spouse. This is obvious as sex will soon take over the family and if sex take over, trouble has erupted. Be careful as you must live your sexual life with care, wisdom in marriage is highly profitable in term of marriage, and don’t take law into your hands in marriage.
Why you need to set your marrital standard on god
No possibility of going back again; no reverse.
You cant divorce; the love that lead to marriage should be able to stand the test of time.
You cant re-marry except a widow/widower involving in any of this above is as well as swimming in the journey to hell. Ones you rush/get into it, you cannot rush out.
SETTING A STRONG STANDARD FOR SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE
Seek for Gods direction/will.
Know how God speaks to you.
Pray fervently.
Don’t be in hurry and don’t give up.
Work with age/time.
Flee premarital relationship/sex.
Take counsel/advice.
Follow the right steps.
Avoid some misconceptions e.g. trying several ladies/men, because of money/fame, my family friends, he loved me etc.
WHAT YOU NEED TO BUILD GODLY MARRIAGE
Direction/lead of God.
Knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.
Love, unity, meekness (fruit of the spirit).
Good/great virtues; as a woman, you complement your man instead of competing.
Please try to learn about what courtship is and what the will of God is all about.
Learn about the 3Determinant for marital living
>LIFE BEFORE /JOINING: The life you live before marriage can determine the kind of marriage you will produce. The kind of life to live, marital setup, children to bear. If you live as a fornicator before marriage, you will live as an adulterer in marriage. If you are not careful. This is the crucial and most important stage because it’s the preparatory stage.
>LIFE DURING MARRIAGE: The life you choose to live during marriage tells how your home will be. If you decide to be a fire fighter even if you are not before marriage, your wife will surely serve as a punching bag and your home a video season record for your neighbor.
>THE WAY THROUGH WHICH YOU GET MARRIED: Marital living is affected by the way you marry your spouse. Marriage through boyfriend/girlfriend, lust, by force, culture, family wills, spirituality, position, fame will lure your marital life into everlasting regret. Only marriage that depends on God will enjoy peace and do exploit. Girlfriend/Boyfriend marital affair common among youth/student is dangerous. You will live a marital life of friends and not of one borne and flesh. Its not assign by God and such live outside Gods plan.
People who fulfilled destiny in marriage in the Bible: Isaac: Gen 24:1-6; 12-48; 42-51, Jacob: Gen 28:1-4; 29:1-14; 15-28, Ruth: Ruth 4:13-22, Esther: Esther 1-10, Mary and many others.
People who failed in marriage: Esau: Gen 26:34-35, Samson: Judges 14-16, Solomon: 1Kings 11, AHAB: 1Kings….and many others.
Women! Do not stand to be a trouble maker in your marriage, rebuke the spirit of women nature and let God lead you not to be like: Sarah: Gen 16:1-6; 18:9-19, Rachael: Gen 31:17-22; 35:1-10, Rebekah: Gen 27:1-46, Eve: Gen 3:1-7; 9-19, Jezebel: 1Kings 19:1-14; 21:1-28
“Learn to be an excellent wife material instead of praying for an excellent husband”
CHAPTER NINE
VIRGINITY; HONORED BY GOD
Virginity is free from fornication or not having any sexual intercourse before marriage. Its regrettable that many cultures today do not value virginity. If you are a youth, unmarried woman or man and you are a virgin, I congratulate you, remain one and do not be “enticed”. You must also remain clean and pure.
Many people never no that sexual purity is one of the greatest gift you can offer your spouse on your wedding night, and once you defile yourself before marriage you have lose your sexual purity, dignity and also sin against God. While many today scoff at the “Old fashion notion” of pre-marital sexual intercourse being a sun, the new testament is plain regarding his matter to all people today. The sex act is only reserved for and allowed on God ordained marriage; all circumstances are sinful (Heb 13:14).
Premarital sexual intercourse is included in the Biblical term “Fornication” which simply means illicit or forbidden sexual intercourse.
Wrong conceptions about virginity:
The man loves me and I need to satisfy him through sex.
It causes low abdominal pain (menstrual pain) and accumulation of sperm causes the testes to swell up (Dysmenorrhea). It’s a lie.
Virgin often sick.
Often have difficulties with child birth.
Virgin are impotent and immature.
Virgin can afford you a good spouse.
Virginity is the same as purity-No
Intact hymen is a definitive marker if virginity ; know for sure that this can be lose through vigorous exercise, accident etc. Virginity is being free from lust, masturbation, romantic kissing, actual sexual intercourse etc.
Why I need to be a virgin:
>It’s honored by God… Luke 4:11; Matt 1:23
>Its an act of purity and dignity… 1Timo 4:12
>Not to sin against God and oneself… 1Corinth 7:17-18
>To give room for Holy to dwell... 1Timo
>It’s a commandment by God… Exo 20:14, Matt 5:27-28, Gal 5:19
>To avoid vulnerable diseases e.g. HIV, Hepatitis etc
>Needed in Heaven… Rev14:4-5
>To avoid fornication/Adultery.
>Because of the mystery of marriage.
>To avoid Gods wrath… 1Corinth 3:16-17
>To please God. To avoid ungodly action like unwanted pregnancy, abortion, discharge etc.
>To have a happy future, peaceful family/home.
Following steps to regeneration/steps to doing exploit will bring back to God as virgin in Christ if you have defile yourself, if not you cant make exploit maritally.
Overcoming the perils of premarital sex/sexual urge:
Premarital sex is having sex before marriage. Sexual urge is having high feelings/mind towards sex. Its common to youth between 13-22 years of age. They feel like having sex with the opposite sex, keeping ungodly relationship by having the thought to have a man to look after them, cater and be with them. At this stage, female look for men at higher rate than men looking for female. Its normal feelings/thought, they are real to come but its you that must work/learn to overcome them so that they don’t ruin your life.
The following make people fall into pre-marital sex/unripe marriages: peer group influence, parent influence, misconceptions, deceit, ignorance, unable to say NO and fear.
To overcome them, you must; Develop your moral life, Be spiritual enough, filled with the Holy Spirit, Be determined; with strong determination, Have the mind/thought of God, Pray fervently and dwell richly in Gods word, Keep yourself from sexual immoralities; shun contact with opposite sex and as well ignore kissing, hugging, lapping etc “don’t charge the battery until its ready for use”, Avoid direct eye contact, Control your feelings/emotions, Flee all appearances of evils, Learn to say NO and turn down any ungodly approach from opposite sex.
Marriage is a home to start a new life. You can confess all your hidden sin for your spouse in marriage. Your partner is a bowel fir your restitution of anything done in the past. Anything hidden should be confessed in marriage.
Make the right choice today!
CHAPTER TEN
SUPERNATURAL EXPLOITS
(Call to Ministry, call to Exploit)
Jhn 12:24 “verily, verily, I say to you, Except a corn of wheat fall to the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit”
The uproar growth of your spiritual life is a growth to doing exploit. This is not choice but compulsory for every believer in Christ because we are all called to one ministry or the other. This is making exceedingly great things above human dealings.
Without making exploit’s you cannot fulfil ministry in life, either for yourself or for God “Dan 11:32”
A call for every individual: Matt 10:13; 28:18-20, Eph 4:7-12, 1Corinth 12:4-10, Jhn 15:16
Jhn 15:16 “You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the father in My name, He may give it you”
Ministry is being called to serve. Its every Christian mission on earth to serve God and man through Christ. Ministry is not to be named a particular or special name or call to build a church. Many as led themselves into trouble in the name of “God called me to Ministry” and the next thing is ministry to build church forgetting it’s a call for a special service or purpose.
There was a story of a man of God who has been working for a Church for years and after some years he met with the Church leaders that he want to live and have his own church because God called me…. Many never fulfil Gods plan/call for their life because of the wrong conception of mind they have towards ministry and that’s what is affecting our Christian world today.
How can a Christian be called to ministry…
>Through the work of salvation
>Engaging in Gods service; a worker
>Through gift, fruit of the Spirit
>Through God divine call
>Through what people demand from you
Criteria’s involve to fulfil your ministry:
>Relationship with God… Jhn 10:27-29
>Obedience… Act 5:28-30
>Power/Holy Ghost… Act 1:8, 2:1-end; 13:1-4; 11:19-24; 10:36-39; 9:17-20, Luke 4:18-19
>Gods direction/lead
>Processing/making… Act 2:1-4
When you are idle in Gods vineyard, you are making yourself available.
CHAPTER ELEVEN
OPERATING SUPERNATURALLY
Making yourself far above human imagination can be as a result of your great exploit in Ministry. Doing extraordinarily things spiritually, operating at higher level of spiritual knowledge and commands. This also depends on your spiritual growth and your personal relationship with God “2 Pet 3:18” as we grow, we develop to meet up with the stature of Christ and as well surpass his doings as he promised us to do. Jhn 14:12
As a Christian, to operate as a supernatural being you must; Be filled with power/Holy Ghost… Act 3:1-8; 12-26, Jhn 6:19-20; Have Faith...
Act 16:16-28.
Why you need to operate supernaturally involve to do Greater works Jhn 14:12, Being a promise by Christ… Matt 16:19, To make the journey to Gods kingdom easier… Rom 5:5, To become a threat to people of the dark world and lot more…
In doing the above, you need to be an Explorer of Faith… Heb 11:1. “Fear is the grip that keeps you stunted while faith is the grease that makes you free”
Read Matt 11:22-24, Luke 8:23-25, Luke 7:1-9, Eph 3:17, Matt 7:21.
You need also to back it up with fasting and prayer. Jesus did this… Luke 4:1-3, Luke 4:13 . All this will work for you after you have obeyed the command…
Rom 12:1-2 … “I Beseech you therefore, brethren by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” KJV
THY KINGDOM COME
The exploit you can make for the coming kingdom is the exploit of holiness and righteousness. 1Corinth 9:22-27… The journey to Gods kingdom need you to work to be perfect to be able to live to eternal life.
1peter 5:10… “But the God of all grace, who has called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you” KJV
The exploit of Gods kingdom through perfection is the greatest exploit you can have in life. It gives life on earth and in heaven. Once fail, failed forever.
Gal 5:19-25... “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” KJV
CHAPTER TWELVE
BORN TO RULE
Exodus 9:16…“And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth” KJV
I want you to know for sure that every man is created for a purpose, born to fulfill destiny. Jer 29:11 confirm that God has a plan and purpose for everyone. Its of good and not of evil.
FULFILLING DESTINY… Eph 2:10, 11Thessa 1:12
Rom 8:28-30… “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called; and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified” KJV
Your destiny, your life; your destiny, your choice. Destiny is natural assignment. Its what has been imputed into man to make life. You stand as the choice of what you desire…the course you study in academics determines your life. The talent/gift in you determines your life (singing, creativity etc) the life you live determine your life, your environment determines your life. Your family/background determines your life. People around you determine your life.
To make exploits of life, to must be ready to work to amend any if the above determinant of life. Becoming a professor may not expound you to successful exploit but the good and better achievement acquire in the process allows you to make exploit.
When you make exploit in life:
>People will celebrate you; your glory will be renowned
>You become a model/role model
>People look up to you
>You become a positive determinant for the success and exploit of another mans life.
Read about Daniel who live to rule in a strange land; Daniel 2:4; 7-49, Dan 5:29; 6:25-28
Joseph ruled in a strange land; Gen 39:2-4; 20-23; 41:38-42
Esther was a blessed in her generation; Esther 1:10-22; 2:1-23; 3:1-17; 5; 6; 8:1-9
DANIEL EXPLORED…
Daniel denied himself of the kings meat which should have been a disturbance to his destiny and Gods plan for his life. The kings meat is never a sin but dangerous. He needed to deny himself of it to be able to fast, pray, meditate as he does before… Dan 1:8; 12-20
Dan 1:8a… “but Daniel purpose in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the kings meat; …”
The King signifies Devil, the world, flesh/Self
Meat signifies sin, pleasure, lust, unrighteousness. which may be as a result of our ignorance.
He did this not to “defile himself” with the portion of the kings to meet Gods use in the area of Sanctification... Jhn 17:12-18, Separation… 11Corinth 6:14-17; 1Timo 4:12, Discipline, and Faithfulness... Dan 6:4; Gen 39:5-9 and was able to posses the following to rule and make exploit of life:
>Man of vision: Dan 2:19, Heb 2:3, Gen 35:5-11, 42:1-7… “vision is the driving force of your life”
>Excellent Spirit… Dan 5:12
>Courage /endurance… Dan 6:10, 23
>Readiness to face challenges… Dan 6:16
>Fear of God and not man... Gen 39:9, Matt 10:28, Dan 6:10, 23
>Live by Gods direction/will
>Favor before God and man... Gen 39:21; 1:9, 1 Sam 2:26, Luke 2:52. David, Jesus, Joseph among others all deserve favor to excel. You need it as well to fulfill destiny.
Joseph see reason to ignore the invitation of Potiphar’s wife because he fear God and with the mind to live for God and never for pleasure. Do you?

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
DOCTRINE OF RICHES
1Timo 6:10… “For the love of money is the root of all evil; which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows” KJV
The daily recklessness of man as always being due to the issue of how to get money to live and to maintain. As a matter of fact many has lost their life for this while some are drowned to the value of money which has its end to be vanity.
Its never a sin to be wealthy/rich, but your life with .money determines your fault. The way you spend your money, the way you use your money, the way you manage your wealth…
1Timothy 6:6-8... “But godliness and contentment is a great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be there with context” KJV
Vs 17-19... “charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate. Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life” KJV
Wrong conceptions about riches/wealth you need to avoid are some which include; It’s a sin, I must engage or involve in ritual before I can make money, It’s assign to some people and not to someone like me, It’s a glory, It’s a choice, I may fail heaven.
No for sure that everyone is created to be rich as God is ever rich in Glory. He created the poor because of the rich, he created the rich because of the poor. Its for the poor to be assisted by the rich for them to be rich. Its also better to suffer on earth to enjoy in heaven than to enjoy on earth and suffer in heaven. Don’t be confused you can enjoy both on earth and in heaven, but you must be much more heavenly minded and fully focused. It need you to seek first the kingdom of God.
Matt 6:33…“But seek you first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you”
“Making money is good but making heaven is better”
Ways through which you can live to rule:
1. Through God given potential in you e.g. your talent, gift. You must be ready to discover God given potential in your life.
2. Through your carrier/job/work… destiny achievement… what are your own field of study, acquisition and learning.
3. Through prizes/awards and giving
4. Through business and initiatives… mention them and point out those you can do as a Christian
5. Through practical learning of human routine activities… creativity, etc
What are you capable of doing , Eccl 9:10 …“Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work nor deceive, nor knowledge, wisdom, in the grave, where you go” KJV
To reach the peak in life, fulfill destiny and to rule. You must be ready to:
work harder… Prov 6:4-11; an idle hand is devils workshop; 2Thessa 3:10,
take advice/counsel/correction…Psalm 90:12
work with time/age 2Thess 3:10. “A man that dare waste 1sec of his time has not know the value of life”
be determined/disciplined...
involve God in your situation; allow God to lead and direct you. He governs our life for he’s the creator. He knows you before he created you. Jere 29:11; 1:4-7. He revealed his plan/will for you. Hab 2:3, Prov 19:21; 16:3, Psalm 25:14.
have a godly model and guardian. They put you through and encourage you even when depress...
be focus/strive with all vigor to make it…
don’t panic neither fear…
don’t limit yourself. Believe you can do it…see yourself on top and as the best…
pray your way out…Psalm 138:8, Matt 7:7
in all, work with faith… Heb 11:1
You are born to rule in your generation, in your family, school, town, state, country and across the globe. What are your Plans and your Determination? Be Focused!
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
PRAYER THE MASTER KEY
Matt 7:8… “for everyone that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and him that knocks it shall be opened” KJV
To pray simply means to communicate with God. Its worship addressed to God the father, in the name of God the son and through the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Church prayed for Peter liberty from the prison.. Act 12:5 Christ demanded us to ask in his name… Jhn 14:13
Read also Eph 6:18, Rom 8:26-27
Prayer is a very important aspect of a Christian walk with God. It’s a reality. Through prayer we become very intimate with our Father God and we establish a father-son relationship. Prayer is the master key for all Christians to unveil all mysteries. In the act of communion with God… Deut 5:24, Gen 8:27 Asking and receiving… Psalm 110; 95:6
The prayer you pray should consist of the following: Adoration… Psalm 95:6, Confession… Psalm 32:5, Prov 28:13, 1Jhn 1:8-9, Thanksgiving… Phil 4:6, Psalm 100:4, and Supplication… 1 Timo 2:1, Eph 6:18
For a Christian to be successful in making all exploit; in marital, academics, spiritual, and in all endeavors you need an effective prayer life. It’s the master key to the door of making great exploit.
“A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian” when you don’t pray, you become a prey to the devil.
We read about our bible characters today who prayed to succeed: Moses: Exo 15:23-25, David: Psalm 1:1-2, Elijah: 1Kings 18:37-39, Hannah: Jam 5:17-18, 1Sam 1:9-17, Daniel: Dan 6:10, 9:1-19, Esther: Esther 4:16, Jesus: Matt 26:39-42…
To be effective in prayer, you must be able to: Pray in the Holy Ghost… Jude 20, Rom 8:26, Eph 6:18, Work with Faith… Mark 11:23-24, Luke 1:37, According to Gods will… Luke 22:24, Fast and pray... Matt 7:21, Read and study the scripture … Matt 6:7-8, Mk 11:24, Acts 6:4
You must be ready to make yourself a praying Christian. Is a command for you: 1Thessa 5:17, 1Chron 16:11, Jam 5:13, Psalm 50:15, Matt 26:18-36, Luke 18:16… “that men ought to pray, and not to faint”
Early Church did, Jesus our foreman did, so likewise he expect us to do: Mark 1:35, Luke 6:2; 3:21
Things that hinders our prayer:
1. Our iniquities/sin: Isa 59:1-2, unrighteousness 1Jhn 3:14, 22
2. Unforgiveness Matt 5:23-24
3. Praying amiss James 4:3
4. Feigned faith/doubting mind James 1:5-7
You must avoid them to have a close communion with your God.
QUIET TIME
Mark 1:35… “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, He went out and depart into a solitary place, and there prayed” KJERE
The quiet time is a period set aside for praying, reading and meditating on the word of God. One need a good judgement in splitting on the actual time available to him. How many hours do you spend with God daily?
Develop your prayer life today and become a threat to your enemies, seeing your way through and growing to make exploits.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
VICTOR AND NOT A VICTIM
Obstacles along the way to your exploit has been reveal in previous study. You need now to be a VICTOR and not VICTIM. For success and greater works. You are entitled to them.
Do not start something good with something wrong. It will cost you more to correct it. So start well because even the righteousness cannot do anything tangible with a faulty foundation. I wonder the drama that would ensue when we get to heaven. It be shocking to see a supposed accomplished “Professor Emeritus” pushed aside for claiming academic merits he never earned with his own hand and labor. I doubt if Heaven will ignore how you rise to become “a big-man”. But these are issues that many people in our time have trivialized. I plead with you, don’t go on a long journey with possessions that are not your own.
Being your best in God and for God through exploits in various areas cannot be achieved by more wishes. Only those who are willing and ready to pay the price can become their best for God is great but except you follows the divine pathway; your pursuit will soon become a mirage – a Chasing after the wind friends, no matter your past failures and mistakes or even present challenges, you can attain Gods best for your life even you that have not heard and it has not yet come to the heart of any man what God has planned for those who love Him. Just allow the Lord to lead the way and you shall have good success.
Are you born again? See you on top; Shalom!
