  • FIVE-FOLD OFFICES – Pst. Ife Adetona

    FIVE-FOLD OFFICES – Pst. Ife Adetona

    There are three kinds of Apostles: Apostles of the Lamb (the 12), Foundational or News Testament Apostles (Paul & Others) and then, the Modern Day Apostles.

    Before now, Apostles are generally explained as those who plant churches but the understanding has gone far beyond that. It is not that God’s plan changed but our understanding improves as times & seasons unfold God’s definition.

    An Apostle is a massive Church planter across different territories.
    Or- an apostle is a pioneer and groundbreaker of a particular territory.
    Or- an apostle revives a particular doctrine in the body of Christ.
    Or- an apostle ushers a generation into a move or dimension of the Spirit.

    A person who combines the Prophet office and the Teacher office is an apostle. That is because he is likely to revive a particular Biblical doctrine(s) or truth or move.

    PROPHET
    There are also TWO KINDS of Prophets. Foundational or News Testament Prophets or Modern Day Prophets. A prophet is usually a preacher with the regular manifestation of five to six prophetic gifts (word of wisdom, word of knowledge, discerning of spirits, diverse kinds of tongues, interpretation of tongues & prophecy). The degree would be quite high in at least one of those gifts and manifest adequately in others. Some prophets try to teach, they try to reignite a doctrine and also try to establish new doctrines. These prophets usually commit massive blunders while trying to do so. Meanwhile, they can desire the teaching gift but they need to be humble to learn how it is done. Prophets usually have healings and they are more evangelistic than pastoral.

    PASTOR
    “A Pastor has an organized Church”. Sorry, I mean we used to think all Pastors must have an organized denominational church. It is not so. A pastor is a shepherd with sheep in an organized setting (denominational or non-denominational). A pastor preaches or teaches. A pastor tenders, nurses and watches individuals NOT a building or chairs.

    EVANGELIST
    If you break new grounds, if you have massive signs and wonders including healing and miracles EVEN if you see Jesus but if you do not have an organised membership (pastoral service), you are not an apostle, you are an evangelist. You are a great man of God and not the least of all. Evangelists are also less prophetic. Many evangelists exhort or preach and some (a few) teach.

    TEACHER
    Actually, a minister of God either preaches or teaches. But God raises people in the office of a Teacher to teach concrete Biblical knowledge and doctrines. They have both pastoral and evangelistic tendencies because they win souls and groom those souls. This differentiates them from teachers in the help ministry.

    HELP MINISTRY
    If you sing, you’re not an evangelist. If you act drama, you are not an evangelist EXCEPT if you are an evangelist that sings or an evangelist that acts drama. Else, you are in the help ministry.

    Note, I am not explaining or criticizing titles, I am only explaining offices. In heaven, many ministers will come forward to receive the reward of planting a Church but a woman in the help ministry of prayer who birth the Church on her knees will be called forward. The Help Ministry is big and recognised. God can call men into it as full-time or part-time. For further study, I have three free books in circulation on this.

    NOTE
    You will only grow into the full realization of your calling. You can’t get there the day you stepped into the ministry. Also, title does not necessarily promote, growth does.

    Many will not grow into even the first phase of their ministry and calling till they die. So, we must take heed to ensure that we fulfil our ministry.

    Let me remind you that, if you are called into the ministry, the journey has not begun until you answer FULL TIME.

  • UNDERSTANDING RHEMA AND LOGOS

    UNDERSTANDING RHEMA AND LOGOS

    When I was on campus, I used to hear people shouting RHEMA whenever a man of God said something deep from the word of God. But in no time I emulated this culture of shouting RHEMA whenever I want to appraise a man of God’s teachings even without knowing the meaning, but as time went by, I got to know that rhema is a Greek word that means the word of God. I will be opening your eyes to the full understanding of this word in the lines of this book.

    Let’s go a bit theological, the word Rhema is a Greek word, spelled as ῥῆμα, transliterated as rhēma and pronounced as “rhray’-mah”. The word Rhema is found seventy (70) times in the New Testament. I will be bringing five of it to your attention for in-depth study before I tell you the definition of the word Rhema.

    A second time the rooster crowed. Then Peter called to mind the word (rhema) that Jesus had said to him, Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times. And when he thought about it, he wept.

    Mark 14:72

    While Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word (rhema) of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

    Luke 3:2

    Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in Me? The words (rhema) that I speak to you I do not speak on My authority, but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

    John 14:10

    Who will tell you words (rhema) by which you and all your household will be saved.

    Acts 11:14

    It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words (rhema) that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

    John 6:63

    From the above bible passages above, you are going to see that the word of God used in this context is spoken or written specifically, they are the words God speaks out not to everyone, but to an individual. Yes! The word God has spoken to you is your own Rhema, it is meant for your dealings. They are the words the Lord has revealed to you, they’re the raw materials for your desired wonders, they serve as lamps to your feet and light to your path. They are the words that were sorted for whenever one is about to take crucial steps. Now, note this, every Rhema must be rooted in the logos which shall be explained next.

    2.LOGOS

    To explain logos to you, I will like us to go theological as well. Logos is a Greek word, spelled as λόγος, transliterated as logos and pronounced as log’-os. The word Logos appears three hundred and thirty-one times (331) in the New Testament, but let me give you just five (5) instances of where it was used to explain what it is to you.

    Therefore whoever hears these sayings (logos) of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

    Matthew 7:24

    The sower sows the word (logos).

    Mark 4:14

    So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word (logos) of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret.

    Luke 5: 1

    That the saying (logos) of Jesus might be fulfilled which He spoke, signifying by what death He would die.

    John 18:32

    Then the word (logos) of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.

    Acts 6:7

    Critically, look at the contextual use of “word,” you will see that it was spoken or written generally to people, it was not meant for a particular person.

    HOW DO THEY RELATE?

    Logos can be likened to a well, while Rhema can be likened to your bucket, it is the bucket that draws from the well. This means that all Rhema are drawn from the Logos, any Rhema that is not having the background of the logos should be discarded and disregarded.

    Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

    2 Timothy 2:15

    Paul was admonishing Timothy as I want to admonish you. He said Timothy should study the Logos because it is how studious he is in logos that God is going to examine, that will make God approve a Rhema word for him and remember, that the Rhema word is the raw materials for any wonders you desire.

  • ADVICE FOR THE YOUTHS

    ADVICE FOR THE YOUTHS

    Dear Youth,
    Life will not always give you the luxury of time to pursue your purpose. Today, you’re all over seminars and lectures, trying to discover your purpose but how much energy are you putting into fulfilling it? You thought you have all the time?

    I know you wish to marry early too but do you know that the earlier you get married, the harder it is to pursue your purpose if you are not already grounded in it?

    A time is coming, coming fast, what matters won’t be the purpose but how you can make money and put food on the table- be it a man or woman.

    What I am saying is that, if you don’t give it all to your purpose now, you may not be able to go after it later on. Look around you, aside from full-time ministers, aside from those in the medical field, how many people are in their purpose? They hope to do it later.

    Mind you, that you’re a minister does not make it automatic and that’s why you see many people in the part-time! The fear of total dependency on God and suffering forces many who are meant for full-time to stay at the crossroad.

    When I asked some people their age, I hear- am just 30! Just 30? Do you think that I am 40? Or do you think I am 35? Just assume that the only time you have to fulfil your purpose is between now and when you’re 30.

  • QUICK FACT ON HOLY COMMUNION – Pst. Ife Adetona

    QUICK FACT ON HOLY COMMUNION – Pst. Ife Adetona

    Do you know you can serve Holy Communion to yourself or to your family as the priest that you are?

    Smith Wigglesworth revealed that the secret to his long life and sound health is taking communion every day at their dining table.

    Do you think Jesus ordered a different or special food for communion? No. He took a part out of their supper (Passover meal) and separated that portion as communion. You can separate a portion of your meal and do the same.

    Mathew 26:26 As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “

    The problem is that we limit communion to “remembrance”. What if we see it as a healing substance or the life of Christ in a man? A lot of people got their healing via communion in our meetings. Many received sound health and some others got strength over addictions.

  • WONDERS WORKING WORD LAUNCHING

    WONDERS WORKING WORD LAUNCHING

    To God be the glory of all things He has done. I can’t but appreciate Him for teaching my hands to war and my fingers to fight in writing this book.

    I’m pleased to notify you that the long-awaited book “WONDERS WORKING WORD,” will be released today to the body of Christ to bless lives and destiny, and to cause many to always think of the word of God as the first and the only solution to any life-threatening situations or circumstances you may find yourself and also to work wonders in our lives to unbelievers to see and bring them to the place of the cross.

    ABOUT THE BOOK.

    When God wanted to heal, He sent His word, when He wanted to deliver, He sent His word, when He wanted to create man, He spoke His word, when He wanted to save, He sent His word, when He wanted to revive, He sent His word.

    Thus, for you to walk in the dimension of this wonderful God, you also need His word!

    WONDER WORKING WORD” is a book that exposes you to how you can use the word of God to create the desired wonders in your life.
    Get ready for a great ride as you read through this great piece.

    OVERVIEW OF THE BOOKS.

    The book is having six [6] chapters:

    CHAPTER 1: THE NEED FOR WONDERS.

    As the scripture says that without signs and wonders, people won’t believe. This chapter emphasizes why believers should be wonder commanders which is to aid the gospel.

    It also explained how the wonderful act of God performed by the patriarch in the Bible brought so many people to the kingdom of God!

    CHAPTER 2: UNDERSTANDING THE WORD.

    This chapter explained the different dimensions of the word of God we have.
    It also demystifies the difference between Rhema and Logos.

    CHAPTER 3: WONDERS OF TONGUES.

    The urgent need for every believer after giving their lives to Christ is to be initiated into the world of the supernatural, and speaking in tongues is the entrance to this world.

    This chapter explained how it’s the initial evidence of Holy Ghost baptism and how it can be accessed by anyone that desires it.

    CHAPTER 4: WONDERS OF HEALING.

    The greatest need of every man to live a meaningful life is to be free from sickness.
    Sickness is the younger brother of death, but it is a gift to all believers to be free from sickness and not only to heal the sick.

    This chapter will show you how you can heal the sick, and bring the sick world to the knowledge of Christ!

    CHAPTER 5: WONDERS OF PROSPERITY.

    The Bible says: through prosperity shall the kingdom of God be spread abroad.
    The devil is trying to bring so many people to his kingdom through money.
    To always command finance at every point in time according to the kingdom pattern, you have to follow God’s terms and conditions, everything was explained in this chapter.

    CHAPTER 6: TAKING THE ROD.

    This chapter will open your eyes to how you can always use the word of God to command the desired result in your life.

    THE LAUNCHING.

    I, therefore present this book, “WONDERS WORKING WORD,” to the body of Christ to do that which God had wanted to do with it in the name of God the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.

  • HOW SADOZ STARTED

    HOW SADOZ STARTED

    Today, I shall intimate my readers of the brief history of the Sons and Daughters of Zion [SADOZ].

    SADOZ started as a burden for discipleship and relationship. That is why we say SADOZ is a discipleship and relational movement where the Holy Spirit is our Discipler.

    There was a gap between a young man(The SADOZ PRESIDENT) and his disciples. The need to bridge this gap is the genesis of the ministry. There is also a burden to reach all men with the reality of having a communal relationship with the Holy Spirit and this culminated to reach out to more disciples.

    Also, is the dire need for the end time believers to have a balanced understanding of the Scriptures: rightly dividing the word of truth. In essence, SADOZ is set by God to raise disciples: to have a communion relationship with the Holy Ghost and rightly divide the word of truth.

    The Sons and Daughters of Zion has grew from seven members to thousands of members and we are trusting God to move into tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands and even millions in the years to come.

    Today SADOZ runs the Koinonia Bible Institute; it is an online school that runs effectively. We have several courses under this platform which includes:

  • CAT ON MY WALL – Pst. Ife Adetona

    CAT ON MY WALL – Pst. Ife Adetona

    My wife and I were relaxing in the visitors’ room one certain evening when we saw a cat walking majestically on the fence. My wife was the first to see it. I looked up and smiled. I said in my heart- “what a cute animal”. We looked away from it and continued with our gist.

    Night after night, we hear the sounds of the cat fighting some animals behind our window. On a certain night, my wife said she was sure that the cat was fighting with a shrew (eku asin). A shrew is a rat-like animal with a long mouth and poisonous bite. Oh, God! How I hate that thing. I have seen it a couple of times walked in and out of our house through the kitchen door. I wanted to kill it already. Alas! God sent the cat to kill the mice because after that bout we didn’t see it again.

    Thank God I didn’t cast and bind the angelic cat.

    Yes, witches can possess cats as well as some other animals. But we have exaggerated it in Africa. In 99.9% of cases, witches don’t turn into cats, they can only transproject (I’m not sure if that is the right word) through it. That is, they may be in their room but see everything you are doing through the eyes of the cat. If you look at the cat eyeball to eyeball, especially if it is your own, you can cast out the demon making the connection. You also seal your house or yourself from being spied upon with the blood of Jesus if you suspect such activity around you.

    It is not only through animals that witchcraft can spy on you. They can do it through writings on the walls too. I was in the room of one of my sons. Guess what I saw on the wall- an occultic graffiti. I don’t know who lived in that room before or why but there was an occultic eye in the room. Innocent boy, he moved into the room without repainting or closing the eyes. I asked him if he knew its meaning, and he said no. I smiled and told him to enjoy his sleep. Though ignorant, I knew they can’t hurt him. He is covered.

    What’s my point?

    Here, in Africa, we deal with witchcraft from the place of ignorance instead of understanding. We end up as victims of our fears and they succeed in oppressing us at the same time.

  • HOW TO EXIT TRYING TIME IV

    HOW TO EXIT TRYING TIME IV

    WHAT TO DO WHILE WAITING

    1. DO NOT ACCEPT FATE

    Luke 1:18
    “And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.”

    Don’t be like Zacharia. He accepted the status quo and didn’t believe the angel when he told him the promise. You will do yourself more harm when you accept the situation as a fate while waiting. Similarly, Sarah did the same thing, but mercy spoke for them(Zechariah and Sarah respectively). Mercy will speak for you as well in Jesus name.

    2. Use CDA+
    Mark 11:24
    “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

    CDA+ is a household name for the Sons And Daughters Of Zion[SADOZ] which means Confess, Declare, Announce and + stands for imagine.
    CDA is speaking positively in spite of all all you’re passing through. And beyond speaking, start imagining it as well. Don’t just say it within, speak it out loud so that the world hear it. So, don’t feel pity about it and keep declaring your new status..

    3. Use your rod

    Exodus 14:14-16
    “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.”

    This is your part to play,you’re to take steps of faith.
    You are making wedding plans and there’s no money in your account, God told you it’s time? Then take the step of faith.
    You’re waiting on God for your admission? Go and take the next form and write your exam, your rod as a student is to read for your exam. Your rod is peculiar to your situation. Yours is to go and study books, apply for courses and make researches..

    I pray for you that your time has come. The Lord open your eyes to see the steps to take and the rod to take in Jesus name.

    4. Be Praiseful

    Psalms 100:4
    “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
    It’s when you’re prideful that you have access to God and God will the step into your case.”

    5. Be Joyful

    Isaiah 12:3
    “Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
    Joy is a drawer, it’s the tools needed to draw your redemption rights and without it you will just end up in frustration.”

    6. Listen to your prophet

    Isaiah 44:26
    “That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:”

    2 Chronicles 20:20
    ” And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.”

    Your prophet have the mandate to speak over your life to end all your trying times under God. When you listen to them, you gain directions.

    7. Obey prophetic instructions

    John 2:5
    ” His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.”

    Whatever your Prophet tells you to do, do it!!!
    It is in that instruction that your deliverance lies. The instruction I’m giving here is to be patient and go over this again and examine your life where you’re missing it.

    Have you realized where you are getting it wrong? Can you just tell it to God to forgive you and receive the grace to do the needful. It’s well with you in Jesus name.

  • HOW TO EXIT TRYING TIMES II

    HOW TO EXIT TRYING TIMES II

    1 Corinthians 10:13
    “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

    The less informed you are, about trying times, the more you have chances of loosing what God has in stock for you. And for you to exit trying times, you have to know the following:

    1. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO MAN

    1 Corinthians 10:13
    “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is COMMON TO MAN: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

    You must firstly have the understanding that trial is common to every man be it believer or unbeliever, anointed or unanointed alike.
    You’re not the only one passing through that particular trial. There is a Yoruba adages which says: ‘ saying this situation has never occurred in life is just a means of scaring the victim’.
    So, this is to justify the fact that, what you’re passing through is not a new trial. There are 10001 people that have passed through this same trial you’re passing through, and they all fall into 2 categories; some failed while some succeeded. Those who failed, didn’t do anything about it, while those who succeeded, are those who did something about it. They never quitted!!!
    You are the determinant of the success of your trial. The truth is that, it had happened to some people and they testified afterwards.
    Hebrews 6:12
    “That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

    2. IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE BEYOND YOU

    1 Corinthians 10:13
    “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted ABOVE THAT YE ARE ABLE; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

    The trial you’re passing through, is not meant to be beyond you. The moment it is beyond you and you don’t know what to do again, it’s a signal that something is wrong. When an individual is involved in an accident, and the concerned part of the body is being stitched by the doctor, it’s expected that when the operation is going on, it shouldn’t be painful, and once it gets painful, it means something is wrong. That moment when the trial is overwhelming you, is a pointer to the fact that you’re not doing what you are supposed to do. And that is what we shall be dealing with in this series.

    3. IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE FOREVER

    1 Corinthians 10:13
    “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a WAY OF ESCAPE, that ye may be able to bear it..”

    The trial you are passing through, is not meant to be forever, so don’t lose hope. It will be wrong to accept it as a fate either. Don’t see the devil in it even if it is the devil that brought you into it. Start seeing God who will bring you out of it. And also, if it’s as a result of your past sin, lean on the cleaning power of the blood of Jesus. Do not allow the devil to pin you down with guilt.
    God is ready to bring you out of that trial, Yes! He has provided a way of escape for you if you would be ready to accept Him into your trials.

    4. IT’S ONLY MEANT FOR A WHILE

    1 Peter 5:10
    “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”

    Isaiah 32:10(NLT).
    “In a short time—just a little more than a year, you careless ones will suddenly begin to care. For your fruit crops will fail, and the harvest will never take place.”

    The trial is only for a while, and it is not meant to be too long. It is not meant to be forever. the definition of ‘a while’ by God is a little more than a year, and once it’s more than a year, it’s becoming something else.
    And if I may ask; do you know what is making it longer than the time it should be? It shall be discussed in the next part!!!

    Now, check yourself, has the trial been taking a very long while in your life? I decree that your set time has come in the name of Jesus.

    You will testify today!!! You will testify this week!!!

    You will testify this month!!!

    It will not be more than this month in the name of Jesus..

    Amen!

  • HOW TO EXIT TRYING TIME III

    HOW TO EXIT TRYING TIME III

    WHAT LENGTHENS TRYING TIME?

    James 1:3-4
    “Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”

    Romans 5:3-4
    “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope:”

    Hebrews 6:12
    “That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

    For every trying time, there is a reason for it and the reason is to work out patience, and until patience does it work perfectly, you may not be out of that time. Until you understand what patience is, that trying time may not go, and the purpose of patience is to work out experience of victory.

    What is patience?

    1. It is the gap between the time you pray and the time the prayer gets answered.

    2. It is not waiting with the mindset of ‘what will be will be’.

    3. It is not waiting on top of the issue and worrying, but waiting on top of it without worry.

    4. It is when that issue is no more your everyday prayer point.

    5. It is first a state of mind than an action.

    6. It is to be still in hope and strong in faith.

    7. It is to be unmoved and unbothered despite the trials.

    HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE OUT OF PATIENCE?

    1. When you remind yourself and God about the situation always.

    Genesis 15:1-2
    “After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?”

    Genesis 17:1
    ” And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.”

    Abram kept on reminding God about his situation anytime He had an encounter with God. Even after God had made the covenant with him, he was impatient. In verse 16, he went further to commit sin by having a sexual affair with his house maid. But in verse 17, God told him to be patient, and until he achieved this, his name was not changed and he couldn’t lay hold on the promise of God for his life.

    2. When the burden is always on your heart.
    Appearing before God always, with the burden in your heart is lack of trust in God. It implies that you are telling God that though you’ve told Him about it, but you’re not sure He will be able to handle it well. Keep off the burden in your heart and move on. God is able and capable of handling the situation, you just trust in him.

    EFFECTS OF IMPATIENCE

    1. You will be unstable

    Psalms 92:13
    “Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.”

    You will be tossed to and fro, you won’t be able to be rooted in the God ordained Zion for your life.

    2. You wander away from your God-ordained prophet.

    3. You prolong your waiting time
    James 1:4,7-8
    ” But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and” entire, wanting nothing.
    “For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”

    4. You will desperately make wrong decision

    5. Murmuring
    Numbers 14:27
    “How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.”

    Those that murmur use to die because God always hears murmuring and He hates it a lot.

    I decree upon your life that the spirit of impatience die today in the name of Jesus. In the next part (Part4), I shall be telling you what to do while waiting.
