There are two cheat codes for deliverance.

Engage the demon to tell you it’s legal stand.

Don’t get too deep conversing with demon else, you’ll be charged with a crime called “consulting a medium”. But from experience, you can’t cast some demons out until they reveal or you know their legal stand. I have seen cases where until we loosed the attachments on the lady’s head, the demons didn’t leave. Not that attachments are demonic, e get why e be like that, if you want to learn, ask ni, don’t argue.

Another case, she was coming to my house. She quickly wiped her eye brown (hope I get it).

She met us praying. She fell and started manifesting. Demon told us she used a friend eye paint. We didn’t seen any on her but we cleaned the eye with water. We cast, demon left. When she woke, I asked her. She said ” BUT I CLEANED IT BEFORE GETTING HERE. That’s one of the reasons our apostolic fathers banned all these things. Again, eye paints are not demonic- e get as e follow.

Second cheat code –

After all effort and tarry. Get the person to talk if they know of any legal standing for the demons. Anything at all. THEN, LET HIM DELIVER HIMSELF. This is a case of the door being locked from inside, you can’t open it from outside. He should open from inside with a simple CONFESSION. Then pray for him. FAITH & SHALOM.

I made a post on the easy way to handle deliverance where I stated my experience in some deliverance sessions. I mentioned cases demons refused to leave their hosts until we had loosed the attachment on the person’s head and a case we had to clean the eyes’ paints. Deliverance ministers will tell you that they experienced a lot of cases like this. And this is one of the reasons the apostolic fathers of faith totally condemned the use of those items.

However, I added in the post that those items are not demonic but there’s a reason demons may demand cleaning them or losing them before they could depart their host. I will explain this by citing Rebecca Brown MD. Rebecca Brown is a topmost deliverance minister that resides in the USA. She doesn’t deal with witches, wizards and possessed people, she deals with SATANISTS. I mean real Satanists and not the ceremonial ones. Those that hold meetings with Satan and demons. They have covenanted with him. She has delivered some top-ranking Satanists. She said Lucifer once appeared to her threatening her PHYSICALLY (not a vision). She was attacked by a werewolf. She said a male friend of hers who I believe is her husband was attacked by a vampire. Not in the dreams but PHYSICALLY. I tell you this so you know she’s an authority in the field of deliverance. I learnt many things about deliverance from her.

Talking about attachments, paints and so on, she explained that those items are used when Satanists hold their meetings with Lucifer. Ex-Satanists confirmed this to her. Because of that, demons could easily attach themselves to those items. Other factors could aid this to happen anyway. Most especially the person’s spiritual life just like the lady I prayed with. She was low spiritually. She borrowed eye paints from a friend in a tutorial class. That way, a demon was passed unto her.

To be on the safe side, if you must use these items, PRAY OVER THEM, CAST OUR DEVILS AND ANOINT THEM. I usually anoint any new thing we bring or buy into the house especially the ones we have to use or wear.

As I flashed back on those days when I was neck deep into deliverance, casting and binding, I was asking myself, if I am in a deliverance session today and the demons asked me to lose the hair of a lady before they can leave, will I obliged? I guess, I won’t. I will lay my hands on the hair and break their grip over it. If she bought the hair, she owned it and the devil cannot lay claim to it. I haven’t put this into practice anyway because I haven’t been much involved in “casting out” in a while. The few I get involved with didn’t take me through this route. I will be on the lookout to put this into use. If have any experience in this line, do share.

Should I tell you that it is not all demons in deliverance sessions that SPEAK AUDIBLY? Some don’t speak at all and some talk in the spirit. You need to hear them spiritually before knowing what to do. This happened in Jesus’ ministry. It is a post for another day. If you demand it, I will write on it.

#2 You mix God’s money with your money.

Many GOs, founders and presidents of ministries dabble into God’s offering committing the sin of Hophni and Phinehas. They say to themselves: “God’s money is my money and my money is God’s money”. That’s sacrilege.

Bishop David Oyedepo told us a story of a man of God he went to preach for. After the service, the man dived to where they were counting the offering and dipped his hands into the box. He took some cash and drove off. While on their way, he stopped the car, got down and came back with sardines, bread and orisirisi in his hands. Bishop exclaimed: “is it the money you took from the offering box that you used to buy all these things?” He said: “Yes, we are going to take care of the man of God, isn’t it?” Bishop said- “God forbid I eat from that money”.

Nobody counted the money.
Nobody recorded it
And he is not going to report how it was spent to anyone.

We can’t even begin to mention the consequences this act is costing you and the ministry.

First, to take unaccounted money leaves others with the power to do the same when you turn your back.

You are building trust issues around yourself.

You are not preparing for a great ministry. You can do that because you are small and you will remain small.

Above all, you are heaping the curses of Hophni and Phinehas upon yourself and your generation.

In our ministry, if my family has any kobo to give to the ministry, we send it to the ministry’s account and it is recorded as a seed.

There is something called impress. If I need to make any purchase on behalf of the ministry, the money is released and I return with a breakdown to the last dime. The treasurer will put all in her records. It is the same with whoever is taking any money out to get a thing done on behalf of the ministry. That is how we run the ministry from 2014 till date. It is all recorded in a hardcover.

Taking and spending unaccounted money for whatever reason is STEALING. It doesn’t matter if you spend it on the ministry or even added your money to it. You are still a THIEF. Please, REPENT and put things in order.

THE LORD BE WITH ALL OF US. Amen

#1 Wrong expectations.

When I decided I was going to go full time, I started asking God some questions like: where am I going to live because I was staying in an official lodge? I also asked God: “WHO IS GOING TO PAY MY SALARY?”, ” Where will my money come from?” Do those statements sound familiar? I first heard it from Bishop Oyedepo as some of the questions he asked God and so I decided to do the same.

God asked me, “Who pays a Teller that works in a bank? The bank or the customers? I said: the bank.

Then, He said: customers bring money to the bank in other to save it. The Teller must not look at the customer or the money in expectation to be paid from it. I said YES.

He went on: but the Teller must attend to the customer well even though she’s not expecting to be paid by the customers or from the money that was brought by them. “YES SIR”.

Also, He said: the Teller’s salary and promotion are based on how well she attends to the customers. Again, I said YES.

Then, He explained the meaning of the illustration: I am your Employer, I am the one to pay you and not the people or your members you minister to. They will have testimonies just like customers bringing money to the bank but they are not to pay you. You must also attend to them well because that determines if you will be paid or not.

I argued: BUT IT IS MEN THAT GOD WOULD USE.

He replied: look up to God that will use men and not the men that God would use.

It is painful that pastors would labour on someone, they will have testimonies but not remember their pastors. But it is very wrong for any pastor to feel OFFENDED BY THIS. It’s like a teacher getting offended that his students didn’t pay him or bankers getting offended that customers who came to deposit a huge sum of money didn’t pay them.

It is this wrong expectation that leads to OFFENCE, BITTERNESS, CUSSING, and ANGER towards yourself and those you are ministering to.

If you feel bad, take it to God. If you’re angry, take it to God. If you feel cheated or neglected, take it to God. It is God that employed you and not those people. If you try to look up to them, the biggest they can give you is what they call ” tipping”. And if your Employer catches you asking for tips, you can be fired! Many are pastors whom God has left to enjoy the “tipping” while their salaries are withheld. Stop cheating yourself. Satan is not the one that kept you poor. Get over the wrong expectation.

Celebrating 7 Years in Full-Time ministry plus 4 years in the ministry I served full-time, making 11 years.

You all know that I am a staunch advocate for full-time ministry. Probably, another side of me you don’t know is that I have discouraged a good number of people who came to me for counsel concerning going full-time. That’s usually due to timing and the fact that some didn’t have something to build full-time ministry upon. I have also refrained from advising some people because they didn’t let me talk. They come with the attitude of: “GOD SAYS and there is nothing you can say to me.”

Another thing you should know about me is that I strongly believe in the office of the part-time ministry. The church is designed to have much more volunteers than full-time staff. Part-time ministers are elevated church workers or ordained workers just like the 7 deacons selected in the book of Acts. It only becomes funny when part-time ministers push an agenda that there is no point in full-time. Many of them know only little about full-time ministry and it shows in the way they talk and act when the issue of full-time ministers is raised. That’s a discussion for another day.

Above all is my forward passion for FULL-TIME MINISTERS most especially in the area of finances because that is the area people mock the most. Finance is also the reason many people meant for full-time has settled for part-time.

In lieu of this, I want to do a series titled “WHY FULL-TIME MINISTERS ARE POOR“. It will be short daily nuggets. I hope to cover as many reasons as possible because there are a lot of factors that can contribute towards it.

I hope to also link it together so much that you can see all the previous series.

Take this walk with me and do well to share and tag those you believe needs to see it either as full-time ministers or aspiring full-time minister.

DROP A WORD OF PRAYER FOR DADDY IN THE COMMENT BOX

We started the study on PERSONAL LEADERSHIP
We close it by stating the importance of BOOK READING in the transformation of a leader
2Ti 4:13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
How did Paul whom was never among the 12 knew so much and become so prominent?Books✅

Jesus opened the book and He discovered what was written about Him
I believe most people know the importance of books but the challenge is they don’t know HOW TO START
It all starts with SELECTION
Select books that you NEED
Adults learn faster when they read what they need
You hate books, right?
But in school, you read those handouts and textbooks.
Why?
Do you say it’s a must?
That’s just it! Select a book or title by need!

Click on this link now and ask Lydia to send the list of all SADOZ books to you.
wa.me/+2349035972506
Which of it, do you need right away in your life?
Do not aim to read 100 books at once
How many did you read last year?

Let that guide how you will set your goal
You can start by ONE in a month.
Divide it into weeks or invest the holiday of this weekend on it
When I ask people about their interest in book, they cite two challenges

Problems with reading

1. I don’t enjoy reading books.
2. I don’t enjoy reading PDF
Then I used to ask them, DO YOU LISTEN TO MESSAGES?
They usually answer yea!
People that read a lot don’t like much of sounds.

And those who love a lot of sounds feel bored with books
So, I proffer a solution to them:

1.TURN PDF BOOKS INTO AUDIO BOOK

This is easy given the technology available on your phone
But first let me talk some more about PDF and E-book
Hard copy books are good and has their own place but you will be at a disadvantage if you don’t embrace e-copies
The last book I bought was #2,500
Those days we used to buy books for around #800 to #1,500. That’s almost the highest
Tell me, how much can you spare on books per month?
I even bought a book last month for #5,000
One book o
But PDF gives you the room to get books for FREE!
THERE are several channels and platforms today where you can get books from various authors for free!
pdfdrive.com for instance has up to 84,000,000 free books from different authors and subjects
Scribd also has a lot of resources

So, you are losing a lot if you don’t learn to read PDF
I read all the God’s General series in soft copy

2. You can get books at lower price

Some books can never go for absolutely free
But you need them
Most foreign books are available for free but most indigenous books are available freely
Most foreign books are available for free but most indigenous books are available at a cost
Reading from someone who is using examples you can relate with makes a lot of difference
Foreign authors speaks in dollar terms but an indigenous author will speak in your own terminologies and make it simple
Now, PDF gives you their book at cheaper rates if at all you are paying.

3. You can carry several books around on your phone including the ones you have read

If you need references, you can easily check for it

4. You can read anytime and anywhere

I think that is the biggest advantage of PDF books
In the toilet, on the queue, in the bus etc
You can easily read on the go

5. You can also highlight

People said you can’t highlight on hardcopy or make jottings but you can
You can joy on your phone or jot on a notebook
Look at this.

It’s as highlight from ULTIMATE PURPOSE FINDER
The big deal is that if you open this book after 10 years. The highlight will still be there. Even if you open it on another device!

Converting PDF into AUDIO BOOK

let me ask you,
If your phone can be reading the book to you either on the road or in the book or as you’re doing your house chores, will you like it?
You can be sweeping or washing the plates and be reading
You can lie down, play a book and sleep off
When you wake, reverse it to where you were before you slept off

All you need is an app like this. This one is called Epub reader
There are many like it
Once you download it on your phone, just open a book with it and it starts reading
You can also set the speed and the volume

TIPS FOR FAST READING

1. Read for One hour per day.

If you do this, you will read 50 books in a year.

2. Read at your Prime time

Your prime time is your best time. If you read at this time, you cover many pages quickly and retain better.
Divide large books into part
Like first 50 or first 5 chapters
When you complete a milestone, there’s joy that comes to your heart and motivated you further .

3. Set targets

Put some pressure on yourself
Like, announce on your status!

I will finish this book before Salah break is over
You can promise a review after you are done or on each chapter
And finally, the promo ends today
I am happy we have an holiday
If you are blessed by this study, let me know
If you find it helpful, tell me

We all know that the biggest problem we are facing as a country and even as a continent, Africa is LEADERSHIP. We all believe that if a leadership crisis is solved in Nigeria, the country will be a better place instantly!
That’s why many young people got frustrated over the last election because to them, it is the best opportunity to solve all of Nigeria’s problem once and for all.There was a man who was living illegally in Dubai.
He was owing a lot of debt because if you overstay your visa in Dubai, you pay fine for each day. Someone asked him why didn’t he go back home- to Nigeria, he replied: “when XXX become the president, he will transform the country and I will return”. Unfortunately for him, another person was declared. But whatever made him feel if that person enters his life would change automatically is deceiving him.

My point, WE BELIEVE SO MUCH THAT LEADERSHIP IS OUR BIGGEST PROBLEMThat means LEADERSHIP IS THE SOLUTION TO ALL OUR PROBLEMS. But we focus so much on the society, How about we focus on ourself! I mean on yourself.
Do you know that your biggest problem is PERSONAL LEADERSHIP and your solution is PERSONAL LEADERSHIP? You can be whatever you want to be if you LEAD YOURSELF ALRIGHT. A poor man can change his life just by SELF-LEADERSHIP!There are two types of PERSONAL LEADERSHIP
1. Interpersonal leadership
2. Intra-personal leadership
Inter-personal is your connection other people
This is the type we often talk about
But I want to focus on INTRA-PERSONAL LEADERSHIP;this is leadership in relation to yourself

1.It is the lack of personal leadership that leads to an indiscipline lifestyle.

Leadership is all about putting resources to work. As an individual, there are several parts of your body that you lead every day.
You have your head, your hands, your leg…etc
How you coordinate each of them determines the value you will get in life.
Some people find it difficult to WAKE UP DESPITE THE ALARM ⏰
at this your age, you still need someone to wake you for SFA by 5:30 am on SADOZ ONLINE PLATFORM? and when you eventually wake, your eyes are opened but your body is telling you that you can’t do anything and you allow it!
You can’t lead your body to do the right thing!
Some of us found it difficult to bathe in holidays? Why? You know it’s right but you can’t lead tour body
Your eyes love to watch movies but hate books
Loves to gossip but dislike praying!
And you cannot lead yourself to do the right thing. That’s how leadership starts
Self-discipline is self-leadership and self-leadership is the bedrock of greatness
You take less out of life if you don’t know how to CARRY YOURSELF to do what’s right!
Ability to do this very well is what is called intra-personal leadership and the failure will result in crisis. A man who is disciplined in putting his body to work as at when due and to do the right thing has a good personal leadership.

2. It is the lack of intra-personal leadership that makes many people to commit suicide.

Their emotion is gone out of control!
Someone told me how he attempted suicide twice but did not die. He told me his problem
I pieces it and explained to him. He realized it doesn’t worth it
You didn’t learn to put your emotions and mood in check on simple things, you’re creating a disaster for yourself. And it is good personal leadership that makes a man live through trials and shame to emerge a winner.
There is EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION and there is INTRINSIC MOTIVATION
Extrinsic comes from people
Intrinsic comes from internal
If you don’t learn to motivate yourself, people will rubbish your potential
You will think they are whom they say you are and then miss it!
You upload a picture of yourself, 99 people said it’s beautiful, 1 person said it’s ugly then you lose your sleep over that one person
What if the 100 persons said it was ugly? What will you do?
Self-leadership includes the ability to live through shames and trials and still emerge a winner!

3. With a good intra-personal leadership skill, even if you were born into a poor family, you can lead yourself out of poverty.

Many people are doing things that are leading them FURTHER INTO poverty and they don’t care
Pro 6:10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep
When I was heading for the full-time ministry, they told me that I was going to be very poor!
I simply asked: “If I want to be rich as a full-time minister without begging or any crooked means, what do I need to do?”
I got the answer….I am doing them
Tell me, it’s 7years in full time, am I poor?
I strongly believe that a man can lead himself from poverty into prosperity no matter how poor his parents are
And his or her background
I was born with what you can call wooden or plastic spoon in the mouth and not with a silver spoon.
I have lived in some of the poorest habitations you can imagine but to the glory of God, I’m out of it.
I decided from childhood that when I become independent, I will never live in a room or two room apartments popularly known as Face Me n Face You.
That was where I grew and I know the troubles associated with such households, so I decided never to live in such a place again, not even as a student and the Lord granted my heart desires.
If you currently live in such, just decide from now to be out of it in as manner of time
Most of the richest men in the world never come from rich families.The day I heard the childhood story of Myles Munroe, I said in my heart that even my father who lived in Nigeria was richer than his father.
If he could rise from such background and become the success he is

Understanding oneself and ones emotions

Understanding oneself and ones emotions; the things to do to have good moods and to come out of bad moods is a product of a good personal leadership.

Many people lack self-awareness and that has affected their self-esteem.

That is an evident of leadership crisis.
You must be aware of your body as well as your internal attributes
If I feel pain in different parts of my head, I can tell you what is wrong and what to do to correct it.
One of the reasons I have never broken down by the grace of God in spite of my many tasks is due to self-awareness.
I know how my body works and how it reacts to activities. I know what to do to manage and prevent crisis and most especially, the time to rest.

4.Lack of discipline is another result of personal leadership crisis.

When you cannot put your body to do the right things and refrain it from doing the wrong thing, it is lack of discipline.
Job said he made a covenant with his eyes not to look lustfully at a lady
Job 31:1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
There is a reason the Bible calls one of the fruit of the Spirit, self-control.Self-control is self-leadership.
You need to master your emotions and control your sexual urge.
At this point, you may be asking-

SO HOW CAN I LEAD MYSELF?

First, you have to be specific?
Lead yourself to do what?
To be hardworking?To be self-disciplined?To control your urges?To pray?Which area exactly?

You need to GO FOR BOOKS

Are you blessed at all?
Receive grace in Jesus Name

I made a post lately where I asked a harmless and sincere question about “talk-singing”. It seems rampant these days that I really felt I was the odd one. I actually told myself: “If people didn’t enjoy it, why is it common? Ife, you are the odd one here.” But people’s comments revealed that many share the same sentiment. We can safely say, 70% of any audience does not enjoy it. And that’s big.

The aim was never to gaslight any person, people or ministry. Anyone could see that. My opinion is mine, it’s not a rule or a verdict on any ministry. Likewise, the opinions of people that commented underneath. Thus far, those opinions are both genuine and sincere. Every profession must get feedback from those it serves in other to improve. That’s why mobile apps chase us around for ratings and comments. If constructive criticism did not build us, what will? Music switches a person to an aura, atmosphere and mood both physically and spiritually. Anything unmusical that comes in breaks that mood and connection, no matter how good be it the word, exhortation, prayer, prophecy and what have you.

This is my counsel. And again, it’s not a law. After all, I don’t know much:
If a person gives you 15-45 minutes of his platform then he wasn’t expecting you to do any other thing than to sing exclusively not exhorting or storytelling. He would call a pastor if he needed that. If the time is given in excess, then you can tactically infuse other properties to fill it up. Remember, I said tactically. We can’t also rule out the fact that people could be led or given dimensions of ministry. However, most of what we see in many fora today is either abuse, excess or misuse.

I hope these few guides would help:

1. If you want to talk (exhort or tell stories), tell people to take their seats and talk exclusively. Once you start singing, sing exclusively.
2. If you’re to lead people into prayers, there’s a way the music should go. I have enjoyed a few of them. Lead them into prayer songs exclusively. Don’t break regular songs with prayers and vice versa.
3. If you are to give words of prophecy, master the timing and the style of music. Don’t take high praise and break it with “the Lord says” or “there’s somebody here” while begging your backup and drummers to lower the sound so people could hear. Be “stylish” with the way you handle it. I mean, be professional. Professional thinks like their customers/audience. They ask: “If am the one in the congregation, how will I love this session to go?”

Above all, you are first a music minister before other offices be it a prophet or teacher. Sorry about that, I may be wrong. But when people see your image on a handbill, what should first come to their minds: a prophet, an exhorter or a music minister? Think about it.
