 Introduction

May I introduce you to this book with a short

story that really moved me and helped me change
my perception of life and the way I look at things;
There once was a man in my city who lived an
average life, the man had been a miner by profession
all his life and had 3 children.

One-day he set off to the market to buy some

paperboards but fortunately, while he asked the
salesman about the sizes of paperboards he had, he
stumbled upon a small dusty but rather captivating
picture frame, it looked so expensive that the man knew
within himself that there was no way he could afford
such an expensive looking frame. He, however, a few
minutes later asked its price tag and to his amazement;
it was only $5, and so he bought it on the spot.

However, the man carried it home with him

and just hanged in on the wall leaving it as dusty
as it was because to him it didn’t really never had
any much significant value because of how it was
kept and how much it was purchased at; so, the
man just left it hanging like any normal frame and
never paid attention to it ever since.

7
 The man evaluated the picture for the price he
got it at but he was wrong!

Follow me closely, as time went on, the man

started having health complications, in less than
6 months he had been in and out of the hospital 4
times. And finally, 8 months after having spent all his
money and even getting into dept, he was admitted
in the hospital. In that period, he was diagnosed
with first stage heart attacks, hypertension, cancer
of the lungs and hemorrhage. After 10 months of
comprehensive chemotherapies and other complex
medical procedures, the man eventually died.

After the funeral, as the family was trying

to pack his things, the daughter came across the
picture frame and as she was trying to remove it
from the wall it slipped off her hands and broke.
Then as she bent down to pick it up she noticed
that behind the picture frame there were some
diamond paintings.

Thereafter, she picked the broken frame,

covered the painting and took them to a diamond
company. Then the company appraised the
diamond paintings for a million dollars. Sad to the
man, he died in debt all because he never knew

8
what was behind the frame, he overlooked the
solution to all his hospital bills.

Beloved, the man overlooked the picture frame

such that he never cleaned or dusted it because
he appraised it on face value and cost value.
Dear ones, sometimes the cost does not always
determine the value of a thing. In other words, the
cost doesn’t always match with the value. The man
defined the picture on its looks but he did not see
beyond its looks.

The reason why people don’t treat you with

courtesy is because they have defined your
tomorrow based on how you are looking today but
little do they know that there is diamond on the
inside of you, little do they know that under those
dirty clothes, under that sweating and stinking
young boy David there is a much-honored king of
Israel and little do they know that under the boy in
the pit Joseph there is a Prime Minister.

That is why scripture in 2 Corinthians 4:18

says, “While we look not at the things which are
seen, but at the things which are not seen: for
the things which are seen are temporal; but the
things which are not seen are eternal”. There are

9
things people will see in your life and things that
they cannot see at all.

Jesus told his disciples in John 4:32 “I have

meat to eat that ye know not of”. In other words,
Jesus was saying I have food you are not aware of.
Beloved, in order for someone to fast, they need to
have food nobody is aware of. You can’t emerge
victorious without food people are not aware of.
As you read this book I want to remind you that
there is a gift hidden on the inside of you, there
are solutions hidden inside of you. They say when
you break an egg from the outside you end its life
but when you break it from inside its life begins.
Beloved, you are full of life though your condition
doesn’t show it. You can look rough, and hard
from outside like a pineapple but there is sweet
juice inside of you the world doesn’t know yet.

 Chapter 1

DAVID REJECTED BUT NOT

FORGOTTEN BY GOD

Today, most people are moving discouraged to

an extent that they have started questioning God’s
existence simply because of the circumstances
they find themselves in. The predicaments they
go through blinds them from seeing the promises
of God over their lives and they tend to ask
themselves, “Am I called?”, “Is God on my Side?”,
“Why always me in such situations?”

Maybe you are such a person reading this book,

the Lord put a word on my heart and I couldn’t help
holding it after it worked for me to encourage you
and let you know that God has specifically set you
apart and anointed you for impact. I know maybe
you could be going through a painful season and
it seems like nothing good can come out of you.
Don’t you know that it is through messed up,
dirty and stinking manure that health and strong
crops come out? Be reminded that the darkest
hour is always before dawn. You are called, and

11
you are anointed. Do not let the lies the enemy is
whispering to you be the bus stop to your success
Journey.

” But Sir I am aging?”

Nobody is too old for a blessing and scriptures

prove this to us. Didn’t Abraham have his blessing
in his old age? Didn’t Elizabeth have her blessing
in her old age? Age doesn’t determine the move of
God! God is never late. You are still first in line for
a miracle on His calendar. God knows that when
He moves in your life not only does he restore
what you lost, but He restores your time too.

Joel 2:25 speaking, “And I will restore to

you the years that the locust hath eaten, the
cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the
palmerworm, my great army which I sent
among you.”

In other words, he was saying I will restore the

TIME. Brothers and sisters, when God moves in
your life all your wasted years are restored.

Child of God, God can take you from your

WILDERNESS to your PROMISE LAND

12
overnight. The delay is in you changing your
mindset! Do not be deceived with God there is no
time WASTING but there is a TRAINING time.

Do not give up on God. He is working out

something in the background. Do not let what you
are going through or what you went through blind
you from seeing what God is able to do in your
life. God can still give you a child after a long
period of bareness; He can still heal after a long
period of sickness. God can still bless after long
years of struggling. Brethren, no matter how heavy
the rejection, dumping and denial was, God still
has his plans set for you. No matter the trials you
have faced, God has still anointed you.

God told Jeremiah in Jeremiah 29:11,

For I know the plans I have for you,”

declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you
and not to harm you, plans to give you hope
and a future.

Let me take you a little further and show you

one Bible character that faced rejection at a very
tender age but still held on to his faith and stood
out to be a much-honored king in his generation.

13
 Though David was anointed at a tender
age, there was need for a PROCESS for him
to get to the THRONE. There was need for a
PROCESS to his Destiny, need for a PROCESS
to his PURPOSE. Many Christians today want
to reach their destinations but they don’t want
the PROCESS of getting into the bus and been
driven to their various destinations and the devil
has destructed many from the PROCESS that’s
why a lot of dreams are dying prematurely.

You can never be a good teacher if you have

never been taught, you can never be a good
leader if you have never been led. Learn to
trust the process. Are you not aware that when
the first man Adam missed process, the devil
came through the woman, tempted him with
the fruit and he ate but, when the Devil tempted
the second man Adam, Jesus, who underwent
process. Hungry as he was, after fasting for
forty days and forty nights he did not fall trap
to the temptation because he was a processed
man, well this is a topic for another day.. Scripture
says; when God rejected a king in the Name of
Saul He started looking for who to anoint and
you will notice from the scripture that Jesse got
all the seven sons and presented them before

14
the Prophet – Samuel, but none of them was
anointed.

Prophet Samuel further asked if Jesse had any

other son apart from the ones he presented. He
replied saying there was still the youngest son,
who was in the fields watching over the sheep and
goats. Pause a bit first! The father answered and
said, “The youngest is in the bush watching over
the goats.” Really!

Here is my confusion, does it mean his father

didn’t know his name?

However, you will notice that in the fathers

reply he didn’t call David by his name but by his
circumstance. This showed me that according to
his Father it appeared as though David was not
even a possibility or a potential to the throne
because he defined him by the characteristic that
was unattractive.

Mostly, when you are set aside by God, people

will look at what you have done or what you are
doing and try to sum you up as that. Typifying that
your capability can’t exceed your current state.
They will be like, “isn’t he a son of a carpenter?

15
Oh! What is he even talking about?”. They will not
say his name but describe him by what he is going
through. Joseph, their expectation is only to find
you in the pit because that is where they left you.
People will only expect to find you where they left
you but I want to encourage you that nobody can
hide your star. No matter how dark the night can
be in that it can even influence the clouds, the sun
will finally show up. You can’t be hidden! I see
you shining in Jesus name. Are you forgetting that
you are the light of the world? A town built on a
hill cannot be hidden.

ESTHER 2:17

And he brought up Hadassah, that is,

Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she
had neither father nor mother, and the
maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai,
when her father and mother were dead, took
for his own daughter.

According to the scripture Esther’s real name

was HADASSAH, which means PERFUME but
after adoption when she became a slave her name
was later changed to ESTHER, which means
HIDDEN, but they did not know that you cannot

16
HIDE a PERFUME. Beloved, nobody can hide the
potential God has deposited in you. You have a gift
that smells like perfume in you. They can change
your name, but they cannot change your identity.
They can throw you in the bush David, define you
by the unattractiveness scent of Sheep dung on
your clothes but they can’t hide the solution God
has deposited in you for the Palace. Just be patient
Saul is about to call for you!

Child of God, what the devil cannot destroy,

he will certainly fight to destruct. Change your
perception and realize that God knew you before
you were born, He ordained and formed you
before you were born. Your existence started in
His mind. God has a plan and a purpose for you.
You are ordained for greater things and that’s the
truth, that’s the word of God for your life. Don’t
let the happenings keep you bound. Don’t let your
background keep your back on the ground. Not
every bend is an end! You are anointed to do great.

1 Samuel 16:1-23

And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long

wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have
rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill

17
thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to
Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided
me a king among his sons.
2
And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul
hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said,
Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come
to sacrifice to the LORD.
3
And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will
shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt
anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.
4
And Samuel did that which
the LORD spake, and came to Bethlehem. And
the elders of the town trembled at his coming,
and said, Comest thou peaceably?
5
And he said, Peaceably: I am come to
sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify yourselves,
and come with me to the sacrifice. And he
sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them
to the sacrifice.
6
And it came to pass, when they were
come, that he looked on Eliab, and said,
Surely the LORD’s anointed is before him.

18
 7
But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look
not on his countenance, or on the height of
his stature; because I have refused him: for
the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man
looketh on the outward appearance, but
the LORD looketh on the heart.
8
Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made
him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither
hath the LORD chosen this.
9
Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by.
And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.
10
Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to
pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto
Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.
11
And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all
thy children? And he said, There remaineth
yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the
sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send
and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he
come hither.
12
And he sent, and brought him in. Now
he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful

19
countenance, and goodly to look to. And
the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
13
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and
anointed him in the midst of his brethren:
and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David
from that day forward. So Samuel rose up,
and went to Ramah.
14
But the Spirit of the LORD departed from
Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled
him.
15
And Saul’s servants said unto him,
Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth
thee.
16
Let our lord now command thy servants,
which are before thee, to seek out a man, who
is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall
come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is
upon thee, that he shall play with his hand,
and thou shalt be well.
17
And Saul said unto his servants, Provide
me now a man that can play well, and bring
him to me.

20
 18
Then answered one of the servants, and
said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the
Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and
a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and
prudent in matters, and a comely person, and
the LORD is with him.
19
Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto
Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which
is with the sheep.
20
And Jesse took an ass laden with bread,
and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them
by David his son unto Saul.
21
And David came to Saul, and stood
before him: and he loved him greatly; and he
became his armourbearer.
22
And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David,
I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found
favour in my sight.
23
And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from
God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and
played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and
was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

21
 This is a story of a man called Saul, he was
anointed as king, but he wasn’t God’s choice. Saul was
chosen by the people and ruled according to his will
and not God’s will, so God lifted off his crown from
his head and anointed the head of David to be the next
king. What shocked me is that Saul was still on the
throne while the crown was gotten off his head. The
revelation here is this, it is not the physical crown that
was removed from his head, but it is the anointing that
was removed from his life. After understanding this,
I realized that one can still be in leadership without
God’s anointing on his head. That you call yourself
Prophet, Apostle or whatever title it may be doesn’t
mean there is that anointing of the title on your head.

It is shocking that many believers today are in

places God did not put them in, they have titles God
did not give to them, but rather they chose and gave
themselves. Take this truth from me, if your position
is not a God given one then it’s not obligated to keep
you. The Israelites had an open door to Egypt but
they suffered for 430 years. Notice, it was an open
door but it a door of captivity. The door never kept
them but suffered them.

From 1 Samuel 10:1, we noticed that Saul

was anointed out of a flask, a man-made cup, but

22
when time to anoint David came God insisted that
David should be anointed out of a horn and the
reason why God asked Prophet Samuel to do that
was simply because a flask is a man-made object
showing us that Saul was a man-made King, with
time when Samuel went crying before the Lord
on the loss of the King, God told him that He had
already chosen Himself a king after his own heart
and all Prophet Samuel needed to do was to pick
up a horn and go and anoint him.

God instructed Samuel the prophet to put the

Oil in a horn, a horn that was removed from a live
animal, a real animal because he was choosing
a real king, a genuine king, a right man. When
Samuel reached Jesse’s house, he found his first
son Eliab, when he started pouring the oil, it could
not flow simply because God could not allow the
oil to flow on his bad choice. He would allow you
to choose it, but He won’t allow his oil to flow
on it. Furthermore, David complained to Jesse,
“I have tried it on all your sons, but the oil still
cannot flow, I know I am in the right place with the
right people. Do you still have another child? Jesse
probably answered and said, I have one left, he is
in the bush tending sheep, he smells sheep dung
and I don’t think he is the one.”

23
God says in Isaiah 55:8

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

neither are your ways my ways”.

God will make you His choice when everyone

has written you off.

David was overlooked, undervalued and

rejected by men but interestingly, the same stone
the builders rejected became the chief of the corner.
God chooses what men reject to prove to them that
what they consider as trash is the hiding place of
His treasure. Sometimes God puts treasure in trash
and He doesn’t look at any CV for Him to bless
you. He doesn’t consult anyone for Him to call
you a miracle. That is the awesomeness of God.
While they want to stone you with your humble
background, His grace will come and pardon you
and give you a future.

Upon knowing about the boy in the bush,

Samuel asked Jesse to send for David and he was
anointed. But notice a few things that happened
before anointing David. The father and his brothers
could not seat down minus his appearance, they
were all standing awaiting his arrival. Beloved,

24
you only stand when receiving a guest. God is
about to make you a guest before your very own
enemies, work will never start until they employ
you. Secondly, Samuel could not crown anyone
until David appeared, because no one assumes the
throne except the king.

There is a blessing with your name on it, the

dirtiness of your clothes brother David has nothing
to do with it. Maybe as you are reading you might
have gone through a lot of persecutions, hurt and
dumping. Beloved, this book has come to lift you
up and give you hope. You are anointed for exploits.
Always encourage yourself this way, the size of
your challenges is directly proportional to the size
of your breakthrough. The size of a trap you can
use to catch an elephant is not the same size as a
trap you can use to catch an antelope. Trap sizes
differ with the size of the animal to be caught. The
reason why you are going through many stuff is
simply because your destiny is too big for small
tests. Mind you, a university certificate exam is not
as easy as a general certificate exam. The size of
the destiny inside you will attract the same size of
challenges. Moreover, dogs give birth every year.
It takes an elephant 2 years to give birth because
big babies cannot be born in few weeks.

25
 GOD is working on you. Please, don’t rush the
timings of God to escape loneliness. Don’t rush
the process of GOD to escape the mundane. Don’t
rush the development of GOD because you see
someone else in what looks like success to you.
Listen, actual success is different from perceived
success.

Because actual success is not defined by

numbers. It is not defined by achievement. It is not
defined by external validation of masses. Success
for you is trapped in obeying the voice of GOD.
And it is in the BUSH, the place where you are
simultaneously fruitless, forgotten, and surrounded
by some of your most intimate failures, that GOD
allows your OIL to multiply.

Your failure doesn’t disqualify you from being

used by GOD. Beloved, external characteristics don’t
make a KING. It is the heart of an individual that
makes him a true leader worth following. God is not
looking for a soldier he is looking for a Shepherd.

You can’t experience resurrection if you have

never experienced death. Beloved, blows of life
will come; tribulations and trials will also come
but be of good cheer you are guaranteed victory.

26
Don’t be deceived that as a Christian you will not
face tribulations, the truth is they will come. But
you have to sit in the library of life and prepare
for them. Boxers always cover their faces because
they know blows are coming.

The evidence of your anointing is based on the

scars of your body. A scar serves as a sign that what
used to hurt you, doesn’t hurt you anymore. You
can’t pursue your purpose without experiencing
pain because God validates your strength through
pain. He allows you to hurt or feel pain to the level
he wants you to be blessed because he cannot
give you a KINGDOM without first giving you
a GOLIATH. In this season, God will bring you
before Goliath to expose the David in you.

Moreover, you are only immune to

chickenpox after having it. Beloved, there
is no RESURRECTION (purpose) without
CRUCIFICATION (pain) like I have already
stated from the beginning.

What you are going through is not the devil

trying to break you, but it is God wanting to
APPROVE you. If you are a STAR expect SCARS
because your SCARS tell your story.

27
 If you are anointed, God will first train you
before you get to the platform and this is well
explained in the life of David. Usually when God
has anointed you, He doesn’t want to display your
gift when it is still in the seed form. Many want
to show and display what God has put inside of
them before He announces them, and I think this is
one of the heaviest frustrations and early exposure
problem many are facing today because God will
intentionally pass you through heavy stuff in order
to groom you in character and strength thereby
confusing your enemies to doubt if really you are
called.

He will privately work on you behind the Bush

like David. God will isolate you from the public
and develop you privately thereby, safeguarding
your soul because the devil’s easiest way to defeat
greatness is at infancy stage. Herod was chasing
Jesus while he was a baby, Moses was being fought
while he was a baby too. It is easier to cut a tree
while it is young, than when it has grown bigger.
The isolation you are experiencing is God’s way
of wanting to commune with you. Get this from
me, it is only Prayer that will sustain you where
temptation wants to use you. Moreover, it is only
they that dwell in the secret place of the Most-

28
High that abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Scripture is particular on the importance of the

secret place because eternal things and abiding
things are only caught in the secret place and don’t
mistake isolation for a breakdown or rejection, for
it is God’s way of developing who He wants you
to be. David never complained, probably it used to
hurt him the fact that he was the youngest child,
tending the sheep and goats while all his elder
brothers were busy left behind in the house. In
every house set up, attention and care in family
is mostly shown to the youngest but for David it
was another story. With this, I came to realize that
gifted people go through crazy stuff.

Imagine immediately after been anointed King,

David was sent straight away back into the Bush
instead of assuming the throne. How would you feel
being anointed as king and the next thing you are
sent back to the Bush as a goat herder? God can
anoint you and still send you to a place that does
not look like where you are going to be. Moreover,
God never leaves to leave something undone before
he does a new thing in your life. You must finish the
mission. Whom did you leave the sheep and goats
with before enthronement David? (1Sam 17:20)

29
 Beloved, expectation and experience do not
always match but always learn to obey. Sometimes
it won’t make sense but all the same trust the Lord.
Solomon encourages and says in Proverbs 3:5,

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean

not on your own understanding.

In all this I came to understand that God was

developing the qualities and characteristics David
needed to become a fully matured king of Israel
because you cannot rightfully assume the throne
if you have never passed through the school of
thorns. Every star should at some point expect
scars. Show me any Bible character who made
impact in their calling and I will show you a person
who went through thick and thin.

God uses our adversities as His university.

One writer once said, “adversity is God’s
university.” Like I have already said you can’t
assume the throne without passing through the
class of thorns. For Jesus to win the whole world,
the cross was his school of thorns. Beloved, God
knew that he would end up on the cross; God
knew that he would end up with wood, so He
had to take Him to a carpenter to strengthen His

30
body with wood, with nails etc. probably there
were days he could hit Himself with nails while
helping his father. All that was Gods way of
preparing Him to the cross. Don’t you wonder
why He was not terrified by the storms on the
sea when everyone else feared greatly? Jesus
knew his end was the Cross. Moreover, for
David to assume the throne as a much-honored
king of Israel the Bush was his school of thorns.
What you are going through is just a school to
your greatness. Yes, it is hurting, but wait a little
longer you are gaining.

Just be patient, stop taking yourself to platforms

before God is done working on you. Half-baked
scones can make people sick. Keep learning!
David didn’t take himself to the platform because
he understood that you will always overpay to
get into a room that you weren’t invited in. He
never asked for any connections to the king’s
palace whatsoever, he didn’t file any nomination
to be king. He was content with the last thing God
assigned him to do and was above all content with
the time he spent in the presence of God learning
and shortly after, they sent for him and ordained
him king. David didn’t go about telling everybody
because he was privately called.

31
 Child of God, that people don’t know your
title, gift etc. doesn’t mean you are not called. You
are called by God! Stop revealing who you are to
everyone. Somebody might speak death to what
God has called to live. Learn to move in silence
and walk with God. When you walk with God
not only will He walk with you, but He will also
work with you. David was a man after Gods heart
because he was always with God.

 Chapter 2

DAVID KILLS GOLIATH

1 SAMUEL 17:1-58

Now the Philistines gathered their

armies together to battle, and were gathered
at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah; they
encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in
Ephes Dammim. 2 And Saul and the men
of Israel were gathered together, and they
encamped in the Valley of Elah, and drew up
in battle array against the Philistines. 3 The
Philistines stood on a mountain on one side,
and Israel stood on a mountain on the other
side, with a valley between them.
4
And a champion went out from the
camp of the Philistines, named Goliath,
from Gath, whose height was six cubits and
a span. 5 He had a bronze helmet on his head,
and he was [a]armed with a coat of mail, and
the weight of the coat was five thousand
shekels of bronze. 6 And he hadbronze

33
armor on his legs and a bronze javelin
between his shoulders. 7 Now the staff of his
spear was like a weaver’s beam, and his iron
spearhead weighed six hundred shekels; and
a shield-bearer went before him. 8 Then he
stood and cried out to the armies of Israel,
and said to them, “Why have you come out
to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine,
and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man
for yourselves, and let him come down to
me. 9 If he is able to fight with me and kill
me, then we will be your servants. But if I
prevail against him and kill him, then you
shall be our servants and serve us.” 10 And
the Philistine said, “I defy the armies of
Israel this day; give me a man, that we may
fight together.” 11 When Saul and all Israel
heard these words of the Philistine, they were
dismayed and greatly afraid.
12
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite
of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse,
and who had eight sons. And the man was old,
advanced in years, in the days of Saul. 13 The
three oldest sons of Jesse had gone to follow
Saul to the battle. The names of his three
sons who went to the battle were Eliab the

34
firstborn, next to him Abinadab, and the third
Shammah. 14 David was the youngest. And
the three oldest followed Saul. 15 But David
occasionally went and returned from Saul to
feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
16
And the Philistine drew near and
presented himself forty days, morning and
evening.
17
Then Jesse said to his son David, “Take
now for your brothers an ephah of this
dried grain and these ten loaves, and run to
your brothers at the camp. 18 And carry these
ten cheeses to the captain of theirthousand,
and see how your brothers fare, and bring
back news of them.” 19 Now Saul and they
and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of
Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20
So David rose early in the morning,
left the sheep with a keeper, and took the
things and went as Jesse had commanded
him. And he came to the camp as the army
was going out to the fight and shouting for
the battle. 21 For Israel and the Philistines
had drawn up in battle array, army against

35
army. 22 And David left his supplies in the
hand of the supply keeper, ran to the army,
and came and greeted his brothers. 23 Then as
he talked with them, there was the champion,
the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name,
coming up from the armies of the Philistines;
and he spoke according to the same words.
So David heard them. 24 And all the men of
Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him
and were dreadfully afraid. 25 So the men of
Israel said, “Have you seen this man who
has come up? Surely he has come up to defy
Israel; and it shall be that the man who kills
him the king will enrich with great riches, will
give him his daughter, and give his father’s
house exemption from taxesin Israel.”
26
Then David spoke to the men who
stood by him, saying, “What shall be done
for the man who kills this Philistine and
takes away the reproach from Israel? For
who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he
should defy the armies of the living God?”
27
And the people answered him in this
manner, saying, “So shall it be done for the
man who kills him.”

36
 28
Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when
he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was
aroused against David, and he said, “Why did
you come down here? And with whom have you
left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know
your pride and the insolence of your heart, for
you have come down to see the battle.”
29
And David said, “What have I done
now? Is[b] there not a cause?” 30 Then he
turned from him toward another and said the
same thing; and these people answered him
as the first ones did.
31
Now when the words which David spoke
were heard, they reported them to Saul; and he
sent for him. 32 Then David said to Saul, “Let
no man’s heart fail because of him; your
servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”
33
And Saul said to David, “You are not
able to go against this Philistine to fight with
him; for you are a youth, and he a man of
war from his youth.”
34
But David said to Saul, “Your servant
used to keep his father’s sheep, and when

37
a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out
of the flock, 35 I went out after it and struck
it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth;
and when it arose against me, I caught it by
its beard, and struck and killed it. 36 Your
servant has killed both lion and bear; and
this uncircumcised Philistine will be like
one of them, seeing he has defied the armies
of the living God.” 37 Moreover David
said, “The LORD, who delivered me from
the paw of the lion and from the paw of the
bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this
Philistine.”

And Saul said to David, “Go, and

the LORD be with you!”
38
So Saul clothed David with his [c]armor,
and he put a bronze helmet on his head; he
also clothed him with a coat of mail. 39 David
fastened his sword to his armor and tried to
walk, for he had not tested them. And David
said to Saul, “I cannot walk with these, for I
have not tested them.” So David took them off.
40
Then he took his staff in his hand; and
he chose for himself five smooth stones from

38
the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s
bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling
was in his hand. And he drew near to the
Philistine. 41 So the Philistine came, and
began drawing near to David, and the man
who bore the shield went before him. 42 And
when the Philistine looked about and saw
David, he disdained[d] him; for he was only a
youth, ruddy and good-looking. 43 So the
Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that
you come to me with sticks?” And the
Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 And
the Philistine said to David, “Come to me,
and I will give your flesh to the birds of the
air and the beasts of the field!”
45
Then David said to the Philistine, “You
come to me with a sword, with a spear, and
with a javelin. But I come to you in the name
of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies
of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day
the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and
I will strike you and take your head from
you. And this day I will give the carcasses
of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of
the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that
all the earth may know that there is a God

39
in Israel. 47 Then all this assembly shall know
that the LORD does not save with sword and
spear; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He
will give you into our hands.”
48
So it was, when the Philistine arose and
came and drew near to meet David, that David
hurried and ran toward the army to meet the
Philistine. 49 Then David put his hand in his
bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and
struck the Philistine in his forehead, so
that the stone sank into his forehead, and
he fell on his face to the earth. 50 So David
prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and
a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed
him. But there was no sword in the hand
of David. 51 Therefore David ran and stood
over the Philistine, took his sword and drew
it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off
his head with it.

And when the Philistines saw that

their champion was dead, they fled. 52 Now
the men of Israel and Judah arose and
shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far
as the entrance of [e]the valley and to the
gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the

40
Philistines fell along the road to Shaaraim,
even as far as Gath and Ekron. 53 Then the
children of Israel returned from chasing
the Philistines, and they plundered their
tents. 54 And David took the head of the
Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but
he put his armor in his tent.
55
When Saul saw David going out
against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the
commander of the army, “Abner, whose
son is this youth?”

And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O

king, I do not know.”
56
So the king said, “Inquire whose son
this young man is.”
57
Then, as David returned from the
slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him
and brought him before Saul with the head
of the Philistine in his hand. 58 And Saul said
to him, “Whose son are you, young man?”

So David answered, “I am the son of your

servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”

41
 The chapter above explains how David
emerged victorious after bringing down Goliath,
the man who tormented Israel for many years.
Goliath was described as a Giant who was so
experienced in battles. His height was six cubits
and a span. He had a bronze helmet on his head
and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing
five thousand shekels; on his legs, he wore bronze
greaves, and a bronze javelin was slung on his
back. His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod, and
its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. His
shield bearer went ahead of him.

However, there appeared a young boy from the

bush who was tending his father’s sheep and the
goats, David by name who brought liberation to
Israel after killing the mighty Goliath. David was
the youngest and eighth son of Jesse who was in
some cases overlooked and often ignored but God
had a strategy over his life.

I have come to understand that God often

times uses people that others overlook the most to
showcase His Glory and while some are fighting
for the stage, demanding to be recognized. What
they do not know is that the people they are running
past are the same people God is going to use, it is

42
just a matter of time because God has to prepare
one for what is coming next in one’s life.

God has to prepare you for responsibility before

you have anything to do. Though sometimes God
will put a vision in your spirit that does not even
fit your current situation or circumstance to show
you that where you are, is not where you will be
tomorrow. As so do not let the bush hold you, don’t
let the wilderness hold you. You serve a moving
God; He will move you because He is moving.

God will not relax in your circumstances He

will pull you out. Like the children of Israel,
sometimes you will find yourself in the wilderness
where you have to live by the tents and cannot live
in built houses, the reason Israel lived in tents was
because they knew that their present circumstances
wouldn’t last. God does not want you to build
a house where you have to build a tent because
your present circumstance will not last despite the
discomfort it brings.

David, just like any other boy had dreams and

ambitions in his life. He was chosen, selected and
handpicked by God. God called him a man after
his own heart though on the other hand, David

43
was a bushy boy always alone up in the mountains
praising and dancing for God all by himself. You
will agree with me that usually gifted people are
always strange. They never fit in with other people
and there is always something that stands out on
them. You can’t be gifted and fit in with everyone
around you. Beloved, people don’t follow ordinary
they only follow extraordinary. You are extraordinary
that is why you can’t fit in with everybody. That they
leave you doesn’t mean you are too bad for them, but
simply because they can’t adjust to your values.

People leave shops not because they don’t like

the products but sometimes it’s simply because
they cannot afford them. Their money is not
enough to fit the prices. In a like manner, you will
have people who will leave your life; you will
have people who will not like you no matter what
you do. You dress well they will not like you, you
graduate from university they will not like you,
you get married they will not like you, you change
your car they will not like you, what you don’t
understand is that God has set you aside so that he
can use you in a unique way.

As already stated David was the youngest,

the eighth son of Jesse. He was so gifted in all

44
aspects of his personality. He was gifted that he
could write poetry, write music and could make
instruments. Besides this, David was a soft and
gentle hearted man who was busy praising and
dancing for the Lord up the hill in the bush. He
was the same boy that went into the philistinian
camp and killed a hundred philistines and above
all, slew their mighty Man, Goliath.

David was a mighty man in battle as he was a

creative man in writing music. He was a master
of all hands. David was powerful, he was so
intelligent that when they tried to kill him, he went
and slept in the caves in hiding. He was such a
creative leader that he picked less standard men;
broken, bruised all types in descriptions and made
an army that was invisible but created impact. You
only know you are a great leader if you can work
with substandard equipment and still be effective,
because anybody can lead a bunch of gifted people,
but it takes a gifted and an anointed folk to get less
than enough and use it till it becomes more than
enough.

David was anointed though he never

knew it. He little realized that he had a king’s
anointing on his head a kid as he was. In other

45
words, David was more anointed in his spirit
than he was anointed in his circumstances. His
circumstances were underdeveloped but his
anointing was progressive. Beloved, sometimes
God will give you an anointing that does not
fit your circumstances as I earlier said and this
will be one of the reasons you will attract many
haters and people who will be jealous of you.
They will barely understand how God would give
you such a gift because in their eyes they will
look at nothing in you but a kid. They will be so
spiritually blinded that they will not see a King
inside of a Kid.

Greatness is always hidden in strange places.

No one sees a tree in a seed. No one saw a
mighty king in a little baby Jesus that was born
in the meager. No one saw a great leader in an
always-stammering little boy Moses, nobody
anticipated there would come a general out of
a rejected boy, Jephthah. You are gifted that
is what people don’t understand and your gift
is just screaming for an opportunity/platform
to come out. I said you are a popcorn, though
in hot oil but soon to pop out from that brown
hard state to something edible and desirable by
everyone. Do not be too quick to pop out of the

46
pot of hot oil you will land yourself in fire and
that will be the end of your destiny

Don’t be worried, don’t be intimidated. God

inspired a word in my spirit and told me to tell
you that He has your back irrespective of the
happenings!!

You might have been in the Bush like David,

for so long now and you are asking yourself if
truly God has called you. You might even have
gone to many Bible Schools, done all you can to
build your gift behind the platform and now you
feel like giving up because it does not look like
the right THING you were building.

I thank God this book is in your hands.

If at all that THING you invested in your

monies and your time doesn’t look like the
THING, the Lord told me to tell you that it
is that same THING that will lead you to the
THING because that THING is the part of the
process to your DESIRED THING and you will
soon thank God because you went through what
you went through to be where you are. Believe
me if you had not gone through what you went

47
through you would not have stepped into what
you have today.

From the text we noticed that David was sent

to take lunch to his brethren, he was given a bag
full of food and was asked by his father to go
where the military sat ahead for the battle with the
philistinian armies. Here David was functioning as
a messenger despite the fact that he was a King in
waiting. Now supposing David would have said I
am too anointed for the triviality of such kind of
a job, I am too gifted to be asked to do something
ordinary, he would not have heard about the
opportunity to get to the battlefield and fight
with the Giant. Do not despise the days of small
beginning. It does not matter where you start, it
matters where you finish.

In order for God to move you to the place you

want to be, you have to be humble. Opportunities
are wrapped in humility and it is only the humble
that God lifts up. David speaking in one of the
Psalms, “wherever you will send me I will go
despite whatever state I will be in.”

Furthermore, God moved David from the bush

with goat dung on his toes, sheep hay all over his

48
hair. God moved him out of his comfort zone and
sent him down the military base where his first
job wasn’t commander, was not king of Israel,
wasn’t soldier among the troops. Surprisingly, his
first job was a “Go and take it”. God did not look
at what he would use to bless David. Your status
has nothing to do with whether God will bless you
or not. God can use anything to take you to your
place of Destiny but it is all wrapped up in your
obedience and humility.

After getting down where the Soldiers were,

David overheard a conversation, where people
discussed saying they were looking for someone
who could fight and destroy Goliath. God put
David in a place where he could hear a higher-level
conversation. Sometimes God will bring you in an
environment with a higher-level conversation than
your situation because if you have always been
where you have always been, you will always have
what you have always had. God will shift you to
another level so that you can hear what they are
saying from another level. Of course, you will
experience a challenge because people will hate
you when you leave them for another level. With
them, as long as they are with you on the same
level they will be okay with you.

49
 Back to our topic, scripture says the king was
looking for someone to fight and destroy Goliath
but little did he know he was looking for David.
Child of God, somebody is looking for you but
they hardly know it is you they are looking for and
God is about to reveal your name to them while
you are doing something ordinary. God is about to
shift things in your life. Is it interesting that on the
new level shift David caught a glimpse of what the
king was looking for? The king made a promise to
Israel saying whosoever killed Goliath would be
given three things.

Firstly, the King promised and said whosoever

killed Goliath would be made wealthy. Here, it
was as if God was speaking to David to say, “The
way I have saved your life in the bush is the same
way I will save your entire financial life through
the King. I did not bring you out of the bush to
leave you stranded and broke. I will restore your
wealth because I heard your cries in the bush.
Your prayers were all heard and I am using this
opportunity to change your life for good.”

Secondly, the King promised and said

whosoever killed the Giant would marry the
Princess. David was considered as a nobody, a

50
classless young boy always dirty in the bush but
when God showed up in his life, not only did
he restore his finances, but he also changed his
position and his identity. God changed how people
perceived him from a nobody to a somebody. God
took him from shepherd’s clothes to garments of
a prince he never imagined. The king’s call, gave
David an opportunity that brought a quick change
and quick shift in his life!

As you are reading this book right now, there is

an anointing coming all over you to bring a quick
shift. “For it is not by might, nor by power, but by
my Spirit,” says the LORD of hosts.

Thirdly, the King promised that the family of a

man who kills the giant would no longer pay taxes.
David, when God shows up in your life anything
that concerns you is affected by the oil. Anything
that is attached to you experiences deliverance
as the cup runs over. You do not expect the oil to
flow from the head of Aaron and not affect the
shoulders, the neck and other parts of his body.

David courageously exclaimed and asked,

“Who is this uncircumcised philistine that he
should defile the armies of the Lord?” There arose

51
a great spirit in David that stood up and confronted
the giant. At first, I thought David was only
courageous but later I came to realize that it was
not only courage that made him fight there was a
reward on the other side of the battle. David stood
up and challenged everyone.

In life, never move because the crowd is

moving. Sometimes you have to be a Peter, though
nobody wants to step out of his or her boat just
step out because your life is not dependent on
the crowds. Of course, they will fight you and
mistake your courage for pride but be bold in your
decision. Life is taking bold decisions because
however beautiful, handsome and pretty you were
born, looking like your parent’s DNA, you will die
looking like your decisions. Noah made a decision
to build an Ark and it looked foolish to everyone
until the day it started raining. Beloved, your
decision is your power.

David made a decision to fight the giant;

his brother stood up and rebuked him saying
he had too much pride. “How on earth would a
little 17-year-old boy fight such a giant?” Eliab
exclaimed in anger. In life, no one will believe
in you except you believe in yourself. It is easy

52
to judge someone’s capabilities when you do not
know their warfare in secret. People will always
judge the mantle on you and unqualify you for
the battle but you have to believe in yourself.
Sometimes, Quantity is not quality. Sometimes,
your size can be small but your prize can be
bigger. Being handicapped in one area does not
have to cancel the harvest in another area. Don’t
allow the dead part of you speak to the living part
of you. You need to thank God for he overlooks
conditions and remembers covenant

Flowers can smell better than cabbage but it

doesn’t mean flowers can make better soup than
cabbage. You have a unique strength in you.
Samson used his hands to kill the lion but David
used a stone to bring Goliath down. God has put
strength in you to bring your Giant down.

Notice, scripture in 1 Samuel 17:38-39 says,

Saul clothed David with his armor, and he put
a bronze helmet on his head; he also clothed
him with a coat of mail. David fastened his
sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he
had not tested them. Moreover, David said to
Saul, “I cannot walk with these, for I have not
tested them.”

53
 David believed in himself, he believed in his
capabilities, he believed in his prayer points, he
believed in his strategies. He never wanted to walk
in somebody’s shoes or garment because he knew
they wouldn’t fit him he had his own size; he never
wanted to mimic his king’s way of doing things.

Be very careful about trying to operate

in somebody else’s anointing. When you use
borrowed oil, you get demons that don’t belong to
you. Run in your lane before life disqualifies you.

In the same way putting your cell phone on

“Airplane Mode” doesn’t turn it into an airplane,
putting on a robe or a collar doesn’t make you
anointed.

David knew and he resorted in his mind that

he would go for the battle just as he was. “They
can talk about me for all I care, they can say all
they want, but I am going. It doesn’t matter what
it costs me, my mind is already made up.” David
encouraged himself.

Beloved, do not lose your voice just because

a few people do not like what you are saying.
Simply find your audience. Sometimes staying

54
with animals is better than staying with people who
do not believe in you and what you do. Faithless
people cannot understand the language you
understand. Can a German only speaking person
communicate with an English only speaking
person? Obviously, not! David had a language he
developed in the secret place with the Holy Spirit
that nobody understood. You have a language child
of God that nobody can hear but only you and the
Holy Spirit in you; he convicts you alone and not
the crowd. Why then are you looking for man’s
validation?

Hear this, Goliath was not David’s Problem,

he was his Promise but David’s Problem was Saul
because he spent many years fighting Saul. Moreover,
that thing you kill easily is not your problem. Isn’t
it amazing that where thousands took a step back
because they saw GOLIATH as an OBSTACLE,
David took a step forward because he saw GOLIATH
as an OPPORTUNITY? God used a Giant as a portal
of entry to David’s next level in life. God had a gate
in the spirit that David could not find in the bush. He
had been praising, praying and fasting in the bush but
he couldn’t find it but little did he know that the gate
to his next level was wrapped up in the challenge he
was faced with which was Goliath.

55
 You can be praying and fasting, dancing and
praising God on the mountain like David and even
certain that God has something for you but no
matter how hard you dance and pray, you cannot
find the gate to your next dimension if you don’t
confront your giant.

I always say OBSTACLES and

OPPORTUNITIES are almost the same; it all
depends on who is on your SIDE.

If God be for us, who can be against us?

I am glad you grabbed this book and I prophesy

by the mandate of heaven that God is about to
show you a door that will launch you into your
breakthrough and get you out of that mess.

Can I suggest to you brethren that wherever

the giant is, the giant is there as a sign that you
are at the gate to your next level. That giant is not
there to kill you but it is there so that you can kill
it and as soon as you kill it the Lord will open up
the windows of heaven and pour a blessing you
will have no room enough to receive. One can ask
to know what really this giant is, well in my own
simple definition a giant is anything that blocks

56
your way to your next level in life. For David,
Goliath was his giant, for somebody else financial
lack can be a giant. While for another lack of
good opportunities can be a giant and it is until
you confront your giant that you can get to the
next level of your life. Beloved, the giant is at the
gate! Where there are bees there is certainly honey.
There is opportunity in obstacles. You are at the
gate just go ahead and confront your giant.

From the above text, we noticed that David

used a sling and a stone to bring down the giant.
Beloved, God is never going to move on what you
do not have, as so you have to use what you have
in your hands to get what you want. David used
the same sling he had being using all his past to kill
what he faced in his future. Well, the sling never
looked that much of a weapon that could bring the
giant down, but beloved, little is much when God
is in it.

Stop complaining that $100 in your hands is

not enough capital to start that business, you may
be complaining if at all from that SIDO business
something profitable may come out. Are you not
aware that it was just a small bottle of oil in the
house of the widow that settled her outstanding

57
debt? God will never move out of your reach,
what do you have in your hands Moses? Child of
God probably what you have does not look like it,
I want to encourage you that with the involvement
of God it will become it. I want to tell you that the
five loaves and the two fish will become it. You
serve a God that turns water into wine.

Doesn’t it shock you that according to science,

a chemical has to be added to water for it to turn
into wine but, at the wedding of Cana Jesus turned
the water into wine without the involvement of
any chemical. Beloved, when the hand of God is
in it everything is possible. God wants to perform
a miracle with the only thing you are left with.
After God had rejected Saul as king Samuel wept.
Little did Samuel know that God had rejected
him because he had no use for him. Later God
found himself a last man, the only one left after
everyone had been rejected, a number eight. David
was made a king though he had never been in a
kingdom before. He had no experience but God
raised him because he was the only one LEFT.

Notice, after Jesus had finished preaching to

the multitude he got on the ship and crossed to the
other side. Scripture says others were still thirsty

58
so they followed him. You will again notice that
Jesus went by ship and People went by foot, but
the People arrived earlier than he did. The people
had demand hence, supply was inevitable. Beloved
it is only they that are sick that need a physician. If
you are full why should I feed you?

The disciples fed the people with the five loaves

and the two fish that were the only things left in the
bag of a little boy. What are you left with for God
to use in your hands? After reading this scripture I
sat quietly for 20 minutes and this is what the Lord
dropped in my spirit. The people moved by foot
using land where we get wheat which is used to
make BREAD while Jesus went by sea where we
get FISH. In other words, the journey Jesus took
was showing us the Fish in the bag whereas the
journey the people took was the signification of
the Bread. Beloved, with this insight I realized that
the entire Journey was wrapped up in the bag. It
doesn’t matter how scarce the food was, anybody
that took part in that journey was guaranteed of
his/her answer. It was all about what was left in
the bag.

After strictly analyzing this text for a long time

now, I came to realize that David did not kill Goliath

59
with a slingshot. Scripture says he winded up the
stone, threw it at the giant, and after knocking him
down David ran and stood over him. He grabbed
the Philistine’s sword and pulled it from its sheath.
Having brought down Goliath, David cut off his
head with his sword. Wow, this is so amazing. In
this season, God is going to let you use the same
weapon the giant wanted to use against you.

Are you not aware that the same TREE that got
man into trouble in the book of Genesis is the same
TREE as a CROSS God used to bring man out of
the trouble?

Well, the battle between David and Goliath

was prophesy fulfilled from Genesis after God
cursed the serpent. Scripture says after man ate
from the tree of life following the temptation from
the serpent, God cursed the serpent and said,

Genesis 3:14-15

“Because you have done this, Cursed are

you above all livestock, and every beast of
the field! On your belly will you go, and
dust you will eat, all the days of your life. In
addition to this, I will put enmity between

60
you and the woman, and between your seed
and her seed. He will crush your head, and
you will strike his heel.”

In this text, the seed of the woman God was

talking about was Jesus through Mary. Jesus
crushed the head of the serpent when he was
crucified at Golgotha. Now watch this, After
David killed Goliath he picked his head and took
it to Jerusalem, but he put Goliath’s weapons in
his own tent. David took Goliath’s weapons in his
own tent as a symbol of testimony. In the same
manner, after Jesus had multiplied the bread, the
disciples fed the multitude, packed the remaining
baskets they and left with them (Mark 14:20).

Many people say they packed the remaining so

as not to waste, it can be that way also but the Holy
Spirit inspired me with a word in deep meditation
and made me understand the power of previous
testimony through that portion. By them carrying
the baskets that remained, they were testifying
to say no matter what they experienced on their
journey, the God that multiplied the fish and the
loaves would be the same God that would deliver
them. There is power in previous testimony. David
could not fight minus testifying. He said to king

61
Saul, that the God who helped him defeat the bear
and the lion would be the same God who would
deliver him out of the hands of the giant he was
faced with.

Not only did David put Goliath’s weapons in his

own tent, he also buried his HEAD in Jerusalem in
a place called GOLGOTHA meaning “a place of
Skull”. Isn’t it amazing beloved to note that Jesus
was crucified at the same place and when he was
getting crucified not elsewhere but Golgotha his
legs were above the ground proving what God said
in Genesis that the seed of a woman (Jesus) would
bruise the HEAD of the serpent (the enemy). You
will then agree with me that when Jesus was being
crucified he was crushing the head of the serpent.
His legs were above the ground where Goliaths
head was buried. Beloved, the devil is under your
feet, he is defeated and every time you walk you
are crushing his head because of Christ in you.

I came to realize that David caught this in the

spirit that is why before picking the stone to slap
goliath he involved the God who crushes serpents
by saying, “you come to me with all your weapons,
but I come to you in the name of Jesus.” David
shifted the battle from the realm of men to the

62
realm of the spirit. He further picked five stones;
beloved five is the number of GRACE meaning it
is no longer David who was in the RACE but G a
letter for God was in the race.

At some point in my life, I had a rock in my

hands but still could not bring my Goliath like
situations down. I knew I had a talent in my hands,
but I could never look at it and feel confident in
it. Until I met a man, until I met a prophet who
unveiled what was in me just like what happened
to David upon meeting Prophet Samuel. Little did
I know that it was not about what I had in my hands
but what I had in my heart. Many people if not all
today are so gifted, talented and learned but very
few are causing impact. The reason is simple;
they have the gifts in their hands, they have the
talents in their hands but they do not have anything
in their hearts.

Just like Eliab, the elder brother of David who

had all the qualifications in his hands but God saw
nothing in his heart. God knew you cannot put a
crown on a clown and expect a King.

Beloved, when I released the passion and zeal

I had in my heart to work for God that was when

63
he used what was in my hands. That is the art of
worship. Nothing moves God than your heart.
Beloved, in the season of your training people will
never acknowledge and recognize you. However,
God knows if you can be acknowledged and still be
ignored at the same time he can trust you with what
he is about to release in your life. Worship opens
your eyes to see which stone you have to pick from
the five to defeat your challenges. When you truly
worship God, you do not get to try every business
your eyes open just for a right one. Beloved, if you
are in school it is not everything you need to study,
God will direct you to study right material. You
will gain the sight for the right stone only.

Yes! That stone that killed Goliath.

God is looking for men with a heart, he is

looking for shepherds because he knows if your
heart is devoted to animals how much more his
children?

 Chapter 3

YOU HAVE A PURPOSE

I will start this chapter by posing this question,

imagine you had a million dollars and went to
another planet that has no use for dollars, would
your dollars be meaningful and useful in your
hands? The answer is definitely no! However, if
you came to planet earth where dollars are useful
believe you me you would be a very successful
and rich person. Moreover, if you found yourself
in a place where dollars had value, you would have
found yourself to be a millionaire. Here is my point
beloved; the very fact that they have not identified
your value does not mean you are useless. The fact
that you have not captured the use of something
does not mean that thing is useless. Dr. Myles
Munroe once said, “If the purpose of something is
not known abuse is inevitable.” They are treating
you that way because they have not yet captured
who you really are and what is in you. Don’t let
people’s conclusions of who you are tie you down
until your time to the grave. You have a dream to
fulfil; you have a destiny to pursue.

65
 The first time one of my friends once told me
that the graveyard was one of the richest entities
on the face of the earth, I hardly believed if I heard
him right.

“Have you ever wondered how many people

wanted to become presidents that died minus
fulfilling their dreams? Have you ever wondered
how many people dreamt to be great but just died
minus fulfilling their purpose? Sam, I have noticed
that today many people if not all die with greatness
and potential, and their dreams only benefit the
graveyard.”

O yes, he was right!

Beloved, there is something inside of you

and the greatest inhibitor to the manifestation of
your dream is you. Stop cheating your generation
by been who God did not create you to be. God
cannot anoint who you pretend to be or who you
wish you were. I know you are inspired by a lot of
ministry moguls but still maintain being who you
are. You do not have to be the next Person; you
need to be the next you because if you are the next
Person you are equally cheating your generation of
who God made you to be.

66
Embrace your uniqueness.

I always tell people in our students’ fellowship

that what you carry has a specific purpose for what
I carry no matter how much I inspire you.

Notice, Luke 1:41

“When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,

the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth
was filled with the Holy Spirit.”

The baby that was in Mary caused the Baby that

was in Elizabeth to move! In other words, Mary’s
dream gave strength to what was in Elizabeth.
Celebrate what is in you by being you. Stop the
spirit of competition and understand that what you
carry is for others to benefit and vice versa. Mary
had Jesus, but Elizabeth had John. Jesus opens a
way for John to the world and John presents Jesus
to the world. Born almost the same time, in the
same environment if it is in our days born in the
same church but had different assignments. Dear,
your gift is important for my gift because nothing
in nature lives for itself; Rivers do not drink their
own water. Trees do not eat their own fruits. The
Sun does not shine for itself and Flowers do not

67
spread their fragrance for themselves. Benefiting
others is a rule of nature. We were all born to help
each other. Iron sharpeneth iron. God has blessed
you to be a Blessing to others as they will be a
blessing to you. A knife cannot do all the kitchen
work. That it can cut does not mean it can cook.

Let us shortly run in the life of Joseph and further

show you how that God can use rejection to our
advantage, how that God can use the weapons of
our enemies to our advantage. That you blow off my
candle does not make yours shine brighter. In fact,
it will make the room dimmer. Two light candles
in a room make a room much brighter but blowing
off one will make the room less bright. Today the
church has many cockroaches moving because we
are blowing off each other’s gifts. We have failed to
understand that not everyone can be a PROPHET
OR AN APOSTLE we carry different gifts.

YOU CANNOT BURY MY DREAM

GENESIS 37:1-36

Now Jacob dwelt in the land where

his father was a [a]stranger, in the land of

68
Canaan. 2 This is the history of Jacob.

Joseph, being seventeen years old, was

feeding the flock with his brothers. And the
lad was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons
of Zilpah, his father’s wives; and Joseph
brought a bad report of them to his father.
3
Now Israel loved Joseph more than
all his children, because he was the son
of his old age. Also he made him a tunic
of many colors. 4 But when his brothers saw
that their father loved him more than all his
brothers, they hated him and could not speak
peaceably to him.
5
Now Joseph had a dream, and he
told it to his brothers; and they hated him
even more. 6 So he said to them, “Please hear
this dream which I have dreamed: 7 There
we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then
behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright;
and indeed your sheaves stood all around and
bowed down to my sheaf.”
8
And his brothers said to him, “Shall you
indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed

69
have dominion over us?” So they hated him
even more for his dreams and for his words.
9
Then he dreamed still another dream and
told it to his brothers, and said, “Look, I have
dreamed another dream. And this time, the
sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed
down to me.”
10
So he told it to his father and his brothers;
and his father rebuked him and said to him,
“What is this dream that you have dreamed?
Shall your mother and I and your brothers
indeed come to bow down to the earth before
you?” 11 And his brothers envied him, but his
father kept the matter in mind.
12
Then his brothers went to feed their
father’s flock in Shechem. 13 And Israel said
to Joseph, “Are not your brothers feeding the
flock in Shechem? Come, I will send you to
them.”

So he said to him, “Here I am.”

14
Then he said to him, “Please go and see
if it is well with your brothers and well with

70
the flocks, and bring back word to me.” So he
sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and he
went to Shechem.
15
Now a certain man found him, and there
he was, wandering in the field. And the man
asked him, saying, “What are you seeking?”
16
So he said, “I am seeking my
brothers. Please tell me where they are
feeding their flocks.”
17
And the man said, “They have departed
from here, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to
Dothan.’ ” So Joseph went after his brothers
and found them in Dothan.
18
Now when they saw him afar off, even
before he came near them, they conspired
against him to kill him. 19 Then they said
to one another, “Look, this [b]dreamer is
coming! 20 Come therefore, let us now kill
him and cast him into some pit; and we shall
say, ‘Some wild beast has devoured him.’ We
shall see what will become of his dreams!”
21
But Reuben heard it, and he delivered

71
him out of their hands, and said, “Let us not
kill him.” 22 And Reuben said to them, “Shed
no blood, but cast him into this pit which is in
the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on
him”—that he might deliver him out of their
hands, and bring him back to his father.
23
So it came to pass, when Joseph had come
to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his
tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on
him. 24 Then they took him and cast him into
a pit. And the pit was empty; there was no
water in it.
25
And they sat down to eat a meal. Then
they lifted their eyes and looked, and there
was a company of Ishmaelites, coming
from Gilead with their camels, bearing
spices, balm, and myrrh, on their way to
carry them down to Egypt. 26 So Judah said to
his brothers, “What profit is there if we kill
our brother and conceal his blood? 27 Come
and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let
not our hand be upon him, for he isour
brother and our flesh.” And his brothers
listened. 28 Then Midianite traders passed
by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and

72
lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the
Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And
they took Joseph to Egypt.
29
Then Reuben returned to the pit, and
indeed Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore
his clothes. 30 And he returned to his brothers
and said, “The lad is no more; and I, where
shall I go?”
31
So they took Joseph’s tunic, killed
a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic
in the blood. 32 Then they sent the tunic
of many colors, and they brought it to their
father and said, “We have found this. Do you
know whether it is your son’s tunic or not?”
33
And he recognized it and said, “It
is my son’s tunic. A wild beast has devoured
him. Without doubt Joseph is torn to
pieces.” 34 Then Jacob tore his clothes, put
sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his
son many days. 35 And all his sons and all
his daughters arose to comfort him; but he
refused to be comforted, and he said, “For I
shall go down into the grave to my son in
mourning.” Thus his father wept for him.

73
 36
Now the [c]Midianites had sold
him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of
Pharaoh and captain of the guard.

Scripture talks about how Joseph was loved by

his father more than all his brothers and the reason
was that he was the son of his old age. His father
further made him a coat of many colors. In other
words, his father dropped a blessing on his life.
Upon seeing this, his brothers hated him and could
not speak peaceably to him. As if it was not enough,
when the young man had a dream, explained it to his
brothers and they even hated him the most. You will
notice that they hated him but after sharing about his
dream, they hated him the most. There is a dream in
you that threatens the devil even in its seed form. That
is why what you are going through is not normal.
There is a big dream in you the devil wants to attack
before it matures. Are you aware that the devil does
not go after garbage? If you have, nothing the devil
will never be after your life. The reason why you are
going through that trouble is because of what you are
carrying. No woman experiences morning sickness if
she does not have any signs of pregnancy.

Joseph like any other gifted child had a dream

that gave him a future perception of who he would

74
be. Joseph speaking while interpreting his dream
he said, “I will be a ruler amongst you all”. In other
words, Joseph was prophesying his future though
his brothers were not happy at all.

Joseph was a son of Rachel who suffered

barrenness for a very long time. Fortunately, along
the way God blessed her with a vibrant son, a
dreamer Joseph. Because Jacob loved Rachel so
much automatically, Jacob loved Joseph so much
the miracle of his old age.

Scripture explains further that Joseph had a

dream and he knew where he was going. Beloved,
when you know where you are going you will
determine the people that can be your friends. If
you have aspirations of becoming a president,
you cannot be hanging around people who are
not going your direction. Joseph’s siblings knew
where he was going, they identified who he was-
he was a dreamer. The devil will only decide to kill
you, if he identifies your greatness.

You are going through all those traps of death

because of what you are carrying, you are going
through all those troubles because of how valuable
you will be tomorrow.

75
 You are a star that is why scars are following you!

Insects always want to cover the light so that

they can easily attack you in the dark. However,
if you have an understanding of where you are
going nothing can stand in your way. Jesus did not
wake up in pressure when the wind exceedingly
frightened the disciples because he knew his final
destination was the cross.

Furthermore, Joseph dreamed another dream

and as if it was not enough, he explained to his
brothers and his father. This time his brothers were
so jealous and they envied him so much that they
conspired to kill him but Rueben delivered him out
of their hands and said let us not kill him. Beloved,
the favor of God was so evident in Joseph’s life that
right in the midst of his enemies God gave him a
friend. They put him in the pit thinking they were
killing him not realizing they fulfilled a scripture
that says he that ascended first descended and
according to Physics, if the ball has to bounce higher
it has to hit the ground harder. In other words, you
have to go so low so that you can bounce back so
high. Therefore, when they throw you in the pit they
are just prophesying to you to say, as the catapult
is stretched before release we are stretching before

76
your release to the next level. You will go higher and
higher by the grace of God. Sorrow may endure for
the night but joy comes in the morning. Whatever
pit was catapulted over Joseph’s life was just a
conspiracy of how high he would go. Sometimes
God will walk you through the wilderness before
He gets you to the promise land.

David said in Psalm 23:4, “Even though I

walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no
evil, for you are with me; your rod and your
staff, they comfort me.”

Scripture is clear; though I go through the

valley of dry bones, I will fear no evil. God took
Prophet Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones despite
how empty and void they seemed he prophesied
and life was given. In the same manner, even if
Joseph had died in the pit God would have raised an
Ezekiel to prophesy to his bones and commanded
him to come out because he was not yet done with
his mission. Your Dream cannot die prematurely,
as young as you are, you are not yet done with
what God has put inside of you. You will not die!

I noticed that after the brothers had cast

Joseph into the pit, they sat down to eat bread.

77
Sometimes the devil feels he has won. After
cutting the hair of Samson, the philistines
celebrated forgetting the fact that hair grows
again once it is cut. The Philistines felt at peace
as Joseph’s brothers felt after thinking they had
finished him. They little thought Joseph had his
eyes set on the Lord.

Psalms 121:1-2

“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where

does my help come? My help comes from
the LORD, who made heaven and earth.”

As long as you look up, you can always get up.

Never fall with your eyes looking downwards. If
you can look up the hills, help is coming on the
way.

From the pit the brothers sold Joseph to the

Ishmaelites. With study, I discovered that all the
things that happened to Joseph fulfilled Prophesy.
Ishmaelites were the descendants of Ishmael who
was the first legitimate son of Abraham. Ishmael
was a son Abraham had before the will of God.
He was a mistake child Abraham had from his
housekeeper before the promise child, Isaac.

78
 Beloved, nobody was born by accident;
every creature that steps on the face of the earth
has a purpose it is designed to serve. Abraham
thought Ishmael was a mistake, well looking at the
circumstance he had him in I would also think the
same, but God is God. Jacob thought that was the
end of the journey, but before that God had shown
him a vision that his descendants would go into
slavery for 400 years and the first descendants
that was supposed to go into slavery was Joseph.
So being sold to the Ishmaelites, was fulfilling
prophesy because it is the same Ishmaelites that
took him to the promise land.

At that time Abraham regretted having Ishmael,

he probably thought Ishmael was a huge mistake he
had brought to himself. God promised him Isaac but
he went ahead and had Ishmael. Oblivious to the fact
that God had planned everything from the beginning.

God is a master planner. Nothing with him

happens by coincidence.

Scripture says “And we know that in

all things not some things works for the
good of those who love him, who have been
called according to his purpose.”

79
 Therefore, what looked like a mistake to
Abraham he made years ago, God used it to bare
unquestionable results. God used the mistake as a
blessing. You might be reading this book and you
might have made a mistake that you have regretted
so much that when you look back you do not even
feel comfortable to talk about it. I want to suggest
to you that probably God orchestrated that mistake
to bring you to the promise land. Mind you, our
ways are not God’s ways at all. God used what
man called a mistake (Ishmael) to fulfil Prophesy.
Ishmael took Joseph to Egypt, his brothers joined
and they exceedingly multiplied and were led by
Moses. You might have made so many mistakes
that when you look at your life, you see yourself
as an evil person. Get this truth from me, no matter
how evil you are, your evil cannot outdo the
goodness of God.

God has forgiven you simply move on. The

precious blood of Jesus is more potent for all.
Forgive yourself. Kill the guilt. How can you live
such a life of regrets and still serve God? Kill
the bitterness and start going to a bible believing
church. If not church where else will you find
redemption, where else will you find the mercy of
God being preached?

80
 To make an infertile soil fertile you use mature.
Sometimes, God will use your mistakes to produce
your redemption. Manure is not something one
can eat, it is dirty messed up stuff, and it is trash.
When you look at your life and feel as though you
are so messed, you feel as though you are not a
good ground for the Holy Ghost to settle. Beloved,
stop deceiving yourself because when the seed of
the word falls on the manured soil, it will break
out and bring out many godly, tested and genuine
fruits. God will use the mess in your life to do
mighty things because they are a good ground for
his harvest.

Not everyone will love your coat, not everyone

will love your gift, they will hate you for no reason.
But maturity is when you can still invite Judas to
your dinner.

The brothers messed Joseph’s coat, tore it apart

and threw it away because they didn’t know that
it was not about what was on the outside but what
was on the inside. They can talk down on you, spit
on you but they can’t change the prophesy on your
life. Jesus carried the cross all by himself, when
Simon helped him till crucifixion, the cross had
Jesus’s name on it not Simon’s. Each Great person

81
has a cross to carry and your CROSS will fit your
CALLING. You will wear your coat after all those
challenges in Jesus name.

Mind you, one of the Characteristics of

PREGNANCY is SELECTIVITY. Beloved, a
pregnant woman just does not eat everything she
selects what suits her hormonal Change. So then,
SELECTIVITY is an indicator to show that you are
PREGNANT, its an indication that you are gifted.
You cannot fit in with everyone and everything!

In your pregnancy state, many will say you are

chicky, you are moody and all.

Well, tell them this, “It’s not pride, what am

CARRYING cannot just allow me to listen to
ANYONE. My response to anything is dependent
on what I am carrying, what I am carrying can’t
allow me just read any book.”

Be careful what you feed yourself, you are

endangering what you are carrying! Elizabeth made
relation with Mary because they had something
in common. That they are your brothers doesn’t
mean they can be your friends. Didn’t Cain rise up
against his brother? The bible doesn’t say he rose

82
against his enemy. Choose people to open up to,
Joseph. Not everyone you tell about your success
will be happy for you.

A SEED grows with no sound, but a TREE

falls with a huge NOISE. CREATION is always
quiet, but DESTRUCTION always makes some
NOISE. Beloved, keep creating and always
build in SILENCE! Mind you, when you build
is silence, potential enemies or competitors don’t
know what to attack! Get my advice MOTHER
OF MOSES, the announcement of the baby boy
you are carrying will cause you unnecessary
stalking, investigations, and followings by
HEROD AND HIS SOLDIERS (enemies).

Move in SILENCE you don’t know what your

brothers are planning about your DREAM!

A MAN HAS TO ANOUNCE YOUR

TIME!

2 KINGS 7:1-2

Elisha replied, “Hear the word of

the LORD. This is what the LORD says: About
this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour
will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley
for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.”
2
The officer on whose arm the king was
leaning said to the man of God, “Look, even
if the LORD should open the floodgates of the
heavens, could this happen?”

“You will see it with your own eyes,”

answered Elisha, “but you will not eat any
of it!”

The bible speaks about the men of Issachar,

who were men of great understanding of time and
they were able to instruct other men what to do.

85
 Every time I look at the scripture above I
question myself and say, “Why did the officer
doubt Elisha, even though he was known to be the
sharpest prophet in that generation?”

How dare the man could even go ahead and ask

to say, “If God should open the windows of heaven.
This that you have said is practically impossible.”
The reason here is that, like many of us, we do not
understand the operationalities of God. By natural
analysis, this famine had gone on for three and a
half years. The hostility was too much that people
were literally eating their own children. This was
how terrible the scarcity was. There was no rain
there was no dew. If it were today, markets were
not selling.

The man thought that if the economy was

going to change what has gone on for three and
a half years should have actually taken more than
three years to turn. In other words, if what had gone
wrong was to change for the better, it was equally
supposed to take the same time. You can tell with
me that the man was thinking logically, the man
was thinking naturally. The man was putting the
economic indices together. After his calculations,
after putting everything together he later said to

86
the man of God that that thing he had said, even if
heaven had to open and begun to rain money and
put food in people’s houses, what he was saying
was not possible. The officer did not know that
every time God wants to change a man’s situation
he brings a servant to speak timing, he brings a
servant to bring time, but it is in your ability to
understand timing that makes it your day and your
season.

Beloved, God is God and He does not live

in realms of men, God lives in eternity. Will you
agree with me that anything God is going to do
for you He has done it before He spoke it, but the
fact that God lives in eternity, your provisions too
are in eternity. Your interventions are in eternity;
your breakthroughs are in eternity. Therefore, if
all you know and all you hear is what God said,
you will hear it and not see it because it was said
from the realms of eternity. Bear this in mind,
where God is there is neither day nor night there
is neither June nor December. As a matter of fact,
the realm where God lives is a mathematical
confusion to man. A day with him is like a
thousand years and the other way a thousand
years with him is like a day. Now how can you
operate with such a calendar? So, if you say, “I

87
am waiting for God to help me, am waiting for
God to bless me”. Beloved, you may wait, wait,
and probably waste.

You know why?

Because God has already blessed you in the

realms of the spirit but the only challenging part
is that you are not in that realm. You are in the
physical realm; you are in the realm of timing and
seasons. The bible speaking, “A day before God is
like a thousand years and a thousand years is like
a day.” Like I have already stated. God does not
work by our calendar. That is why every time God
wants to bring to pass the desires of your heart and
the expectations of your life. He brings a man that
lives in the season of time; he brings a man that
lives in the natural realm to provide the timing so
that what has been given in the spiritual can find
expression in the physical.

That is why the scripture encourages in I

Chronicles 20:20

“…. Believe in the LORD your God, so

shall ye be established; believe his prophets,
so shall ye prosper.”

88
 Established where? Of course, in the spirit,
but spiritual establishment if not translated in the
physical will lack achievement.

That is why not every man that God had

promised from the scripture saw their promises.
Some died without even seeing their promises.

Do you remember when God said to the

children of Israel, they would live in Egypt for
400 years but they spent 430 years? Not because
God lied No! No! but because God doesn’t deal
with timing. He deals with eternity. Therefore,
when God wants to change your life he brings
a man.

From scripture you will notice that when

Elisha entered the scene. He said, “Tomorrow
about this time” That was the pronouncement of
time child of God, that was the pronouncement
of a new season and by that pronouncement all
that which had been provided in spirit found
manifestation in the physical. Maybe your pastor
has declared that this is the year of favor, this is the
year of honey, and this is the year of flourishing.
I prophesy to you that it shall be has declared in
Jesus name.

89
 God said to Abraham, “I will bless you and make
you great”. Abraham followed God and followed God
but he could not see “the promise”. The reason was
that God was saying it from the realms of eternity.
So then, I discovered that if God had not come to
the realms of the physical and provide timing to what
he had said in eternity. This man would have died
in the physical realm and he would not have seen
his promise. Beloved, there was no pastor then, no
prophet, and no priest. Then God came down in the
form of Melchizedek to reecho what he had said
in eternity, to TIME. That is why he appeared as
Melchizedek. God was in a hurry to appear as a man,
he did not want to wait for a natural part because if
he had waited for a natural part the man, Abraham,
would have died without seeing the blessing promised
in eternity. Therefore, God came as Melchizedek, as
a man without a father and mother, for He needed
to be a man so that Abraham could have a physical
entity to relate with so that the eternal promise could
find expression in time. If God had left Abraham
in the realm of God dealing with a man he would
have had nobody to source his blessing from. He
would have had nobody to give tithe to. God came as
Melchizedek and when Abraham made demand on
a Man, the Man received his seed and tithe. Look at
Melchizedek’s words Genesis 14:18,

90
“Blessed be Abraham of the Most-High”.

That was what God was saying in the realm

of the spirit, but Abraham was not yet blessed.
Beloved, as soon as Melchizedek pronounced the
blessing in time, Abraham became rich in silver, in
gold, in cattle, all because a MAN pronounced in
time what God had been saying in eternity. Seeing
that it worked, God applied it again to Abraham
and said, “Abraham I will make you a father of
many nations.”

Abraham followed God for his quest for a child

and in God’s promise for a child. God changed his
name from Abram to Abraham, meaning father of
many nations. Even with the change of the name,
he had no children, and even for a promise of a
child, he had no baby.

You know why?

It was simply because God was saying it from

the realms of eternity and nobody had said it in
time as so, there was no season for pregnancy. In
genesis 15, Abraham complained saying “God, I
have been waiting until I have impregnated my
own house help, when will you give me a child?

91
Can my servant Eliezer be my heir? For how
long will this promise last?” Probably he as well
complained saying, “Lord, I am getting old, wife
too is getting old. When will the child come?”

In Genesis 1, God said let there be light and

light appeared. With this understanding, you will
agree with me that when God called him father of
many nations, the man had children already but
physically none. Beloved everything, he needed
for fruitfulness was transferred into him by the
same word God used to bring light. God wanted to
bring the baby in time, but when he looked around
there was no pastor, there were no prophets, and
there were no priests. Therefore, God came down
as human beings. Because If God kept speaking in
eternity, the man would have died without a child.
God as human beings came down and pretended
as if they were passing by, but by the perception
of Abraham, he said, “These men don’t look like
ordinary men. I will take them to my house, I will
honor them, I will serve them, and I will respect
them for they do not look ordinary.” Abraham
ran to the three men and took them to his house.
He later killed for them a kid of an animal and
gave them milk and food. He barely knew he was
dealing with God.

92
 When they ate like men, they stood and spoke
like men. “Abraham, where is your wife”, they asked
him. “She is in the tent”, he replied. Tell her by this
time, beloved that was the first, Time was mentioned.
All the while God was promising but without a date.
“I will make you great, you will have plenty children
like the stars” all without the date. You would have
children like sand but without a date.

God came as a man so that Abraham could relate

with him, as a Man He needed to eat not because He
was hungry. That is the parameter for timing. God
did not need an animal when Abraham killed it, but in
the dealing with a man a sacrifice, a seed, tithe or an
offering is needed. Notice, when they ate they asked
him, “Abraham where is your wife?” Further, they
said by that time the following year his wife would
conceive a child. Beloved, if you were, Sarah I would
excuse you if you laughed in doubt like she did.

Why wouldn’t you laugh?

“God has been saying it but I did not get

pregnant. Is it these men that God has brought from
the wilderness like housemen and fed them that will
say that I will have child? Probably they are drunk
by the food we gave them my Husband,” Sarah

93
laughed. Beloved, the woman laughed in doubt
because God said it and she was still barren, so she
thought could men still say it and she conceived?
However, what she didn’t understand is the fact
that God brings men to pronounce timing. She
wasn’t aware that God came in the realms of men
to create her season.

Beloved, whether she doubted or believed

her timing had been prophesied. The husband
had received men who spoke time and that was
the time she conceived. She said to herself that
anybody that heard about what happened to her
would laugh with her because timing had become
her portion.

Timing is the pronouncement of mortals.

I do not care how you believe God, but if you

believe God without believing his prophets, prosperity
will not be your portion. Prosperity is the translation
of heavenly inheritance into physical realities. A
Shunammite woman that took care of Elisha what
didn’t give her a baby was in the timing of a man.
After receiving a man, she received her time! “Don’t
talk too much woman, hear m prophecy,” Elisha told
the woman. “About this time next year,” Elisha said,

94
“You will hold a son in your arms.” God is not a
man, he doesn’t work by the calculation of the men.
Doctors can say you cannot carry a child, did they
create you? Ignorance is a platform of every doubt.
You have no idea of how God works. The day you
know your Pastor that’s the day you know your date.
Peter knew his date on knowing who Jesus was.

The Bible is clear it is only the violent that takes it

by force. Beloved timing is by choice stop mistaking
procrastination as for patience. The four lepers by
the gate enforced their time by taking a decision to
move. It did not matter how long they stayed in their
condition, it didn’t matter how long they stood by
the gate, that timing had been said, they encouraged
themselves saying better they died moving than
been at one spot. This book is in your hands not by
accident I know probably there has been something
that has crippled you, something thing that has held
your feet. I want to encourage you and to take a move
again. Better to die going forward. Better to die trying
again than not doing anything at all. Like Pete, stop
washing the net throw for the catch again, don’t shift
to another river throw for the catch again.

Start again! Go to school again. Activate your

reaction mood again!

 Conclusion

I want to conclude this book by encouraging

you and telling you not to let your wounds speak
to your word (prophesy, process)! I know you took
that in your note book. Don’t let your broken feet
speak to your future like Mephibosheth.

Because God is using your hardship (bush) to

unravel the inborn leader that’s already inside of
you. you are the eighth son, the new beginning
son from which your family has to experience a
new shift! You are designated for use by God for
a particular purpose. You are not going through
the pain of rejection and marginalization. Neither
are you enduring hardship just for the sake of
testimony NO! NO! NO! but you walking through
the painful places and the broken places because
God has made you strong enough to survive
crooked ways. And He plans to use them in ways
that you can never imagine.

Beloved, God does not sentence you to pain.

He trusts you with it. When God trusts you with
pain and grief and tears, it’s not just for you.
It’s most likely for those people that you will be

97
connected to once you arrive at the place of your
anointing.

When bread is being baked, the ovens are

covered to prevent the escape of heat that bakes
bread. The reason why you are covered behind
the bush is so that the pains, the loneliness, the
hardships can fashion you into a much-honored
king. As heat bakes bread so are the hardships
you encountering making a great leader in you.
Gone are days of leaders who have gone through
nothing.

Trust the process, stop allowing people to

put a fence around your house before you finish
building it because if you allow them to build in,
then you cannot build your house bigger than the
fence. Your fence is predicated by the size of your
house not the size of your thoughts. Your condition
has nothing to do with how you will be tomorrow.
I see you becoming Great with this revelation that
has dropped in your spirit.

Beloved, you are so special that you don’t share

your finger prints with anyone. God has set you
aside from the crowd by hiding you in the bush, He
has set you aside by hiding you in the Pit. Embrace

98
that pain you are going through as a lesson and
not as a break down. That pain will only leave you
when it finishes teaching you a lesson. I know the
loneliness is not interesting, the loneliness is not
comfortable but God is developing and furnishing
a great leader in you.

Don’t you remember the story of a donkey that

was tied in the VILLAGE? When God is training
you, he will not take you to a place of interest but
he will take you to an isolated and looked down on
ground. He will hide you like that Donkey because
he doesn’t want anyone to ride on you, He doesn’t
want anybody to use you before Jesus shows up.

Note what interested me the most, Joseph

never knew Mary until she brought fourth her First
born. I just realized that Mary was so important
that Joseph couldn’t have her until Jesus was done
with her. You are so important to God that is still
working on you for His use. Here are my last words
for you, GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN YOU.

99
 THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO
BELIEVED IN ME

It’s exciting to jump onto the boat and follow the

crowd. But wisdom doesn’t need the crowd. Wisdom
sees where someone is GOING and invest in them
EARLY. Before the crowd arrive, there are a few that
will dig their feet in the sand and say “I BELIEVE!”
The problem with our generation is most people
are determined to show up to support you once you
no longer need it. They will want to endorse you, only
because you are being endorsed by others. They will
want to comment on your posts, only because they
have seen the crowd doing so.
If you never saw any significance in a seedling at baby
stage you have no right to eat from it now that it’s mature
A big thanks to all of the “early supporters” that don’t
need the CROWD to see someone’s POTENTIAL!!
Family saw nothing in David at the start till he
became King! Family saw nothing in Joseph till he
became Prime minister!
People are not interested in your life, but they are
only interested in your results.
