Kingdom Strategies for National Transformation



(Study)
Text: Matt.6:33
Introduction: We desperately need God in our Lives, Leadership and Nation. A fool says in His heart there is no God (Psa.53:1). The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom (Prov.9:10) and makes us depart from evil (Prov.16:6). Democracy is not the best form of government. ‘Democracy’ is only good to the extent that its practitioners acknowledge God in their ways. Even if leaders and citizens are not exactly Christians it is the little fear and glory of God that they have and the righteous ways that they follow that makes them lead right and bring about development to their nations and societies. Like when Israel rejected God and wanted a king like other nations (1Sam.8:5-7), there seems to be a gradual progress in rejecting and rebelling against God and His ways in various nations and governments of the world. People no longer want God and His ways to rule in their affairs anymore.

Things we must do:
1. Long for the souls of men to be saved and keep reaching out to them. The natural man doesn’t have the ability in Himself to do right. It is God who works in us making us willing and able to do His will, Phil.2:13.
2. Keep discipling believers till they are fully transformed into the image of Christ, Rom.12:2.
3. Believers should take responsibility for their nation and consistently pray for all citizens and the government, 1Tim.2:1-4.
4. As believers we must be more deliberate about being the salt and light God has made us to be, Matt.5:1-16. 
5. Citizens must be disciplined and loyal / supportive to the government, Rom.13:1-3.
6. Citizens must keep taking things like their educational, economic and political advancement to the next level.
7. Leaders must enforce discipline, Rom.13:4-5.
8. Leaders must create enabling environment things like educational, economic and political advancement, Prov.29:2 using the wisdom of God like Joseph did in Egypt.
9. Leaders and citizens must uphold judgment and justice, 2Sam.8:15. (Do the right things and treat people fairly).
10. Please feel free to discuss more strategies in the comment section below.
Conclusion: National Transformation is a by-product of advancing God’s kingdom (doing God’s will) on the earth. Our focus must continually be on our character and how we can collaborate with others towards experiencing growth, development and transformation in our nation.

The Greatest Revolution Nigeria Needs in 2024

What you’re about to read is a summary of the major conversations that took place in my mind as I listened to the wonderful session by Mrs Ndidi Ukaonu at The Platform event held on May  1 st ,  2023.   1.0 Clarification of Terms: An Intrapreneur is not just someone who is working in an organization. That’s an employee. Not every employee is an Intrapreneur…..just as not everybody who starts a business is an entrepreneur. The major difference between an employee and an intrapreneur is in how they view their work and carry it out.  Just like an entrepreneur, an intrapreneur employs innovation in his/her work.  A certain mindshift needs to take place for an employee to shift and evolve into an intrapreneur. Mrs Ukaonu dealt extensively with this in her session. This is the greatest revolution Nigeria needs right now - The Intrapreneurial Revolution .    2.0 The Great Need for This Revolution: 1. A. Intrapreneurship boosts national productivity – The more we have intrapreneurial

11 Phenomenal Leaders/ Mentors I have worked directly with/ under (Part A)

Bishop FEB Idahosa (All Time) – Bishop FEB Idahosa is a great man that I have been privileged to meet and be trained and inspired by. One thing I remember very well, is how Bishop FEB made me and other leaders of Christian Fellowship International meet with great ministers of God when these ministers came for Church of God Mission Conventions and programs. I mean people we only see on TV. As a student at that time, those meetings were such a great blessing. Later on as a CGMI Model Church Pastor, we had great times and meetings with Bishop FEB and his lovely wife – Rev. Laurie Idahosa, where we brainstormed, prayed, shared God’s word and were impacted to be better leaders. The very first time I travelled on a plane was on a flight to Lagos from Benin with Bishop FEB. He still inspires and blesses me till today.      Rev. Prince Arheghan (1999) – I entered Benson Idahosa University around August/ September 1999 and one of the best things that happened to me was joini
