EMPOWERING THE THIRD DAY ECCLESIA

Indecisiveness is often considered a defining characteristic of immaturity. On the other hand, individuals with maturity and strong character demonstrate the ability to make precise, well-considered decisions guided by knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Many adults today, especially those in some form of leadership positions, often face significant challenges when required to make decisive choices they can support because they've thought through them. This difficulty frequently stems from an underdeveloped capacity for decision-making, as the mental faculties that aid this process were not sufficiently cultivated. Moving into the future clouded by disruptions and uncertainties will require men and women who have the knowledge and character fortitude to make swift, precise decision that are well calculated in bringing the right advancement initiatives to bear. As you might have noticed that decision-making is not an innate gift bestowed upon us; it is a learned, trained act, a critical value meant to be cultivated and refined through our developmental years as children and refined into adulthood. Like a muscle, the ability to make sound, resolute choices must be built and ingrained through childhood training and experiences, guidance, and intentional practice. By the time we reach maturity, we are expected to have understood the rudiments of crafting high-quality decisions that align with our visionary purposes, values, and objectives. Yet, many adults today find themselves paralyzed by indecision or prone to impulsive choices they cannot sustain. This struggle often stems from a failure to develop the “mind muscle” required for effective decision-making—a skill that was either neglected in their formative years or undermined by fear, insecurity, or lack of discipline.The consequences of this gap are profound. As the Bible warns in James 1:8, “a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways,” unable to receive from the Lord or, by extension, from life itself. A double-minded approach, marked by wavering or hasty choices creates instability in relationships, careers, and personal growth. Advancing into uncharted waters and the uncertainties of tomorrow's future would require a quality of leadership behavioral character with the ability and fortitude to make well-calculated decisions that drive families and communities towards their prophetic assignments and initiatives. Without this foundation, individuals and communities would remain crippled and trapped in cycles of indecision or premature choices that could further hinder the potentials the well-being of those around them.

TRACKING THE LORD'S COMING AND FINAL RETURN. 35 “Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit. 36 Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks. 37 Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them. 38 Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.39 “But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 40 You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.” Luke 12:35-40The True Nature of Christ's ReturnThe return of our Lord Jesus Christ has been the subject of countless predictions, calculations, and speculations throughout church history. Yet Revelation 22:17 provides us with profound insight into the true nature of this divine event: “And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!' And let him who hears say, ‘Come!' And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.”This verse reveals that Christ's return is fundamentally about the union of relationship between the bride (the church) and the Spirit. When the church reaches a place of genuine maturity and readiness through our union with the Holy Spirit—who prepares the church for the coming of Christ—only then can we properly understand the timing and nature of the Lord's return.Acts 3:21 further clarifies this truth: “whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.” The phrase “restoration of all things” does not refer to material restoration, but to the complete alignment of our spirit, soul, and body in perfect union with God's divine intentions for humanity. This restoration speaks to mankind returning to his original ordained position so that when Christ returns, He can find a truly mature church to call His bride.

The art of intercession is beyond our traditional concept of prayer. It calls us into a deep and profound comprehension of a sacrificial way of lifestyle that collaborates with the forces of heaven to bring about reformation and transformation to society. It flows from a selfless heart, fully and wholly devoted to God's kingdom purposes and prophetic mandate for man and creation. When we intercede, we step into a sacred calling, standing in the gap in relentless love and courage, aligning earthly realities with the divine will to shift the course of human affairs for individuals, communities, and entire nations.At its core, intercession is an act of love; it's an intentional, Spirit-led intervention on behalf of others. It's the moment when a human heart aligns with God's heart, pleading for His mercy, justice, and purposes to manifest in the earth. Whether it's for a family member, a city, or an entire nation, intercession carries the weight of heaven's redemptive plan. The Bible is filled with examples of intercessors who changed the course of history through their relentless, heartfelt prayers: Daniel, Nehemiah, Abraham, Moses, and countless others who stood before God on behalf of broken people and wayward nations.Consider Daniel's story in Babylon (Daniel 10). From the moment he began to pray, God dispatched an answer, but a spiritual adversary, the prince of Persia, hindered the response for 21 days. Daniel's persistence in prayer, coupled with angelic intervention, ultimately broke through the resistance. This account reveals a critical truth: intercession is not just a spiritual exercise; it's a confrontation with unseen forces that seek to oppose God's will. It requires tenacity, spiritual insight, and a deep understanding of the agencies at play in the spiritual realm.Intercession is heaven's ordained mechanism for transformation. If a nation is to experience revival, renewal, or restoration, it begins with a people who understand the ministry of intercession. These intercessors are the forerunners of change, the ones who labor in prayer to align earthly realities with heaven's purposes. But to be effective, intercession demands more than fervent prayers; it requires a clear understanding of the spiritual dynamics involved and a heart fully surrendered to God's redemptive plan.

The future is not one that can be engaged through self-help, motivational preaching orientation as seen today. A deeper sense of spiritual quest, identity and readiness must become the gear we wear to advance the prophetic redemptive counsel of heaven for creation. To put our hope, strength and focus on the arm of the flesh will be translated to absolute failure. I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. Ecclesiastes 9:11 According to First Corinthians, we encounter one of the most critical subjects that must be addressed in the sacred place of fasting: the concept of authentic spiritual development through the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit.The Corinthian Christians present us with a sobering case study. These believers had become so proficient in operating spiritual gifts that they achieved a dangerous level of spiritual blindness. Paul writes, "I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God, which was given to you by Christ Jesus, that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you. So that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 1:4-7). Yet despite this supernatural giftedness, they remained spiritual infants, as Paul later declares: "And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ" (1 Corinthians 3:1).This paradox reveals a fundamental truth: the operation of spiritual gifts does not automatically qualify one for spiritual maturity. The Corinthians had mistaken gifting for growth, manifestation for maturity. They believed their supernatural abilities indicated readiness for Christ's return, representing the highest form of spiritual delusion. When believers assume that functioning in spiritual gifts qualifies them for spiritual maturity, they fall into the same trap that ensnared the Corinthian church.

As we further press towards the second phase of our September 2025 fasting period, it is essential that the Word of God to reflect key spiritual values and principles relevant to the significance and dynamics of this fasting. Fasting encompasses several important objectives that should be clearly understood by any follower of Christ who practices it. During this season of fasting, we have outlined specific goals and objectives: pursuing mindset mental transformation, seeking spiritual growth and maturity that broadens our perspective, and preparing the Body of Christ prophetically for spiritual challenges in the days ahead.The future is not one that can be engaged through self-help, motivational preaching orientation as seen today.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 According to First Corinthians, we encounter one of the most critical subjects that must be addressed in the sacred place of fasting: the concept of authentic spiritual development through the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit.The Corinthian Christians present us with a sobering case study. These believers had become so proficient in operating spiritual gifts that they achieved a dangerous level of spiritual blindness. Paul writes, "I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God, which was given to you by Christ Jesus, that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you. So that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 1:4-7). Yet despite this supernatural giftedness, they remained spiritual infants, as Paul later declares: "And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ" (1 Corinthians 3:1).This paradox reveals a fundamental truth: the operation of spiritual gifts does not automatically qualify one for spiritual maturity. The Corinthians had mistaken gifting for growth, manifestation for maturity. They believed their supernatural abilities indicated readiness for Christ's return, representing the highest form of spiritual delusion. When believers assume that functioning in spiritual gifts qualifies them for spiritual maturity, they fall into the same trap that ensnared the Corinthian church.

It would be an understatement to say that this current season of disruptions at all levels requires a different breed of believers - those with keen prophetic insight, understanding, and maturity to address the complex challenges before us. From geopolitical disruptions to economic challenges, and the current spiritual battle engaging the church globally, fasting is required to gain clarity and understanding of God's ways. Just as we see in the days of Daniel in Babylon, who fasted for 21 days for spiritual breakthrough over the realm (Daniel 10:2-3). Daniel is a model for us as the third day ecclesia that seeks to accelerate God ‘s visionary agenda within the nations, particularly in this period of systematic complex darkness, pervading the hearts and sociopolitical landscapes of nations. Fasting enhances the renewal and development of neural pathways that allow us to see new possibilities and innovations. The Father desires us to live healthy, fruitful, and fulfilling lives. Fasting gives us a sense of sound health, peace, and quietness deep within our inner man. Every aspect of our lives needs adequate care, and fasting plays a major role in this renewal and wholeness of our entire spirit, soul, and body.Spiritual discipline lays the foundation for spiritual breakthrough and advancement. The time of fasting is a time of spiritual renewal - a time of spiritual redemption, recalibration, spiritual development and reform, rediscovery of divine intent, realignment and redirection, and restoration. This is when our prophetic knowledge and insight are greatly enhanced and empowered to further pursue the initiatives of the kingdom of God in greater light.NEED FOR DETOXIFICATION AND RE-CALIBRATION:Our intention and deep desire is to be moved to a higher position of prophetic sight, wisdom, operation, and functionality to courageously build heaven's mandate for our generation. To dethrone the works of the flesh is not a game we can play casually as we have in the past. There must be a well-defined, structured system put in place, and in this fast, fasting is a major part in dethroning the flesh and enthroning the reign of Christ over the soul.We believe fasting is important in helping us develop spiritual knowledge that enhances our sense of current revelatory knowledge and wisdom in our journey into the prophetic realities of the ascended Kingdom life and its establishment for the present season. Fasting keeps the mind in good shape and our thoughts on the right path while our body is brought to that point of divine realignment. The toxic waste in our body system needs to be drained out so our body system can experience renewal. The science of neuron discipline states that it takes at least 21 days of repetitive practice of a particular discipline or task to alter the rigid neuron mapping of the brain that allows for certain behavioral patterns and thinking. This finding is certainly consistent with biblical studies. If we truly desire to see change, we need to engage our pattern of thinking with new perspectives and experiences that allow us to produce the fruit we desire.This means that if you desire to see specific transformation in any particular area of your life, you'll have to invest at least three weeks retraining those areas that have developed wrong habits, which are strongholds. What I've discovered is that many already have hard wiring in specific parts of their thinking (mindset) that has created predictable patterns of thinking and behavioral responses. Hence, it makes it difficult for them to see themselves changing.

As we enter the second phase of our September 2025 fasting period, it is essential that the Word of God to reflect key spiritual values and principles relevant to the significance and dynamics of this fasting. Fasting encompasses several important objectives that should be clearly understood by any follower of Christ who practices it. During this season of fasting, we have outlined specific goals and objectives: pursuing mindset mental transformation, seeking spiritual growth and maturity that broadens our perspective, and preparing the Body of Christ prophetically for spiritual challenges in the days ahead.The future is not one that can be engaged through self-help, motivational preaching orientation as seen today. A deeper sense of spiritual quest, identity and readiness must become the gear we wear to advance the prophetic redemptive counsel of heaven for creation. To put our hope, strength and focus on the arm of the flesh will be translated to absolute failure. I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. Ecclesiastes 9:11 According to First Corinthians, we encounter one of the most critical subjects that must be addressed in the sacred place of fasting: the concept of authentic spiritual development through the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit.The Corinthian Christians present us with a sobering case study.

Yet despite this supernatural giftedness, they remained spiritual infants, as Paul later declares: "And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ" (1 Corinthians 3:1).This paradox reveals a fundamental truth: the operation of spiritual gifts does not automatically qualify one for spiritual maturity.

The science of neuron discipline states that it takes at least 21 days of repetitive practice of a particular discipline or task to alter the rigid neuron mapping of the brain that allows for certain behavioral patterns and thinking. This finding is certainly consistent with biblical studies. If we truly desire to see change, we need to engage our pattern of thinking with new perspectives and experiences that allow us to produce the fruit we desire.This means that if you desire to see specific transformation in any particular area of your life, you'll have to invest at least three weeks retraining those areas that have developed wrong habits, which are strongholds. What I've discovered is that many already have hard wiring in specific parts of their thinking (mindset) that has created predictable patterns of thinking and behavioral responses. Hence, it makes it difficult for them to see themselves changing.

It would be an understatement to say that this current season of disruptions at all levels requires a different breed of believers - those with keen prophetic insight, understanding, and maturity to address the complex challenges before us. From geopolitical disruptions to economic challenges, and the current spiritual battle engaging the church globally, fasting is required to gain clarity and understanding of God's ways. Just as we see in the days of Daniel in Babylon, who fasted for 21 days for spiritual breakthrough over the realm (Daniel 10:2-3). Daniel is a model for us as the third day ecclesia that seeks to accelerate God ‘s visionary agenda within the nations, particularly in this period of systematic complex darkness, pervading the hearts and sociopolitical landscapes of nations. Fasting enhances the renewal and development of neural pathways that allow us to see new possibilities and innovations. The Father desires us to live healthy, fruitful, and fulfilling lives. Fasting gives us a sense of sound health, peace, and quietness deep within our inner man. Every aspect of our lives needs adequate care, and fasting plays a major role in this renewal and wholeness of our entire spirit, soul, and body.Spiritual discipline lays the foundation for spiritual breakthrough and advancement. The time of fasting is a time of spiritual renewal - a time of spiritual redemption, recalibration, spiritual development and reform, rediscovery of divine intent, realignment and redirection, and restoration. This is when our prophetic knowledge and insight are greatly enhanced and empowered to further pursue the initiatives of the kingdom of God in greater light.NEED FOR DETOXIFICATION AND RE-CALIBRATION:Our intention and deep desire is to be moved to a higher position of prophetic sight, wisdom, operation, and functionality to courageously build heaven's mandate for our generation. To dethrone the works of the flesh is not a game we can play casually as we have in the past. There must be a well-defined, structured system put in place, and in this fast, fasting is a major part in dethroning the flesh and enthroning the reign of Christ over the soul.We believe fasting is important in helping us develop spiritual knowledge that enhances our sense of current revelatory knowledge and wisdom in our journey into the prophetic realities of the ascended Kingdom life and its establishment for the present season.

CULTIVATING A LIFE OF PRAYER: FROM STRUGGLE TO STRENGTHPrayer and personal devotion are intended to be wellsprings of spiritual nourishment, moments when we draw near to God for refreshment, guidance, and renewal. Yet for many believers, this sacred practice has become a source of struggle rather than strength, leaving them burdened with guilt and frustration rather than filled with peace and purpose.The reality is that most Christians find consistent, meaningful prayer challenging. Whether it's maintaining focus during prayer, knowing what to say, or simply finding the time and energy for extended communion with God, these difficulties are far more common than many realize. The enemy often uses these struggles to discourage believers, whispering lies about their spiritual maturity or God's willingness to hear them.Learning Through Community and MentorshipPrayer, like any meaningful skill, can be learned and developed. One of the most powerful ways to grow in this area is through the influence of spiritually mature believers who have cultivated deep prayer lives. This isn't about following a rigid doctrine or formula, but rather about observing and learning from those who have walked further down the path of spiritual intimacy.When we intentionally spend time with seasoned prayer warriors, whether in person, through their teachings, or by listening to messages focused on prayer and intercession—something remarkable happens. Their passion becomes contagious, their depth challenges our shallowness, and their consistency exposes our inconsistency. Almost without realizing it, we find ourselves praying longer, with greater fervency, and with increased faith.This principle of spiritual osmosis works because prayer is not merely a technique to be mastered, but a relationship to be cultivated. Just as spending time with wise friends makes us wiser, and being around encouraging people lifts our spirits, surrounding ourselves with those who take prayer seriously naturally elevates our own prayer life.Consider how exposure to focused teaching on prayer and intercession can transform your perspective. As you listen to insights about God's heart for communion, testimonies of answered prayer, and practical wisdom about developing consistency, your own hunger for prayer begins to increase. What once felt like a duty becomes a delight; what seemed impossible becomes achievable.Moving Beyond the 20-30 Minute BarrierMany believers find themselves trapped in brief, surface-level prayer sessions of 20-30 minutes, longing to go deeper but unsure how to break through. This barrier often exists not because of time constraints, but because of spiritual immaturity in the area of prayer. When we learn from those who regularly spend extended time in God's presence, we begin to understand that longer prayer sessions aren't about endurance, they're about encounters with the Spirit of the Lord.Scripture reminds us that "men ought always to pray and not lose heart" (Luke 18:1). This isn't a burden but a blessing—an invitation to constant communion with the Creator of the universe. Prayer isn't meant to be a chore we check off our spiritual to-do list, but a lifeline that sustains us throughout each day.

A fundamental aspect of overcoming the religious mindset involves viewing all aspects of life through the lens of Christ as the divine measure and pattern of thinking and acting. This encompasses our understanding of creation, history, culture, tradition, identity, relationships, ministry, business, family, leadership, governance, and every other aspect of human existence. When we fail to filter our perceptions and judgments through this Christ-centered lens, we become vulnerable to the distortions of the religious [mindset] spirit.This spirit is particularly adept at using personal experiences, especially religious ones, as channels through which it defines and interprets life. More critically, these experiences become the framework through which individuals view God, their spirituality, and by extension their interpretation of their assignments. This creates what the scripture warns about in Colossians 2:8, "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ."The religious spirit employs sophisticated methods of control and manipulation. It often establishes its authority through seemingly innocent means, using good works, prayers, fasting, hospitality, and benevolence as vehicles to gain confidence and legitimacy. This mirrors the warning in Matthew 7:15 about false prophets who "come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves."Once established, this spirit positions itself as the authoritative voice of God over various spheres – be it geographical, institutional, or spiritual. It creates systems of control that can be both overt and subtle, using what might be termed as both "hard" and "soft" power. This can include financial influence, social pressure, and spiritual manipulation, often leading to what Paul described in Galatians 5:1 as a "yoke of slavery."

THOUGHT PATTERN AND THE RELIGIOUS MINDSETJesus Christ said of the Pharisees: "You Make the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do." Mark 7:13This exploration of transformative thinking would be incomplete without addressing one of the most insidious obstacles to spiritual growth and maturity: the religious mindset. Far from being a minor theological error or concern, the religious mindset represents one of the most dangerous frameworks of thinking, plaguing a larger part of today's church. It's devastating impact extends beyond just an individual pattern of thinking; This is a well-organized systematic operation of the forces of darkness by using what sounds biblical and spiritual to do damage by dividing the Body of Christ. Its main object is to cripple the advancement of God's purpose within a society or region. May believers are living below God's divine provision and plan due to this powerful mindset.The apostle Paul's instruction to "take every thought captive and bring it into obedience to Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5) cannot be fully implemented if we ignore or casually dismiss this powerful religious system. This system operates as a demonic arsenal specifically designed to limit the advancement of God's purposes within communities, regions, and nations. "Having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people." 2 Timothy 3:5The apostle Paul's warning about those who maintain "the form of godliness but deny its power" describes one of the most challenging and deceptive positions any believer can encounter when confronting religious mindsets. This condition represents the very essence of what makes religious thinking so insidious, it provides all the external forms and displays that appear righteous and sound doctrinally correct, while systematically denying the power, values, principles, and standards that allow the authentic life of God to flow through such systems.This particular manifestation of religious mindset finds its most perfect historical expression in the system established by the Pharisees, a system whose influence extends far beyond first-century Judaism and continues to operate within contemporary Christianity and broader society. The Pharisaic model demonstrates how religious structure can become the very mechanism that prevents genuine spiritual transformation while maintaining an appearance of spiritual authority.In Mark 7:13, Jesus delivered a bold and penetrating statement that challenged the entire leadership order of His day. His words to the Pharisees and elders were uncompromising: "You make the word of God of no effect because of your tradition which you have handed down." This declaration provides crucial insight into how religious mindsets operate and perpetuate themselves across generations.On the surface level, this statement might appear to address a simple conflict between old traditions and new teaching. However, when we allow the Spirit of God to illuminate the deeper doctrinal implications of what the Pharisees were systematically doing, a far more troubling pattern emerges.

May believers are living below God's divine provision and plan due to this powerful mindset.The apostle Paul's instruction to "take every thought captive and bring it into obedience to Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5) cannot be fully implemented if we ignore or casually dismiss this powerful religious system. This system operates as a demonic arsenal specifically designed to limit the advancement of God's purposes within communities, regions, and nations. "Having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people." 2 Timothy 3:5The apostle Paul's warning about those who maintain "the form of godliness but deny its power" describes one of the most challenging and deceptive positions any believer can encounter when confronting religious mindsets. This condition represents the very essence of what makes religious thinking so insidious, it provides all the external forms and displays that appear righteous and sound doctrinally correct, while systematically denying the power, values, principles, and standards that allow the authentic life of God to flow through such systems.This particular manifestation of religious mindset finds its most perfect historical expression in the system established by the Pharisees, a system whose influence extends far beyond first-century Judaism and continues to operate within contemporary Christianity and broader society. The Pharisaic model demonstrates how religious structure can become the very mechanism that prevents genuine spiritual transformation while maintaining an appearance of spiritual authority.

The art of intercession is beyond our traditional concept of prayer. It calls us into a deep and profound comprehension of a sacrificial way of lifestyle that collaborates with the forces of heaven to bring about reformation and transformation to society. It flows from a selfless heart, fully and wholly devoted to God's kingdom purposes and prophetic mandate for man and creation. When we intercede, we step into a sacred calling, standing in the gap in relentless love and courage, aligning earthly realities with the divine will to shift the course of human affairs for individuals, communities, and entire nations.At its core, intercession is an act of love; it's an intentional, Spirit-led intervention on behalf of others. It's the moment when a human heart aligns with God's heart, pleading for His mercy, justice, and purposes to manifest in the earth. Whether it's for a family member, a city, or an entire nation, intercession carries the weight of heaven's redemptive plan. The Bible is filled with examples of intercessors who changed the course of history through their relentless, heartfelt prayers: Daniel, Nehemiah, Abraham, Moses, and countless others who stood before God on behalf of broken people and wayward nations.Consider Daniel's story in Babylon (Daniel 10). From the moment he began to pray, God dispatched an answer, but a spiritual adversary, the prince of Persia, hindered the response for 21 days. Daniel's persistence in prayer, coupled with angelic intervention, ultimately broke through the resistance. This account reveals a critical truth: intercession is not just a spiritual exercise; it's a confrontation with unseen forces that seek to oppose God's will. It requires tenacity, spiritual insight, and a deep understanding of the agencies at play in the spiritual realm.Intercession is heaven's ordained mechanism for transformation. If a nation is to experience revival, renewal, or restoration, it begins with a people who understand the ministry of intercession. These intercessors are the forerunners of change, the ones who labor in prayer to align earthly realities with heaven's purposes. But to be effective, intercession demands more than fervent prayers; it requires a clear understanding of the spiritual dynamics involved and a heart fully surrendered to God's redemptive plan.

THOUGHT PATTERN AND THE RELIGIOUS MINDSETJesus Christ said of the Pharisees: "You Make the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do." Mark 7:13This exploration of transformative thinking would be incomplete without addressing one of the most insidious obstacles to spiritual growth and maturity: the religious mindset.

Genesis 6: 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time. 6 And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.Understanding the recognition of corrupt or distorted human character as part of man's fallen nature provides a clear framework for identifying the underlying causes of carnal thought processes and other unhealed emotional desires, needs, and tendencies. This insight helps us determine effective ways to address these issues. One of humanity's inherent traits, following disobedience to Jehovah and being cast out of God's paradise, is spiritual blindness and death, also known as corruption.Death, the decaying and collapse of man's ethical moral spiritual identity and standard, became the core operating system of life outside the Garden of Eden. Adam, the first man, was not only stripped of his spiritual relationship with his creator but also lost his legitimate administrative authority and influence to govern and regulate his own life and the earth he was placed in charge. Man lost his divine consciousness, compass and the direction of existence and became enslaved to a strange foreign system of operation governed through his fallen soul faculty. The word of God revealed that following the fall of man in the Garden was an inherent inclination of perpetually evil desires and behavior (Genesis 6:5). This resulted in the loss of man's capacity to express truth, justice, righteousness, love and goodness, allowing corruption to permeate both individual lives and the entire human race and creation. Consequently, everything that man seeks, thinks, desires and does become driven by selfish ambition, which ultimately fosters all forms of destructive tendencies. Corruption became man's identity, representing the decline and decay of human godly nature. The Sinful nature grew and thrived, becoming the very embodiment of man's operating system; a self-centred character that only seeks to fulfill personal gratification and desires at any cost.Those who live under the influence of the fallen Adamic nature lack the power or will to undergo self-transformation according to the word of God, except such a person undergoes the transformation of his nature from the old lifestyle, which begins with Salvation. No individual, regardless of their willpower, kindness, or intelligence, can summon the strength to rise above the sinful nature, which is basically a deliberate conscious thought life pattern. This is why Paul advised the brethren in Rome, as outlined in Romans 12:1-3, and, by extension, all followers of Christ today, to offer [their spirit, soul, and body] themselves daily to God as a living sacrifice, which is their assigned duty of worship and service unto God.The core message here is to bring the flesh, the carnal Adamic nature, which has become selfish in its desires, into submission to God's will and plan for their existence. Embracing this life of joyful sacrificial submission is the key, not only to neutralizing the will and desires of the fallen human nature, but also to granting individuals access to understanding and accepting God's perfect will for every situation.

REDEFINING LEADERSHIP IN AN UNCHARTED SEASONS: RISING BEYOND THE LIMITATIONS."For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven" (Ecclesiastes 3:1)We undoubtedly find ourselves today on the brink of an ending era, transitioning into an uncertain landscape that compels us to reconsider how we engage with life and our ordained visionary calling and purpose. Yesterday's certainties no longer provide the necessary faith, assurance, and hope to navigate today's reality of existence. To remain relevant, we must enhance and upgrade our visionary insights. It's essential to shift our thoughts and perspectives as we engage with the current epoch we are experiencing.Leadership is often called upon in times of great crisis where people have lost hope, direction, faith, and courage to carry on. This pattern is often witnessed in history, particularly in the history of the children of Israel. Consider Daniel, who after seventy years in exile was able to kickstart the process of returning God's people from Babylon. Through his unwavering faith and prophetic intercession, he became the catalyst for a movement that would restore a displaced nation to their promised inheritance (Daniel 9:1-27). Similarly, Nehemiah emerged as a rebuilding leader who was able to kickstart the process of reconstructing a nation totally in ruins, with burnt gates and broken walls, transforming Jerusalem from a place of reproach into a testimony of God's restoration power (Nehemiah 1:1-4, 2:17).These examples reveal a profound spiritual value and principle: God strategically positions certain individuals to serve as divine catalysts in seasons when circumstances seem hopeless and restoration appears impossible. They demonstrate that effective leadership in crisis requires more than natural ability; it demands spiritual discernment, prophetic vision, and the courage to act when others are paralyzed by the magnitude of the challenges of their time. There are divinely appointed periods and seasons in our lives when Heaven mandates us to return to the drawing board, to courageously re-examine our strength, strategy, and spiritual resources both as followers and leaders.
