Summary

How can Christians effectively engage today's world while staying true to Scripture? Calling us to listen well to both the Word and the world, John Stott shows how Christianity can preserve its authentic identity and remain relevant to current realities. With the God's Word for Today series, pastor Tim Chester has updated Stott's classic book The Contemporary Christian and made it accessible to new generations of readers.
In The Disciple, Stott explores four often-neglected aspects of Christian discipleship in light of Scripture. First, followers of Jesus should be good listeners—to God, one another, and the world. Second, both the mind and emotions have an indispensable place in discipleship, and we should understand how they relate to each other. Third, how do we discover God's will for our lives, and what does the Bible tell us about guidance, vocation, and ministry? Finally, the primary distinguishing mark of a Christian is the first fruit of the Spirit: love.
Following Christ encompasses all of life, and today's world desperately needs disciples who embrace their full God-given potential.

    Coronavirus (COVID-19) is one of the major plagues currently haunting the earth. 
The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has so far infected and killed thousands of people worldwide and has been branded a global pandemic. 
Several nations are reporting not just infections from the outbreak, but deaths! 
 
Authorities say the numbers of dead and infected could keep multiplying for weeks or months. 
 
This virus has emptied the streets of proud cities, national and international airlines have been grounded. Schools have been closed, entertainment and sporting events are closed, businesses and offices are closing down on a daily basis because of the fear of this deadly pandemic called Coronavirus. Even friendly handshakes are now avoided to elbow shakes. 
 
There is a need to pray that God should stop the virus from spreading further. We will pray for the spread of the virus to stop, the virus should lose its power. 
God is a supreme being, He has power over everything, and our prayer of healing and prevention of Coronavirus would cause God to put a stop to it. 
 
Psalm 107:20- ‘’He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.’’ 
 
While praying, we should pray for those that have been affected by the virus that God Himself should heal them. 
 
The Bible made us understand that God is a powerful healer, He can stretch forth His hands and heal millions of people in a second. 
 Enough of people dying from the virus, we will be praying God should heal everyone that has been affected by the virus. 
 
The scripture says for we bear the mark of Christ, let no man trouble us. 
We must pray that the hands of God be upon each and every one of us and protect us from this demonic virus. 
 
Exodus 15:26- “And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.”

Some of the principalities that did not keep their first estate and habitation but entered into the waters when they were defeated by angels loyal to God are referred to as Marine spirits. They have millions of evil spirits under their control both on land and in the sea troubling mankind.
 
Almost all the mysterious happenings on earth emanates from the principalities in charge of the marine kingdom also referred to as water spirits. Though they operate on land to cause havoc but their main domain here on earth is in the sea where they attempt to control everything in the sea. (Mark 5:1-18).
 
In times of attack against humanity, they go in legions, about two thousand in number with all manner of problems. You need this book to wrestle against them in other to fulfill your destiny.
 
The existence of the satanic marine kingdom is as real as the sun and moon in the sky. Unfortunately, while active satanic worshipers interact regularly and spend time in this kingdom, many church Pastors and Christians are totally ignorant of its existence and activities on earth

    We have an enemy within and outside. Basically, in this book, we shall be discussing the enemy within. They are called household wickedness. 
One of the biggest problems confronting mankind today is the problem of household wickedness. It is not difficult to state that what makes a wall fall is within its foundation. It is always said that a house rat tells the bush rat that there is fish in the house. 
  
Equally, it is the thief inside that opens the door for the thief outside to access what is in the house. Your greatest adversity maybe from your own immediate family, neighbors, and friends. 
Household represents one’s immediate or extended family. It could also mean your friends or neighbors. It sometimes could mean the people closest to you who have information about you. 
You cannot really hide your nakedness or secrets before your household relations. They know your strength, failure, and successes. They know your prayers and sometimes your expectations. This book will help you to discover your enemy and win the battles of life.

    Introduction 
‘’And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.’’                                                                                
                                                                                            Luke 24:49 
  
Friend, it is time to walk in power and authority! You are a creature of power; you have to become conscious of the power in your walk with God. Power is the ultimate! It’s time to walk into your liberty and get to your Canaan land! Your land flowing with honey and milk is waiting for you to possess. 
In my country, Nigeria, we have three major tribes namely the Hausa’s, the Yoruba’s and the Ibo’s.  The Ibo men are looking for money and they have it. Yoruba men are looking for education and they have it. Hausa men are looking for power and they have it. But the Hausa men are controlling both those with money and those with certificates. A man in power can control a man with money and with degrees. You can hate a man with power but you are still under him. You can speak grammar more than him but you are still under him. Just one decision he will make can affect your source of money. 
That is why Jesus did not promise His disciples money or scholarships. But he said: ‘’ And ye shall receive power……… 
Because He understands that there are powers of darkness that are on assignment against our lives. Do not just pray for promotion in the office. Pray for promotion in the school of power. No matter how religious you are, Pharaoh won’t let you go without a demonstration of power. Your grammar, your education or your money makes no difference. 
Friend, the kingdom of God is not in words, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of POWER! (1 Cor.2:4). 
 The power I am talking about is the RESURRECTION POWER! 
 In the book of John 11:25, ‘’Jesus said unto her (Martha), I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me though he were died, yet shall he live.’’ 
     The resurrection power is the power that makes alive! It is the power that creates! It is the power that will ascend you to glory! This power will give you ceaseless open doors, breakthroughs and victory in life! The resurrection Power is not a theology; it is a person. 
     The resurrection power is the ultimate power for the believers! 
  
In this book, you are going to have an unforgettable encounter with His resurrection power. Can you cry to heaven for His power this day?
