YOUR MIN1STRY AND YOUR ANCESTRY The battles of life are common to all and sundry, therefore the fact that you are a minister does not erase your ancestral roots. To this end, many pastors, ministers and church leaders are ignorant of the impact ancestral factors have on the lives of men and women of Cod. A lot of ministers who have failed in the ministry could not really understand the reason(s) behind their failures. Some are even blinded to the fact that they have battles to fight. These battles are deeply entrenched in the foundations of many ministers of the gospel and if something is not done urgently, many more will die miserably without fulfillingtheir destinies. While the battles and challenges faced by those who are not ministers are ordinary, the battles faced by ministers are complicated and advanced in nature. This book exposes you to those battles, how to tackle them and it explains what you need to do to deal with them and be permanently free from them. Be blessed on this journey of discovery and recovery.

Why should anyone think of fighting battles in the area of marriage?...Is there anything spiritual about marriage?...Is marriage not a mere union between a man and a woman? Good questions! Marriage is more than a union. There is more that meets the eye when a man who comes from his own background decides to be joined in wedlock with a lady who comes from another background. Beloved, your marriage rises or falls on your ancestry. Unknown to many people, the extent they will go in the area of marriage has been predetermined by their ancestors. And no matter what you have achieved today, there was a day when you came to this world as a helpless infant. Though your navel, which today, has been separated from your umbilical cord may be seen as an ordinary part of the body. It should actually remind you that it was formerly the rope that tied you to your parents and by extension, your ancestors who lived hundreds of years ago. This is a deep spiritual understanding you must not ignore. Just as there is no human being without a navel, there is no man or a woman who was not formerly linked to his or her parents through the umbilical cord.
