You are born to hit a particular target. Getting saved isn't about just joining a church, joining Christian trends but it is rather about allowing the Holy Spirit to set you on fire to express God Almighty, to love others unconditionally, to walk humbly with God Almighty and grow into the character of Christ. It is a complete awakening altogether. The responsibility of power is knowing that you can manipulate people and things into your favour but you still decide to act in the best interest of your principles and values. God Almighty seeks to find in us servants. If there is servitude in us, the earth and everything in it is ours to use and to enjoy for His glory and purpose. Maturity is not utterance of wise words but rather the application of the very words. The kind of spirits that enslave a person are evident in a person's actions and words. Wise men have in-depth experiences behind the proverbs loudly spoken by fools. v | P age A lot of people want God's silver and gold but not God Almighty Himself. That is exactly where the problem is. God Almighty doesn't just give His seekers silver and gold without building His heart in them. There is greater responsibility to everything God Almighty blesses you with. Stewardship requires character and love. Love is the only virtue that creates a perfect world. Apart from love, hypocrites are evident everywhere. Remember the value of time, worth of sacrifice, benefit of effort, virtue of patience, success of perseverance, dignity of simplicity, power of kindness, Joy of charity, importance of morality and the peace of contentment. There is a higher dimensional walk with God Almighty that will make you look like an insane person because your life in that very season will not make sense to anybody. You are called to impact the lives that God Almighty vi | P age long chose. Your life's call is territorial, specific and durational. You can find purpose and not find God Almighty but you cannot find God Almighty and not find purpose. Passion is everywhere but fulfilment is God’s. Three dangerous people to come across in your pursuits: 1. A promiscuous and flattering woman who holds keys to doors you need to enter. 2. An evil man who has fundamental skills required for the success of your project. 3. A person who isn't passionate about their work. These three will definitely punish your integrity. When I was younger, I went on to explain and now that I am older, I instruct and experience explains clearly. This book comprises of brief instructions that when carried out yield great results and peacefulness. vii | Page 20 LAWS OF DYING IN POWER By Njabulo Chriswell Sithole viii | Page LAW 1 K EEP SECRETS T he best way to keep power over others is to keep their secrets even if they reveal yours or even if they provoke you to reveal theirs. If you can manage to forget the secrets you keep then you are free from remembering. Every organisation is built on secrecy. Every leader has a confidant that takes many secrets to grave. Families trace back to dangerous and dirty secrets everywhere. God Almighty himself doesn't work with a man with a big mouth. You must have an intense level of secrecy otherwise you cannot be trusted or entrusted. 1 | P age LAW 2 O UTSMART YOUR ENEMIES U se your enemies to get what you want. Mislead them into creating traps that will help you get you close to what you want. Use your enemies as valuable instruments of feedback to improving your life, products or services. Distract monitoring spirits. Always falsely present your failures, be it in your projects or family situations just to distract monitoring spirits. Have monitoring spirits idolize your failures while you peacefully succeed in the other meaningful ventures. Guard factors around your elevation! Sometimes it's not that you aren't humble enough to be exalted by God Almighty. It is the attitudes of the friends and the partner you have that are a stumbling block for your elevation by God Almighty. These friends and partner you have will ridicule those who God Almighty assigns to your help, praise you out of portion to ignite pride and undermine those in lower 2 | P age
