Expressing Ministry With Wordpress

By Sunday Joseph Adenuga

The second way to build a free website that will give you a more professional outlook and make your website really be able to get more features is wordpress which is a better platform to have than blogger. You can get to wordpress through this link at http://wordpress.com, and it will be a very sweet experience for you to start your own very first website all for free with no string attached. I have at least three websites with wordpress, one of them is at http://successgalore.wordpress.com you may just click the link and see my own website. I have another one called http://internetchurch.wordpress.com. I encourage you to go to these sites and just see how I have done mine to help you in creating yours to make it even a better looking website than mine. Is is an easy thing to start a wordpress site with little or no guidance from anybody, but you will have to work very hard to understand the terms used and how each gadget works. This is so because it is much more complicated than the blogger platform, you need to understand this, you may need trainning and asistance to master wordpress. Go now to www.wordpress.com, then click on sign-up button, in the next window, fill in the form and submit it, follow all the instructions to open a website of your own, type in your desired website name something like www.yourchurch.wordpress.com.

Remember that creating a wordpress blog is as easy as A B C, but you have to learn the art of updating the content of your website with fresh contents like articles, pictures, audio messages, or even video recordings of your messages. You do all these from your admin panel called the dashboard as explained in the case of blogger.

I have about thirteen video tutorials that teaches in vivid terms how to set up a word press, customise it with your your graphics, use plugins, and beautiful themes that will make your website looking great and professional. If you like, I can sell the CD to you for only N3700, it sells for N5500 regularly, but to encourage you as a pastor and to contribute to your ministry I bring the price down to N3700 only. If you will have a professional website blog for your church now or in future, you are highly advised to get the CD now. This video tutorial will teach you everything you need to know about wordpress. This video tutorial teaches you how to upload new themes, install plugins, use google analytics and many other features you cannot know or understand unless you are taught. All the 13 video tutorials go for only N3700 for pastors and ministers, it is N5500 for all others.

International Dimension To Your Ministry

By Pastor Sunday Joseph Adenuga

Hi, my name is Sunday Joseph Adenuga, I am the Senior Pastor and Founder of The Success Dimension Church, Ibadan, Nigeria. When God called me, He gave me a mandate to teach people how to succeed in spite of any difficulties they may ever be going through in their lives. This implies that I have the mandate, the ministry and the assignment to help as many people as I can to make a success of their lives despite problems, difficulties or challenges that they may be facing at the moment.

This is a clear call, but I have a challenge, and it is this, how do I get many people around the world to hear this good news? I have the cure for people's problems but nobody knows I have the solution, how do I get people to know that I have God's word that can bring them success in the midst of their difficulties? I know that Radio and Television are a great means of blasting my beliefs and teachings to the world but they are too expensive and unaffordable for me at this initial stage of my ministry. I thought for a while and then decided to begin the production of a quarterly magazine which I distributed free of charge, but due to financial limitation at that time, I could only reach my immediate environment, but my target was the whole world.

I knew it was time to do something as fast as possible to get the message out to those going through difficult times that they too can succeed in spite of difficulties. I needed to reach the whole world with the message, to teach as many people as I can the principles God asked me to teach them that will surely help them to succeed in spite of any difficulties they may be going through in life.

At a point in time the idea of Internet Ministry came to my heart, even though I did not have a personal Internet ready computer, I could still have an Online Ministry to the people around the world by using the available cybercafes around me. Thank God I now have my own internet ready computer, if you don't have you can start the way I started - using cybercafe. I knew it would favor me, it would be able to do the following if only I can invest some little amount of money and time:

(1) Have a free website/blog to post all my teachings
(2) Another website free or paid to show the world all my ministry activities
(3) Preach on video for free and have people anywhere in the world with computer and internet access to see my video presentations and hear my messages of hope.
(4) Have an audio recordings of my sermons uploaded to my website and ready to be listened to by people around the world.
(5) Sell my stuff on the internet to earn Dollars or Naira. I can sell e-books, real books, video or audio messages on CDs and DVDs or downloadable, the opportunity is vast.
(6) And many more benefit.

With the above information, I ventured into online ministry and the story of my life have changed ever since. Right now I enjoy all the above facilities, people phone me from all over the world after hearing and seeing me preach on the internet. God have used this internet ministry in my hand to bless many people around the world, more than 5000 people have downloaded my book "Winning In Life's Battles" other books have also been given freely, and many people are sending mails to thank me for allowing God to make me a blessing to them. Many are now happy and willing to support my ministry and offerings are now coming in through foreign currencies like Dollars and Pound Sterling, praise God.

What Success Really Mean?

By Sunday Joseph Adenuga

There are many definitions of Success as there are many people on the face of the earth. The idea that I am trying to sell to you in this book is summarized as follows, “You too can become as successful as you ever desired.”

Success is the ability to set a goal and accomplish it in record time. The synonyms of success are achievement, accomplishment, victory, triumph, hit the target, winner, sensation, and so on. The opposite of it is failure. What one considers a success, another may see as nothing meaningful or important. For example, a man that set out to climb Mount Everest is going to consider himself a success only after climbing the highest mountain on planet earth. Failure to accomplish this feat will point out to our man that he has not succeeded yet. Though presently, he may be a millionaire, but something is lacking, a goal yet to be fulfilled, this will cause a lot of heartache until that mountain is subdued, he doesn’t see himself as a success. As long as he has not climbed the great mountain, he continues to battle, plan and re-plan so that he can eventually succeed. To me, climbing Mount Everest is nothing of value to (because my interest is in something else), but it means a lot to our man who has set a goal to conquer the greatest mountain on earth.

Success therefore is the accomplishment of a purpose (or goal) that brings fulfillment, joy and satisfaction to a man. We must remember also that what a man consider a success, another man may see as a child’s play. When I was growing up (as a youth in the secondary school), I use to consider as nun-serious those other students whose goal in life was to excel and become stars in the field of sports. Every time they went out for practice was wasted as far as I was concerned then. Little did I know that with each practice, they were getting nearer to their life’s purpose and goal; they were getting nearer to their success; they were accomplishing their life’s vision as they went out early in the morning. I remember that I always pitied them and their parents for such waste of time, now I know better.

Success is not just accumulating a lot of money (although many people consider those who are rich as successful): Many strikingly rich people actually died lonely and unfulfilled in life. Many of them have been further destroyed because of large volume of money they do not know how to manage due to lack of vision. Success brings true joy (it is not money that brings joy), I have seen many people who are not so rich who have a lot of sense of accomplishment in life. I know that a truly successful person cannot remain poor in life, but I also know that money is not the only yardstick to measure how successful any person is in this life.

Success is not a destination but an adventure that continues to get better each day as you discover more secrets of how to better achieve your set goals with ease.

Success is not luck or winning large amount of money in a lottery, neither is it a gift. Many lucky winners of such lotteries have ended up really broke and some have died most miserable and shameful death because of their inability to maintain such life of affluence that they got from winning lotteries. Friends, sudden wealth has led more people to early grave than poverty. Poverty has helped more people to be wiser and better in life than sudden wealth. In fact, sudden wealth is very dangerous and should not be sought after. Go for real success that comes out of hard work and careful planning.

Success is not an inheritance. Although some inherited wealth is enough to sustain you to a life of affluence till the day of your death. Real success builds on the inherited wealth by hard-work. You cannot afford to sit down and enjoy someone's success without any input of your own. See Proverbs 20:21.

An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.

When you work hard your inheritance will give you more success, and it shall be blessed at the end. Inheritance can give you wealth only God can give you true success, see also Ecclesiastes 7:11

Wisdom is good with an inheritance: by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

Success is not traveling abroad. Remember that if you travel, you have to work twice as hard as you will at home to make anything of note because you are now in a foreign land. Except the Lord specifically is calling you out to do something definite and productive in raising other people's lives in the foreign land, then the whole effort of traveling may be meaningless.
That your friend has traveled abroad doesn't make him to be more successful than you. If traveling is your goal and the thing that will add to your joy and give you a sense of fulfillment in life then go for it. The only point is this when you get there, do all you can to help as many people as you possibly can.

Success is not just becoming the leader of a group, organization or nation. Many leaders are not truly successful; we’ve had leaders like Adolf Hitler in this world that killed about two million Jews, his end was shrouded in mystery.

Success is not being born to a rich family, it is the ability to bring wealth and comfort to a hitherto poor family and help poor friends.

Success is not popularity or acceptability of an individual in the society, although true success always attracts many people; most of them are ready to idolize the successful one. Such successful people always know how to manage the praise of men without allowing it to get to their head.

Success is discovering God’s goal and purpose for your life and pursuing the same until you have accomplished it to the maximum, and make a mark in that God’s chosen purpose for your life.

Success is inside you, failure is around you. God is Success and He is in you so says the Bible, see 1John 4:4. Satan is outside you and he is author of failure, look inward and you will discover success. Success is in you, don't look elsewhere.

Success is the ability to exhaust your entire God given talents and gifts to make this world a better place than you met it. We are talking here about the real meaning of success, it is the ability to put smiles on the faces of those whose lives touch yours; it is the ability to make men (and women) better than you met them. No matter how rich you are, if you make people bitter instead of better than you met them, then with all your money, you are a big failure.

A successful life is that which leaves others with a desire to do something worthwhile with their own lives too. I assert again that success is beyond the accumulation of wealth; it is the ability to raise up many other successful men. It is the ability to produce many other millionaires. The success of Moses became established as he was able to produce a Joshua (a successor), Elijah produced an Elisha. Jesus, the greatest success that ever happened to mankind has raised us up as successful disciples of His. We are destined by His word to tread upon serpents and scorpions; we are the ones that will put the devil to shame in these last days. Jesus Christ is alive through us in this generation; we are the miracle workers; and we are called to do those things that He Himself had done when He was here on the earth. See John 14: 12

Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do: because I go to my father.

The greater work or success your successor makes, the greater your success. When your successor cannot do greater works than you, then your success is not everlasting. A success without a successor is a failure in disguise. Are you surprised at that statement? If you succeed beyond measure, and have billions of dollars, when you die, except you have a good successor, all those wealth will be squandered and wasted. If you want to know how successful Jesus was, look around you, every Christian you see is a testimony to the success of Jesus. What? Jesus who neither bought a land, nor build a house, nor own a car. He didn’t even own a donkey not to talk of owning a fast horse, yet he is the greatest man that ever lived. Why is this so? Because he has millions of successors, those who carry on His God given purpose on earth. The purpose of destroying the works of the devil in the lives of innocent people who are bound by the forces of evil. This wonderful Jesus did not get married, produced no biological children, yet have turned many sons of men to become sons of God. We are changed from ordinary mortal to supernatural beings, we are giving to have the very life of God, we are translated from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of God and now the kingdom of God is within us. What a great success Jesus is.

To be the president of U.S or Nigeria is a success, but you see that is just the beginning of the show of success. Performing your duties in such a way that many people’s lives will be better because you are president is the REAL SUCCESS that we are talking about in this article.

By Sunday Joseph Adenuga

Pastors and Ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ must know about internet, modern technology must be used to propagate the Gospel of love which our Lord and Master Jesus Christ came to promote on planet earth. I want to highlight through this write-up the importance of internet and how pastors can use it to enhance their ministries and propagate the gospel of the Lord.

Internet is the network of computers all over the world with the purpose of sharing information and data. It is not evil neither is it the instrument of the anti-Christ as some erroneously believe.
Internet is the linking together of your own computer through broadband or dial up phone lines to other computers around the world to access data by benefiting from the information already in the world database. Internet is nothing but sharing ideas and information, communicating and socializing.

Internet helps people to communicate with each other in split seconds through e-mails internet phone, chatting, webinars, and even fax. It helps us to learn from experts in the comfort of our homes through uploaded data, we can also help others by uploading our own data to the internet and have people download free or for a fee for their own benefit. Internet is a blessing to everyone involved in it, if they do it as it should be done.

Important Aspects of the Internet

E-Mail
We are able to use e-mails addresses because of the emergence of the internet, e-mail is cheap and affordable to all and sundry, its as easy as ABC to set up. You can get free e-mail address within two to five minutes from now. The following organizations can give you free e-mail

The God Factor In Success

Image by Getty Images via Daylife

By Sunday Joseph Adenuga

God is a God of success. If you read the Bible from Genesis 1: 1-2, you will see the success of God from the very beginning.

In the beginning GOD created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, let there be light: and there was light.

In the beginning, when God created the heaven and the earth, three things happened: number one, the earth became formless; number two, the earth became void; and number three, darkness covered the earth. It was a period of confusion, but God was not confused, neither was He disturbed: He only spoke and success followed. A good look at the universe will convince you that God is a big success. Yes, He is a super success. No matter from which perspective you look and consider what success really is, God is really the biggest success. He is rich, and everything is in super abundance in the universe. Lets consider the riches of God in this our universe; as we do this you will observe with awe His wisdom, power and orderliness.

This earth contains about seven continents; they are Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, and South America. Each of these continents is a very large mass of land containing different types of living and non-living things, many countries and nations are in these continents. Apart from Antarctica (which is another mystery on earth), all other continents house millions of people of different ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds. Apart from these, there are many islands that stands alone and do not belong to any continent. Many rivers, seas and oceans surround the earth, mountains, vegetations, and a lot of natural resources are hidden in the depth of the earth. All these were created by the Almighty God and belong to God. Psalm 24: 1. The resources on earth cannot be fully comprehended; they are beyond the comprehension of any single human being no matter how brilliant he may be. Beyond the earth, we have the moon; the moon orbits the earth and revolves round it. Few people have traveled to the moon, the discovery of those men reveals that the moon is not habitable by any living being and besides the gravity of earth is different from that of the moon.

Now our earth and moon belongs to a solar system, this consist of the sun and nine planets, this earth is just one of them. There are some planets in this solar system that are far bigger than the earth in as much as one thousand times. Some planets have about eighteen moons orbiting them; and you know what? None of these planets can support any type of life apart from our planet, earth. Scientists have sent space probes to many of these planets and found out that the conditions in all these planets cannot support plant or animal life. Water does not exist in liquid form in many of these planets; some are extremely hot while some are extremely cold. The earth is the only planet found to be conducive to support plant and animal life. Another interesting thing I want you to know is the existence of asteroid belt. Containing many asteroids. Our solar system is very big; the size of it is beyond human imagination. Now when I first learnt of this I was dumbfounded, what is it? That the sun of our solar system is just a star, it belongs to a galaxy of stars called the ‘milky way’. This galaxy have about one hundred billion stars and our sun is just one of them. Do you know that this our sun even though it is a million times bigger than the earth, it is not considered as one of the big stars in the milky way galaxy. Another thing is that some of those stars may also have their own solar systems with planets orbiting them. Scientists even claimed that some stars have been discovered to have one or two planets orbiting them and that many other stars may have more than nine planets in their solar systems.

Are you following me with understanding? This is God’s creation, how big, how vast? That is not all; the Milky Way is not the only galaxy of stars in the universe, there are about one hundred billion observable galaxy of stars, and each of these galaxies also have about one hundred billion stars. WOW! Can you do the mathematics? Find out in one minute the number of stars there is in the universe, (that’s just a joke anyway). The truth is that God’s creation is so vast, so rich, there is an abundance of all things, and you can’t know everything God has created. The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 8: 17

Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

The above passage is referring to the work of God under the sun, which means this earth where we live. He is not even talking about the universe; this earth is too small when we consider the whole universe, yet no man can understand all of God’s works on this earth. The Bible also talking about God’s work says in Job5: 9
“which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvelous things without number.

Yes, nobody can number all his works; you can’t count and number all the fish we have in the rivers, seas and oceans; you can’t count and number all the houseflies in all this earth; neither can you count and number all the stars in the universe. Can you see how awesome and amazing God’s work and creation is? Nobody can imagine in totality the wealth and the riches of God. Assuming we have one hundred billion galaxies of stars and each galaxy contains one hundred billion stars, how many stars do we have altogether? The answer is one hundred billion times one hundred billion that equal a number represented by 1022. Do you know the name of that number? Please send the information to me if you know it.
Friend, do you want good success? God is the Maker and Giver of success. God gives whomsoever He loves, and the good news is that He loves you. God is a God of order and details, the God who abhors waste.

Why did He create so many uncountable stars? Of what use are they? You and I may not know but there are reasons. I love God, I respect His wisdom. If you want real and lasting success, the best place to look is unto God, look unto Him and you will never be disappointed.

The Wonders of Belief or Faith

Image via Wikipedia

By Sunday Joseph Adenuga

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever BELIEVES in HIM should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3: 16.

What is in ‘believing’ Jesus that makes it very important? Why is God’s only demand that simple? In another place the Bible says that, “whosoever believeth in Him shall not be put to shame.” In fact Christians are called believers because, in all the Gospel of Jesus Christ, this word seem to be the strongest. When Jesus was commissioning the disciples, in the book of Mark 16:15-17, we read,

“ Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that BELIEVETH and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be. And these signs shall follow them that BELIEVE: In my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak in tongues…”

The emphasis in the above passage as in all scripture is believe, the signs shall follow those who believe. These signs are the manifestation of the power of GOD; the power will come upon, and follow only those who believe. Many times, if not in all cases, the only requirement of Jesus from those seeking healing was this, “only believe”. He was always quoted as saying, “be not afraid, only believe”, or “weep no more”; this was said to the widow whose only son just died. And in another situation He said, “If thou canst believe thou shall see the glory of God”.

What is in believing that makes it so thick?

When everybody was pressing hard on Jesus, nothing happened to any of them, but a woman came with faith or believe, that if she could only touch the tip or helm of His cloth, she would be healed. This simple act of believe brought her healing from the Master Healer, the Lord of the universe, Jesus Christ the Anointed One. The force of this faith or believe drew out this virtue or power from the Lord. Many people fast and pray but could not get the job done, but when there is a heartfelt believe or faith, the miracle is always on the scene. Why is ‘believing’ so important? We read in Mark 11: 23,

Verily, verily, I say unto you, whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which he said shall come to pass he shall have whatsoever he says.

The Holy Spirit opened my understanding to know that the art of believing is the major difference between a successful man and a failure. Faith is the only difference between somebody who receives answer to his prayers and the one who do not. This same faith in God is the only difference between a saint and a sinner. Do you know that nobody will go to hell because of sins like adultery, stealing, killing, etc? People will go to hell because they have refused to believe the son of God, they refuse to believe the testimony of God that have enough power to liberate them from the power of such sins like adultery, stealing, killing, etc.
Please understand this today, it will help you, faith is a very deep and important concept of life. Believing touches the very heart of man, which is the core or center of man; faith is very spiritual, and we are spirit beings. Friend, the only avenue by which we can browse the spiritual realm is through our faith.

Faith in something has a far-reaching effect on man that last beyond this material time and realm. Have you ever seen or heard of a notorious man, maybe an armed robber, or a hard drug addict who gave his life to Jesus Christ? You see the change; it’s so obvious; that change came about because of simple faith in Jesus; that faith has changed his life and destiny. The reason is very simple to understand, you see, the faith touches his heart; your heart is your spirit, your spirit is the real you. Anything that has the power to change the real you can change everything around you: and that thing is faith. Faith flows out from your heart, your spirit and it is capable of changing everything around you called your circumstances.
