Hello
friends, how body? I believe you have been doing well in this
our Buhari economy. It’s like everything around us in Nigeria at a time like
this has something to do with Buhari. But, you know what, pals? This too
shall pass. How long it will take is what we may not know but it is a certainty
that we’ll get past this period. Victorious and still living, of course. Don't lose your enthusiasm.
So I started
a post on my top ten list of most impactful Christian and self-development
books last week. In this week’s post, I’ll be giving the remaining five. I hope
the list pushes you to read (if you have not read any or some of them) and read
some more (if you have read all ten already).
#6 The Law of Recognition by Mike Murdock
This is
my first Murdock book and I have not yet recovered from it. I referred to it in
my ‘Boosting your Self Image’ post.
In the
Law of Recognition, you find laws that can help you recognise things as the voice of the Holy Spirit, an uncommon mentor, a God-inspired idea, your
assignment, your dominant weakness and a whole lot of other important things. It is not a fat book but it’s got thirty one
chapters.
I think
it should be read more than twice. I have only had one read by the way.
#7 Point
Man by Steve Farrar
Yes, I
am a Steve Farrar person! I remember being called point man by a friend of mine
while I read this book. There was this feeling of manly pride that broke out from within whenever she called me that. God
is actually, through Farrar, raising a generation of point men.
Like
some of the books I read that season, Farrar pushed me to study the Word and
pray more and also to be more accountable. I love the part where he refers to his
being raised by an oak of righteousness, his dad. How I desire to be that kind
of parent to my kids!
I still
have a chapter left unread though situations have thrown me into the book a
couple of times. I hope to read that chapter soon. It must be said, however,
that Point Man should be read by not
just men…
#8 Battlefield
of the Mind by Joyce Meyer
Two
things about Joyce Meyer I like. One, sincerity. She’s open enough to share her
own experiences, struggles and even more.
Two,
simplicity.
Battlefield
of the Mind is one book that will help you understand the
power God has imbued in our minds and most importantly, the fact that our minds
need to be aligned to scriptures if we must be fruitful at all.
I should add that you can’t be a slow reader
when reading Meyer.
#9 The Principles and Power of Vision by Dr.
Myles Munroe
Deep insights into the mystery that vision is
are what this book contains. So many points need to be read and re-read and
re-re-read… It is one of the books I think should be read early enough in life.
This is what I am reading now and (God!) what
we have therein is mind-blowing. I learnt it is one of the books in a series. I’ll
definitely get the remaining books when next I am stocking. This is a must-get
book for a child of God. It is a book that recounts some visions the author
had. As much as it revolves around the life eternal, it addresses in clear
terms, issues that pertain to living right while we remain on this terrestrial
ball.

I look forward to hearing for you in the
comments section. Thanks for reading and do enjoy the rest of the week. Keep
reading!
