Last week, I showed you the relevance of dreams, with their demands, if you must achieve maximum success in life.
This week, I will teach on the second pillar of success—Identity. Wisdom demands that you sit down and locate the treasures of God inside you. A wise man said, “Find out what you truly love doing and build your daily agenda around it.”

THE Nigerian Church has, not without reason, come under intense vilification in recent times with its leadership accused of taking advantage of the pervading poverty in the land to hoodwink cash-strapped citizens, in want of miracles, who easily enrich the Church with their widow’s mite, while the pastors lead very flambouyant lifestyles.

This week, as I conclude this series, I will teach on the power of covenant dreams. We live in the dreamer’s world. Dreamers rule the world! Dreamers shape history! Dreamers set the pace! Dreamers blaze the trail! Dreamers lead the way! What is a Covenant Dream?
