Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist, yet whoever is least in the Kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

_Mathew 11:11-15

From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. Whoever has ears, let him hear.

God has called each one of us to either business, ministry, industries, leadership etc...that we often feel disqualified But what God is saying is that it is time to study not to speak, so as to know the difference then only will you never worry because you studied before you stood up!

We need to know that when God is about to take us to another level, it is a prompt that calls us to learn about where God is taking us.

Maybe you are wondering....Why can’t I speak the way I used? or create the way I used to? or move situations the way I used?

But God is saying to you NOW is the time you are supposed to be learning about where I AM taking you. And therefore you cannot move and function the way you used to instead it is time to adapt and establish your AQ - Adaptability.

God is asking you - what is your AQ in friendships meaning how have you been relating? What is your AQ in business? -With all the challenges what has been our ability to adapt to the times. No matter what your product is have you been able to adapt to the times and seasons in which your consumers can still get your product.

Adaptability is key. It is everything! We need to have high adaptability quotient so as to deal with unexpected changes.

AQ - in short is the ability to adjust course / products / services/ strategy in response to unanticipated changes in the market, home, church, nation.

When we are able to master this then we will be able to shift and move with the flow.

THE ART OF WAR

We need to be alert on war strategy that God let’s us in to. In the Art of War, our adaptability is very important. How we adapt to the surprises that come in our lives is very important.

But the Art of War when you are going to engage in a battle that will yield victory, what is most important is that you just don’t adapt to the surprises but you recognise you are the surprise!!!

Military Quote

In conflict direct confrontation will lead to engagement and surprise will lead to victory! Those who are skilled in producing surprises will win.

- You need God to help you strategies on how to produce surprises for victory.

- You need to recognise that your life is supposed to take life in itself by surprise.

- When we talk about being the element of Surprise it is not you just being able to adapt to the surprises of life, but it is about you turning the tables and surprising the surprises of life!

Surprising Statistics

Surprising what everyone thought you would be or everyone thought you would turn out to be but because you recognised you are the surprise the generational curse in your family ran into a surprise when it ran into you!

Adaptability is great, but when you start turning the tables and realise that you can adapt to life or you can force life to adapt to your normal life......that is when we say the tables begin to turn and you become a strategy in God’s arsenal.

God did not send you here on earth so that you can have a good time or have stability, never have to fight, never have to worry etc NO. God sent you down here on earth because you are a strategy He intended or intends to use!
