CONTENDING WITH HORSES (PART 1)
The goal of ‘Contending with Horses’ is raising an army of global Icons, in various fields, who would develop and maintain an UNBEATABLE spirit.
Leaving Living Legacies
It has been observed over the years that many churches, nations, organisations, businesses and institutions are unable to outlive their founders or owners with the same or even more dynamism and excellence. Others are not able to sustain and improve upon the standards that were set up from the foundation.
Some fade with time even in the lifetime of the founders, owners or leaders. Quite a number of them plateau whiles others lose their steam. This realisation is the critical challenge that Transreladership seeks to address. Transreladership is not just a subject to be taught. It is a movement and a global agenda towards leaving living legacies.
Transreladership
It is required of the processes and landmarks, in the road map, of any organisation to be carefully developed, critically examined, well packaged and effectively communicated.
This will help win the confidence of all stakeholders and build their faith in the road map.
How Come?
How will a man from Nazareth; born in a manger, with little travel experience; with few schooled disciples with little training; about three years of ministry; crucified and buried in a borrowed tomb make such a great impact around the world? How come after over two thousand years, He still remains the main influence of lives? with over 2.3 billion followers, which is about 32 percent of the world’s population.
Interestingly, this man’s legacy still lives on and the big question is HOW COME? -TRANSRELADERSHIP

TRANSRELADERSHIP
ABSTRACT
Transreladership (TRL), a concept developed by Acquah[1], is defined as ‘the ability to produce remarkable, tangible and lasting changes, through intentional connectivity and creating of followers who are willing and capable of achieving a goal’.
Transreladership develops the ability of leaders and followers to make changes that are progressively remarkable. That is changes that are ground-breaking and breath-taking, with a lasting impact that can withstand the challenges of different generations. These are changes that can make people look into the future and hold their shoulders high with confidence that they can face tomorrow even with greater relevance. It gives them great insight into current issues and an understanding of future trends. Accordingly, they become well-positioned to be a brand that people would love to come into contact with and would want to gladly associate with. It is a change that never dies.
This kind of transformation cannot be achieved on a silver platter. It should be a transformation that is born out of working in the heart of people to cause them to will and to take action towards the fulfilment of set goals. It calls for being intentional in winning the hearts of people and endearing them to be committed and dedicated to the course. It does not employ intimidation, threats or compulsion.
Again, transreladership seeks to provide the skill to be able to create the required following by putting in place interventions that would sharpen the skills of leadership and followers alike. So, with skilful hands and a great touch of excellence, the goals would be achieved, which is the ability to create remarkable, tangible and lasting changes, through intentional connectivity and creating of followers who are willing and capable of achieving a goal.
Transreladership runs with the main vision of connecting hearts and leaving living legacies. The main tagline is thus Connecting Hearts! Leaving Living Legacies!. It seeks to produce tangible and lasting TRANSFORMATION in any sphere of life through the effective combination of solid RELATIONSHIP and LEADERSHIP.
Transreladership begins with a decision and a call, continues with a drive that is irresistible and unbeatable and achieves goals with lasting impact and impression. Transreladership does not only look at external changes but most importantly internal transformation. It does not only look at getting results or achieving goals but also focuses on changing the character, charisma and conduct of both leader and followers. They make an imprint that can never be washed away and write their own history and leave footprints in the annals of humanity with an indelible mark.
Transreladership is not about strong men and systems; it is about moving the heart of people, young and old, in a particular direction. It is the capacity to provide the right inspiration, impartation and institutional framework for a team, thereby facilitating the development of abilities and skills of team members needed to bring about the desired change. It is about getting results through the building of solid relationships and creation of willing followers without any form of compulsion. The key point here is the ability to create even if it does not exist. It swallows up excuses and is able to declare, IT IS FINISHED.
[1] Tansreladership is a concept that was developed by Emmanuel Kwesi Acquah and first published via Facebook on April 5th, 2019
Raising Pentecostal Champions
Raising Champions According to the Pentecostal Pattern
The Case of David
- David was very young believed to be a teenager when he was anointed.
- He was not even counted as worthy enough to be invited and sanctified 1Sam.16:1-13
- David had some personal attributes 1Sam 16:18
- Skillful
- Mightily Brave
- Man of war – warrior
- Prudent in matters-wise
- Handsome
- The Lord was with him
The Champion Goliath
- Philistine-uncircumcised
- Defied the army of Israel
- An enemy
David’s Challenges
- His own brethren and the leadership
- False accusation
- Pride
- Naughtiness of heart
- Interested in shows and just being adventurous
- Was despises and mistrusted eg
- Thou art not able
- Though art but a youth
- Others or the enemy was said to be stronger
How he overcame and became a champion as a youth
- He had been anointed and the Spirit of God was upon him
- Subjected himself to divine training as a shepherd
- A good and loving shepherd who was willing to:
- Lay his life for the sheep
- Went after attackers
- Defend the sheep
- Protect
- Deliver the attacked sheep
- He stayed with Saul learning the practical rudiments of leadership – even though he had been anointed.
- Very serviceable – served Saul, the father and the brethren
- Had passion and zeal (1 Sam 17:26) about the name of the Lord and the people of God – in our case the name of the Lord and the church
- Was reward driven
- He also knew that the Spirit upon him was for a purpose – Is there not a cause? Vs. 29
- Exercised boldness and willingness to go to battle –
- Was not side tracked by mistrust, despise and negative comments eg
- Thou art not able
- Though art but a youth
- Others or the enemy is stronger
- Had a testimony and relied on the God who gave him the testimony 17 vs 34-37
It should be noted that he was not relying on past glories but was relying on the God who gave him the past glories
- Was not prepared to trust in the arm of flesh knowing that he had not proven them vs 39. Trusting in God he was prepared to make do with what he had or was used to
- We must learn to take off any unproven armory and practices
- His outlook and orientation vs 45 –
- Went on battle in the Name Of The Lord Of Host, The God of the armies of Israel
- Confession of faith
1Sa 17:46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
- Motivation was for all to know that there is a God in Israel not that he was powerful, righteous, strong etc
- Recognized that the battle was the Lord’s
- Finally, He went on the offensive and did not rather sit down for the enemy to attack him
LESSONS FOR US AS YOUTH BEING RAISED AS CHAMPIONS ACCORDING TO THE PENTECOSTAL PATTERN
- Be filled with the Holy Ghost and Power Acts 1: 8
- Be prepared to serve and learn from our fathers and leaders/Jesus and the Apostles, Paul and Timothy
- Train to be very skillful with whatever we have: gifts, talents, exposure experiences etc./Paul Expert builder 1cor 3:10
- A good and loving shepherd who was willing to: 1 Sam. 17:34,
- Lay his life for the sheep/willing to loose our comfort
- Went after the attackers/ We must be able to identify such
- Destroyed the predator/destroy what would destroy our youth. Defend the sheep
- Protect
- Deliver the attacked sheep
- Heavenly reward driven. Our motivation should be the reward which has been set before us Heb 12:2, Phil 3:10 – 14
- Must not be sidetracked by negative comments, mistrust and problems associated with youthfulness. At the same time watching over our lives such that the mistrust and suspicion does not come to pass/Jesus, The Disciples and the High Priest and Pharisees
- Know our enemy’s armory 1Sa 17:45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield cp 1Cor 12:11
Today it is not sword, spear etc but among others:
- Changes in Family structures: Increased rate of separation and divorce, parental neglect, relational deprivation, violence.
- Pluralism in Belief: All religions ultimately lead to God with the youth experimenting with all kinds of religious beliefs.
- Post Christian Thinking: Secular humanism i.e. man is basically good. Right determined by what feels good at a time.
- Postmodernism (Anything goes syndrome)–
- Individual’s identity is inseparable from what he does, thinks and believes.
- Religious and moral decisions are personal desire and opinion. And as Gene Veith puts it “The only wrong Idea is to believe in truth; the only sin is to believe in sin”
- Does not accept that objective truth exists. Anyone who claims to hold an objective truth that unfavorably judges the values, believes or lifestyles of another person is intolerant and bigoted.
- Music and Media Impact. Music has become the language of the youth and the media their parents
- Occultism Craze. Ironically as young people reject God, they are becoming increasingly exposed to the occult. Young people are recruited into Satanism, often by peers with a desire for supernatural power, sex and drugs.
- False teachings, doctrines and spirituality
- His outlook and orientation vs 45 – We should reflect same
- Went on battle in the Name Of The Lord Of Host, The God of the armies of Israel
- Confession of faith –
1Sa 17:46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
Faith in God and in his faithfulness Acts 3:16
- Motivation was for all to know that there is a God in Israel not that he was powerful, righteous, strong etc/Let all Israel know …… that … Acts 4:8-12
- Recognized that the battle was the Lord’s
- Battle in the name of the Lord 1Sa 17:45b …. but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. Acts 4:10-12
- We must take the battle to enemy through aggressive prayers, bible study and evangelism / power evangelism Acts 4:24-33, Acts 6:12, 8:1
