God will not trust any of us with all the gifts and abilities required for all round victory; this will breed destructive pride. God does not only want us to depend on Him, but also to depend on one another. We are created to compliment one another. The Bible says clearly that as each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God (1Peter 4:10). This book shows you why and how to start prayer partnerships. Prayer partnership is not only for young believers; many mature intercessors and fronline ministers have been saved from costly mistakes and death by the revelations and inputs of their prayer partners. Every pastor or frontline minister needs personal intercessors, or a team, working closely with them. This book discusses the raising and operations of personal intercessors and how to do team ministry. The present spiritual landscape is difficult for lone-rangers to survive for too long; it takes common sense and humility to accept that you need help. This book discusses team ministry, with testimonies; and with details on church/land deliverance. The Church will gain huge victory when pastors and leaders would stop fighting one another and employ networking as a compulsory option in spiritual warfare. The author shares deep revelations on the principles of networking. Every intercessor or minister needs to read this book!!!

Named the Best Management Book of 2021 by strategy+business Named one of "this month's top titles" in the Financial Times in September 2021 Named to the longlist for the 2021 Outstanding Works of Literature (OWL) Award in the Management & Culture category A plan for conquering collaborative overload to drive performance and innovation, reduce burnout, and enhance well-being. Most organizations have created always-on work contexts that are burning people out and hurting performance rather than delivering productivity, innovation and engagement. Collaborative work consumes 85% of employees' time and is drifting earlier into the morning, later into the night, and deeper into the weekend. The dilemma is that we all need to collaborate more to create effective organizations and vibrant careers for ourselves. But conventional wisdom on teamwork and collaboration has created too much of the wrong kind of collaboration, which hurts our performance, health and overall well-being. In Beyond Collaboration Overload, Babson professor Rob Cross solves this paradox by showing how top performers who thrive at work collaborate in a more purposeful way that makes them 18-24% more efficient than their peers. Good collaborators are distinguished by the efficiency and intentionality of their collaboration—not the size of their network or the length of their workday. Through landmark research with more than 300 organizations, in-depth stories, and tools, Beyond Collaboration Overload will coach you to reclaim close to a day a week when you: Identify and challenge beliefs that lead you to collaborate too quickly Impose structure in your work to prevent unproductive collaboration Alter behaviors to create more efficient collaboration It then outlines how successful people invest this reclaimed time to: Cultivate a broad network—not a big one—for innovation and scale Energize others—a strong predictor of high performance Connect with others to reduce micro-stressors and enhance physical and mental well-being Cross' framework provides relief from the definitive problem of our age—dysfunctional collaboration at the expense of our performance, health and overall well-being.
