A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR

In November, 2006, I wedged myself between the armrests of an airline seat and settled in for the long flight back to Kiev from one of my numerous trips overseas. Without much room to maneuver, I just leaned my head back to pray. My prayers soon turned into meditations about where I’d just been, where I was going, and the overall state of the Church worldwide. Suddenly, an image of the globe came to my mind. I could sense the burden God has for His Church to be reformed in order to be capable of gathering in the last harvest.

From that vision, I came to understand that God is not satisfied with the state of the modern Church. Most leaders I’ve met worldwide would agree that we collectively have a great deal of work left to do, regardless of the great strides we have made. With five billion people still unsaved, we must gain ground.  What struck me is that if we are to see Jesus come back any time soon, the Church must be reformed once again. What humbled me, though, was the impression that God was challenging me to do something about it. This was in direct conflict with where I was in my comfort zone of ministry at that time.

The challenge to play a role in the restoration of the Church reminded me of a time of prayer I had in spring of 2004. At that time, God challenged me to take responsibility for the Ukraine. That experience led to the events of the Orange Revolution in the Ukraine, which I thought was the ultimate. Now, I was sensing that the victories in Ukraine had only been a preparation for this new challenge.

As I prayed about the vision over the next few months, I received clear direction on my role in this latest reformation. My first duty that became abundantly clear was that I should write a book that addresses areas where the Church must have a SHIFT to leave the old and bring in the new. The result is what you are holding in your hand now: CHURCHSHIFT.

May the Lord God of heaven use this humble work to help touch and tranform His Church. I pray that the little lessons I’ve been taught behind the Iron Curtain of communism will be a blessing to the wider body of Christ.

It was the missionaries and their supporters, Bible providers, intercessors, charity workers, smugglers and martyrs sent by the West who reached my family for Christ, provided water to my village in Nigeria, then gave me materials and needed support while I struggled in my Christian walk behind the Iron Curtain. It is God’s perfect plan of sowing and reaping that He would now send me to return the benefits of all He taught me while under their care.

My prayer is that every church leader, pastor or bishop will read this book and use its workbook to make a study in home groups, cells, small groups, home churches, Sunday Schools and Bible colleges. May the lessons inside this book not be lost, but bring us all to SHIFT to help gather in the last harvest.

LET THE REVOLUTION BEGIN!

I know of no Minister around the world that is more unique and influential than Bishop Sunday Adelaja. I count him as a wonderful friend in the Kingdom and pray God’s divine protection and direction over his dynamic ministry. The supernatural principles of this book are radical, controversial and life changing. They will make ministers of the Gospel reconsider their place and calling in ministry. Our minds will be stretched and our concepts will be challenged, as they should be, for more effective 21st Century ministry, and preparation for the coming of the Lord.

— Dr. Wendell Smith,
The City Church of Seattle, USA

Sunday Adelaja is a leading figure, not only in the Ukraine, but in the world. He has a spirit of faith driven by his compassion for people. The word he speaks is one of authority!

— Billy Joe Daugherty,

Sunday Adelaja is one of those new breed of men who is influencing a nation, and modeling a new style of missions. While there are some men who see success in another church or nation and follow their example, Pastor Sunday is that example that men from around the world hear about, and follow. He is a cross-cultural missionary who has made a new mold of what missions can do, to touch a nation. I consider Pastor Sunday a modern day hero of the Faith.

— Pastor Robert Barriger,
Camino De Vida, Lima, Peru

Sunday Adelaja and I share a hero – Dr. D. James Kennedy. Through Dr. Kennedy’s passion for both the evangelism mandate and the cultural mandate, Pastor Sunday was inspired to equip his congregation to impact public life. What a mark Pastor Sunday has made on Ukraine, Europe, and the world! I applaud his vision for ministry.

— John Sorensen, Executive Vice President,
Evangelism Explosion International.

Several years ago I was discarding items from an overgrown stack of mail.  One brochure caught my eye.  As I read, I was gripped by Sunday Adelaja’s brilliant grasp of the interrelationship between biblical truths and public policy.  Instead of trashing it, I showed the article to others. If one brochure is that enlightening, think what an entire book might be.

— Dr. Jim Garlow, Senior Pastor,
Skyline Wesleyan Church San Diego, CA

The words in this book come from a man who is a living testimony.

This book provides God’s model for transformation and the mind-set of a Christ-centered revolution all from an incredible man who has lead and experienced them both.

The Great Commission includes saving souls and planting churches, but much more.  God’s mandate to us is nothing less than taking dominion of His entire creation here on earth.  No one has put this mandate into practice more wisely and effectively than my good friend, Sunday Adelaja.  Of all the excellent new books on aggressively advancing the Kingdom of God, this one stands out as being the most practical.

— C. Peter Wagner, Presiding Apostle
International Coalition of Apostles
