Mantle of An Apostle: A Study on Spiritual Power Acquisition

This book represents the fourth in the series on Joseph Ayo Babalola, his life, works and ministries; and also the first in the series on African God's Generals.
The three books already published are:
J.A. Babalola Great Power Through Prayer and Fasting
J.A. Babalola; Foundation of an Apostle
J.A. Babalola Thoughts of an Apostle.
These books have gone through three to four reprints already, all in a space of few years, To God be the glory for the success of these books.

The present volume Joseph Ayo Babalola Mantle of an Apostle, deals with the life of Apostle Babalola and the process of his empowerment. It deals with the study or investigation of the anointing or mantle of an apostle and how a believer or preacher can cultivate the same power in this age of deception. It reveals certain aspects of the life of Babalola, which are sill unknown to most people. Although this book contains a 67-page biographical treatise or detail, it is NOT the biography.
The biography of Babalola containing his whole story is still coming in another book titled; J.A. Babalola; Signs of an Apostle. This 800-page work of many years is already completed and will soon be published. Expect it.

This book arises from a condition in the Church, a condition that I have observed for some years but which is now, in spite of every effort at amelioration, steadily growing worse. The worldly attitudes and the declining spiritual fortunes of the Church, particularly the pentecostal-evangelical segment, are too well known to any discerning mind. The loss of the messianic mission, focus and purpose by the Church, and of spiritual power by its popular leadership coupled with the dearth of the spirit of consecration and self-abnegation by the common run of professing Christians today are the main reasons and conditions from which this book derives its mandate.

A lot of people are under the mistaken impression that the
Church today is doing well. Sure, the forces of religion are making dramatic gains-what, with the building of skyscrapers, universities, monuments and multi-million complexes over the land. But these are not the proofs of spiritual vitality, if history is any thing to go by. The Church of Rome gained greater riches and opulence but she eventually died spiritually speaking. The current preoccupation of the Church with material prosperity, abundance, success etc is a clear signal that there are dangers ahead.

...I know thy works that thou hast a name that thou livest and art dead.

There is a crisis, a spiritual power crisis in the Church of the modern day. And this is already being felt by the larger society. The wave of satanism and cultic religions presently blowing the minds of our youths and in our campuses is a case in point. Today there is occult revival in Nigeria as ritual murders, cult-related crimes, secret societies, occult-inspired songs, art, movies, cultic traditional healers masquerading as herbal medicine practitioners, are on the swing.

This is apart from ethnic militias operating on occult principles, charms; and the infiltration of the popular church by full blown occultists under the name of pastors, reverend and Rev. Mrs. Juxtaposed with this saddening scenario is a popular Christianity without force, passion or effect, totally unfit to deal with the moral case of society. Youths are joining cults because the Church has failed to witness to the Living Christ and His power. This then is the reason for this book: finding an answer to the spiritual power crisis that has engulfed the modern Church.
