01. Book Title:

When God Speaks (The Nature And Integrity of God's Word)

 Author: Gbile Akanni

Date Published: May, 1990 (Reprinted 1993, 1996)

Publisher: Peace House Publications ISBN (978 33002 0 2)

Number of Pages: 115

What is the word of God? Is it God's method of communication? Is it the black and white pages of the Bible? Is it the word spoken by a prophet? Or is it God's method of expressing himself?

Perhaps for years you have viewed the word of God the same way you have viewed what men say. You have viewed God as another person, speaking like any other person. And this has consequently ruled your perception of His word.

But this book, perhaps the most authoritative on this subject ever to be written, sets out to inform you that God's word is different. It is not an instrument; it is Spirit! It is not an element; it is life! It is God's method of getting things done everywhere anytime.

It explains in clear, vivid and articulate language The Nature and Integrity of God's Word. That the word of God can be trusted, believed, relied-upon and acted upon, for concrete, final and successful results. That when all else has been done, let the word of God come in. It will always triumph in any assignment for which God sends it.

03. Book Title:

Becoming like Jesus

 Author: Gbile Akanni

Date Published: May, 1997

Publisher: Peace House Publications ISBN (978 33002 1 0)

Number of Pages: 300

Becoming like Jesus is a short treatise on DISCIPLESHIP. It mirrors several years of carefully built convictions of God's ultimate goal for mankind.

The road to genuine and abundant living must wind through GOLGOTHA with an ever increasing conformity with the man of CALVARY, JESUS CHRIST, the LORD. Satan and the contemporary world have blackmailed this way and made it ever more unpopular. Many sincere christians have been subtly diverted to seek victory and fulfillment through several short-cuts; sometimes with seeming "breakthroughs". There is no true prosperity nor abundant life for any man who is still under the rule of the natural SELFLIFE! God's unequivocal condition to man is: " ... Let him deny himself; and take up his cross and follow me."

When The Heavens are Closed

 

 Author: Gbile Akanni

Date Published: May, 1999

Publisher: Peace House Publications ISBN (978 33002-3-7)

Number of Pages: 164

WHEN THE HEAVENS ARE CLOSED is a practical answer to several perplexities in our present day spiritual experiences. Every man operates under a "heaven space". Men of old who succeeded in their ministries operated under 'open heavens'. No man ever succeeded in his service as long as the heavens remained closed to him...

Do you yearn for a revival in your life, community and in your generation...? You need to read this book!

The author in his usual simple but moving style, has clearly and practically examined the issue of the condition of the 'heavens over our lives'. What happens when the heavens are closed to a man, a preacher, a land, or a people? What causes it? How can we secure 'open heavens' and perpetually walk under it? These are issues we must address if we are to have and perpetuate the revival we are all yearning for!

When last did you check the condition of the heavens over your head? This book will help you to discover where you stand if you must strike your generation with your life and ministry.

What God looks for in His VESSEL

Author: Gbile Akanni

Date Published: June, 1999

Publisher: Peace House Publications ISBN (978-33002-4-5)

Number of Pages: 336

In this book Bro. Gbile has proved scripturally and beyond any shadow of doubt that in God's army there is nothing like "an emergency sanctification" quickly put together in order to usher a man into a leadership position. Neither does God follow human criteria such as good look, physique and academic acumen, but a good heart ... 
This book calls us away from shoddiness and superficiality, into seriousness and depth of character ...
As we come into the third millennium, the church will need a godly, serious minded leadership that can lead her into a deeper level of spirituality and a greater height of uncompromised service.

WHAT GOD LOOKS FOR IN HIS VESSEL is an invaluable contribution to meeting this need.

From the Foreword by Dr. Tokunbo Adeyemo

Guidepost for The Coming Revival

Author: Gbile Akanni

Date Published: April, 2001

Publisher: Peace House Publications ISBN 978-33002-7-1

Number of Pages: 45

In the past few years, God has stirred up the hearts of many silent saints-sometimes unknown to one another, to cry and tarry at His feet for a divine visitation ...

I hear the Lord loudly saying; "It is time to rember Zion ... The time to favour her has come ..."

Revival is one of God's costly pearls. If the Lord must use you in this end-time revival, then these are words of instructions you cannot afford to neglect or ignore ... These are definite things that all God's labourers in this day must pay close attention to, so "that nothing be lost".

Costly Assumption

Author: Gbile Akanni

Date Published: October, 2001

Publisher: Peace House Publications ISBN 978-35796-1-4 

Number of Pages: 41

This book is a call to believers to constantly do self examination as commitment to church activities and programmes could give a false sense of Christ's presence and approval. Illustrations from the life of Mary and Joseph of pointers to missing Jesus:

Genuine spiritual experiences degenerate into feasts and customs. No more emphasis on measurable and discernable impartations each time you contact Spiritual things.

Relationship with the Lord Jesus is no longer personal, but hinged on other people's experiences. Carelessness and making your relationship with Jesus a matter of guesses and presumptions.

Seeking for Jesus from among fellow backsliders with whom you are traveling together on a costly assumption.

Samson's costly assumption: Even though he was a backslider anointing was still flowing, he despised Godly counsel and he paid dearly.

Building fulfilling Marital Relationship

Author: Gbile Akanni

Date Published: August, 2001

Publisher: Peace House Publications ISBN 978-35796-0-6 

Number of Pages: 116

Marriage bore the brunt of the casualty at the fall of man in Eden. Since then most marital relationships have been nothing but a caricature of God's original plan. Ignorance of the divine objective, and the principles for maximizing this strategic union is the main weapon in the hands of the devil.

God is again graciously restoring this knowledge to the church in this end-time as a major mobilization for the soon coming revival. 

This book though systematic and self explanatory, is actually an aid to the study of the Scriptures. Each user is expected to be led and guided further into a thorough personal search of God's revealed truth as it was in the  beginning ...

Pathway to Leadership

Author: Gbile Akanni

Date Published: Dec. 2003

Publisher: Peace House Publications ISBN 978-35796-7-3

Number of Pages: 174

What matters to God about any man He places over His house hold is the life of the man himself- the nature and quality. Concerning this, God will not budge an inch in compromise. This is often the point of struggle, and the reason for the delays and sometimes the abortion of several calls.

The first pr-requisite in becoming usable in God's hand is to say "Here I am". It is to present your life as an available material for the potter to work upon.

This book is all about the making of God's kind of leaders- the instruments, the curriculum, and examples of such lives that God prevailed upon.
