The solution to the challenges of the world is the WORD OF GOD WHICH HAS POWER TO REFORM AND TRANSFORM ALL CREATION SINCE EVERYTHING WAS CREATED BY THE WORD. To try and get solution by any other means or ways and neglecting the word of God is suicidal. The only solution to the challenges facing the world/humanity today is OBEDIENCE to the instructions of the WORD of/ from GOD.
ISAIAH 2:1-3 clearly states that: The word that Isaiah the son of Amos saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last day, that the mountain of the LORD`S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nation shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
PEOPLE AND NATIONS SHALL turn to god for life applicable solution from the word of God, and this is found in the church/ mount Zion. The word of God is law that effectively governs the world. It is and must remain your center of reference to every step undertaken for sustainable growth and development. The word of God is powerful and creative. You can rely on it without disappointments in life, it is the more sure word of prophecy 2peter 1:19. Therefore to rule your world you need the WORD of/from God. If God created the world by the WORD, then it’s only sensible to rule the world by the same WORD of God. This is the Word of FAITH which we preach and teach. Everything in the life of man and in this world has its address in the word of God, so for any challenge of life, trace the WORD of God to address it for a sweat-free and struggle-free life!
WELCOME TO THE WINNING LIFE!
You are welcome to the winning life: a life of triumph and dominion! You must be born again to enter this realm of life. Without salvation you cannot enter nor see the kingdom of God John 3:3-8. For you to be liberated you must be born again. It begins with salvation which makes you a redeemed child of God. If you are not born again or you are not sure, or you are backslidden, you need to turn to Jesus for salvation of your life: spirit, soul, and body so as to live a life of freedom and dignity. Pray this prayer with the whole of your heart:
Lord Jesus thank you for dying for me on the cross. Thank you for paying the price for my sins. I believe you resurrected from the dead and now sit at the right hand of God the Father. I ask you to forgive me all my sins. I invite you into my life as my Lord and Saviour from today. I surrender my life to you. Thank you for saving me.
Now believe Jesus is living in your heart. You are forgiven and made righteous. Join a bible believing and teaching church to grow in salvation.

See yourself that way too as you follow Gods instruction in the scriptures and follow its demands on every issue of your life.
2. YOU NEED KNOWLEDGE.
