Aborted Priesthood

By Oluwagbemiga Olowosoyo

Most people understand that God is bound to keep his promises. What they fail to understand is the fact that God's promises are conditional.
In this book Dr Olowosoyo did a teaching on Eli and used it to explain the consequences of a careless lifestyle in priesthood.

Bishop George Adjeman

(He later became a Bishop of Living Faith World Outreach, Winners’ Chapel)

Let me give you three instances where God was forced to change His plans:

Adam was created by God to dwell in Eden and to have dominion on the earth. But God drove him out of Eden in Genesis chapter 3 and he lost his dominion. When Adam sinned, God changed His plans. And the whole arrangement changed.

It was only two of the people of Israel who left Egypt that actually got into the Promised Land: Joshua and Caleb. This was despite God’s initial plan to take all of them to
