Conquering the Seven Mountains: Apostle Adefarasin on Redemptive Gifts and Servant Leadership

Apostle Yemi Adefarasin teaches the concept of fulfilling one’s God-given purpose (“redemptive gift”) and achieving true fulfillment by aligning with God’s design. He uses the biblical example of conquering the seven nations in Deuteronomy 7 as an analogy for conquering the “seven mountains” of societal influence (religion, family, education, government, media, arts/entertainment, business).

Adefarasin emphasizes the importance of shifting from institutional, top-down leadership to servant leadership, highlighting the need to address “altars, gates, and covenants” within each societal sphere to achieve lasting impact. He stresses that true self-worth stems from one’s identity in Christ, not from performance or achievements, and that this is crucial for effective and fulfilling leadership.
