Don't betray! Cover someone today! "The Leader Who Covers" is another spiritually-riveting and incisive book in which Apostle Winston Baker explains how God wants his leaders to operate. From a biblical perspective, Apostle Baker compares persons who covered the anointing with those who did not and underscores the blessings that comes with honouring the anointing - the way God intends it. Author_Bio: From the author of "Warring Unclean Spirits" comes "The Leader Who Covers." Apostle Winston Baker, a dynamic preacher and devout father of six beautiful children whom are also a part of the body of Christ, continues to allow God to use him in delivering the kingdom message to His people. He has been saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost for over twenty years. On him, God has placed an extra-ordinary anointing and gifting by the Holy Ghost and there is no denying that many signs and wonders have been wrought through him. With humility and holiness, Apostle Baker follows the guidance of the Holy Spirit as he displays the truth about God. He currently spearheads the King Jesus Pentecostal Fellowship; a vibrant and fast growing ministry second to none in this season. In his Ministry, the lame walks, the blind sees, the dumb speaks, HIV/AIDS and Cancer healed and the demon possessed set free; as there is no refutation that Satan acted ultra-vires and was thrown out of heaven; and that since then he has been trying to wreak havoc on the lives of God's people by diverting their attention from the truth about salvation. Apostle Baker is a tested, tried and proven under-shepherd whose vehement mission is the winning of souls for the kingdom of heaven and the waging of war against the kingdom of darkness. He is a true and powerful man of God, chosen for such a time as this.
