"Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." Matthew 10:16 is not a comfortable verse. It is an honest one. Every believer who has ever obeyed God into a hard field already knows its truth: obedience does not always lead to friendly ground. In this fourteen chapter study, Bishop Osei Tweneboah Koduah unfolds the full architecture of Matthew 10:16, showing sent servants how to remain sheep without becoming naive, how to grow wise without growing cynical, and how to guard character, access, and assignment even when the field refuses to welcome them.
Drawing on the lives of Joseph, David, Nehemiah, and Paul alongside real pastoral, ministry, and marketplace accounts, this book gives the sent servant a theology of assignment large enough to hold both genuine hostility and genuine hope. You will not find a promise here that the wolves will disappear. You will find something more durable: the confidence that the One who sent you remains greater than everything you have been sent into.
Whether you are planting in hostile territory, leading through betrayal, or simply trying to stay soft-hearted in a hard season, this book will help you finish the assignment, wolves and all.
