A large opportunity exists for Australian organisations to use new and powerful technologies (Artificial intelligence [AI] and Cloud technologies) to transform their businesses to keep pace with or ahead of the leading edge of competitiveness. This book showcases inspirational Australian case studies in order to inspire Australian (and non-Australian) organisations to undertake the challenge. This book synthesises the key learnings and contrasts those with the conventional wisdom on this topic. The book also defines what AI- and Cloud-based business transformations are and what they can do for businesses. Furthermore, it explains why it is imperative that businesses should address the business opportunities of these technological advancements, without going into the technical details any more than the ‘literacy’ that is necessary for business leaders.

God has created us to have life, and have it in abundance. His plan is that we prosper, do His will on earth and dominate our environment. However, the ene- my of man, called Satan or devil, does not want anyone to do well. He knows that when you and your family are doing well, and your business is thriving, you will serve God and your life will be a witness to people around you. Therefore, Satan wants you to be miserable, wretched and poor so that he can take glory as the all-powerful one. God created the entire earth by the word of mouth. He com- manded the fishes, the sea creatures, the animals in the bush and wild forests, the birds and the rivers were all commanded forth by the word proceeding from the mouth of the Creator. This tells us that there is power in the pronouncements of any being with breath in his nostrils. Just as God's words carry power, so do the words of Satan and interestingly do your own words too. Words are spirits and depending on the kind of power behind the one making the pronouncements, words can inflict blessings or curses. The focus of this book is on the power be- hind negative words. We will consider how, as a child of God, you can negate or cancel the evil words that may have been pronounced against you. Whether the words are pronounced by the devil himself, his agents, and/or anyone else anointed of the enemy to attack your destiny in any way does not matter.
The scripture does not want to leave anybody in doubt about the destructive ten- dencies of Satan. Therefore, it gives a vivid description of Satan and his diaboli- cal nature. In Genesis 3:1, the Bible says: Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. John 8:44 reads thus: ...He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it. Another word for subtle in Genesis 3:1 is cunning. Cunning is synonymous with deception. Any individual with his attribute can manipulate another person to his own advantage. From the foregoing, it is obvious that through his crafty nature. Satan can take advantage of you if you are ignorant oi his antics and not well grounded in the word of God. Satanic manipulations and antidotes is therefore a modest at- tempt on my part to expose the satanic veil that the devil uses before unleashing his deadly blows. The book is a product of my experience from counselling ses- sions with those who require divine guidance to their diverse spiritual prob- lems.1 wish to acknowledge the support of my brothers and sisters in the Lord whose interaction provided the necessary impetus for this publication. May you be richly blessed as you read through this publication. Samson Bamigbayan February, 2014
