Apostle Jonathan Annan teaches about the influence of our backgrounds and past experiences, showing how they can impact our lives in both positive and negative ways. He highlights how Rachel, though positioned as Jacob's first wife, was hindered by her attachment to old customs—symbolized by her stealing her father’s idols, which indicated her struggle to fully let go of her background. Similarly, he teaches about Gideon, who believed himself to be weak because of his family background, even though God saw him as a mighty warrior. Apostle Annan also discusses how Jesus faced mockery and disbelief in His hometown, and how Nathanael questioned His significance based on His origin, demonstrating that backgrounds can shape others' perceptions of us and affect our relationships, character, finances, and marriages.

Through these examples, Apostle Annan teaches that, while backgrounds can shape our perspectives, they don’t have to define our future. By embracing God’s view of us, we can break free from limiting beliefs and fully realize our God-given potential, overcoming any negative influence from our past.
