Seed Time and Harvest

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

It is always God’s design that we receive a harvest and usually the harvest is often more than the seed planted. Genesis Chapter 8 verse 22, Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 verse 2, Philippians Chapter 4 verses 14 to 19, Galatians Chapter 6 verse 9. It is not a one way traffic of just giving but a two way traffic of giving and receiving. Please see Mark Chapter 4 verses 26 to 29 and Hebrews Chapter 4.

A major prerequisite of abundant harvests is planting of seeds. Seeds differ. A fertile soil is another major prerequisite for abundant harvests. The seed must also be quality seed. There is a relationship between water and abundant harvests. Water is one of the ingredients for nourishment and growth – Ezekiel Chapter 17 verses 5 to 8, 19 verse 10, Jeremiah Chapter 17 verse 8, Psalm 1 verse 3, Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verse 7, 11 verses 10 to 15, Leviticus Chapter 26 verses 4 to 5, 9 to 10, Job Chapter 14 verses 7 to 9, Psalm 68 verses 8 to 9, 104 verses 13 to 17, Numbers Chapter 24 verses 6 to 7. Patience is required for the seed to go through the processes required for the abundant harvests to come. Every planting begets harvests albeit abundant harvests. Please see Luke Chapter 6 verse 38, Genesis Chapter 49, Isaiah Chapter 22, Isaiah Chapter 35 verses 6 to 7, 41 verses 17 to 20, 43 verses 19 to 20, 44 verses 1 to 4, 32 verse 20, Ecclesiastes Chapter 11 verse 1. Other Scriptures on abundant harvests – Psalms 147 verses 8 to 9, 126 verses 5 to 6, 107 verses 35 to 38, 92 verses 12 to 15, 85 verse 12, 65 verses 9 to 13, 67 verses 5 to 6, 72 verse 8.

Build Financial Empires

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Financial empires do not happen overnight or in an instance. They are products of processes and long term planning. Your preoccupation should therefore be how to access the financial abundance God blessed you with so you can build financial empires. How you may ask? Be consciously and actively involved and engaged in money making activities. Do not assume. Do what has to be done legally and godly to earn an income. Produce and sell goods as in the case of the widow of the indebted prophet in 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7, Lydia in Acts Chapter 16 verse 14, the virtuous woman of Proverbs Chapter 31 verses 10 to 31, Aquila, Priscilla and the Apostle Paul who were tent makers in Acts Chapter 18 verses 1 to 3.

Know and understand the dynamics of whatever industry you operate in. Google how other people are selling their products and services and learn. Take the best practices especially what the Holy Spirit will have you learn and implement.

Set annual sales targets and try to exceed them.

Break annual sales targets to monthly, weekly and daily sales targets.

Develop and implement strategies for making such sales.

Ask God to help you exceed the targets.

Always Look at Value

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Effective leaders negotiate win/win agreements whenever possible; follow through on their commitments, whatever the cost. John Maxwell

Value is whatever brings positive additions to your life, enhances your brand and potentials for wealth and success. This implies that your associations, your knowledgebase, your assumed assets could be worthless if they have no value and do not attract any value. Even dresses worn by certain people attract value. Same goes for fashion accessories and even home accessories used by certain people.  Certain vintage cars also have value as their prices increase with the times. This makes it imperative for you, a creator of wealth to know and understand value so that you can always identify value, always seek value and entertain value. That way, you will always look at value. The Bible records in Genesis Chapter 13 verses 14 to 18 that Abraham lifted up his eyes as instructed by the Lord and he saw Canaan, the land of promise. Please see also Psalm 119 verse 37, verse 148 where David chose to look at the word of God. Job on the other chose not to look at what would make him lust after young women. Please see Job Chapter 31 verse 1.

Partner with Sound Minds 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Sound minds delegate. It is strength to delegate when you should. Jesus Christ delegated to His disciples. He sent them to preach the gospel, heal the sick, cast out demons and raise the dead. The Apostle Paul delegated to his mentees. Delegation speeds up processes and saves time, a much limited resource. Additionally, you can achieve so much through delegation.

A sound mind knows when and how to initiate processes that move an organization; or businesses forward. The Bible describes Abigail as a woman of good understanding. She had the God given wisdom to manage Nabal and all of his character flaws; including his great love of wine and feasting. She could tell when he was drunk and always refrained from discussions with him (1^st Samuel Chapter 25 verses 36 to 37). She was indeed a wise woman who did not allow Nabal’s foolishness to affect her and impact her life negatively. Abigail knew how and when to speak to him.

This is clearly demonstrated in her response to the servant who reported the incident between Nabal and the servants of David. Rather than complain or moan or wait for Nabal to arrive, the Bible records that she made haste to appease David and his men in order to save Nabal, herself and the entire household. The depth of her good understanding is revealed when she meets with David. First she bows to the ground in greeting David and then takes responsibility for Nabal’s offense. She apologizes and thanks David in advance for not avenging himself. She also tells David that God would avenge his enemies. She then presented her gift. She also begs David to remember her when God has avenged all his enemies. David was overwhelmed. What sane man would continue on the journey to annihilate Nabal and his household after Abigail’s great performance? None I believe but perhaps a Nabal.

So David thanked Abigail for her advice and received the gifts. By kind words and actions, Abigail saved her entire household from destruction.

Partner with Sound Minds

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Sound minds create wealth. There is a correlation between a sound mind, sound words, sound doctrine, sound speech and wealth. Please see 2^nd Timothy Chapter 1 verses 7, 13, 4 verse 3, Titus Chapter 2 verse 8. Partnering with sound minds can take on different forms – organizational partnerships, individual partnerships, ministry partnerships, employee/employer partnerships, as well as engaging the services of vendors and artisans. It could also be delegation. No matter the coloration of partnerships, the persons must be skilled. Please see 1^st Chronicles Chapter 25 verses 1, 7 (skilled ministers of music). They served under their father who was knowledgeable and who transferred the skills. They were also instructed in the songs of the Lord – they were knowledgeable and not ignorant.

David was a skilfull instrumentalist and was subsequently recommended to King Saul’s service. Please see 1^st Kings Chapter 5 verse 6. The Sidonians were skilled in cutting timber and subsequently were invited by King Solomon to supply timber for the building of the temple and the King’s palace. Please see 1^st Kings Chapter 7 verses 13 to 14. Huram was skilled in working with all kinds of bronze work. Please see 2^nd Chronicles Chapter verses 6, 13 to 14.

Mental prowess should also be a major consideration in choosing partners. Partners who have intellectual prowess, people who think, who think issues through, who have analytical powers, who strategize, who proffer solutions – people like the Biblical Jethro, Joseph, Daniel, Abigail, the virtuous woman of Proverbs Chapter 31, the wise woman for her people skills are partners that would move your enterprise up the ladder of wealth and success any day.

Brand Your Self to Wealth 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You can also brand your way to wealth through your communication package. This is also a total package which comprises your body language, grooming, dressence, non verbal and verbal communication. Let your communication reflect the fact that you are on a journey to actually create and sustain wealth.

Be bold. Look people straight in the eye when discussing. Boldness also reflects in a person’s comportment, dress, speech, gait, etc. To be bold is to be brave and confident (not afraid to say what you feel or take risks. To be bold is not to be critical or judgmental. A genuine wealth creator is usually bold.

Indecision should not reflect in any form of your communication. When not certain or you do not have enough or accurate facts, say that you require more time to be sufficiently informed and be fast about getting the required information. Be decisive as indecision is not only a mark of weakness, but a clear indication that you either have no idea where you are headed or what you are doing. Do not keep wavering between two or diverse opinions or options while other people are busily engaged moving on. Take a decision and move forward.

Brand Yourself to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Your brand is the sum total of your true worth, capabilities and influence.  This includes your contacts – all the people you know that can support your brand. Your brand is wealth worth billions if only you know what to do with the brand.

The role of relationships and partnerships in branding is very significant. The significance of right relationships in quality branding cannot be overemphasized. That is why you should engage in right relationships such as spiritually, physically, financially and mentally rewarding relationships that brand and position you strategically for wealth, success, honor and fame.

Spiritually rewarding relationships are relationships that build you, strengthen and enhance you spiritually. The greatest and best of such relationships that I can think of is your relationship with God through Jesus Christ and the indwelling Presence of God through the precious Holy Spirit. This relationship not only guarantees life in eternity with Jesus Christ (John Chapter 3 verses 1 to 5, 16 to 19); but knowledge, understanding and wisdom for daily living (Isaiah Chapter 48 verse 17); which ultimately leads to wealth and success.

An Idea Is an Empire

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

An idea is usually intangible. It starts as a thought and grows as an expanded thought. This implies that ideas are thoughts expanded through creative but strategic thinking processes. Such processes should ideally be dependent on the Holy Spirit. Thoughts expanded to ideas create with the word of God birthing businesses, scientific inventions and what have you.  This is to say that ideas which originated as a thought (s) in the hearts of men and women over time expanded to the institutions, technologies, innovations, fashion etc that bless humanity today. Therefore, think more, process thoughts, ideas, evaluate and reevaluate them, including the jobs at hand to see how you can convert them to empires. Review what you do, what has been done and how it can be improved upon to grow beyond what it is now to the empire God designed it to be from the foundation of the world.

Everything God created is designed to multiply because embedded in every creation of God is the capacity for fruitfulness. Even nature teaches us that fruitfulness leads to multiplication and in some cases compounding. In like manner, an idea that is well thought out; implemented in the right place, at the right time and with the right people definitely turns out right, blooms and flourishes beyond the original implantation stage to become an empire.

Be Enthusiastic About Making Money

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Money puts food on the table. Goodwill does not. Money pays the rent and utility bills. Goodwill does not. Money gives a good education. Goodwill does not. Therefore, work for money and not goodwill. Making money is not a sin. Abraham made money. Isaac made money. Jacob made money. Joseph made money. Nehemiah made money.

Jesus demonstrated the significance of making money and money management in the parables of the talents and the prodigal son. The Bible in both the old and new testaments supports money making and celebrates wealthy men and women such as Abraham, Isaac, Boaz, Job, Joseph of Arimathea, King Solomon, the virtuous woman described in Proverbs Chapter 31, King David and many others.  God is not against money making. What the Bible condemns is the love of money, greed and mammon worship, fraudulent means of making money like lying, cheating, duping other people of their hard earned money, bribery and robbery.

The virtuous woman described in Proverbs Chapter 31 made so much money from the work of her hands that she was able to buy land even in her days when there was so much gender discrimination. Even the skilled artisans mentioned in the Bible who received creative abilities in designing from God and who worked in the designing of the tabernacle in Exodus Chapter 36 and in the temple in 1^st Kings were handsomely remunerated.

Sing Your Own Song

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You are the only one who can sing your own song the loudest. You are the only one who can celebrate yourself, your achievements, successes, your purpose and everything God created you to be. If you do not celebrate yourself, brand yourself and position yourself where you should be, chances are that no one will push you up there. Therefore, quit the facelessness, namelessness, I do not want to be in the news; I do not want to make front page stuff. FrontPage is where you should be, announcing to the world the products and services you have designed to bless humanity. I do realize that your products or services can be publicized without you necessarily being publicized. But say, is Bill Gates not a public face? How about Donald Trump, Richard Branson, Suze Orman, Oprah Winfrey, Mark Zuckerberg and so many other people making money effortlessly? They all make front page news. I suggest you do the same. Get out of the back seat into the front seat. Quit being a backside lieutenant and become the frontline General God created you to be. You do not belong in the museum or archives while you are alive and well. The limelight and klieg lights is where you belong. Get moving and fast. Kill every reluctance and hesitation to advertise you as hiding in the backyard could militate against access to billions. Therefore, refuse to be bound to you are not good enough or your products and services are not good enough or you should not be celebrated.  Destroy such boundary limiting satanic thoughts and fears with a conscious and determined decision to improve and excel in every area where you are not good enough. Do a quick upgrade to excellence!

I can access, own and manage the divine billions God deposited in me through Christ Who strengthens me in Jesus mighty name, AMEN.

Look Beyond the Challenges

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Challenges are a constant reality of life. Most times, they come unannounced, throwing one off balance. But when they are properly scrutinized and processed, they become stepping stones. Therefore, do not panic, do not be afraid, and do not be intimidated. You can reign over any circumstance. God wants you to be on top of it. There is no room for docile, impassive and indifferent people. Every gazelle knows that it has to outrun the fastest lion in order not to be used for breakfast and every lion knows that it has to rise early enough to outrun the fastest gazelle in order to have breakfast.

The diligent make use of everything they find. Jesus Christ preached from a mountain top, used Peter’s boat and also taught in the synagogues owned and administered by the same Pharisees and Sadducees who opposed Him and sought to kill him. Please Matthew Chapter 4 verse 23, 5 verse 1, Luke Chapter 5 verses 1 to 3, and Proverbs Chapter 12 verse 27.  Jesus, the Son of the great I AM WHO I AM, says to you today, I AM ALL you need to come out of any situation that challenges you. I alone can give you the strength, the capacities, the wealth, the affluence that you require to overrule that situation. Please see how He did it for King David of Israel in Psalm 18.

Wealthier than the Palms

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The palm tree with its several varieties is said to one of the richest trees. This is because of the several uses to which about every part of the tree can be put to. The palm tree has multiple uses; it is used for making brooms, baskets, mats, brushes, etc.   Every part of the palm tree is useful as nothing is wasted. The fruit which is noted for its sweetness also has many uses. 

There are over two thousand species of the palm tree but in this context, the date palm will be used. The palm tree has an average size of forty to fifty feet. The very tall ones get to a hundred feet and last for hundreds of years, say about four hundred years. The palm tree is noted for its hidden life – no amount of tampering destroys it. This speaks of stability and durability.  It is also not easy to uproot a palm tree. This is because it has a deep tap root that travels down for nourishment which explains why it is usually not affected by drought except in very severe cases of drought.  The root of the palm tree is deep and goes deep into the soil until it strikes the spring of water and then feeds the entire tree with water therefore making the tree fruitful. The palm tree is thus evergreen, always fresh and beautiful. You can also have such eternal freshness in Jesus mighty name, daily blossoming, bearing fruit and attractive. Please see Psalm 92 verse 12, Psalm 125 verse 1 and Psalm 1 verse 3. This also speaks of continuity in fruit bearing meaning that your life becomes sweeter each day in Jesus mighty name. Fatness refers to wealth, prosperity and riches while flourishing refers to spontaneous and luxurious growth.

Be a Flowing Stream

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Flowing streams distribute their God given resources, namely water as directed by God. That is why streams flow into rivers and rivers flow into seas and seas flow into oceans. That way, they distribute their natural resources as God would have them distribute such resources so that humanity and other living beings are blessed. In like manner, God expects everyone blessed with divine resources to distribute such resources as directed by God for the blessing of humanity as well as other living beings.

Resource distributors are not necessarily people who give away resources for free. They also include people who distribute resources for a fee such as the distributor of grain in Proverbs Chapter 11 verse 2b. He sold the grain yet was blessed for doing so. Joseph sold the grain that was harvested from the farms of the Egyptians to the Egyptians yet they blessed him. Please see Genesis Chaptre 41 verses 54 to 57, 42 verses 1 to 5, 47 verses 13 to 26.

Distributing resources expands resources as in the case of the diligent servants described in the parable of talents. Please see Matthew Chapter 25 verses 14 to 30.  The wicked and unprofitable servant was cast out into outer darkness because he refused to expand the resources he was blessed with through distributing it.

Run Your Race

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Some people make the news while some others report the news. Yet there are many people who neither make the news nor report the news. They are usually content to stay in the sidelines, just watching the world go by, never commenting, never making suggestions or even criticizing. Such people are actually spectators in the race of life including the races they are supposed to run in life but which they either consciously or unconsciously refuse to run; choosing to be impassive spectators. Beloved, you cannot afford to be a spectator in your race. If you watch others and do not run your race, how on earth do you get to destination, especially if your destination is the top?

David for instance was ordained by God to become King in Israel even when King Saul was still on the throne and was grooming his son Jonathan to inherit the throne. Yet, David ran his race. He did not watch as an impassive spectator. He brought Goliath down and ended the intimation and oppression of Israel by the Philistines through Goliath’s taunts and boasts. That earned him respect and great admiration by the people of Israel. Twice, David was opportune to hack down King Saul to smithereens yet David chose to do that which was honorable. He did not lay his hands on the Lord’s anointed. But when the Amalekites attempted to bring sorrow to David and his men after they burned down Ziklag and took the women and children captive, David ran an extremely competitive race. Tired, weary and to some extent uncertain of what lay ahead, David enquired of the Lord what next steps to take. Guided by the Lord, David outran the Amalekites and recovered all that they had attempted to steal from him.

Severally, the enemy attempts to steal and could actually succeed if you act as an impassive spectator in the race of life. But if you get on your knees and respond to the blast of the gun to begin the race, you definitely can by the Spirit of God outrun the enemy no matter how far he has gone. So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. Isaiah Chapter 59 verse 19.

Therefore, Stop looking at people running their own race (1^st Corinthians Chapter 9 verses 24 to 27, 2^nd Timothy Chapter 4 verses 6 to 8, Philemon Chapter 1 verse 6) because you will succeed just as David succeeded.  

Share for Profit

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You have more than enough because God has destroyed the yoke of insufficiency. Insufficiency is a mental and spiritual stronghold with which the enemy keeps a person in a state of perpetual lack, inability to meet pressing needs because resources are always insufficient. It manifests in never having enough and there is never enough, therefore, you do not share what you have. When you do not share resources, they do not multiply and compound because you have not put any seed on the ground for God to multiply and compound.

Significantly, what makes you refuse to share is because you believe the lie of the enemy that you do not have enough and therefore what you have cannot and should not be shared. That lie is what then keeps a person in the bondage of insufficiency. Unfortunately, this is a time tested strategy of the enemy to keep people in the bondage of insufficiency.

But if you believe the truth of the word of God that God will always supply all your resources according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus, then you will always share what you have knowing that God is the One Who will always supply your needs and not necessarily the resources at your disposal. The resources at your disposal are most often seeds for sowing that should be planted to produce great harvests. Please see John Chapter 12 verse 24, Ecclesiastes Chapter 11 verses 1 to 6, Zechariah Chapter 8 verse 12, Isaiah Chapter 30 verse 23 and Luke Chapter 6 verse 38.

Give Your Way to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The power to get wealth is preceded by the power to lay down. It is impossible to provoke giving without the power to lay down. . You must first lay down before you receive. This is the secret of increase. Increase your giving and you will increase your capacity to get wealth. Every seed you sow always multiplies and compounds. There is a progression – as Isaac sowed in the land, he kept waxing great, growing from one level of greatness to another.  The possible outcomes of giving include unanticipated progress to the next level. GIVING therefore INCREASES INCOME;, GIVING CAN WARD OFF DANGERS. Please see Malachi Chapter 3 verse 11.

In Deuteronomy Chapter 16 verse 17, the Bible instructs believers to give according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you. No one should appear before God empty and you give from what God has blessed with you. This implies that God will always bless you but He also expects a worship portion from that blessing through the giving of tithes and generous offerings in His house. Please see also 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verses 1 to 7.

Rule over Your Enemies

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You will find what you are looking for when you are spiritually and mentally awake. Arise from slumber. Deepen your relationship with God through in-depth word study, worship and expanded praise, thanksgiving, be more obedient to God – prompt and willing obedience, not grudgingly or compelled to but willingly and happily, loving obedience to God.

Be focused - do away with distractions, ignore them completely irrespective of whatever forms they come in.  Concentrate on what has to be done and do it excellently.

Maintain and celebrate a culture of excellence. Copy best practices and learn from those who truly know. Invest in continuous self improvement and be attentive, in fact more attentive than you have ever been. Be more analytic.

Create room for more. The harvests you have seen are the least you will ever see because greater and bigger harvests are on the way. Your giving should line up with where you are headed. Your giving should reflect where you are going. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse of God. Please see Malachi Chapter 3 verses 10 to 13.

Abolish famine in the land. No more ridicule on account of famine. God who does not lie and will never lie will give you good crops and great harvests from everything you plant in Jesus mighty name, AMEN.

Tithe Your Way to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Jesus is the foundation of tithing. Please see Hebrews Chapter 7 verses 1 to 10, Genesis Chapter 13 verses 18 to 20. 

The tithe is ten percent of a person’s income be it daily, weekly, monthly or annual income that a believer gives to God as an act of worship.  Tithes are meant for the well being of the Levites, their upkeep and for doing the work of the Lord. Please see Nehemiah Chapter 13 verses 9 to 13, Leviticus Chapter 27 verses 30 to 34 and Numbers Chapter 18 verses 21 to 32. In Malachi Chapter 3 verses 8 to 12,  believers are instructed to pay the tithe  and give generous offerings in a Bible believing Church where the Holy Spirit is accorded respect and given freedom to operate fully; so that He guides, teaches and directs the people of God to profit (Isaiah Chapter 48 verse 17); also where the truth of God is upheld and reigns above the doctrines and philosophies of men; where the Lordship of Jesus is celebrated and God is the head of the Church and everyone submits to God. It is also the place where every member of the Church counts – no one is favored above the other and everyone is treated with respect and honor, no partiality in judgment, service, etc. That Church is also where you worship and serve God in truth and in spirit.

Divine Treasures

                                       Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Divine  Treasures

Hidden riches of secret places

Treasures in Unlikely Places

Water everywhere, fresh and salty

Deep, shallow, narrow, wavy, stormy, frightful

Yet abundant in treasures

Treasures in abundant waters

Water in the desert?

Yes! Hagar and the Israelites in the wilderness

Water from the rock

Water that was healed

Samson, the Israelites and allied army going to war against Moab

So even in a desert or should I say financial desert of lack, insufficiency,

God will make available for you

Overflowing financial abundance

From unlikely sources in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. 

All You Have is What You Need

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Everything you need to resolve whatever needs, crisis, is within your reach through Christ Jesus (Philippians Chapter 4 verse 19) because God is your Shepherd and He has made abundant provision for all you need. It may appear small or insignificant but it would be wise to follow the advice of Scriptures in Zechariah Chapter 4 verses 6 to 10, “Do not despise the small beginning for the eyes of the Lord rejoice to see the work begin”. Please see also Psalm 44 verse 3, Haggai Chapters 1 and 2, Job Chapter 8 verse 7, 42 verse 12, Ezekiel Chapter 36 verse 11.

Beloved, what you need is inside of you, within easy reach. Ask God to open your eyes of understanding to see it and give you the relevant wisdom to use it as He would have you use it to achieve the desired results you seek in Jesus mighty name. Please see Genesis Chapter 21 verse 19, 22 verses 13 to 14.

The widow of the indebted son of the prophet had what she referred to as only a jar of oil in the house. That jar of oil was more than sufficient to pay off the debts that threatened debt bondage  as well as provide abundant resources for them to live on for the rest of their lives because she obeyed the divine instructions from Prophet Elisha to use what she had to get what she desired. Please see 2^nd Kings Chapter 4.

Speak Your Way to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The word of God always has power to create beauty, love, wealth, life, etc out of nothing. The creative power of the word of God is evidenced in the Bible. Please see Romans Chapter 4 verses 17 to 25, Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 6 to 13, Numbers Chapter 23 verse 19. The Bible records that “And God said”; and there was a manifestation of the things He decreed – he called into being. Please see Genesis Chapter 1 for details of the creation story and Hebrews Chapter 11 verse 3, as well as Psalm 33 verses 6 to 9 for testimonies of the saints concerning the creative power in the word of God. Also, when Jesus thanked God for the few loaves of bread and fish that would feed the thousands; He was calling forth and creating abundance from what was available. He did not complain of insufficiency like the disciples. Instead, He thanked God who always knows how to multiply and compound whatever resources are brought before Him for multiplication and abundance. Please see John Chapter 6 verses 1 to 13 and Matthew Chapter 15 verses 32 to 39. Elisha did the same in 2^nd Kings Chapter 3. Thanksgiving brings about multiplication and increase as well as abundance.  

The statement a person makes can either make or mar him or her. That is the difference between people who speak possibilities and impossibilities. The person who speaks possibilities always sees possibilities and therefore makes conscious efforts to make the possibilities realities. The same thing applies to the person who speaks impossibilities as s/he will always see impossibilities and therefore make no effort to dream not to talk of actualizing any dream. Beloved, it is possible to speak your way to wealth.  How? By confessing daily that you are created to make abundant wealth and that God endowed you with everything you need to make wealth. In the same manner, people speak lack and poverty into their lives through daily making statements of lack and poverty about themselves.

Impact Your Target Audience

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Impact is the effect or influence that an event, situation etc has on someone or something http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/impact.

God is the only one who truly impacts people, organizations, structures and nations. Therefore, to impact people, you have to be impacted by God and then God in you helps you to impact people to bring about the required positive change or transformation you want to see in people. Ultimately, this is what brings about fame.

It is God’s target audience for you whom you impact that takes you to the heights God has for you. The people you think are high up there that you patronize may not necessarily move you up the mark. I know people who rather than pursue the specifics of God’s plans and purposes for their lives, pursue connections to the famous, rich, those acknowledged and honored by society in the quest to move up the ladder of life. Significantly, that is where people always miss it. Stop running after the rich and famous so that you can be recognized in order to belong to their class. Instead, ask God to please, have mercy on you and forgive you, in Jesus mighty name, AMEN; so that He alone will help you get to the desired heights you seek.

Impact your target audience and God will promote you. The impact is to transform lives, not just routine products or services, not just different products or services, but products and services that IMPACT; that bring about positive transformation.

Swim Against the Tide 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

To start with, God is not the one opposing you in your journey to financial independence. It is the devil and his cohorts. Whoever, whatever comes out to attack you on your way to the land of promise is not of God and has no power over you as God has stripped them of all power to hurt you. Therefore, be determined to move forward. Dislodge the powers of darkness and opposition in prayers. If ever there was a time to pray it is now. Match them force for force and eliminate to dispossess them. Eliminate the opposition in prayers as the Apostle Paul did to the wild beasts of Ephesus. Prophesy the word of God to stem the satanic flood waters of financial lack so that you can destroy every opposition on your path, dispossess them and move on to the land of promise. Therefore, strike hard, eliminate them, dispossess them and move on to the land of promise on your knees.

Most likely, you will experience very fierce opposition even in prayers as you may not break through to God immediately, which is accessing the throne room of God. But keep asking God for mercy by the blood of Jesus Christ; confessing your sins and asking that the blood of Jesus Christ wipe away every handwriting that is contrary to you on account of whatever sin that the enemy may holding on to; to accuse you as well as to stop you from accessing the throne room to receive forgiveness, cleansing, healing and restoration in your finances.

Swim Against the Tide 1

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Is it possible to swim against the tide and what exactly is the tide? The tide referred to here is the tide of the floodwaters of financial challenges no matter the format in which they present.

God had long intervened in your finances and released financial abundance to you. But the enemy has been blockading your access to the financial abundance, resisting and opposing you spiritually, physically, mentally and in so many ways that you are probably beginning to doubt if God wants you to have any personal finances. Beloved, God did not create you to be poor, in lack, in debt and borrowing to live. He created you to prosper, be wealthy and to be happy. Whatever then limits you from prospering is not of God, is satanic and should be destroyed completely in Jesus mighty name.

The prince of Persia opposed the angel bringing God’s answer of healing and restoration to Daniel’s intercession, confession of sins and repentance in prayer accompanied by prayer and fasting by blocking the angel from reaching and accessing Daniel. The prince of Persia succeeded for twenty one days until archangel Michael came to the rescue and the angel was free to reach Daniel as Michael held forth and successfully so. The prince of Persia was not alone in the blockade and barricade of the angel’s access to Daniel (Daniel Chapter 10 verse 13). He came with the kings of Persia – though the number is not specified, kings stand for plural meaning they were more than one. Secondly, they were opposed to the angel’s visit to Daniel and therefore withstood him from accessing Daniel with God’s answer of peace. In like manner, the devil and his cohorts oppose, resist, fight the grace and goodness of God in our lives. They do this using different methodologies which the Bible refers to as wiles in Ephesians Chapter 6 verses 11 to 12; strongholds, arguments and high things that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. Through these, they attempt to pollute the people of God to contaminate them and bring them into judgment so that the wrath of God rather than the mercy of God rests upon them.

God Answers Prayers

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Does God answer prayers? Yes. Are you sure? Definitely. But certainly not all prayers? How do you mean? Well, prayers to make wealth. Beloved, God answers such prayers and is waiting for you to ask. The God who gives you power to make as stated in His word answers prayers on wealth creation if prayed to Him by His children who desire to do so.

The Biblical Jabez born with quite a number of minuses petitioned God for a number of pluses including the plus of wealth creation. Please see 1^st Chronicles Chapter 4 verse 9 to 10. God honored that prayer and gave Jabez everything he requested for.

Jacob practically ran away from home without a dime after outsmarting his elder brother Esau to get the birthright. On Jacob’s way to Padan Aram, he requested wealth from God. Though Laban the Uncle he lived with at Padan Aram also tried to outwit Jacob severally; significantly, God blessed Jacob with overflowing wealth, some of which he shared with his brother Esau. Genesis  Chapter 28 verses 20 to 21 Genesis Chapter 33 verses 8 to 10.

The widow of the son of the indebted prophet also asked God for financial empowerment and provision when she took her woes of the family financial indebtedness which threatened debt bondage of her two sons to the Prophet Elisha. As she implemented the divine strategies given to her by God through Prophet Elisha for wealth creation, she discovered wealth and was free of financial lack and indebtedness. Please see 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7.

Beloved, God desires to bless His children with abundant wealth (see 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verse 9 and 1^st Samuel Chapter 2 verses 7 to 8)  but the big question is, are His children willing to ask Him, pray to Him so that He will show and teach them how to accumulate such wealth? Please see Isaiah Chapter 28 verses 23 to 29.

Experience and Enjoy Greater Glory

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. The silver [is] mine, and the gold [is] mine, saith the LORD of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts. Haggai Chapter 2 verse 7 to 9.

The Bible says that the glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former. This statement became necessary because the elders of Israel who saw the first Temple that was destroyed were not very happy with the new one.  The first temple was splendid, beautiful, and expensive, a masterpiece and fortunately the people worshipped God, praised Him from the depths of their hearts and His glory filled the temple. It was therefore a beautiful masterpiece crowned with the presence of God. Please see 2^nd Chronicles Chapter 5 verses 12 to 14, 7 verses 1 to 14, Zechariah Chapter 8 verses 20 to 23, 14 verse 14.  Overtime, the people of Israel sinned and turned away from following God to following idols. God punished them and they were overrun by Babylon, the temple was destroyed and they were taken away from their land into captivity in Babylon.
