Invest in Your Land

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Your land is a permanent possession given to you by God. It belongs to you and your descendants meaning that it is generational and sustainable in Jesus mighty name. This also implies that it will succeed and grow and grow in Jesus mighty name – Genesis Chapter 13 verses 14 to 18, Numbers Chapter 23 verse 19. Grow it, let it flourish, blossom and be associated with it. Be known with your God given land. Use the land or the platform to carry out the work the Lord gave you to do and not what people think you should do.

Therefore, invest in your land now irrespective of what you see. Do not wait for pleasant conditions. Invest now and reap abundant harvest in Jesus mighty name.

It is given to you and your descendants by God and therefore cannot be taken by anyone or stolen by anyone. And it is all the land – as far as you can see – great scope. No lots should be part of it.

There are also a number of benefits of tilling your land which include but are not limited to the ones captured here.

·         So that you will have sufficient bread. Please see Proverbs Chapters 12 verse 11 and 28 verse 19.

 ·         God blesses the work of your hands. Please see Psalms 85 verse 12, 104 verses 13 to 15, Zechariah Chapter 8 verse 12, Leviticus Chapter 26 verses 1 to 10, Deuteronomy Chapters 8 verses 6 to 9, 11 verses 10 to 15, 12 verses 7, 17, 14 verse 29, 15 verses 4, 10, 14, 18, 16 verses 17, 15, 23 verse 20, 24 verse 19, 28 verses 1 to 13, 30 verses 5, 9, 16.

 ·         To break up your fallow ground. There is much food in the fallow ground – Proverbs Chapter 15 verse 23, 28 verse19, 12 verse 11.

•  So as not to sow among thorns which choke to destroy the much food in the fallow ground – Jeremiah Chapter 4 verse 3. Hosea Chapter 10 verse 12.
• 
  
• Additionally, the Bible instructs farmers and herds owners in Proverbs Chapter 27 verses 23 to 27 to pay attention to their herds for those herds are wealth creation resources (they should therefore be cared for and maintained otherwise they will not bring benefits to the owner). If you do not attend to them and keep minding the herds of other people, what happens to you and your God given resources? You will be undernourished where you are minding other people’s herds while your own herd suffers. Therefore, you must give priority to your land by investing in your land. God bless you as you do so in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

 ·         To put an end to slavery. Slavery can be physical, mental, spiritual, financial, etc.  Freedom from Mental Captivity - Colossians Chapter 2 verse 8 to end, 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 10 verses 3 to 6, Colossians Chapter 3 verses 1 to 2, Psalm 126 and Psalm 24.

·     Quite significant and instructive is the fact that it was when Issachar started tilling his own land that he put an end to slavery in his lineage. This was complete destruction of the yoke of quick sands in his life and so shall it be unto you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Quick sands limit to hinder progress in life. Quick sands are situations that are difficult to escape from but with God, nothing is too difficult.

Master Craftsman

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You are here to create as God would have you create. Therefore, show great concentration and tactical discipline. Be more tactical.

Arise and walk through the land. Be observant. Take note of whatever God wants you to take note. Exercise incredible powers of observation as you do so; so that you can easily enlarge the place of your tent. Enlarge the place of your tent spiritually, physically, mentally, financially, materially and intellectually. You will experience expansion on all sides in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Set timelines but let God decide – Elijah said three and half years but God chose to stop the famine before then. There is a time for everything, God’s appointed time for specific activities, assignments and relationships.

Do not be negligent. Rein in your thoughts to meditation, prayer and prophesying. Do away with the sins of inattention, wandering thoughts, suspicion and engaging in strife and contention.

Initiate change when the need arises. Initiate the processes leading up to expansion such as the lengthening of the cords and the strengthening of the stakes.

The four lepers initiated change when they left their comfort zone at the gates of Samaria to go to the camp of the Syrian army. When the prophet spoke, the lepers made a sacrifice. They left their comfort zone -where they received alms – Psalm 37 verse 4 to the camp of the Syrians. They found abundance. Significantly, it was the anti change mindset of the officer that edged him out of the sudden abundance God created after a time of famine which culminated in women eating up their children as recorded in 2^nd Kings Chapters 6 verses 24 to 7 verses  1 to 29. For every change at every level of life, you must initiate it. When God is at work, all other theories are suspended.

Spread the word, extend the reach to grow your business

 

Let out your nets for a catch, a great catch.

Train to delegate because you will need skilled human resources to assist you as you expand on all sides.

Rule in the midst of your enemies. Do not allow your opponent to know your moves because if s/he does, s/he will use those moves against you.

Pray without ceasing because the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much. God takes over when all our efforts are over. He takes over to give us the very much needed victory.

Do Not Hang Out at the Pool

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Do not hang out at the pool (John Chapter 5). Hang out with God and His word as well as the people of God. The season of angels coming to stir the water for miracles of healing to take place is past; therefore, turn to Jesus Who has made you priests and kings to receive the myriad blessings He has for you through His shed blood at Calvary.

You do not need to access God through a High Priest. You simply kneel in your room and access God. As priests you have direct access to God – Matthew Chapter 27 verse 51 and you can and should make petitions to Him directly. You can go on your knees and access God through Jesus Christ, the Great Advocate, the Great Physician Who paid the supreme price for your sins. Jesus is the sacrifice, the perfect sacrifice. You do not need bulls and goats anymore – 1^st Peter Chapter 2 verse 5.

As priests, you can and should administer His word, His love, be witnesses of His love and power.

Kings are decorated. God will decorate you beyond your wildest imagination in Jesus mighty name.

Kings are not commanded and pushed around. No one will push you around in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

You do not know the day of your visitation. So be in every service. Hang in there. You will pull through. Do not quit. Do not give up at the edge of glory – Hebrews Chapter 12 verse 2, Psalm 30 verse 5.

God is sovereign and everything is subservient to Him. He is the Creator and Owner of everything and everything is dependent on Him. Everything that exists is within His sovereignty. Acts Chapter 9 verses 1 to 22. God will back you if you challenge whatever challenges the enemy is using to trouble you. Please read  Ecclesiastes Chapter 10 verse 7.

Enter into His rest and be who He created you and called you to be. You are designed to succeed and create immense wealth so that you are a blessing to humanity.

Go Forward - Exodus Chapter 14 verse 13 to 14, Luke Chapter 5, Romans Chapter 5 verse 17. Be bold, be strong, and be courageous. Oppose every opposition and walk in the victory Jesus Christ obtained for you at Calvary.

We often miss opportunity because it is dressed like overalls and looks like work. Thomas A. Edison. This simply implies that at times, opportunities present themselves as rags. The story of David and the Egyptian servant of the Amalekite recorded in 1^st Samuel Chapter 30 is a great example. If David had ignored the young man, he would not have not accessed the information he required to overtake the Amalekites and recover all he lost to them.

You will exceed expectations and succeed beyond your wildest dreams, not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of the Lord in Jesus mighty name.

You are not failing and will never fail in Jesus mighty name. There is hope for you in Jesus mighty name. The Ben-Hadad assigned to you and your family members is destroyed completely in Jesus mighty name.

Any Ben Hadad against you and your family members will be defeated and destroyed in Jesus mighty name. Please read Isaiah Chapter 49 verse 24 to 26.

Walk Through the Doors

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

A great and effective door as stated in 1^st Corinthians Chapter 16 verse 9 was a huge door of opportunity for good work but there was fierce opposition by those opposed to the ministry of the Apostle Paul. Please read Acts Chapter 19 and 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 2 verse 12. This implies that there are also insignificant and ineffective doors – Revelation Chapter 3 verses 7 to 8, Isaiah Chapter 22 verse 22.

In like manner, there is a door or doors that are huge business opportunities for you to create wealth but because there is so much opposition therein, you are probably afraid and have chickened out thinking that those doors were not opened by God. For instance the huge opportunities for participation in global businesses opened by the Internet in this era of digitalization is a huge door of opportunity to walk through. It may appear difficult if you do not have the skills for participation. Significantly, the skills are not rocket science. You can learn and quite easily if you put your mind to it and sell your goods and services.

You can also participate in profitable online activities – sales promotions by platforms who market your goods and services, conferences (both free and fee paying), online courses and discussions, Church online activities, as well as other large reach organizations to give you and your products and services mileage. That way you can leverage the strengths of other organizations to your advantage and profit.

These are some of the open doors God has for you that you need to walk through for them to become great and effective doors. If you do not walk through them, they do not become great and effective doors. Therefore, go to the websites and social media handles of these people and institutions to connect, link up with them and maintain contacts.

You may experience challenges but God will help you overcome whatever challenges the enemy will bring your way by the Spirit of God so that you can soar to God’s heights. Please read Deuteronomy Chapter 15 verse 6, 28 verses 11 to 13, Isaiah Chapter 10 verse 27, Nahum Chapter 1 verses 9, 13. After all, the Bible records that for this cause was the Son of Man manifested; to destroy the works of the devil. How does the Son of God destroy the works of the devil? With the word of God – He is also the Word of God. Please read Revelation Chapter 19 verses 13 to 15, Ephesians Chapter 6 verse 17b, Revelation Chapter 1 verse 16, Hebrew Chapters 1 verses 1 to 3, 11 verse 3, 4 verse 12 to 13, John Chapter 1 verses 1 to 17, 17 verse 17, Psalm 91 verse 4b, Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 8 to 11, Genesis Chapter 1, 2^nd Peter Chapter 3 verses 5 to 9.

Take on New Territories

Written by Uyoyou Charles-Iyoha

Participate in global businesses through partnerships and collaborations.. There are quite a number of them. Decide on the ones you want to participate in and make the move after careful deliberations.

Extend your borders and possess the land – Psalm 44 verses 1 to 3, Deuteronomy Chapters 2 verse 30, 2 verses 1 to 12. David and his men dispossessed the original inhabitants of Jerusalem known as the Jebusites to possess it – 2^nd Samuel Chapter 5 verses 5 to 10. The land can only become yours when you dispossess the original inhabitants; not necessarily through military warfare but through business warfare. In business, financially stronger companies acquire companies which are not as strong as they are. Others merge to become bigger and stronger. You can therefore possess the land either by acquiring the land or merging with the present owners of the land.

Invest in telecommunications.

Participate in and invest in the entertainment sector. How? Become an entertainer – musician, singer at events, comedian, dancer, actor or actress, storyteller, or invest in entertainers for a cut of their earnings.

Acquire celebrity status. This appears to be a fast way of making money in this time and age. Celebrity status gives people who have it plenty of mileage online as industries use them to advertise and market their products online.

The Wisdom of Not Saying Anything

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

It is not every divine instruction given specifically to you that you share with everyone and put in the public domain.

Elisha instructed his servant Gehazi not to say a word to anyone; not even to respond to anyone’s greeting. Rather, he should go straight to the child of the woman of Shunem and lay Elisha’s staff on the face of the child. Gehazi did as instructed. Please read 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 29 to 31. The wisdom herein is to accomplish divine purpose before speaking out.

The widow of the indebted prophet was asked to shut the door behind her as she processed and bottled the oil into the numerous borrowed vessels. Please read 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verse 7. In essence, finish processing before speaking out; in point of fact you speak to advertise and sell; not to broadcast the production processes God asked you to do in secret.

Nehemiah did not broadcast what God commanded him to do to anyone; not even when he went out at night to inspect the broken down walls and gates of Jerusalem which were burned with fire. He kept mum. It was only when Nehemiah and his men started building that people knew why Nehemiah was in Jerusalem. Please read Nehemiah Chapter 2 verses 11 to 20.

The Bible records that Mary kept everything the wise men told her and Joseph to her chest. She did not reveal them to anyone. Please read Luke Chapter 2 verses 1 to 9.

Esther kept the secret of her race to her chest until the appropriate time.

Wealth Nuggets

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Believe in yourself that you can create and sustain wealth.

You should guard the following gifts of God in your life jealously; the awesome sanctifying Presence of God by His Holy Spirit, the rich deposit of the word of God coupled with understanding of the word of God, the divine gift of time – twenty four hours each day to be invested as God would have you invest it and not as man would; the divine gift of writing, dancing, singing, painting, drawing, designing, speaking divine and unique gift of solving problems – providing solutions to what appears to be great challenges and problems just like  Joseph, Daniel, Jacob, Esther, David and Elisha did.

Intellectual prowess, mental alacrity, artistic excellence and ability to spot danger from afar and avert it (intuition, word of knowledge and wisdom are great gifts and assets to treasure as well).

Have an identity and purpose so that you do not cluster with the herd, having no sense of identity and purpose, and doing just what everyone else is doing whether they are right or not.

Do not lose your individuality and your identity to the herd.

Build trust. Make it a habit not to say what you do not mean. It will make you a more reliable person that people can trust and do business with.

Also, make it a habit not to agree with I can’t. This means that you make and take conscious deliberate steps to reject what speaks of I can’t which is satanically designed to limit you from doing what should be done.

Be productive, stop being a consumer. Solve problems and create wealth. Solve problems that no one else can solve.  Always have answers where people have questions and that will lead to a divine transfer of wealth. Do not wait. Start now.

Hone problem solving skills.

Business is not a bag of emotions. Business is hard and smart work. So do not be emotional when making business decisions.

Preach Your Way to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Gone are the days when people required physical structures to preach the gospel. In this day and age, the gospel can be preached online from a mobile phone in your sitting room or bedroom to thousands of people. This simply implies that online Churches are hot and selling especially to the billions of people in the online community. Significantly, it does not cost so much money to set up an online Church. All you require is any of the free platforms online to start. YouTube, GodTube, Church Online, Facebook, and many other such free platforms can jump start you into a flourishing online Church.

An online Church may not bring in tithes and offerings but souls will be saved which is the primary reason for preaching the gospel. Additionally, the sick whether physical ailments, spiritual ailments, mental ailments, marital ailments, financial ailments will receive healing as the gospel is preached in truth and righteousness in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Churches are not planted for the sake of receiving tithes and offerings. Churches are planted to bring people to Christ and root them in Christ so that they can also reach more people for Christ. Therefore, do not allow the issue of tithes and offerings bother you as you work your way preaching the gospel in an online Church. God Who is always the great Provider knows what to do to bring the resources you require for your ministry your way in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Besides, as your audience grows and subscribers to your channel grows, you can earn income from ads on the site as well as publicity and sale of Christian resources. But most importantly is the greater reach for evangelism.

Beloved, you can preach to the world in your online Church, your YouTube channel or any other platform used for the preaching of the gospel. Preach to the world through your online Church especially if God called you to a global audience and not a local community Church audience. You can worship in a local assembly but ensure your ministry is global and online. Over time, you will have a growing audience online, which is where your audience is.

Always Expand Resources

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God promised to expand Jacob on all sides – the West, the East, the North and the South in Genesis Chapter 28 verses 13 to 15. After sojourning in Padan-Aram for twenty years, Jacob could boldly declare that God had increased him and had prospered him from a single individual who crossed the Jordan with his staff to two companies – two wives, two concubines, thirteen children and a horde of flocks as well as servants. What more could a person ask for?  Please read Genesis Chapter 32 verses 9 to 10 and 36 verses 6 to 8.

Expansion is of God and it is the will of God for His children. However, expansion comes by expanding the resources at your disposal. Jesus always did so. For instance, the feeding of over five and four thousands of people with the available little resources that were expanded. Elisha’s supposedly insufficient bread also compounded to feed the many people around him.

The widow of the indebted prophet was able to expand the supposed only a jar of oil into several vessels of oil because she obeyed the divine instructions relayed to her through the Prophet Elisha. This implies that obedience to divine instructions is a major factor in expanding resources. As long as she worked her land, the resources available to her compounded and solved the problem of financial indebtedness in her family. The threat of debt slavery disappeared and she and her sons were free to live in financial freedom.

The virtuous woman of Proverbs Chapter 31 is celebrated for not eating the bread of idleness. Please see Proverbs Chapter 31 verse 27. She consistently expanded resources as she grew from fashion designing and production of clothes to growing a vineyard. Contrast the life and activities of this unnamed woman in the Bible with the unnamed young man of Proverbs Chapter 24 verses 30 to 34 described as devoid of understanding. God had already blessed him with everything required for his daily divine provision and expansion yet he refused to work his land like the following people mentioned in Ecclesiastes Chapter 10 verse 8, Proverbs Chapter 18 verse 9, 19 verse 24, 26 verse 15, 12 verse 27 did.

Beloved, God hates complacency. Complacency attracts punishment from God – Zephaniah Chapter 1 verses 12 to 13. Please read also Luke Chapter 12 verses 13 to 22, take note of verse 19; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry; rather than work harder, earn more and share with other people. Complacency does not expand resources. It depletes resources. But diligence expands resources.

The Secret to Rehoboth

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Rehoboth refers to expansion, actually wide open spaces to expand, to bear more fruit, to prosper, to flourish, to stretch out, and to increase on every side. But such spaces do not fall on anyone like a bag of cherries. They are gifts from God for the attainment of divine purpose.

Beloved, Jehovah El-Shaddai, the Lord is Your Shepherd. Rather allow God to shepherd you. God Who is your faithful source and ever present provider will always supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

The secret to Rehoboth is to walk away from strife and contention. Therefore, refuse to contend with anyone over anything be they material resources, financial resources, anything whatsoever. Beloved, refuse to be part of contention and strife over resources. Wherever people are contending over resources, take a walk which will ultimately lead you to God’s green pastures for you.

Abraham walked away from contention over resources and he got Canaan as a permanent possession. Lot who chose the verdant land of Sodom and Gomorrah lost everything. Emulate Abraham, Isaac, and the Apostles in the Early Church; and significantly follow in the steps of Jesus Christ, the Creator of the heavens and the earth Who lived among humans yet did not contend with anyone over any resource despite the fact that He owns everything.

Isaac walked away from the strife and contention in Gerar and God gave him Rehoboth. Significantly, the same people who constantly contended with him over resources were the people who came to him at Rehoboth. Please read the entire chapter of Genesis 26 for insight.

Make Yourself Visible – Global Visibility

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew Chapter 5 verses 14 to 16

A huge crowd followed Jesus, the reason being that they were attracted by the miracles they saw Him perform among the sick; and the reason for the miracles was that He was teaching the people the word of God as well as the ways of God. Please read Luke Chapters 5 verse 17, 4 verse 43 and 6 verses 17 to 19. It is also significant to note that His teaching sessions were always preceded by prayers; prayers He prayed alone with God before interfacing with the multitudes. Please read Luke Chapters 5 verse 16 and 6 verse 12. Jesus kept preaching, teaching and praying while on planet earth as human. Beloved, you can learn from Jesus Christ whose primary goal was to reconcile humanity to God and not just to attract a following.

You can attract a huge crowd around you if you focus on achieving divine purpose rather than just getting a following. Focus on God and what He wants you to do and not what you think you should be doing. The publicity and the fame is not the work. The work is implementing and fulfilling divine purpose to bring about positive transformation in the lives of people. People who run after fame and publicity fade like roses after a while; here today and gone tomorrow. But purpose driven people are timeless and relevant.

Deploy social media to great advantage and make yourself visible globally. But ensure you have a message which brings about transformation to the lives of people so that the quality of their lives is greatly improved.

Grow your audience. It is not a one off activity. It is a process, daily, weekly, monthly, annual activity which requires great diligence. The key is to keep adding to your existing number of followers and friends on social media irrespective of how large the audience appears to be. No audience is ever large enough for the people God wants to reach through you. KEEP ADDING. However, if you allow God to guide you in growing your audience, you will realize that certain people God led you to follow and those who are following you is to achieve divine purpose.

Write Your Way to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You can actually write your way to wealth by generating life transforming content, which is engaging and enriching. Some very wealthy writers are J.K.Rowling and Linda Ikeji

You will need to collect the resources you require to write whatever it is you need to write by collecting your thoughts on what you want to write about. This refers to high quality of thoughts – carefully thought out ideas and words, phrases, paragraphs, opening, middle and closing paragraphs. That is why you must be diligent in the production of your books, blogsposts, videos and podcasts. You should pay attention to details, dot every i and cross every t; be certain that whatever you write is what God wants to say to His people and not necessarily what you think He should say or you should say or add to what God wants to say to His people.

You will also need to collect any other additional information which you may require to ensure you have great content. This means that you will write with greater depth, knowledge, understanding and wisdom to bring divine transformation in the lives of the people God wants you to write for. It also implies that you do not always have to state the obvious in your writing. People already know the obvious. What people want is how the obvious can be applied to the daily grind of their lives to bring about their desired expectations and transformation. So it is not about quantity but quality - what exactly God wants to bless His people with, what will bring God’s healing unction on and to the nations. What is therefore key and strategic is that your writing impacts and transforms lives for God.     

Do not write to please the world, the way other supposedly successful writers are writing. Write to please God and God will raise faithful followers, buyers and reviewers for you. Writing and publishing is a great tool and platform to take the message, the word, the prophecies God has for His people to the nations of the world. It is not necessarily boarding flights to several destinations in the world. The books will go where you cannot go, the podcasts and videos too will also go where you cannot go.

The gift of writing and related gifts such as editing, publishing, book reviews, marketing, research, training, speaking are for money making and not necessarily for frivolities or working the lands of other people for free. Use your gift of writing and related skills to make money in addition to writing and selling your own books. Therefore, write and publish books, blog posts; do not give up or give in. Post. Publish and sell until you see the desired results.

Hone Problem Solving Skills to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

…..Pharaoh sent at once for Joseph. He was brought hastily from the dungeon, and after a quick shave and change of clothes, came in before Pharaoh....Both dreams mean the same thing, Joseph told Pharaoh. God was telling you what he is going to do here in the land of Egypt. The seven fat cows (and also the seven fat, well formed heads of grain) mean that there are seven years of prosperity ahead. The seven skinny cows (and also the seven thin and withered heads of grain) indicate that there will be seven years of famine following the seven years of prosperity.  … Joseph's suggestions were well received by Pharaoh and his assistants. As they discussed who should be appointed for the job, Pharaoh said, who could do it better than Joseph? For he is a man who is obviously filled with the Spirit of God. Turning to Joseph, Pharaoh said to him, since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, you are the wisest man in the country! I am hereby appointing you to be in charge of this entire project. What you say goes throughout all the land of Egypt. I alone will outrank you. Then Pharaoh placed his own signet ring on Joseph's finger as a token of his authority, and dressed him in beautiful clothing and placed the royal gold chain about his neck and declared, See, I have placed you in charge of all the land of Egypt. …..   Genesis Chapter 41, TLB, The Family Devotions Bible.

You can and should unlock the billions and trillions as well as the billions in you by honing the problem solving skills God deposited in you at creation. The biblical Daniel rose to great wealth, prestige, power and honor in the empires of Babylon, Persia and the Medes by solving problems for the different Kings he served under. You can and should also increase your sphere of influence by solving problems for the right people who can pay you well.

Daniel for instance started out as a trainee in the King’s court. His outstanding performance at graduation time earned him a place in the inner court. That is to say that he served the King directly; significantly alongside his three friends. But that was only the start point for Daniel as God had both prepared and positioned him for greater works in order to exercise a greater sphere of influence in the Babylonian, Medo-Persian and later the Persian Empire.

Progressively, Daniel moved up the ladder from serving the King directly to taking charge of weightier matters of state for the King.

SELL! SELL!! SELL!!!

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Deliberately position yourself, your goods and services to be globally visible. Hire a publicist if you need to do so. Also, ask God to have mercy on you and help you get global publicity on a daily basis as well as missionary customers in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen and thank You, Jesus.

Advertise your products and services to your target audience. Do it daily, weekly and monthly to keep the products and services on the front burner as well as keep the fire burning. Please read Mark Chapter 7 verse 36.  You can also intersperse ads of your products and services with whatever you share on social media and your blogs, YOUTUBE channels. Sustained daily adverts on all known social media platforms will stretch global visibility to as long as its elasticity allows.

Twitter for instance appears to be a platform for writers, authors, book publishers, buyers, marketers, promoters, reviewers, readers, bloggers, etc. Therefore advertise daily on twitter if you are an author of books in order to connect with people globally to share information about your books as well as mobilize people to support a cause or campaign in any of your books.

Be a Distributor of Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The Wisdom of Charitable Acts

Wisdom is the ability to use knowledge, the gift of knowing what to do when you do not know what to do. That is why the Bible refers to wisdom as the principal thing. In all thy getting, get wisdom.

Wisdom is the gateway to life – life in Christ Jesus and the numerous benefits of a life in Christ. Wisdom is a byproduct of a fervent loving relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Wealth, true wealth in Christ Jesus is a byproduct of wisdom.

Wisdom is what grants a person loved by God and who is also in love with God through Christ Jesus access to wealth, endurable or sustainable wealth /riches. Material and financial affluence are byproducts of wealth, a byproduct of wisdom.

Problem solving skills are a gift from God to enrich you. They should therefore not be thrown at swine. Mother Teresa possessed incredible problem solving skills which she used for the benefit of the poor and vulnerable in society.

Was Mother Teresa wealthy? Yes and if permit me, she was very very wealthy, in point of fact, a trillionaire. How? She fed many poor people, sheltered many homeless people, cared for and nursed a number of sick people back to health, put smiles on the faces of many people who had lost hope and confidence. Mother Teresa restored hope to the hopeless and gave dignity to those society had cast away. She was truly wealthy as she sacrificed what could have been a life of comfort and luxury for the poor and vulnerable in India to have life and dignity. Her wealth cannot actually be defined or categorized.

The wisdom of charitable acts is wealth untold. When you feed the poor and vulnerable; and enrich the lives of other people with great acts of kindness, then you are truly wealthy in Christ Jesus.

Create Wealth 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

IT IS POSSIBLE.  Wealth does not reside in the stratosphere. Wealth resides in your mind. Therefore, dig the wealth you desire and which other people require from you out of your mind by thinking creatively and strategically on how to access great wealth as well as bless humanity with great wealth.

A fervent loving relationship with God is always a precursor to great wealth. King Solomon chose to invest in such a relationship with God. God rewarded him with great wisdom, great wealth and long life. People came from far and wide and blessed him with great wealth. He also invested in businesses, working with people from other nations. While creating personal and national wealth, King Solomon also made other people wealthy. The people who worked for him also became wealthy from doing businesses with him and working for him.

God is awesome. He granted King Solomon divine access to great wealth, a clear demonstration of what is recorded in Proverbs Chapter 8 verses 13 to 21, Isaiah Chapters 45 verses 1 to 3 and 60. It is also quite significant and instructive to know that King Solomon did not sit pretty to wait for the divinely promised wealth to land on him like a bag of cherries. He activated the wealth by investing in businesses; partnering with people who knew and understood them.

Secondly, King Solomon had great integrity. He did not undercut anyone of his partners in the process of doing business with them. He also shared profits with them. It was a win win for everyone concerned. It is also not on record that the people who bought goods from King Solomon’s partners complained of being cheated or being supplied with low quality goods.

Create Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Do not manage or alleviate poverty. Create wealth. Make wealth happen. Become an active participant in the global wealth making process. Take up your space and become a wealth creator.

Poverty resides in the mindset and mental processes of people. Therefore, to eliminate or eradicate poverty, you need to work on your mindset and mental processes; to ensure a mental paradigm shift from managing poverty to creating wealth. This implies that you must enhance your personal capacity to think so that you can always think creatively and strategically outside of the box in order to create wealth.

To think creatively and strategically then requires that you get rid of whatever mental clutter that had been obstructing your mental processes irrespective of the size. Mental clutter always constitutes obstacles to progress and they impede progress in the creative and strategic planning process. Muddled up mental processes do not think and therefore cannot think creatively and strategically outside of the box. This is because they worry and fret rather than think.

Thinking is hard work which requires that you deploy your creative juices to get out of miry situations; as well as access wealth, billions and trillions. This may appear herculean if you are not used to thinking creatively and strategically. But the good news is that it can be done if you simply cooperate with the Holy Spirit to deploy your mental processes in being a blessing to humanity.

Become a Global Brand

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God called you to a global audience and not a local community audience. You may have been called from a local community that is not even known globally yet like the Biblical Prophet Jeremiah, you are called to serve a global audience which God prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Therefore, get to work and take advantage of whatever intangible and tangible assets that God blessed you with. You can start local but you are a global brand. So do not get into unnecessary contention and activities which take you away from your global audience. Work at excelling at what you do so that you can become a much preferred global brand. People everywhere love quality goods and services and if you attach great quality to whatever you do, it will not be long before you become a key, important and strategic player in the global market.

You may appear to currently lack the resources you require to serve a global audience but beloved child of God, think a little strategically and you will discover that everything you require to serve your divinely chosen global audience is embedded in you in Christ Jesus. All you need to is yield completely to Christ Jesus and you will access everything you require effortlessly from God’s throne of grace.

Play Big to Win Big 2

Be more organized

Be more organized mentally, spiritually, physically, financially so that you can easily find all that God blessed you with; blessings which you have been searching for in non-existent places because you are not organized. Organization will lead you easily to them. Therefore, keep organizing as God would have you organize.

Network and Collaborate

Always network to find the right partners so that you can collaborate with them; to mobilize resources and manage them effectively and optimally. Focus on collaborations with God ordained and God directed partners who will give you mileage and the resources you require for success and wealth.

Clean Out

Clean out as soon as you need to clean out and be where God wants you to be rather than waiting for a special time to clean out and you are hanging where you should not be because you have not cleaned out. Get the resources you need to clean out; in point of fact, ask God for them. Therefore, MOVE. Move away from enough, sufficient, abundance to overflowing abundance. Move from abundance to overflowing abundance. Move spiritually, mentally, physically, financially and in whatever area you need to move. Move in every area of life from abundance to overflowing abundance in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Feed Fat on the Word of God

Jesus Christ is the word of God made flesh. As you fellowship with the word of God daily, you encounter Jesus Christ – the beautiful Rose of Sharon, Lily of the valley, the Resurrection and the Life, Living Word, the Great Physician, Savior, Redeemer, Justifier, Sanctifier, Healer, the Bread of Life, the Good Shepherd. Jesus Christ is the light of the world. Please read John Chapters 8 verse 12; 9 verse 5; 12 verses 35 to 36, 46; 1 verses 1 to 10, Genesis Chapter 1, Luke Chapter 1 verses 78 to 79, Isaiah Chapters 9 verse 2; 60, note verses 1 to 3, 19 to 20, Psalm 107 verses 10 to 14.

Light brings clarity, understanding, blurts out darkness, fear, confusion, wandering, emptiness, torment, oppression, suppression, lack of development, affliction, pain, sorrow and every ill that comes with darkness. Please read Psalm 107 verses 10 to 14, Isaiah Chapter 9 verse 2 and Luke Chapter 1 verses 78 to 79.

Play Big to Win Big

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Play big is a common parlance in the stakes. But in the game of life, you do not play big on a hunch. You play big on the basis of the word of God that is infallible because the word of God is God and therefore cannot fail. Embedded in your field is everything you need; money, fame, publicity, ministry, celebrity status, opportunities and platforms to serve God faithfully and lovingly; to excel in business and academics. Therefore, no more wandering in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. It is time to launch out into the deep; away from your local arena into the global marketplace where you belong. Therefore, stop playing small, in small arenas.

This is because your field is a very successful global brand. Make it a billion dollar enterprise and you are a billionaire. Make it globally sought after and you are globally sought after. Toy with it and you will be toyed with. Refuse to work it and you will be enslaved tilling the lands of other people. There are many successful, wealthy and influential people who arrived where they are in both history and today because they worked their lands.

Therefore play big by working your field intelligently; in big arenas and significantly in the global marketplace. You have all it takes to work it to a very successful; globally relevant brand, acceptable, relevant and on high demand globally. GET TO WORK.

Value You

Place great value on you; the value God placed on you from the foundation of the world. God created you great to achieve great things for Him. He also bought you with a huge price from the kingdom of darkness. Please read 1^st Peter Chapter 2 verses 9 to 10. Therefore, place the right value on yourself. Do not allow anyone tone down your value. Rather, consistently upgrade your value by the Spirit of God. Do not play second fiddle to anyone. Be who God created you to be – a global brand, relevant, dominant and significant. Move forward.

Local, national and global acceptance are gifts from God to anyone. They do not happen by chance. God is the One Who makes the people to like, accept and honor a person. Please read  1^st Chronicles Chapter 29 verses 22 to 25. Solomon was accepted as King in Israel by both the leadership of Israel and the sons of his father because God put it in the heart of the people to do so.

David was accepted by the people of Israel to be King after the death of Saul and Jonathan. The people were the ones who took the decision to crown David King over Israel. Please read 2^nd Samuel Chapter 5 verses 1 to 5.

Take advantage of the current global visibility and acceptance God has given to you to be globally relevant, highly sought after, significant and dominant. Be a global household name in proffering your divinely given and accessed unlimited timeless cutting edge solutions and resources.

Sell Your Way to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

One day the widow of a member of the group of prophets came to Elisha and cried out, “My husband who served you is dead, and you know how he feared the Lord. But now a creditor has come, threatening to take my two sons as slaves.”  “What can I do to help you?” Elisha asked. “Tell me, what do you have in the house?” “Nothing at all, except a flask of olive oil,” she replied.  And Elisha said, “Borrow as many empty jars as you can from your friends and neighbors.  Then go into your house with your sons and shut the door behind you. Pour olive oil from your flask into the jars, setting each one aside when it is filled.”  So she did as she was told. Her sons kept bringing jars to her, and she filled one after another.  Soon every container was full to the brim! “Bring me another jar,” she said to one of her sons. “There aren’t any more!” he told her. And then the olive oil stopped flowing. When she told the man of God what had happened, he said to her, “Now sell the olive oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on what is left over.”  2nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7, NLT.

SELL! SELL!! SELL!!!

Sell knowledge

Sell expertise and knowledge for a fee. How? Knowledge can be packaged in books – print, audio, and e-books; as fee paying courses taught at seminars, workshops, conferences, as messages in audio formats such as teaching messages of pastors, motivational speakers, life coaches, music in either audio or MP3 formats, as movies, TV series, talk shows, documentaries, reality shows, cartoons, etc. King Solomon, Daniel and Joseph sold knowledge in different formats.

For instance, I was instructed by God to write my way out of poverty. As I commenced writing, first the Olives International magazine and later the website, followed by my YouTube channels, I also discovered that there were other streams of income embedded in these platforms. For instance, I could earn additional income on my websites and channels through ad sales, affiliate marketing or outright sale of these platforms. But what shocked me most was the fact that I could create a networking platform for wealth creators to interact and socialize online. I could also design wealth creation courses which eventually birthed the wealth creation institute – Olives College designed to teach people to create wealth, build entrepreneurs, as well as create wealth by engaging in wealth building activities.

I realized that all I had to do when people come to seek requisite knowledge and wisdom to solve some of their problems is to give them tidbits and direct them to my books and websites for additional information so that they can study and only return if they do not gain full understanding to request full understanding for a fee. This is where workshops, seminars and coaching services came in. I simply ask the people to find twenty nine more people for the seminar and then teach for a fee. This way, people learn to work through and solve their problems. They did not have to delegate the work of solving their problems to me.

Convert Your Interests, Passions and Hobbies to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Interests, passions and hobbies differ from person to person, families, communities and nations. This is no surprise as God created every person uniquely for divine reasons and purposes.

That explains why your interests, passions and hobbies are divine seeds deposited in you from the foundation of the world. These seeds deposited in you for great divine purposes are also your keys to overwhelming financial abundance. These seeds are also great and effective doors for earning and making money as well as potentials of greatness. Beloved, until you discover your seeds, understand them so that you can easily recognize them at every instance they show up, you cannot really fruit to wealth and greatness. The pertinent question I dare to ask you, beloved, is do you know, understand and instantly recognize your seeds? If you do, then activate these gifts, work them, and use them as launch pads to make wealth.

If for instance you love making jewelry and accessories generally; you can convert things which appear ordinary, unattractive and insignificant, sometimes considered trash and actually given up as trash into beautiful jewelry and accessories. I for one really love doing this and sometimes sell such pieces or give them out as gifts to people who appreciate them. The pertinent question is, can it become a business as well as a way of conserving things?

Perhaps you enjoy collecting beautiful, rare and valuable pieces, for personal use, safe keeping, converting them or re-purposing them or as gift items. I also do same especially for household items – mugs, plates, spoons, pots, table clocks, perfume and wine bottles. I actually enjoy collecting these items and converting them to accessories and house décor items. You can also collect antiques and sell to make money. Yes, you can keep some but you do not keep collecting to store away. Collect to make money by selling them. Just in case you are wondering where on earth you can sell such items if you live in countries where there are no antique shops, beloved, the world is now a global village. You can actually sell online if you link up with the right sales platforms.

Could this become a business considering that you really enjoy doing this and you always have a knack for collecting rare choice items for usually next to nothing?

The Intrinsic Value of Intangible Assets

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Intangible assets are the greatest of assets. This is because they are indestructible and cannot be stolen from the owner of the assets. Significantly and quite instructive is the fact that intangible assets are limitless and therefore inexhaustible and to a large extent, they are not difficult to mine. But some tangible assets are not only difficult to access and mine, they are inexhaustible.

Many people came from many different nations to see King Solomon; not because he had the most appealing face; the greatest wealth or harem; or that his country was resource rich: but to hear his famed divine wisdom and understanding given to him by God. And as they came to see him, they brought gifts (tangible assets) of silver, gold and articles of choice clothing to him. These tangible assets added up to King Solomon’s vast financial resources from trade and tributes. Significantly, the trade was also a function of his divine wisdom, for instance monopolizing the trade in horses and chariots in his region; as well as partnering with Hiram of Lebanon to trade valuable resources at sea. King Solomon certainly knew how to trade his intangible assets for tangible assets.

Ideally, you should have something which no other person has so that people can look up to you and most importantly, you can trade it for what you need. That way, you will be a city set on a hill and an attraction to the world. Beloved, you are divinely wired with intangible assets; some of which you are even unaware of. It may be the call of God on your life which you probably despise because you think it will make you insignificant. But the truth is that God calls you to greater heights and wants to showcase you to the world. Joseph is a classic biblical example.

God Still Heals

Prosperity is a Process

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Prosperity is the divine birthright of every child of God and can and should be accessed at all times, easily and lovingly. How? That is where the teachings on prosperity in the word of God come in. The Bible teaches that you are born to prosper and flourish in Christ Jesus; not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of God. Please read 3^rd John 1 and 2.

Prosperity is a process. It is not a one off activity. It is a series of sustained activities, actions, utterances tailored to increase, abundance and prosperity. It is not a code. It is not a one size shoe or dress which fits all.

There are customized processes to accommodate everyone to prosper; not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of God. That explains why people in diverse professions, trade and industry who understand what prosperity is always prosper irrespective of where they are located.

Significantly, God is the One Who brings about the prosperity. He made everything that Joseph did to prosper.

He blessed King Solomon with great wealth. How? He gave Solomon uncommon wisdom which made Solomon highly sought after and handsomely remunerated by Kings and leaders from nations around him. Additionally, God made all of Solomon’s businesses to prosper.  Solomon enjoyed divine favor both from God and humans. People and nations loved to do business with him and lived at peace with him and Israel.

Pay Attention to Details 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Therefore, invest time and resources in living a life of excellence, producing quality work, services and products, relationships etc. The rewards of excellence far outweigh the handouts from doing anything shabbily or just to get by so that you can flow with the crowd. Cut out from the crowd of mediocre people. Mediocrity is not of God because God is excellent and His Spirit of excellence is available to as many people who request the grace to provide excellent services and products. Secondly, Mediocrity does not lead to fruitfulness and multiplication. Only excellence and diligence do. Therefore, separate yourself from mediocre people and mediocrity. Give mediocrity, mediocre people, their services and products a very wide berth. Move away at the speed of light from drab, ordinary, average, good, better to being the BEST. IT IS POSSIBLE.

Excellence is inspiring and motivates. Significantly, excellence does not necessarily have to be bought with money though money is sometimes required to produce excellent services and products. Everything about what you do should speak of excellence. Do not bother yourself about how other people are doing their jobs. Rather, focus on what God wants you to do, how to do it, when to do it, where to do it and why you should do it. That way, you will always render excellent services and produce excellent products. Instructively, excellent services and products attract quality people and their resources to your business. And even if you are an employee, your bosses will be impressed with the quality of your work and move you up the ladder. You can ask the biblical Joseph, Daniel and Huram who served kings and not insignificant people.  Please read Proverbs Chapter 22 verse 29.

Pay Attention to Details

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

There is actually nothing like luxury. The truth is that what is branded as luxury is actually high quality, the crème de la crème of quality in terms of materials used for production, designing, the entire production process as well as the finish. That explains why luxury goods have great aesthetics, great fit, wonderful functionality and durability. What this also implies is that anyone can actually produce luxury goods without necessarily being branded as a luxury brand; though every producer of quality goods  and services eventually turns out to be a producer of luxury goods and services and acquires the status of a luxury brand as well as all the perks associated with luxury goods such as high prices, loyal clients and high patronage (people who are used to luxury goods and services always stick to luxury goods irrespective of the pricing as they cannot afford to use lower quality goods and services).

A case in point are techies who use a certain brand of computers and phones especially programmers. Because of the ease of using these products especially in writing codes, they find it extremely difficult to use other brands. I am not a fan of that brand and I am not making a case for the brand either. It is simply that I have worked closely with techies who use these products. They would not touch other products and they have advised me severally to start using these products. Unfortunately, I cannot afford them. Secondly, I am not a programmer though I am an advanced user of technology.

Producers of luxury goods and services pay attention to details, the design, finish and choice of materials. Significantly, the precision is always right. You can also move up that ladder by improving on and enhancing the aesthetic appeal and value of whatever it is you do. You can do this by insisting on and providing excellent services and products; by always setting very high standards; and please make efforts to exceed them. Pay attention to details even the very minutest of details such as color, background, choice of diction, graphics, etc. All of these will add great value to what you do because you would have enhanced quality in the process.

Push out into Deep Water

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Move away from where you are now to where God wants you to be in 2020. Peter and his colleagues labored fruitlessly all through the night but when Jesus Christ instructed them to push out into deep water; where significantly, God wanted him to be at that point in time; and he obeyed, Peter and his colleagues’ harvested abundance.

Beloved, move away, NOW from fruitless labors to FRUITFUL LABORS by pushing out into the deep waters God planned and purposed for you from the foundation of the world. That is to say that there is a divine place and time for you to harvest and enjoy abundance if only you will pay attention to God and be where He wants you to be.

Beloved, pay attention to God through the Holy Spirit to get the specific location as Peter got – into deep water and not shallow water. Peter was also instructed on the specific activities to engage in – launch out your nets for a catch. Beloved, get your clear specific instructions and obey God. You will definitely have sure harvests and abundance in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

You may have to learn new skills, interact with and collaborate with a new set of partners, build strategic alliances that are purposeful to your new destination and activities. Go ahead and do so. Also, LEARN TO APPLY NEW SKILLS; DEPLOY LATENT EXPERTISE in your deep waters and harvest abundance in 2020 and beyond in the name of Jesus Christ.
