Play Big to Win Big 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

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.
