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.
