Rule over Your Enemies

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

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

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

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

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

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

Laugh at Recessions

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. Philippians Chapter 4 verse 19; For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verse 9, NKJV.

You can laugh at recessions or what the Bible calls famine by trusting God for divine provision, harvests and expansion in times of famine. This is because the Bible records in the following Scriptures that God will always provide for His own in times of famine. They include Job Chapter 5 verses 20 and 22, Psalm 37 verse 19, Isaiah Chapter 58 verse 11, Ezekiel Chapter 34 verse 29, 36 verses 29 to 30, Genesis Chapter 26, Genesis Chapters 41 to 50. Additionally, God is not the author of famine, hunger, lack, indebtedness and insufficiency. These are circumstances that come upon people as a result of satanic manipulations, attacks and oppressions. God blesses His children with overwhelming abundance and crowns the year with His goodness. Please see Psalm 78 verses 23 to 30, 37 verse 25, 65 verse 11.

There was a famine in Gerar where Isaac lived. The logical option was to leave Gerar for any other place where weather conditions were right for farming. But as Isaac contemplated on this option, God instructed him not to leave Gerar. He obeyed God and planted precious seed in a land experiencing famine and despite the weather conditions and the state of the soil; Isaac’s seed sprouted, flourished and produced abundant harvests because God gave the increase. Please see Genesis Chapter 26. In like manner, He will bless every seed you have planted, will plant to give you abundant harvests, great increase and prosperity in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Israel and his family moved to Egypt and enjoyed great abundance and affluence at a time of global famine because God sent Joseph ahead of time to prepare the abundance. Israel and his family did not labor for the abundance they enjoyed. The Egyptians, supervised by Joseph labored for the abundance. Also, Israel and his family did not pay for the abundance. While other nations and even the Egyptians traded in money, livestock and land for food, Israel and his family enjoyed free food on account of Joseph. God Who is rich in mercy will send people ahead of you so that you will experience and enjoy unmerited super natural abundance and expansion even at a time of famine in Jesus mighty name. Please see Genesis Chapters 41 to 47 for a detailed account of how God made abundant provision for Israel in Egypt.
