Wisdom for Seed Planting 3 - The Wayside Heart

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The wayside heart is grossly unprepared for the gospel. Consequently, it cannot process the gospel which explains why the seed of the gospel planted in it is carelessly trampled upon and devoured. In like manner, business and money making ideas, products and services taken to the wayside ground will automatically fizzle out, the products and services will be treated as scum, disdained, rejected and if you have no idea who you are and what the quality of your products and services are; you will lose confidence in yourself, your ideas, products and services and will not have the confidence you require to multiply and compound your resources to wealth and success and be the blessing God created you to be to humanity. Why is that so? Because you took what is of value to a ground that is not prepared for value, does not know value, appreciate value and is therefore not receptive to value. What happens? That value is trampled down and devoured.

Step Up Your Game 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Institutionalize and put relevant structures on ground so that you can flourish and bloom with your God given vision. Instituting the God ordained structures that impact to transform humanity which you have been instructed to institute by the Holy Spirit will speed up processes for you and give you great mileage ahead of your competition.

Be more friendly. It is said that people who smile and are friendly are usually welcome anywhere. This is because people care about how much you care about them and not necessarily what you know though what you know may also come in handy.

Treat people with respect. Truth, integrity, honesty, rule of law and respect for others is not a sign of weakness. Besides, you never can tell; great people sometimes come in small packages. 

Be more generous. Generosity always has the capacity to enlarge you. Therefore give because it is more blessed to give than to receive and anything given is a seed and because seeds always germinate and produce a harvest in response to the law of seed time and harvest, your giving will always bring blessings to you if done in line with the will of God for your life. Every opportunity to give is an opportunity to be blessed. When you give you provoke the law of giving –Please see Genesis Chapter 8 verse 22 and Luke Chapter 6 verse 38. Every seed in your hand is pregnant with plantations. You can count the number of seeds in an orange but you cannot count the number of oranges in a seed. Give of your time, talent and treasure – Luke Chapter 9 verses 14 to 17. 

Step Up Your Game 1

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Diligence is careful and thorough work or effort while to be diligent is show care and effort in your work or duties. This means paying attention to details, getting accurate information to ensure your ts are crossed and your is are dotted, you know the meaning of words before using them. Diligence speaks about organization and order. From How to Labor for Profit by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

To step up your game implies that you have already have an ongoing game. But wherever you are in that game and irrespective of whatever successes you have achieved, you still have more ground to cover as you have not seen your best days yet. Therefore, take a quality decision to step up your game. How, you may ask. 

Be more diligent in whatever God assigned you to do on planet earth. The widow of the indebted prophet was asked to SELL the Oil she had, PAY her Debts and LIVE on the Rest. Please take note of the Key phrases such as a jar of oil, GO implying that she should move, possibly from her comfort zone as well as act. Additionally, she was asked to borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbours. The prophet was very specific in his instructions to the widow; she was to borrow vessels from everywhere, all her neighbours, and significantly, empty vessels in large quantities (many, as many as you can borrow. She was also to shut the door behind her (avoid distractions, run away from them; focus, concentrate on what has to be done). Pour the jar of oil into all the vessels, and as each vessel is filled, set it aside so that you have the filled vessels on one side and the empty vessels on one side. The widow followed through on every one of the instructions and significantly became not only debt free but financially free for the rest of her life. 

The virtuous woman of Proverbs Chapter 31 verses 10 to 31 consistently stretched out the curtains to enlarge her tent in about every area of life – as a child of God, as a wife, as a mother, as a mistress and leader in the home, as a business woman and as an individual in her community.  She diligently and intelligently stretched out her curtains, reinvesting profits in diverse businesses; always considering the implications of doing so. She is a role model.

Strategize Your Way to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Strategize your wardrobe. Perhaps your present wardrobe denies you access to certain people, organizations, communities and nations you require in your journey to wealth; commonsense dictates that you strategize your wardrobe by acquiring the necessary clothes and accessories that will grant you access to the wealth making opportunities God blessed you with. Though Joseph could interpret Pharaoh’s dreams, he did not show up before Pharaoh and his court in shabby clothes. He changed into decent clothes from the prison clothes he was used to. Please see Genesis Chapter 41 verse 14. He even shaved – decent grooming. Esther was specially groomed and clothed to appear before the King. Please see Esther Chapter 2 verses 3, 9, 12, and 15 to 17. Naomi instructed Ruth to groom and dress well before going to see Boaz. Beloved, no one needs to rob a bank to groom and dress well. Make enquiries if you do not know. Better still, ask the Holy Spirit. God will help you to dress well in Jesus mighty name. He will give you the wisdom to pick up different pieces and put them together intelligently for that powerful, knowledgeable classy business look.

Strategize your knowledgebase

A limited knowledgebase which denies you access to wealth creating people, institutions, communities and nations should be broadened to accommodate the knowledge requirements of the wealth making opportunities God blessed you with. Acquire not only the relevant knowledge required but additional knowledge that will come in handy when necessary. That was exactly what propelled Joseph to the top in Egypt.  He was called in to interpret the dreams of Pharaoh but Joseph went beyond interpreting the dreams. He proffered the required solutions to the challenges posed by the dream. That was what granted Joseph unrestricted access to the royalty, wealthy and powerful in Egypt. Significantly, he also became powerful, in point of fact, very powerful and wealthy in Egypt.

Strategize your Speech/Utterances

Powerful business presentations whether in formal speech or informal discourses are a function of strategic speech and utterances based on relevant knowledge, informed but strategic diction, thoughtfully connected sentences in which ideas flow into each other seamlessly and understandably. The biblical Abigail was very strategic in her presentation to David. That saved the day and much later she became the wife of David. Do not let your speech and utterances give you away as a thoughtless, indiscreet and tactless person, ignorant person, foolish or stupid or inconsiderate person. Organize your speech and utterances in such a way that they are seasoned with salt. Always know the appropriate and relevant statements to make at every event and to everyone.

Your schedules can give you away as a person who has nothing to do. How? Strategize your schedules in such a way that you appear to be constantly engaged and in high demand. What this does for you is that it increases your value, your consultation fees and if you actually know what you are doing, you become a provider of high end quality services to high end users and of course  you get high end user fees. A word of caution – try to always keep every appointment made with people so that you come off as someone who can be relied upon and therefore dependable. A person who stands people up all the time is considered rude and unreliable. You do not want such a label tagged to you and your personality. Also avoid lateness as it speaks of irresponsibility and utter disrespect to people. Make the effort to be early or just in time.

An over busy schedule is not strategic as it gives the impression that you may not be available for other quality jobs. Therefore, strike a strategic balance which gives the impression that you are a very busy person but you can also be available to take on other jobs and deliver quality right on time. It makes good business sense to provide quality services and deliver right on time. Delivering substandard services or products right on time is as good as not delivering anything as it takes value away from you.

Brand Your Self to Wealth 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

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

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

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

Brand Yourself to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

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

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

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

Celebrate Jubilee

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

It is jubilee and God Who is your shield and exceeding great reward is doing a new thing. He is giving you a brand new beginning and fresh new opportunities. God is just, and He is blessing you out of sequence and order so that you will skip steps in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Eyes have not seen and ears have not heard the things God has in store for you. You will see excellent and great things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. However, you must remain in His presence.

Therefore, move forward and celebrate; celebrate new things. Do not allow the devil hold you down with the past. Let go of every negative past as they are distractions. Ignore people who use your past to brand you. Proverbs Chapter 24 verse 16, Micah Chapter 7 verses 8 to 10. Break with the past to move forward. Forget the former things. God is faithful and will definitely do new things in your life in Jesus mighty name. Trust God and always move forward because God is always with you. There shall be no more backwards movements and retrogression in Jesus mighty name. Keep moving forward to your desired goals in the plans and purposes of God. It is now progress all the way because that is the will of God for you. God will not give you over to those incensed against you in Jesus mighty name. Do not fear because God has your back covered and when God covers your back, the enemy does not see you to attack you. He is the One who covers your back. Therefore, you must keep looking forward.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD TO WHERE GOD IS TAKING YOU. It is your time of double restoration. All of creation is about to yield the hidden treasures God ordained for you from the foundation of the world (2^nd Kings Chapter 13 verse 14). Your timing is in your hands. You are the one who decides to end a vicious cycle. Get up and keep moving. This is the time to acquire assets such as land, houses, shops, malls, cinema centres, and intellectual property. This is an unusual time and unusual people will take it by force. The word of God will restore everything the enemy stole from you. Job’s restoration was accomplished in one day. Chapter 1 was full of negatives but Chapter 42 chronicles multiple restoration of all Job lost. The glory of the latter house shall definitely be greater than the former and affliction shall not arise a second time in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
