Speak Your Way to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The word of God always has power to create beauty, love, wealth, life, etc out of nothing. The creative power of the word of God is evidenced in the Bible. Please see Romans Chapter 4 verses 17 to 25, Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 6 to 13, Numbers Chapter 23 verse 19. The Bible records that “And God said”; and there was a manifestation of the things He decreed – he called into being. Please see Genesis Chapter 1 for details of the creation story and Hebrews Chapter 11 verse 3, as well as Psalm 33 verses 6 to 9 for testimonies of the saints concerning the creative power in the word of God. Also, when Jesus thanked God for the few loaves of bread and fish that would feed the thousands; He was calling forth and creating abundance from what was available. He did not complain of insufficiency like the disciples. Instead, He thanked God who always knows how to multiply and compound whatever resources are brought before Him for multiplication and abundance. Please see John Chapter 6 verses 1 to 13 and Matthew Chapter 15 verses 32 to 39. Elisha did the same in 2^nd Kings Chapter 3. Thanksgiving brings about multiplication and increase as well as abundance.  

The statement a person makes can either make or mar him or her. That is the difference between people who speak possibilities and impossibilities. The person who speaks possibilities always sees possibilities and therefore makes conscious efforts to make the possibilities realities. The same thing applies to the person who speaks impossibilities as s/he will always see impossibilities and therefore make no effort to dream not to talk of actualizing any dream. Beloved, it is possible to speak your way to wealth.  How? By confessing daily that you are created to make abundant wealth and that God endowed you with everything you need to make wealth. In the same manner, people speak lack and poverty into their lives through daily making statements of lack and poverty about themselves.

The Essence and Focus of Work

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

At creation, God gave man work to do (Genesis Chapter 2 verse 15). In Genesis Chapter 2 verses 5 to 15, the Bible describes how the Garden of Eden was created - again without the effort of man. The trees that bore fruit for food grew out of the ground and a river watered the garden. Man did not even have to do the watering – God prepared the river to do it. Man’s assignment was to tend and keep the garden as well as feed from it. What bliss!

The essence and focus of work is on being productive to be financially rewarding and not on being busy. Therefore, be purposeful, productive and profitable in your work by investing time to engage in in spiritually, physically, mentally and financially productive and rewarding processes as well as relationships in your work. As much as possible, avoid time wasting relationships, activities and utterances. People without clear  cut visions and even when they have visions but do not have clearly identified goals, SMART objectives. Therefore they do  not have clear road maps of where they are headed in life because they have no idea where they are going. If you must spend time with such people, make it really minimal otherwise you will be caught in their maze of a circular dance that does not take or move anyone forward in life. Spending quality time with such people is akin to hanging around a dried up brook in a long period of drought hoping against hope that water will suddenly come from nowhere.

Beloved, the sensible thing to do is to move away as fast as your legs or any means of transport at your disposal can carry you out of a dried up brook. Dried up brooks have nothing to offer. God instructed the prophet Elijah to move out of a dried up brook. Please see 1^st Kings Chapter 17 verses 3 to 10.
