Take Vantage Positions 1

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

13 “You are the [a]salt of the earth; but if the salt has [b]lost its taste (purpose), how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people [when the walkways are wet and slippery]. 14 “You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew Chapter 5 verses 13 to 16.

God set you on a hill? Are you on the hill? Joseph was born for global leadership but he was born and raised in Canaan until circumstances that would be considered negative but albeit positive moved him to Egypt, the place of global leadership where his divine IPs were accepted, relevant and made him significant and dominant.

What dreams were there for Joseph to interpret in Canaan, the jealousy and envy of his siblings that had snowballed to hatred and death wishes for him? Canaan was no place for him at that point in time for him because it was not the hill God set him on. . Egypt was and God took him there; and he was celebrated because his lights shone as they ought to have shone, and significantly where they should shine; and people saw the good works of Joseph and glorified God for filling Joseph with His Spirit to bless humanity.

Beloved, I have no idea where you are presently but if it is not God’s hill for you, then you need to move urgently to where God wants you to bless humanity. If it is a place of strife and contention, I advise that you get out of strife and contention into God’s plans and purposes for your life. Do not be embroiled in fruitless mental processes, utterances and activities that do not lead anywhere and do not promote.

How to Turn Intangible Assets into Financial Resources

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Intangible assets are your knowledge resources, expertise, skills, talents, wisdom, understanding, military prowess, divinely generated money making ideas, excellent communication skills, etc.

Please see the following Scriptures for a deeper understanding of wisdom -  Proverbs Chapters 24 verses 2 to 4, 14, 8; 9 verses 1 to 11, Ecclesiastes Chapters 11 verse 10; 7 verses 11 to 12, 19; 2 verse 21, 9 verse 16.

Joseph interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh with his God given ability which you may call wisdom or knowledge or understanding but it is a divine deposit of intangible assets which gave him the number two position in the land and of course a mouth watering salary, perks and other privileges.

The Bible records that Daniel was gifted in understanding all sorts of visions and dreams (Daniel Chapter 1 verse 17). Consequently, he went to the King and requested time to tell the King the dream and the interpretation of the dream. Significantly, Daniel did not rely on the intangible assets of knowledge and skill in all literature that God gave him, or the understanding of all sorts of visions and dreams. Daniel humbly went to God for the answers and he co-opted his three friends. As they humbly asked God for mercies, God revealed the dream and its interpretation to Daniel and when it was told to the King, Daniel was promoted as ruler over the whole province of Babylon as well as Chief Administrator over all the wise men of Babylon. He was also given many great gifts. Please see Daniel Chapter 2 verses 47 to 49).

Decide to be Wealthy 1

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Nobody was created poor by God. Everyone was designed to be wealthy in the original plan of God for man. However, sin interfered and brought poverty along which explains why Jesus Christ became poor so that humanity can regain wealth. Please see 2nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verse 9. Therefore, the choice and decision to be wealthy is yours irrespective of wherever you are now in the wealth pedestal and whatever circumstances assail you. The choice and decision to be wealthy has to be accompanied by a speedy and prompt mental paradigm shift that will dislodge all the mental strongholds of poverty entrenched in your mental processes over the years. 

Poverty means lack, absence of capacity. A state of lack or want is a state of poverty reflecting spiritual poverty, ignorance, poverty of ideas, financial poverty, emotional poverty, psychological poverty, material poverty, poverty of ethics, etc. Therefore, poverty incapacitates, most often to stagnate, to hinder or limit progress, to slow down and to progressively destroy. 

Poverty is satanic and manifests the following symptoms – spiritual poverty, mental poverty, including intellectual poverty, financial poverty, physical poverty, etc. Poverty is also multi dimensional and afflicts at various levels – mental, physical, intellectual, marital, spiritual, financial, economic, social and political. Even when poverty is satanically induced, it can be eliminated at the foot of the cross through total surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. God never intended poverty for anyone. It is a tool of the enemy to stop people from entering into and actualizing the plans and purposes of God for their lives. No matter the hydra headed dimensions of poverty, the satanic altars serving it, the events and circumstances in your life that make it seem like poverty is your lot in life, beloved, hear the word of God in 2nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verse 9. From this Scripture, it is clear that poverty is not God’s plan for anyone. Secondly, poverty can be eliminated because over 2, 000 years ago, Jesus Christ paid the full price for the elimination of poverty. Please see Colossians Chapter 2 verses 12 to 15, 1st John Chapter 3 verse 8. Therefore, if poverty afflicts you on account of sin (be it personal, ancestral, community, national) or it is satanically engineered, Jesus Christ has paid the full penalty for it. What you need to do is take the poverty and all its branches and root to the foot of the cross for total destruction and elimination from your life and lineage. God is faithful and will gladly do it as His desire and plan for you is to live an abundant life in Christ Jesus.
