Focus on Solutions

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Every problem has a solution. That is why it is said that problems or challenges are stepping stones to greatness. Therefore, it always best to focus on solutions and not problems. Besides, when you focus on finding solutions to a problem, you are actually taking sides with God to deal the enemy a blow. This is because God the Creator and Owner of the heavens and the earth in His infinite wisdom has solutions to every problem or challenge, whether named or unnamed. Significantly, God loves to give this wisdom to His children who seek solutions to challenges that come their way. Besides, creative people always have divinely received ways to navigate difficult circumstances and satanic obstacles placed in their pathways.

The Bible records that Daniel’s young life was threatened by a hasty death sentence from King Nebuchadnezzar who said that all the wise men in Babylon should be killed on account of their inability to tell him the dream he dreamt and forgot. Rather than stew on dying young at the hands of whom everybody probably referred to as a wicked king, Daniel sought solutions to the problem. He ran to God to reveal King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream alongside the interpretation to him. God honored Daniel’s request and the dream alongside its interpretation was revealed to Daniel. As soon as Daniel told the King his dream and interpretation, the killings stopped.

Wisdom for Seed Planting 4

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Before embarking on the journey of seed planting it will be worth your while to make a distinction between good ground and thorns. This is because a ground may be good to plant on but if it is full of thorns, what happens to the crops planted on that good ground? The plants will definitely grow but the thorns will always choke them and who knows what will happen. Is it then wise to sow among thorns? Please see Matthew Chapter 13 verses 7, 22.

Both wayside ground and rock could not provide what the seeds required to thrive – earth to protect the seeds from being trampled down and devoured; and moisture for the nourishment of the seeds. On the other hand, the ground with thorns provided both security and moisture yet had self destructive properties which ensured that the young plants did not grow beyond a certain level.

The wayside ground seeds were afflicted by external factors, people walking along the way and birds flying over the wayside whose sharp eyes spotted the seeds though trampled and devoured them. The rock lacked water and moisture; also external factors as rocks neither manufacture water nor retain water.

But the ground with thorns had an internal self destructive mechanism – the thorns which had no room and zero tolerance for anything that would benefit humanity. Thorns do not benefit humanity and one would have expected them to be pleased to have plants which would benefit humanity grow beside them. No way as they choked the life out of the plants. Thorns have no good intention towards anyone or anything and do not benefit anyone in any way. They are destructive and would always destroy as they always bring about destruction. A thorn infested ground no matter how fertile is not good ground.

God Answers Prayers

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Does God answer prayers? Yes. Are you sure? Definitely. But certainly not all prayers? How do you mean? Well, prayers to make wealth. Beloved, God answers such prayers and is waiting for you to ask. The God who gives you power to make as stated in His word answers prayers on wealth creation if prayed to Him by His children who desire to do so.

The Biblical Jabez born with quite a number of minuses petitioned God for a number of pluses including the plus of wealth creation. Please see 1^st Chronicles Chapter 4 verse 9 to 10. God honored that prayer and gave Jabez everything he requested for.

Jacob practically ran away from home without a dime after outsmarting his elder brother Esau to get the birthright. On Jacob’s way to Padan Aram, he requested wealth from God. Though Laban the Uncle he lived with at Padan Aram also tried to outwit Jacob severally; significantly, God blessed Jacob with overflowing wealth, some of which he shared with his brother Esau. Genesis  Chapter 28 verses 20 to 21 Genesis Chapter 33 verses 8 to 10.

The widow of the son of the indebted prophet also asked God for financial empowerment and provision when she took her woes of the family financial indebtedness which threatened debt bondage of her two sons to the Prophet Elisha. As she implemented the divine strategies given to her by God through Prophet Elisha for wealth creation, she discovered wealth and was free of financial lack and indebtedness. Please see 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7.

Beloved, God desires to bless His children with abundant wealth (see 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verse 9 and 1^st Samuel Chapter 2 verses 7 to 8)  but the big question is, are His children willing to ask Him, pray to Him so that He will show and teach them how to accumulate such wealth? Please see Isaiah Chapter 28 verses 23 to 29.

A Billion Dollars is Possible

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

A billion dollars is a lot of money. To some people, it takes a lifetime to make such money while to some other people, such money can be made in a twinkle of an eye, from a single transaction or multiple transactions. Unfortunately, there are people who believe that such money cannot be made in several lifetimes not to talk of a single life time. Well there are no several lifetimes as this present lifetime on planet earth is the only life time anyone blessed with life here has to make a billion or more dollars.

The Bible says that with God, all things are possible. Please see Mark Chapter 10 verse 27. God will always make a way where there is no way. You can make a billion dollars or even more because God your Father owns inexhaustible wealth and He has blessed you with the power to make wealth. That power to make wealth is not as a result of your own making or strength as stated in Zechariah Chapter 4 verse 6. That power comes by the Spirit of God Who empowers you and teaches you to make wealth in leaps and bounds (Isaiah Chapters 58 verse 11; 48 verse 17, 1^st Corinthians Chapter 2 verses 9 to 16) by giving you divine direction to abundance (Genesis Chapter 26), divine wisdom for abundance at a time of famine (Genesis Chapter 41) as well as destroying satanic yokes and limitations (Isaiah Chapter 10 verse 27). No one makes a billion dollars by personal strength.

The Bible records that “Then Isaac sowed in the land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him. The man began to prosper and continued prospering until he became very prosperous”. Genesis Chapter 26 verses 12 to 14. What Isaac did was intelligent investing by the Spirit of God. Intelligent investing is not speculation. Speculation is gambling. Intelligent investing is planting seeds in good soil and nurturing same for a great harvest. Speculation on the other hand is scattering seeds so that some fall by the wayside, on thorns, on rocky places. They may or may not grow, grow and may not bear fruit, or just one or two grow and fruit. I pray that God in His infinite mercy will guard your feet and prosper you to continue prospering until you become very wealthy in Jesus mighty name.

Beloved, it is time to discard the impossibility mentality. Explore the possibilities of building big from the scratch. It is possible. Peter cast the net on the right side of the boat as instructed by the Lord Jesus Christ and he caught a multitude of fish that took several men to draw in the catch. That is the right side of the boat that Jesus asked Peter to cast his net on. What was the result? Please, see John Chapter 21.

Progressive Financial Increase

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Progressive increase is a function of progressive processes, Isaac planted seed, reaped a hundredfold and God blessed him and he began to prosper, continued prospering until he became very prosperous – he had great number of flocks, herds and servants. Please, see Genesis Chapters 26 verses 12 to 14; 8 verse 22 and Psalm 85 verse 12.

Progressive increase is not a one off activity but a series of progressive processes that birth increases that add up, multiply and compound into progressive increases. God works in diverse and mysterious ways. One of such ways is through progressive processes – the creation of the universe and everything in it was a series of progressive processes. All power belongs to God and it is possible for Him to create everything in an instant yet He chose progressive processes. There must be very significant reasons for doing so. Please see Genesis Chapter 1. Also, the building of Noah’s ark was a series of progressive processes (Genesis Chapter 6). So also was the filling of the ark with living things. Even the flood that destroyed the earth was not instantaneous. It was a series of progressive activities – the breaking up of the fountains of the great deep, the opening up of the windows of heaven and the rain that fell for forty days and forty nights. In like manner the drying up of the earth and reconstruction was also a series of progressive activities. Please see Genesis Chapters 7, 8 and 9. Even the release of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery and bondage was a series of progressive activities that cowed Pharaoh into releasing the Israelites to leave Egypt. The journey through the wilderness to the Promised Land was yet another series of progressive activities.

Progressive increase therefore does not happen in an instant. God promised Abraham descendants as numerous as the sand of the sea. This did not happen in an instant. Over a period of time, the descendants came through Isaac, the child of promise.

Financial increase, fame and power came to Joseph, a descendant of Abraham through a series of progressive activities and events that appeared to be huge obstacles in his path. Eventually, Joseph emerged a global leader, a governor of great wealth and a father of two nations within the nation of Israel.

Create Wealth in 2017

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

It is the will of God for you to create wealth and be wealthy. Do not enter 2017 and walk through 2017 beggarly, needy, indebted and in lack. Take a quality decision even on this first day of January 2017 to be one of the God created wealthy people on planet earth. Please see Deuteronomy Chapters 8 verse 18, 6 verse 15 and 28 verses 11 to 13 so that you can be a blessing to the constituency God wants you to bless financially.

There are many people out there in need, lack, debt because you have not created the wealth God wants you to create not because God has not empowered you to do so but because you have not done so; because you are either minding other people’s businesses and therefore not minding yours. If you keep minding the businesses of other people, how then will you create wealth from your business that you have not paid attention to?

Beloved, 2017 is your year to create and generate outstanding wealth. However, you must mind your business as God would have you mind them. Please see Proverbs Chapter 27 verses 23 to 27 and Isaiah Chapter 28 verses 23 to 29. Do not be like the young man devoid of understanding who neglected his vineyard and was visited by poverty and hunger. Do not fritter time tending the businesses of other people as their harvests will be for them and not for you.

Beloved, the year is still very young which makes the timing therefore very apt for you to start it with tending your businesses to fruition, great harvests and multiple income streams as well as outstanding wealth in Jesus mighty name. Enjoy His great grace, be fruitful and multiply and be wealthy. Shalom.
