From Obscurity to Limelight

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set [them] among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth [are] the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them. 1^st Samuel Chapter 2 verses 7 to .

God is the one who makes a person great. God has control of the universe in his hands. Please see Romans Chapter 6 verse 14. He is also still in the business of raising the poor out of the dust and sitting them among princes 1^st Samuel Chapter 2 verse 8. God promises to take His children from one level of glory to another. God sometimes takes people out of obscurity into limelight by shedding His glory on them. God in His infinite mercy and great love sheds His glory on as many people who honor Him irrespective of their ages. Samuel was a youth yet He received the glory of God and was used by God to speak to Eli and his family and later the nation of Israel. You can also be used of God today and beyond and become globally famous, relevant and significant to humanity. Therefore, seek and revere His glory.

The favor of God always takes people from the dust and ash heap positions of life to royalty, wealth, significance and honor in life. When God favors you, He is giving you springboards and leverages to become who He designed you to be from the foundation of the world. It is my prayer that God in His infinite wisdom of election and purpose will favor you on all sides in Jesus mighty. God Who ordered your steps to this blogpost will certainly favor you with the dew of heaven and the treasures hidden in the sands.

Beloved, it is wonderful to be young, desirous of greatness and limelight especially when you are full of life, great ideas, strength and friends as well as a loving family. However, you need the favor of God to accomplish divine purpose so that you can soar to God’s heights for your life. Therefore, press for the favor of God.

God raised David to become King in Israel, Joseph to become Prime Minister in Egypt, Esther as Queen in the land of captivity and Daniel as a respected and high ranking official in Babylon on account of the favor of God upon their lives. You are destined for the top. Therefore give God quality praise with your youth and strength and talents and trust Him to orchestrate the move from obscurity and poverty to limelight and wealth. The Bible says that the expectation of the righteous shall not be cut short. My prayer is that God will grant your expectations in Jesus mighty name.

No More Limits

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Limitations are meant to stall progress, restrict movement in the short term  and in the long term eliminate or overrun.

The walls of Jericho coupled with its well secured gates represented a blockade, barrier that was spiritual and physical, as well as mental, and constituted an opposition, a very fierce one to the progress of the children of Israel from Egypt to the land of Canaan. The gates were locked against the children of Israel and that became a major limitation, in fact a barricade against progress to the Promised Land. But those walls came down by the power of God as the children of Israel received divine strength to bring down the walls. Praise, shouts of joy brought it down and the children of Israel moved on after Jericho was burnt to the ground. Please see Joshua Chapter 6.

No more limits in Jesus mighty name. That wall had placed a limit of proceed no further but God destroyed that limit because He alone can place or set limits on people, individuals, families, communities and nations. Therefore, any limit by anyone was subject to God’s sudden destruction and would always be destroyed by God.

Moab, Ammon and Mount Seir were determined to overrun and eliminate Judah. Praise to God by the Israelites and the three nations turned against each other and eliminated themselves; leaving abundant wealth to the Israelites. Please see 2^nd Chronicles Chapter 20.

Locking up Paul and Silas in Philippi was meant to hinder the preaching of the gospel but unknown to those who brought accusations and charges against them as well as those who locked them up, that was an open door, in fact a very big and effective one for the preaching of the gospel as the keeper of the prison and his entire household were saved. Please see Acts Chapter 16 verses 16 to 40.

 What God is saying is that the satanic barricades and limits are down, completely destroyed for free, safe and unhindered passage to His heights for you in Jesus mighty name.

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.

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.
