Innovate to Leapfrog

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The Holy Spirit gives the ability to be creative, innovative and enterprising. Believers have more potential to make more money if only they will ask from God. This is because the Holy Spirit who resides in every God fearing and obeying believer is the One Who gives illumination for innovation. He gave Joseph the fourteen year plan for ensuring food security in Egypt.

There had been surplus harvests in the past just as there had been famines in the past. In the days of Abraham, there was a famine. In point of fact, it was famine that made Abraham move from Bethel to Egypt. But for the intervention of God, Abraham would have lost his beautiful wife, Sarah to Pharaoh. Fortunately, Abraham was enriched and left Egypt. Please read Genesis Chapter 12 verses 8 to 20. Yet another famine made Isaac, the son of Abraham want to move from Gerar. But God instructed Isaac to stay on in Gerar despite the famine. Isaac stayed on and God gave him the requisite wisdom to innovate on existing best practices that leapfrogged the famine in the land.

Isaac was subsequently enriched, in point of fact, so rich that the Philistines envied him. Isaac did not run away from the challenges in the land. Rather, he innovated on existing best practices to circumnavigate the challenges in the land. He was successful. This implies that challenges are sometimes stepping stones. Please read Genesis Chapter 26.

An Idea Is an Empire

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

An idea is usually intangible. It starts as a thought and grows as an expanded thought. This implies that ideas are thoughts expanded through creative but strategic thinking processes. Such processes should ideally be dependent on the Holy Spirit. Thoughts expanded to ideas create with the word of God birthing businesses, scientific inventions and what have you.  This is to say that ideas which originated as a thought (s) in the hearts of men and women over time expanded to the institutions, technologies, innovations, fashion etc that bless humanity today. Therefore, think more, process thoughts, ideas, evaluate and reevaluate them, including the jobs at hand to see how you can convert them to empires. Review what you do, what has been done and how it can be improved upon to grow beyond what it is now to the empire God designed it to be from the foundation of the world.

Everything God created is designed to multiply because embedded in every creation of God is the capacity for fruitfulness. Even nature teaches us that fruitfulness leads to multiplication and in some cases compounding. In like manner, an idea that is well thought out; implemented in the right place, at the right time and with the right people definitely turns out right, blooms and flourishes beyond the original implantation stage to become an empire.
