Leverage Strengths and Opportunities

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Your strengths constitute your competitive advantage; the divine edge you have over your competition. That is what separates you from the pack to give you advantages, edges, leverages, that you can always use to outbid and outshine your competition. Identify your strengths and the value of your strengths.

Opportunities on the other hand are platforms for you to showcase your strengths and be financially rewarded for your strengths. Opportunities could be created, identified or they could just come your way. Whichever, it is your responsibility to find them and take advantage of them.

The Apostle Paul took advantage of the interest shown him by the Epicureans and Stoic philosophers in Athens to preach the gospel. He was careful to refer to the inscription of the unknown God and centered his message on who God is and how God should be worshipped, Acts Chapter 17 verses 18 to 34. Make hay while the sun shines.

In Jesus’ discourse with the woman at the well in John Chapter 4, Jesus took advantage of the opportunity at the well to lead the woman to God. You can and should create a demand for your goods and services. After the woman found salvation, she became a powerful mouthpiece of the gospel that brought the men of Samaria to Jesus and consequently, the entire community to Jesus as they begged Jesus to stay with them.

In 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verse 7, the widow of the indebted prophet was instructed to – “Go sell the oil”. Go and search for the people who need the oil and sell to them and even if you have identified the people, take the goods and services to them. Do not wait for them to come to you. As they see the products and you the seller, they will buy.

Celebrate Jubilee

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

It is jubilee and God Who is your shield and exceeding great reward is doing a new thing. He is giving you a brand new beginning and fresh new opportunities. God is just, and He is blessing you out of sequence and order so that you will skip steps in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Eyes have not seen and ears have not heard the things God has in store for you. You will see excellent and great things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. However, you must remain in His presence.

Therefore, move forward and celebrate; celebrate new things. Do not allow the devil hold you down with the past. Let go of every negative past as they are distractions. Ignore people who use your past to brand you. Proverbs Chapter 24 verse 16, Micah Chapter 7 verses 8 to 10. Break with the past to move forward. Forget the former things. God is faithful and will definitely do new things in your life in Jesus mighty name. Trust God and always move forward because God is always with you. There shall be no more backwards movements and retrogression in Jesus mighty name. Keep moving forward to your desired goals in the plans and purposes of God. It is now progress all the way because that is the will of God for you. God will not give you over to those incensed against you in Jesus mighty name. Do not fear because God has your back covered and when God covers your back, the enemy does not see you to attack you. He is the One who covers your back. Therefore, you must keep looking forward.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD TO WHERE GOD IS TAKING YOU. It is your time of double restoration. All of creation is about to yield the hidden treasures God ordained for you from the foundation of the world (2^nd Kings Chapter 13 verse 14). Your timing is in your hands. You are the one who decides to end a vicious cycle. Get up and keep moving. This is the time to acquire assets such as land, houses, shops, malls, cinema centres, and intellectual property. This is an unusual time and unusual people will take it by force. The word of God will restore everything the enemy stole from you. Job’s restoration was accomplished in one day. Chapter 1 was full of negatives but Chapter 42 chronicles multiple restoration of all Job lost. The glory of the latter house shall definitely be greater than the former and affliction shall not arise a second time in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

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.
