The Essence and Focus of Work

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

At creation, God gave man work to do (Genesis Chapter 2 verse 15). In Genesis Chapter 2 verses 5 to 15, the Bible describes how the Garden of Eden was created - again without the effort of man. The trees that bore fruit for food grew out of the ground and a river watered the garden. Man did not even have to do the watering – God prepared the river to do it. Man’s assignment was to tend and keep the garden as well as feed from it. What bliss!

The essence and focus of work is on being productive to be financially rewarding and not on being busy. Therefore, be purposeful, productive and profitable in your work by investing time to engage in in spiritually, physically, mentally and financially productive and rewarding processes as well as relationships in your work. As much as possible, avoid time wasting relationships, activities and utterances. People without clear  cut visions and even when they have visions but do not have clearly identified goals, SMART objectives. Therefore they do  not have clear road maps of where they are headed in life because they have no idea where they are going. If you must spend time with such people, make it really minimal otherwise you will be caught in their maze of a circular dance that does not take or move anyone forward in life. Spending quality time with such people is akin to hanging around a dried up brook in a long period of drought hoping against hope that water will suddenly come from nowhere.

Beloved, the sensible thing to do is to move away as fast as your legs or any means of transport at your disposal can carry you out of a dried up brook. Dried up brooks have nothing to offer. God instructed the prophet Elijah to move out of a dried up brook. Please see 1^st Kings Chapter 17 verses 3 to 10.

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.

Steps to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

It is the blessing of God that can make you rich, a lender to nations and not a borrower. Please see Deuteronomy Chapters 28 verses 12 and 13, 8 verse 18, 10 verse 29, 15 verses 1 to 18, 16 verses 15 to 17, 24 verse 19, 30 verses 5 and 9; 2^nd Samuel Chapter 6 verses 10 to 12, 1^st Chronicles Chapter 26 verses 4 to 8, 15, 1^st Chronicles Chapter 4 verses 9 and 10, 1^st Samuel Chapter 2 verses 8 and 9. Ask God to bless you.

Do not depend on a single source of income. Always expand your sources of income – multiple income streams. Oceans never dry up because they have multiple water bodies – seas, rivers, lakes, streams flowing into them.

Always invest and re-invest your income in high yield businesses. Expand your selling points – identify other sales outlets.

Deep calls unto deep. What you seek is in the depths of God’s word. Dig deep and you will find what you seek. Seek and you will find. Oceans run deep, have multiple inflow channels and therefore do not dry up.

Move Forward (Deuteronomy Chapter 1 verses 1 to 8). The only propeller for moving forward in life is the word of God. Please, see. Therefore, move forward and take over the entire land, the mountains, the hills, the plains, the lowlands, the seacoast, the great river, the North, the South, the East and the West. The land is before you. Move in and occupy. It is your land given to you by God for a possession. Move in and occupy.

Discard every Lot. Your Lot may not necessarily be your nephew, niece, brother, sister or cousin or friends that you invited into the business. It could be mediocrity, tunnel vision, or what have you. Whatever it is, ask God to help you get rid of it so you can internalize excellence and move on to global visibility, recognition and number 1 positioning.

Assess your intangible assets and what tangible assets they should generate. Any one, any activity that does not generate this or does not lead to the generation of this is not worth spending five minutes on. Give them fleeting seconds and move on to more fruitful activities. The determinant of activities and relationships should be how much they can generate in the long run.
