Wisdom for Seed Planting 2



Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Significantly, your seed is God’s divine deposit in you for you to become sought after and great in life. If you do not respect, value it and trade it for profit by paying attention to it, how then will you become sought after, great, wealthy and successful? Please see Proverbs Chapter 27 verses 23 to 27. The Bible standard is for you to diligently pay attention to; nurture and care for whatever God blessed you with to a profit. 

To do this you have to find an enabling environment to plant your seeds so that they are like pearls cast before swine. For example the seeds which fell on rock sprouted but they withered away because they lacked moisture. Moisture is critical to the survival of pants. Unfortunately, rocks do not retain water; therefore will not have moisture to sustain the growth of any plant. Besides, rocks take the toll of hot sunshine especially in tropical regions and on very sunny days. No plant no matter how resilient can survive in such an environment. The sprouted seeds withered away as quickly as they had sprouted. What a shame, what a pity! The bottom line is to avoid environments that are not conducive to the growth and fruition of your seed as such environments are inimical to your success. The wayside environment did not even give the seeds that fell on it a chance to germinate like the rock did. However, the growth transient – germinate to wither and not to fruit. This is not the will of God for anyone endowed with divine seeds. It is my prayer that God in His infinite mercy will forbid such evil in your life in Jesus mighty name.

Choose Global Desirability

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God is the author of global desirability in the life of anyone. He does it by giving the person destined for global desirability His glory. Please see Haggai Chapter 2 verses 6 to 9 and Isaiah Chapter 60 verses 1 to 22. This glory of God usually manifest through His Presence in the life of a person. The Bible records that God was with Joseph, Isaac, Abraham, David as well as a number of other successful Biblical characters and this holy Presence in the life of a person manifests in a number of ways.

For David, it was military prowess; Joseph, it was the gift of problem solving through the word of knowledge and wisdom coupled with his sincere commitment to God. Daniel was also blessed with this gift and rose to global desirability, relevance and prominence. He was greatly sought after by Kings Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar and Darius.

A person, institution, product or service can be globally visible yet not desirable. But when God is with you and His presence and glory is in you, He makes you globally visible and desirable as in the case of Joseph. There is a difference between global visibility and global desirability. A person, institution, product or service can be globally visible because of the opportunities or privileges available to occupy global platforms or space yet may not be globally desirable; that is liked, accepted or wanted. In such cases, global visibility is of no use really. What is the essence of being known globally and yet not desired, therefore not relevant and significant? But global visibility accompanied by global desirability culminates in significance and relevance which ultimately translates to dominance if managed wisely as instructed by God through His Holy Spirit.

Build and Sustain Generational Wealth 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

King David also had multiple income streams from tributes from the nations he conquered in battles, spoils of war. He was a warrior and made great wealth from the spoils of war and tributes from the nations he subdued. Significantly, David never relied on his physical strength or military prowess or strategy for defeating and subduing and conquering nations.  He relied on God for victory in every battle. God honored David’s dependence on Him and gave him victory at all times in addition to preserving him from destruction. Every battle strategy and victory came from God and David always returned the glory to God. It is also significant that David always consulted God before going for any battle. Despite several victories in battle, David never took it for granted to get into any battle without asking counsel, favor and direction from God. David’s strength was in his total reliance  and dependence on God. That was his own power  to get wealth and God added divine military strategies that gave him victory on all sides – he conquered and subdued nations all around him and they paid him tributes in addition to all the spoils of war. 1st Chronicles Chapter 18 verses 6, 13, 1st Samuel Chapter 16 verse 18.

King David was an extremely wealthy man in his time and nation but over time his children, great great grandchildren surpassed his wealth. Significantly, he was the father of King Solomon, the wisest and wealthiest king of his time. His wealth and wisdom surpassed the wealth and wisdom of other kings. He was the wealthiest king globally.

So also were Jehoshaphat and Hezekiah, other members of the Davidic lineage. How then did David, a shepherd boy who later became a warrior king make so much money that he gave one hundred thousand talents of gold , one million talents of silver, bronze and iron beyond measure, timber and stone for the building of the  temple? 1st Chronicles Chapter 22 verses 14 to 16. This figure was later increased in 1st Chronicles Chapter 29 verses 2 to 5.
