DARE TO MAKE WEALTH

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Stop managing poverty, begging for bread and living off handouts and the sometimes reluctant generosity of other people ; most of who do not really care about you but use you as a platform for dumping off what they do not need; justifying their overconsumption in the handouts they give to you.

Beloved, for too long, you have lived in the consciousness of living off crumbs and that consciousness has limited you from making and enjoying the great wealth God blessed you with from the foundation of the world (Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verse 18, also 11 to 17). Stop loving and managing poverty. Dare to give wealth creation a shot; by taking the first step towards wealth creation. Honestly, you will be amazed at the latent capacity to create wealth which unfortunately you have allowed to lie fallow for too long. It is time to break up your fallow ground because you are created to make and enjoy wealth.

In everyone lies untapped wealth, in point of fact, huge deposits of wealth. Unfortunately and quite sadly, not everyone knows this universal truth which explains why billions of people are content to remain poor believing that poverty is their lot in life. Perhaps this explains why Jesus talks about always having the poor (John Chapter 12 verse 8, Deuteronomy Chapter 15 verses 1 to 11) and instructs about reaching out to the poor. But the truth is that your name is not listed among the poor except you choose to engrave it in the list. In that case, God is not to be blamed for the list you choose to be in. Neither are your parents or any other relations you may have. You alone have the power to decide and determine to create and enjoy great wealth.

Recognizing Wealth 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Beloved, isn’t it ironic that a person so blessed and so endowed with wealth despised the wealth, sold it for peanuts and went in quest of poverty? Could this be akin to what Esau did? Significantly, and this is quite instructive. A great many of us; including me are no different from Ali Hafed. How often do we disdain real wealth and throw it away completely for what glitters that is nowhere near gold. I recall my early days in the jewelry business when I collected stock from any aunt to sell. She had capital and could bring in large quantities of real stuff – corals, pearls, gold and costume and quality costume and regular everyday jewelry. I preferred to sell corals and pearls because I understood and knew how tell the real from the fake. But when it came to gold and costume, I was a rookie. So when my aunt gave me some earrings to string corals and pearls earrings with, I returned them when I saw another set that had a greater glitter. My aunt tried to prevail against my decision to return the gold in favor of the glitter. I ignored her and insisted on the glitter.

Fortunately, I kept some of the non glitters for myself, just four of them and till date, I am ever grateful to God who led me that way as all the glitters have since faded. Talk about knowing the worth of what you own. Well, I have learnt and I am still learning that there is great wisdom in unearthing the blessings of God for one’s life daily enriching one’s life with the word of God. This is because the word of God will open your eyes of understanding to the hidden riches of God in you so that you can skillfully by the help of the Holy Spirit mine your true wealth.

Give Him Thanks

 ^1-3 Thank you! Everything in me says “Thank you!”

    Angels listen as I sing my thanks.
I kneel in worship facing your holy temple
    and say it again: “Thank you!”
Thank you for your love,
    thank you for your faithfulness;
Most holy is your name,
    most holy is your Word.
The moment I called out, you stepped in;
    you made my life large with strength.

Move to Rehoboth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

It is difficult to be fruitful in the place of strife and contention, a form of thorns. Though Isaac dug wells that contained water in Gerar; the herdsmen of Gerar contended over the well. Very wisely, Isaac moved from the area of contention and dug another well. Fortunately, they found water and named the place Rehoboth since there was no contention. Additionally, Isaac declared that God had made for them to be fruitful so they could flourish and blossom in the land.

Beloved, God blesses the work of our hands but if that work is deliberately and intentionally sown among thorns, then there is a problem. How, you may ask? God does ask people to sow among thorns. I am sure that is one of the reasons Jesus Christ gave the parable of the sower. I may be wrong but I adduce this from the Scripture on everything written is for our learning and experience. Also, the fact that thorns exist on a ground shows that the ground is already occupied so why plant on a place already occupied, especially by thorns? And even if you must plant there; why not weed out the thorns first and then treat the ground to ensure that that there are no more thorns hiding underground that can take root again when good seeds are planted on that ground. if you have not taken all these precautions and you go ahead to plant on thorns; beloved you are thinking and saying that you can and have the power to compel God to bless your disobedience by deliberately sowing on a ground that contains self destructive properties. How can God bless such planting? How do you expect His blessing to rest on a ground that will of its own volition; without any external prodding or influence or interference destroy itself?

The Principle of Twelve Baskets - Be a Blessing

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

A person’s life does not consist in the abundance of what he has but what he gives. The essence of living is giving, no matter how small it may appear to be. Giving is one of the divine keys to prosperity, breakthrough, healing, you name it. Beloved, you can give yourself out of lack, begging and borrowing. Therefore, give out your pain and insufficiency to sufficiency and abundance so that you will no longer experience financial struggles in Jesus mighty name.  And the catch is that you can never out give God. God alone owns resources and us. Therefore, our lives and resources should be committed to serving Him.

There is power in giving especially giving to what is relevant. Giving to a good cause brings rewards. The hand that gives is always on top and has power. On the other hand, the hand that receives is always below the hand that gives. To be on top, you should be a giver. There are some challenges that you are going through today that can disappear because of your giving.

When people come to seek you because of the gift of God in you, meet both their spiritual and physical needs. Do not send them away empty handed no matter how small your resources are. For all you care, that may be all they require for their needs to be met. All the disciples of Jesus Christ had were five loaves of bread and two fishes; yet because they laid it on the altar for all to benefit from, the loaves of bread and fish multiplied and compounded; and fed five thousand men, excluding women and children. Additionally, there were twelve baskets left over. Please see Luke Chapter 9 verses 10 to 17.

The Power of Seeds

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; To shew that the LORD [is] upright: [he is] my rock, and [there is] no unrighteousness in him. Psalm 92 verses 12 to 15

Seeds will always grow, fruit to harvest and produce both bread and more seeds for planting and harvest, thereby setting in motion the laws of increase through addition, multiplication, compounding and geometric progression. Seeds then are the ingredients for fruitfulness while fruitfulness leads to increase in life through addition, multiplication and compounding.

Seeds are the potentials of greatness if you know what to do with them.  This is because you can only fruit when you understand the seeds God blessed you with. Significantly, the importance of seeds is that seeds ensure sustainability which explains why God deposited the seeds in you at creation. Until you discover your seeds, you cannot fruit. Do you recognize your seeds? The seeds were there even before you got saved and it is even possible that the areas of your sins are seeds that were misguided. In such a case, what to do is turn them around for God so that you can begin to fruit as originally designed for you by God from the foundation of the world. Please also take time to study His word and fellowship with Him so that you will correctly identify your seeds, know exactly what God wants you to do with the seeds so that He alone will make you fruitful to the glory of His holy name.

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.

Desire to be Wealthy

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Truly desire to be wealthy. Do not seek wealth because you have bills waiting to be paid, you want to be like the Joneses, or you want to show off.  Desire and seek wealth because it is the will of God for your life. Please see Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verse 18, 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verse 9.

One of the benefits of redemption is divine wealth transfer through Jesus Christ Who became poor so that heirs of salvation such as you and I would become rich. Also, God in His infinite mercy gives you power to create wealth so that you can be wealthy. To do this, God blesses the work of your hands (Psalms 85 verse 12, 104 verses 13 to 15, Zechariah Chapter 8 verse 12, Leviticus Chapter 26 verses 1 to 10, Deuteronomy Chapters 8 verses 6 to 9, 11 verses 10 to 15, 12 verses 7, 17, 14 verse 29, 15 verses 4, 10, 14, 18, 16 verses 17, 15, 23 verse 20, 24 verse 19, 28 verses 1 to 13, 30 verses 5, 9, 16); gives you divine ideas and unusual abilities (Joseph, Daniel, Huram and many others; and also safeguards the works of your hands from satanic predators be they spiritual, physical or mental (Malachi Chapter 3 verses , Ezekiel Chapters s 34 verses 25 to 30, 36 verse 30).

Beloved, it is the will of God for you to be wealthy, live in wealth and enjoy wealth. Please see 3^rd John 1 and 2.

From Prison to Palace

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Interesting, isn’t it; that a person without leverages can suddenly hit limelight, fame, wealth, power and honor? Beloved, the ways of God are past finding out for He is the only One Who can take anyone from obscurity to limelight  and from any prison whatsoever to the palace.

Though there are a number of stories about people who rose from the confinements of prison to palaces, the biblical Joseph best illustrates that story. Though Joseph was a slave in Egypt, Joseph treasured his assets, guarding them jealously and trading them for what could take him out of obscurity into limelight. Joseph’s assets include talent, knowledge resources, godly wisdom, expertise, fervent relationship with God, divine wisdom, fear of God, honesty, integrity, focus.

Daniel’s assets include integrity, honesty, fear of God.  Though the Biblical Daniel was not physically imprisoned, he alongside his three friends and all the wise men of Babylon were on death row and were being handpicked daily; from the privacy and luxury of their homes for execution. This was as good as being imprisoned; untimely death with every potential for blessing humanity locked up in early death. Daniel was very young then, full of life and great dreams for a long flourishing life of service to God and humanity as well as the attendant benefits of comfort and wealth. He therefore refused to die young and unfulfilled because he knew that the will of God for him was to live long. Please see Psalm 91. He therefore boldly and courageously requested for time to unravel the King’s dream. God granted Daniel favor and further emboldened, Daniel called for an emergency prayer meeting to request help from God so that their lives would be spared. God again showed up and the secret was made known to Daniel. Their lives alongside the lives of the wise men were spared. But significantly, Daniel and his friends moved from the imprisonment of death row to significant positions in the palace and in the administration of affairs in the kingdom of Babylon. Please read Daniel Chapter 2 for details of the story as well as greater insight from the Holy Spirit.

As if this was not enough, Daniel’s life was further threatened but again God intervened and Daniel rose from the prison of the den of lions to the pinnacle of leadership. Please see Daniel Chapter 6. His three friends were also on death row a second time; albeit in the prison of a fiery furnace of fire. But God Who can always be trusted to deliver His own intervened and their lives were not only spared, but the worship of Jehovah, the El-Shaddai God was enthroned in Babylon and they were promoted higher in the administrative affairs of Babylon. Tales of prison to palaces!

It’s in You

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

All the resources you need to succeed in life are inside of you. You may wonder how and where. Perhaps you should take a clue from the prodigal son who thought a rich inheritance from a wealthy father would set him up in life. What happened? The young man lost everything as fast as he demanded and collected it from his loving father. And because he had no idea  how to make wealth with his God given resources he was engaged in what I choose to call slave labor; slave labor because he did not even earn a living wage. To make matters worse, he came close to eating what he fed the pigs with. Fortunately, with no human help in sight from anyone, God helped him to come to himself – he was not a slave but a bonafide child of a very wealthy father whose servants could be described as rich. Why then should he live in abject penury when he could return to his father to make peace and be wealthy again? Do not forget that as a child of every wealthy man, the prodigal son was already wealthy. He did not need to collect his inheritance while his father was alive to prove to anyone that he was wealthy. So Mr. Prodigal Son retraced his steps back home and lived in affluence again despite what he had done against his father in the past. 

The widow of the indebted son of the prophet also probably came to the same realization when her late husband’s creditor threatened to come and take her two sons for slave labor. Suddenly, she realized that God could salvage their situation. So she ran to the prophet Elisha for a solution. Fortunately, she did not revert to her husband’s methods of borrowing to solve financial challenges. She chose to trust God to get her out a habit that if not curbed would become generational. She cried to God for a solution which surprisingly had been resident in her all these years when her husband went a borrowing and had mortgaged the destiny of their two sons into debt servitude. God in His infinite mercy chose to show mercy and spoke through the Prophet Elisha. The hitherto jar of oil that she probably considered insignificant and of little or zero monetary value actually had the capacity to transform their lives – give them more than enough money to pay off their debts as well as have enough to live on for the rest of their lives. They were free from the bondage and attendant slavery of debts. 

Beloved, God the bondage breaker had set them free from the affliction of debt and its attendant humiliation, shame, bondage and slavery. Significantly, God used the woman’s honest and sincere refusal to continue with the habit of borrowing to break and destroy what the enemy had intended as a legal ground to introduce debt servitude to the family.

The woman with the issue of blood had exhausted her financial resources on medics to no avail.  Rather than borrow and probably still not find a solution, she chose to seek Jesus, to touch the hem of His garment. That was the breakthrough. The pain, the shame, and humiliation of twelve years ceased and she was made whole without spending a dime. 

Always Look at Value

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Effective leaders negotiate win/win agreements whenever possible; follow through on their commitments, whatever the cost. John Maxwell

Value is whatever brings positive additions to your life, enhances your brand and potentials for wealth and success. This implies that your associations, your knowledgebase, your assumed assets could be worthless if they have no value and do not attract any value. Even dresses worn by certain people attract value. Same goes for fashion accessories and even home accessories used by certain people.  Certain vintage cars also have value as their prices increase with the times. This makes it imperative for you, a creator of wealth to know and understand value so that you can always identify value, always seek value and entertain value. That way, you will always look at value. The Bible records in Genesis Chapter 13 verses 14 to 18 that Abraham lifted up his eyes as instructed by the Lord and he saw Canaan, the land of promise. Please see also Psalm 119 verse 37, verse 148 where David chose to look at the word of God. Job on the other chose not to look at what would make him lust after young women. Please see Job Chapter 31 verse 1.

Give Your Way to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The power to get wealth is preceded by the power to lay down. It is impossible to provoke giving without the power to lay down. . You must first lay down before you receive. This is the secret of increase. Increase your giving and you will increase your capacity to get wealth. Every seed you sow always multiplies and compounds. There is a progression – as Isaac sowed in the land, he kept waxing great, growing from one level of greatness to another.  The possible outcomes of giving include unanticipated progress to the next level. GIVING therefore INCREASES INCOME;, GIVING CAN WARD OFF DANGERS. Please see Malachi Chapter 3 verse 11.

In Deuteronomy Chapter 16 verse 17, the Bible instructs believers to give according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you. No one should appear before God empty and you give from what God has blessed with you. This implies that God will always bless you but He also expects a worship portion from that blessing through the giving of tithes and generous offerings in His house. Please see also 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verses 1 to 7.

Speak Your Way to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The word of God always has power to create beauty, love, wealth, life, etc out of nothing. The creative power of the word of God is evidenced in the Bible. Please see Romans Chapter 4 verses 17 to 25, Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 6 to 13, Numbers Chapter 23 verse 19. The Bible records that “And God said”; and there was a manifestation of the things He decreed – he called into being. Please see Genesis Chapter 1 for details of the creation story and Hebrews Chapter 11 verse 3, as well as Psalm 33 verses 6 to 9 for testimonies of the saints concerning the creative power in the word of God. Also, when Jesus thanked God for the few loaves of bread and fish that would feed the thousands; He was calling forth and creating abundance from what was available. He did not complain of insufficiency like the disciples. Instead, He thanked God who always knows how to multiply and compound whatever resources are brought before Him for multiplication and abundance. Please see John Chapter 6 verses 1 to 13 and Matthew Chapter 15 verses 32 to 39. Elisha did the same in 2^nd Kings Chapter 3. Thanksgiving brings about multiplication and increase as well as abundance.  

The statement a person makes can either make or mar him or her. That is the difference between people who speak possibilities and impossibilities. The person who speaks possibilities always sees possibilities and therefore makes conscious efforts to make the possibilities realities. The same thing applies to the person who speaks impossibilities as s/he will always see impossibilities and therefore make no effort to dream not to talk of actualizing any dream. Beloved, it is possible to speak your way to wealth.  How? By confessing daily that you are created to make abundant wealth and that God endowed you with everything you need to make wealth. In the same manner, people speak lack and poverty into their lives through daily making statements of lack and poverty about themselves.

Swim Against the Tide 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

To start with, God is not the one opposing you in your journey to financial independence. It is the devil and his cohorts. Whoever, whatever comes out to attack you on your way to the land of promise is not of God and has no power over you as God has stripped them of all power to hurt you. Therefore, be determined to move forward. Dislodge the powers of darkness and opposition in prayers. If ever there was a time to pray it is now. Match them force for force and eliminate to dispossess them. Eliminate the opposition in prayers as the Apostle Paul did to the wild beasts of Ephesus. Prophesy the word of God to stem the satanic flood waters of financial lack so that you can destroy every opposition on your path, dispossess them and move on to the land of promise. Therefore, strike hard, eliminate them, dispossess them and move on to the land of promise on your knees.

Most likely, you will experience very fierce opposition even in prayers as you may not break through to God immediately, which is accessing the throne room of God. But keep asking God for mercy by the blood of Jesus Christ; confessing your sins and asking that the blood of Jesus Christ wipe away every handwriting that is contrary to you on account of whatever sin that the enemy may holding on to; to accuse you as well as to stop you from accessing the throne room to receive forgiveness, cleansing, healing and restoration in your finances.

God Answers Prayers

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Does God answer prayers? Yes. Are you sure? Definitely. But certainly not all prayers? How do you mean? Well, prayers to make wealth. Beloved, God answers such prayers and is waiting for you to ask. The God who gives you power to make as stated in His word answers prayers on wealth creation if prayed to Him by His children who desire to do so.

The Biblical Jabez born with quite a number of minuses petitioned God for a number of pluses including the plus of wealth creation. Please see 1^st Chronicles Chapter 4 verse 9 to 10. God honored that prayer and gave Jabez everything he requested for.

Jacob practically ran away from home without a dime after outsmarting his elder brother Esau to get the birthright. On Jacob’s way to Padan Aram, he requested wealth from God. Though Laban the Uncle he lived with at Padan Aram also tried to outwit Jacob severally; significantly, God blessed Jacob with overflowing wealth, some of which he shared with his brother Esau. Genesis  Chapter 28 verses 20 to 21 Genesis Chapter 33 verses 8 to 10.

The widow of the son of the indebted prophet also asked God for financial empowerment and provision when she took her woes of the family financial indebtedness which threatened debt bondage of her two sons to the Prophet Elisha. As she implemented the divine strategies given to her by God through Prophet Elisha for wealth creation, she discovered wealth and was free of financial lack and indebtedness. Please see 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7.

Beloved, God desires to bless His children with abundant wealth (see 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verse 9 and 1^st Samuel Chapter 2 verses 7 to 8)  but the big question is, are His children willing to ask Him, pray to Him so that He will show and teach them how to accumulate such wealth? Please see Isaiah Chapter 28 verses 23 to 29.

Why You Should Not Borrow

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

For the LORD your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you. Deuteronomy Chapter 15 verse 6 

The Lord will open for you His good treasure house, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. Deuteronomy Chapter 28 verse 12

But you shall remember [with profound respect] the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore (solemnly promised) to your fathers, as it is this day. Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verse 18

You are a lender to the nations. Why should a lender to the nations borrow especially when God says you will not borrow?  Secondly, the Bible says that God will give you power to get wealth. The Lord Who promises to give you power to get wealth will always ensure that wealth accrues to you so that you will always have more than enough to live on. But you must be productively engaged like the wise and faithful servants who received five and two talents each. They deployed the talents diligently and multiplied them. Beloved, if you are productively engaged in financially, mentally and spiritually rewarding activities, God will honor His word and bless all the work of your hands as stated in Deuteronomy Chapter 28 verses 12, 8; 30 verse 9, 24 verse 19, 23 verse 20, 16 verse 15, 15 verse 18, 10, 12 verses 7 and 18.  Additionally, God in His infinite mercies and wisdom will give you the wisdom you require to own unlimited financial resources so that you always operate in and walk in financial dominion. The Biblical King Solomon is a classic example.

Pay Attention to Financial Abundance

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

What you pay attention to is what gives you direction. Reject every satanic suggestion, experiences, thoughts, imaginations, and ways of coping with lack. Rather, ask God for what you need and want instead of making do with what is available and run down, that ideally should be thrown away so that you get what works. Also, discard the lie of the devil that such times are periods of trials from the Lord when the devil is actually the one causing such lack in your life. Reject all these evils from the enemy, uproot and destroy them from your life and plant in God’s eternal structures of faithful provision and abundance in His word.  Please see Psalm 23, Deuteronomy Chapter 15 verse 6, 28 verses 11 to 13, 30 verse 9, 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verses 9, Colossians Chapter 2 verses 13 to 15.

The God who gives you the power to get wealth, to be a lender to the nations, who became poor so that you will become rich, who wiped away every handwriting of poverty concerning you and who promises severally to bless the work of your hands (Deuteronomy Chapter 24 verse 19, 23 verse 20, 16 verse 15, 15 verses 1 to 18, 14 verse 29) is not the one behind financial lack in your life. It is the devil and that devil and his cohorts stand and remain rebuked by God and His Word to you concerning financial abundance.

This is the time for you to experience and walk in financial abundance. However, you need to pay prime attention to financial abundance. This is because as you pay attention to financial abundance, you will be directed in the paths of financial abundance, taught the principles of financial abundance, given great grace to implement and you will become the owner of great financial abundance. Please see Romans Chapter 8 verse 14, 1^st John Chapter 5 verses 14 to 15, John Chapter 10 verse 10.

God is not the one opposing you in your journey to financial independence. It is the devil and his cohorts. Match them force for force and eliminate to dispossess them. God did not create you to be poor, in lack, in debt and borrowing to live. He created you to prosper, be wealthy and to be happy. Whatever then limits you from prospering is not of God, is satanic and should be destroyed completely in Jesus mighty name. Therefore, destroy every opposition on your path, dispossess them and move on to the land of promise. Whoever, whatever comes out to attack you on your way to the land of promise is not of God, has no power over you as God has stripped them of all power to hurt you. Therefore, strike hard, eliminate them, dispossess them and move on to the land of promise on your knees. If ever there was a time to pray it is now. Eliminate the opposition in prayers as the Apostle Paul did to the wild beasts of Ephesus. Uproot and destroy the strongholds of satanic financial lack.

Access to Divine Resources

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Divine resources are for divinely assigned tasks or permit me to say divine projects. Divine projects are projects specific to the plans and purposes of God for the common good and accomplishment of His purposes for humanity. The rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem was for the common good of humanity. Ezra and his team as well as the people of Judah and Benjamin who responded to the call of Cyrus to go rebuild the temple in Jerusalem accessed state resources that Cyrus released (Ezra Chapter 6 verses 3 to 4). Also, the gold and silver articles of the house of God which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon were restored to the people of Judah for onward transmission to Jerusalem for use in the new temple (Ezra Chapter 5 verses 13 to 15, 6 verse 5, 1 verses 1 to 11.

God prepared Cyrus to release the required resources while Ezra and his team were prepared by God to manage the required resources for the accomplishment of divine purposes in the divine timing of God. The Psalmist noted that kings would bring presents to God because of the temple of God at Jerusalem (Psalm 68 verses 29 to 31, 72 verses 10 to 11).

Much later, King Darius gave them additional state resources (Ezra Chapter 6 verses 8 to 14; money from taxes in the region beyond the River for the building of the temple and to be given immediately. King Artaxerxes also gave them access to state resources (Ezra Chapter 7 verses 20 to 24). The priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, Nethinims or servants of the house of God were also excluded from any form of taxation, tribute or custom.

Apart from these resources, the people received additional favor from God and their neighbors who also supported the building of the temple with their resources (Ezra Chapter 1 verses 4, 6). Additionally, the people of Judah and Benjamin, beginning with the leadership also gave generously and cheerfully for the rebuilding of the temple (Ezra Chapter 2 verses 68 to 69, Haggai Chapter 1 verses 12 to 15).

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.

Progressive Financial Increase

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Progressive increase is a function of progressive processes, Isaac planted seed, reaped a hundredfold and God blessed him and he began to prosper, continued prospering until he became very prosperous – he had great number of flocks, herds and servants. Please, see Genesis Chapters 26 verses 12 to 14; 8 verse 22 and Psalm 85 verse 12.

Progressive increase is not a one off activity but a series of progressive processes that birth increases that add up, multiply and compound into progressive increases. God works in diverse and mysterious ways. One of such ways is through progressive processes – the creation of the universe and everything in it was a series of progressive processes. All power belongs to God and it is possible for Him to create everything in an instant yet He chose progressive processes. There must be very significant reasons for doing so. Please see Genesis Chapter 1. Also, the building of Noah’s ark was a series of progressive processes (Genesis Chapter 6). So also was the filling of the ark with living things. Even the flood that destroyed the earth was not instantaneous. It was a series of progressive activities – the breaking up of the fountains of the great deep, the opening up of the windows of heaven and the rain that fell for forty days and forty nights. In like manner the drying up of the earth and reconstruction was also a series of progressive activities. Please see Genesis Chapters 7, 8 and 9. Even the release of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery and bondage was a series of progressive activities that cowed Pharaoh into releasing the Israelites to leave Egypt. The journey through the wilderness to the Promised Land was yet another series of progressive activities.

Progressive increase therefore does not happen in an instant. God promised Abraham descendants as numerous as the sand of the sea. This did not happen in an instant. Over a period of time, the descendants came through Isaac, the child of promise.

Financial increase, fame and power came to Joseph, a descendant of Abraham through a series of progressive activities and events that appeared to be huge obstacles in his path. Eventually, Joseph emerged a global leader, a governor of great wealth and a father of two nations within the nation of Israel.
