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!

Seed Time and Harvest

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

It is always God’s design that we receive a harvest and usually the harvest is often more than the seed planted. Genesis Chapter 8 verse 22, Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 verse 2, Philippians Chapter 4 verses 14 to 19, Galatians Chapter 6 verse 9. It is not a one way traffic of just giving but a two way traffic of giving and receiving. Please see Mark Chapter 4 verses 26 to 29 and Hebrews Chapter 4.

A major prerequisite of abundant harvests is planting of seeds. Seeds differ. A fertile soil is another major prerequisite for abundant harvests. The seed must also be quality seed. There is a relationship between water and abundant harvests. Water is one of the ingredients for nourishment and growth – Ezekiel Chapter 17 verses 5 to 8, 19 verse 10, Jeremiah Chapter 17 verse 8, Psalm 1 verse 3, Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verse 7, 11 verses 10 to 15, Leviticus Chapter 26 verses 4 to 5, 9 to 10, Job Chapter 14 verses 7 to 9, Psalm 68 verses 8 to 9, 104 verses 13 to 17, Numbers Chapter 24 verses 6 to 7. Patience is required for the seed to go through the processes required for the abundant harvests to come. Every planting begets harvests albeit abundant harvests. Please see Luke Chapter 6 verse 38, Genesis Chapter 49, Isaiah Chapter 22, Isaiah Chapter 35 verses 6 to 7, 41 verses 17 to 20, 43 verses 19 to 20, 44 verses 1 to 4, 32 verse 20, Ecclesiastes Chapter 11 verse 1. Other Scriptures on abundant harvests – Psalms 147 verses 8 to 9, 126 verses 5 to 6, 107 verses 35 to 38, 92 verses 12 to 15, 85 verse 12, 65 verses 9 to 13, 67 verses 5 to 6, 72 verse 8.

No More Limits

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Limitations are meant to stall progress, restrict movement in the short term  and in the long term eliminate or overrun.

The walls of Jericho coupled with its well secured gates represented a blockade, barrier that was spiritual and physical, as well as mental, and constituted an opposition, a very fierce one to the progress of the children of Israel from Egypt to the land of Canaan. The gates were locked against the children of Israel and that became a major limitation, in fact a barricade against progress to the Promised Land. But those walls came down by the power of God as the children of Israel received divine strength to bring down the walls. Praise, shouts of joy brought it down and the children of Israel moved on after Jericho was burnt to the ground. Please see Joshua Chapter 6.

No more limits in Jesus mighty name. That wall had placed a limit of proceed no further but God destroyed that limit because He alone can place or set limits on people, individuals, families, communities and nations. Therefore, any limit by anyone was subject to God’s sudden destruction and would always be destroyed by God.

Moab, Ammon and Mount Seir were determined to overrun and eliminate Judah. Praise to God by the Israelites and the three nations turned against each other and eliminated themselves; leaving abundant wealth to the Israelites. Please see 2nd Chronicles Chapter 20.

Locking up Paul and Silas in Philippi was meant to hinder the preaching of the gospel but unknown to those who brought accusations and charges against them as well as those who locked them up, that was an open door, in fact a very big and effective one for the preaching of the gospel as the keeper of the prison and his entire household were saved. Please see Acts Chapter 16 verses 16 to 40.

 What God is saying is that the satanic barricades and limits are down, completely destroyed for free, safe and unhindered passage to His heights for you in Jesus mighty name.

Organize Your Life to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Organize the pieces of your life together to get the whole God is creating, that whole that is filled with the glory of God. The organization should align with specificity of purpose to enable you focus on divine direction, have clarity to facilitate divinely backed implementation and achievement. Beloved, God is making something beautiful, outstanding, significant, relevant and honorable with your life. Do not give up or give in for you shall be called sought out, a desirable place. You are the City of God’s Delight. To be sought out refers to a place or person or something where people seek because there is something of value in it. The value in this case is the glory of God bestowed on you by God. What is glory? The dictionary refers to glory as praise and worship of God, fame, praise or honor given to somebody because they have achieved something important. It also refers to great beauty, special cause for pride, respect or pleasure. In the book of Haggai Chapter 2 verse 7, it refers to splendor.


God is taking you somewhere big and higher than anything you can ever imagine. It is the place of global recognition and visibility as well as financial Abundance - Isaiah Chapter 54 verses 1 to 5, Job Chapter 8 verse 7.  He is taking you to a land of prosperity, increase, expansion and fruitfulness. Please see Deuteronomy Chapter 28 verses 1 to 14. The promises in this Scripture are against the backdrop of the ones in Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verses 1 to 18, take note of verses and 7 to 9, For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass; and Deuteronomy Chapter 11 verses 8 to 13. A land that God Himself watches over at all times, waters at the right season and ensures a great harvest. See Psalm Chapter 65 verses 9 to 13, Psalms Chapters 1 and 23, Malachi Chapter 3 verses 10 to 12 and Leviticus Chapter 26 verse 5.

There is therefore no need to rush. All you need do is go at His pace, do things the way He would have you do them and trust Him to meet all the seeming pressing needs that bother you. The prophet Elisha gave this instruction to the widow of the indebted prophet “Go (move, act) sell the oil, pay your debts and live on rest”. She was advised by the prophet Elisha to solve the financial crisis first and then manage what she had left so that she would not go into debt again. Always go at the pace of the Holy Spirit for that is when you get it right. Never allow yourself to be stampeded by any one or circumstances. Haste often produces wrong decisions, actions and counsel.

Therefore work with available resources to move from point A to B even if your present available resources  include the Word of God, prayers, faith, prophetic utterances, what you may consider of little value but is indeed of great value. The woman had what she thought and referred to as only a jar of oil. She had no inkling of the economic value and that it could be all she required to get out of debt.
