Focus on Solutions 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Beloved, you can request help of God to overcome whatever challenges you if only you will focus on solutions rather than on stewing over whatever assails you. Are you sick and in need of healing? God still heals and will gladly heal you if you ask Him to do so. King Hezekiah of Judah cried to God for help when he was sick unto death. God not only healed him; He also gave him additional years to live on planet earth. It is also quite instructive that King Hezekiah was advised on what medications to use and he used them. This implies that God’s healing come in diverse ways; sometimes with His word and the ailment disappears as in a number of cases in the Bible, sometimes with medications as in the case of Hezekiah, the blind man Jesus ministered to with sand and other materials; sometimes by anointing with oil after prayers by the elders of the Church as instructed in the Bible in the book of James. Beloved, God is new every day and will direct you on how to get healed if you focus on receiving healing from Him rather than on the ailment and its pain.

Are you in debt? Take your focus away from the huge amount of debt and ask God to show you how to earn great income with which you can pay off the debts. Worrying about the debts and the consequent actions of servitude that will be taken by your creditor will not solve the problem. What will solve the problem is, you turning to God for solutions. Please quickly do so now if this is the challenge you are experiencing. You will be pleasantly surprised to discover that God will not only help you pay off the debts, He will also empower you to become a lender to nations. The case of the indebted widow of the prophet in 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7 is instructive and faith inspiring.

Prepare for Abundance 3

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Do what God asks of you and He will supply the abundance you require in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. The keyword is PREPARE.

Jesus Christ asked the servants at the wedding feast in Canaan to fill the water pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. Six water pots filled to the brim speaks of adequate preparation for abundance as the Bible records that the six water pots were about one hundred and eighty gallons of water, albeit, one hundred and eighty gallons of wine. Quite significant and instructive is the fact that the only task assigned the servants in preparation for the forthcoming abundance was to fill all six water pots to the brim. The turning of the water into wine was the task and responsibility of Jesus Christ for as soon as the water pots were filled to the brim, Jesus asked them to draw some “supposedly water” out to give to the Master of the feast. Upon tasting the supposedly water now turned wine, in point of fact very good wine, the master of the feast commended the bridegroom for reserving the good wine till the end of the feast. Please read John Chapter 2 verses 1 to 10. It is significant to note that what appeared to be a situation of lack that was about to bring disgrace and reproach to the family turned out to be a situation of surplus, overflowing abundance because God in His infinite mercies intervened and quite instructive is the fact that the people obeyed the divine instruction to prepare for abundance. The result was the miraculous supply of abundant wine at the wedding feast.

Prepare for Abundance 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Naaman commenced preparation to abundant divine health when the information his wife’s maid gave about the prophet in Israel got to him. Though some of the preparations were not necessary, they took him to Israel where he eventually went to see the prophet. Though Elisha did not come out to see Naaman immediately, he gave Naaman instructions to go wash in the Jordan seven times through a servant. Naaman initially despised the instruction which in reality was the major preparation to divine health for him. This is because as soon as Naaman dipped in the Jordan seven times, adequate preparation; the Bible records that Naaman was made whole. 

Blind Bartimaeus had heard about Jesus but the notice to meet with Jesus was short, in point of fact, very short. Yet, Bartimaeus quickly prepared for a divine turn around encounter with Jesus by harnessing the resources at his disposal to reach Jesus. He used his voice, significantly in a very loud manner. Jesus heard him and stopped to ask Bartimaeus what he wanted. Again, Bartimaeus was mentally and spiritually prepared. He requested to receive his sight which Jesus gladly gave him. Beloved, Bartimaeus was physically, spiritually and mentally prepared for abundant health and received it. Physically, he exerted himself crying out loudly to be heard above the din of the multitudes around Jesus talking and walking and even some people tried to shut him up, he cried louder. Spiritually, he referred to Jesus Christ as Lord; that is to say that he acknowledged the Lordship of Jesus Christ over his life. Mentally, he was more than prepared. His priority was to receive his sight and that was the only request he made in response to Jesus’ question. Beloved, Bartimaeus worked within the resources at his disposal even at very short notice. He did not make excuses despite the challenges which stared him in the face. For instance, he did not know Jesus physically and he could not see therefore he had no idea what Jesus looked like. He could also not tell exactly where Jesus stood and even if he could, how was he to walk up to Jesus unguided with the crowd around Jesus. Yet, Bartimaeus strategized effectively even at very short notice and received divine abundance. He could see, see to learn a trade or get an education to earn an income and stop begging. Please read Luke Chapter 18 verses 35 to 43.

Prepare for Abundance

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Preparation for abundance is not idling away because God promises overflowing abundance. Please read Deuteronomy Chapters 15 verse 6, 28 verses 12 to 13 and Malachi Chapter 10 verses 10 to 12. Rather, it is obeying the voice of God to carry out whatever divine instructions He gives through the Holy Spirit, in His word or through His anointed servants. The biblical case studies who prepared for abundance and received abundance were productively engaged in the divine tasks assigned to them that would bring about the required abundance. Therefore, take up your tools and work the divine tasks diligently so that your great expectations of overflowing abundance would not be cut short. Also, preparations for abundance are as diverse as people and professions are diverse. 

Prophet Elijah had prophesied abundant rain in the midst of a drought that was well on in its third year. Such audacity! But Elijah did not speak by his own spirit. He did not speak cleverly devised lies to massage the ego of the people. He spoke as directed by God and by the Spirit of God. However, some preparations had to take place such as the restoration of the altar of God and worship of God in Israel; the elimination of the prophets of Baal as well as destruction of their altars. The moment Elijah accomplished these tasks, he instructed King Ahab to go eat and drink; in essence, celebrate the abundant rain. He also advised Ahab to hurry home so that he would not be drenched by the heavy downpour. While Ahab was feasting, Elijah who was not with the divine preparatory tasks commenced his multi level intercession for the heavenly release of the abundant rain. He did not give up until he saw results. Thereafter, he sent word to Ahab. The land was drenched in abundant rain. 

Break Up Your Fallow Ground

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The expression, “Break up your fallow ground” (Hos. 10:12; Jeremiah 4:3) means, “Do not sow your seed among thorns”, i.e., break off all your evil habits; clear your hearts of weeds, in order that they may be prepared for the seed of righteousness. Land was allowed to lie fallow that it might become more fruitful; but when in this condition, it soon became overgrown with thorns and weeds. The cultivator of the soil was careful to “break up” his fallow ground, i.e., to clear the field of weeds, before sowing seed in it. So says the prophet, “Break off your evil ways, repent of your sins, cease to do evil, and then the good seed of the word will have room to grow and bear fruit.” https://christiananswers.net/dictionary/fallow-ground.html

An untilled land is also fallow ground especially if it is left fallow on account of laziness or frittering time in activities that have neither eternal nor financial value. Please see Proverbs Chapters 12 verse 11, 28 verse 19, Hosea Chapter 10 verse 12, Jeremiah Chapter 4 verse 3, and Hebrews Chapter 6 verses 7 to 8.

In Luke Chapter 13 verses 6 to 9, Jesus Christ talked about the landowner who wanted to cut down the unproductive fig tree that was using up ground space without producing anything. The question then is why use up the ground and not produce anything, especially what is of value to humanity? Why own a ground and keep it fallow when it should be productively engaged to produce what is of value to humanity? That would be akin to what the wicked lazy servant, the servant who refused to trade his talent did. He refused to be productively engaged with the talent in his hand that would have multiplied resources to bless humanity. He was punished with eternal damnation, called wicked and lazy. Is it then possible that refusal to work the ground given to one by God can lead to eternal damnation? Is it also the same thing as willful destruction? Please see Proverbs Chapter 18 verse 19, Ecclesiastes Chapter 10 verse 18.

In Proverbs Chapter 12 verse 11, the Bible refers to the person who follows frivolity as a person devoid of understanding while a person who tills his or her land will have plenty of bread. This is further reiterated in Proverbs Chapter 28 verse 19 (plenty of bread for land tillers as well as abundant provision for clothing, land ownership, food and general maintenance. Please see Genesis Chapters 26 verses 1 to 14; 30 verses 25 to 43, Proverbs Chapter 31 verses 10 to 3. And poverty for those who follow frivolity). Following after frivolity and sowing among thorns is akin to laboring in vain, frittering time in non productive activities that do not yield any benefit; have no value whatsoever whether on earth or in eternity; akin to time wasting activities. Activities that have no eternal value, which do not impact people positively for God and the good of humanity are frivolous activities and can also be likened to sowing among thorns.

Beloved, take time off to evaluate your present activities and relationships to ascertain whether you are impacting people positively for God (eternal value); and the general good of humanity. Otherwise, you are engaged in either frivolous activities or you are sowing among thorns. Your real wealth are your treasures laid up in heaven; the souls harvested into the kingdom on account of your giving, your prayers, Bible teaching and counsel, encouragement, care giving and evangelism. Therefore seek ye first the kingdom of God so that every other thing will be added unto you. P;ease see Matthew Chapter 6 verses 33, 19 to 21.

Build Financial Empires

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Financial empires do not happen overnight or in an instance. They are products of processes and long term planning. Your preoccupation should therefore be how to access the financial abundance God blessed you with so you can build financial empires. How you may ask? Be consciously and actively involved and engaged in money making activities. Do not assume. Do what has to be done legally and godly to earn an income. Produce and sell goods as in the case of the widow of the indebted prophet in 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7, Lydia in Acts Chapter 16 verse 14, the virtuous woman of Proverbs Chapter 31 verses 10 to 31, Aquila, Priscilla and the Apostle Paul who were tent makers in Acts Chapter 18 verses 1 to 3.

Know and understand the dynamics of whatever industry you operate in. Google how other people are selling their products and services and learn. Take the best practices especially what the Holy Spirit will have you learn and implement.

Set annual sales targets and try to exceed them.

Break annual sales targets to monthly, weekly and daily sales targets.

Develop and implement strategies for making such sales.

Ask God to help you exceed the targets.

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.
