Rule over Your Enemies

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You will find what you are looking for when you are spiritually and mentally awake. Arise from slumber. Deepen your relationship with God through in-depth word study, worship and expanded praise, thanksgiving, be more obedient to God – prompt and willing obedience, not grudgingly or compelled to but willingly and happily, loving obedience to God.

Be focused - do away with distractions, ignore them completely irrespective of whatever forms they come in.  Concentrate on what has to be done and do it excellently.

Maintain and celebrate a culture of excellence. Copy best practices and learn from those who truly know. Invest in continuous self improvement and be attentive, in fact more attentive than you have ever been. Be more analytic.

Create room for more. The harvests you have seen are the least you will ever see because greater and bigger harvests are on the way. Your giving should line up with where you are headed. Your giving should reflect where you are going. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse of God. Please see Malachi Chapter 3 verses 10 to 13.

Abolish famine in the land. No more ridicule on account of famine. God who does not lie and will never lie will give you good crops and great harvests from everything you plant in Jesus mighty name, AMEN.

Take Vantage Positions 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Cities do not happen on hills by chance. They are deliberately, purposefully, consciously and strategically planted, built and set on hills for specific purposes or reasons ranging from protection, security, visibility, etc. whatever be the reason,  the import is that cities are set on hills purposefully and by choice.

A hill is a conspicuous, strategic and vantage location that gives visibility to both people below the hill and those on top of the hill. Those below see the city on the hill easily as opposed to other nearby cities on lowland. And for those on the hills, they can easily see intruders, predators, competition, enemies and have sufficient time to prepare to repel such attacks.

The essence of a product or service is to impact and bless people by adding value to their lives. And when people discover this, they will definitely seek the product or service. But if the product or service is buried in a hideout, an obscure, inaccessible terrain, how does the product get to the people? How do people access the product or service? Therein lies the wisdom of setting cities on hills so that they will not be hidden. Joseph was thrown into prison, hopefully to obscure him into oblivion so that his lights would stop shining. Joseph chose the path of making prison a hill. He shone his lights as brightly as prison allowed him and prison became a launch pad, a springboard to global limelight, relevance, significance and dominance.

Beloved, make the effort to shine your lights as brightly as God would have you shine them wherever God placed you to shine them. That way, you will leapfrog whatever limitations and barriers that the enemy attempts to place in your path. This is not to say that you should sit docile and passive; refuse to make conscious, deliberate purposeful efforts to build and plant on a hill for global visibility. It is your responsibility to do so but trust God.
