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.

Wisdom for Seed Planting 3 - The Wayside Heart

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The wayside heart is grossly unprepared for the gospel. Consequently, it cannot process the gospel which explains why the seed of the gospel planted in it is carelessly trampled upon and devoured. In like manner, business and money making ideas, products and services taken to the wayside ground will automatically fizzle out, the products and services will be treated as scum, disdained, rejected and if you have no idea who you are and what the quality of your products and services are; you will lose confidence in yourself, your ideas, products and services and will not have the confidence you require to multiply and compound your resources to wealth and success and be the blessing God created you to be to humanity. Why is that so? Because you took what is of value to a ground that is not prepared for value, does not know value, appreciate value and is therefore not receptive to value. What happens? That value is trampled down and devoured.

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. 

Step Up Your Game 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Institutionalize and put relevant structures on ground so that you can flourish and bloom with your God given vision. Instituting the God ordained structures that impact to transform humanity which you have been instructed to institute by the Holy Spirit will speed up processes for you and give you great mileage ahead of your competition.

Be more friendly. It is said that people who smile and are friendly are usually welcome anywhere. This is because people care about how much you care about them and not necessarily what you know though what you know may also come in handy.

Treat people with respect. Truth, integrity, honesty, rule of law and respect for others is not a sign of weakness. Besides, you never can tell; great people sometimes come in small packages. 

Be more generous. Generosity always has the capacity to enlarge you. Therefore give because it is more blessed to give than to receive and anything given is a seed and because seeds always germinate and produce a harvest in response to the law of seed time and harvest, your giving will always bring blessings to you if done in line with the will of God for your life. Every opportunity to give is an opportunity to be blessed. When you give you provoke the law of giving –Please see Genesis Chapter 8 verse 22 and Luke Chapter 6 verse 38. Every seed in your hand is pregnant with plantations. You can count the number of seeds in an orange but you cannot count the number of oranges in a seed. Give of your time, talent and treasure – Luke Chapter 9 verses 14 to 17. 

Step Up Your Game 1

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Diligence is careful and thorough work or effort while to be diligent is show care and effort in your work or duties. This means paying attention to details, getting accurate information to ensure your ts are crossed and your is are dotted, you know the meaning of words before using them. Diligence speaks about organization and order. From How to Labor for Profit by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

To step up your game implies that you have already have an ongoing game. But wherever you are in that game and irrespective of whatever successes you have achieved, you still have more ground to cover as you have not seen your best days yet. Therefore, take a quality decision to step up your game. How, you may ask. 

Be more diligent in whatever God assigned you to do on planet earth. The widow of the indebted prophet was asked to SELL the Oil she had, PAY her Debts and LIVE on the Rest. Please take note of the Key phrases such as a jar of oil, GO implying that she should move, possibly from her comfort zone as well as act. Additionally, she was asked to borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbours. The prophet was very specific in his instructions to the widow; she was to borrow vessels from everywhere, all her neighbours, and significantly, empty vessels in large quantities (many, as many as you can borrow. She was also to shut the door behind her (avoid distractions, run away from them; focus, concentrate on what has to be done). Pour the jar of oil into all the vessels, and as each vessel is filled, set it aside so that you have the filled vessels on one side and the empty vessels on one side. The widow followed through on every one of the instructions and significantly became not only debt free but financially free for the rest of her life. 

The virtuous woman of Proverbs Chapter 31 verses 10 to 31 consistently stretched out the curtains to enlarge her tent in about every area of life – as a child of God, as a wife, as a mother, as a mistress and leader in the home, as a business woman and as an individual in her community.  She diligently and intelligently stretched out her curtains, reinvesting profits in diverse businesses; always considering the implications of doing so. She is a role model.

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.

Brand Yourself to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Your brand is the sum total of your true worth, capabilities and influence.  This includes your contacts – all the people you know that can support your brand. Your brand is wealth worth billions if only you know what to do with the brand.

The role of relationships and partnerships in branding is very significant. The significance of right relationships in quality branding cannot be overemphasized. That is why you should engage in right relationships such as spiritually, physically, financially and mentally rewarding relationships that brand and position you strategically for wealth, success, honor and fame.

Spiritually rewarding relationships are relationships that build you, strengthen and enhance you spiritually. The greatest and best of such relationships that I can think of is your relationship with God through Jesus Christ and the indwelling Presence of God through the precious Holy Spirit. This relationship not only guarantees life in eternity with Jesus Christ (John Chapter 3 verses 1 to 5, 16 to 19); but knowledge, understanding and wisdom for daily living (Isaiah Chapter 48 verse 17); which ultimately leads to wealth and success.

Sing Your Own Song

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You are the only one who can sing your own song the loudest. You are the only one who can celebrate yourself, your achievements, successes, your purpose and everything God created you to be. If you do not celebrate yourself, brand yourself and position yourself where you should be, chances are that no one will push you up there. Therefore, quit the facelessness, namelessness, I do not want to be in the news; I do not want to make front page stuff. FrontPage is where you should be, announcing to the world the products and services you have designed to bless humanity. I do realize that your products or services can be publicized without you necessarily being publicized. But say, is Bill Gates not a public face? How about Donald Trump, Richard Branson, Suze Orman, Oprah Winfrey, Mark Zuckerberg and so many other people making money effortlessly? They all make front page news. I suggest you do the same. Get out of the back seat into the front seat. Quit being a backside lieutenant and become the frontline General God created you to be. You do not belong in the museum or archives while you are alive and well. The limelight and klieg lights is where you belong. Get moving and fast. Kill every reluctance and hesitation to advertise you as hiding in the backyard could militate against access to billions. Therefore, refuse to be bound to you are not good enough or your products and services are not good enough or you should not be celebrated.  Destroy such boundary limiting satanic thoughts and fears with a conscious and determined decision to improve and excel in every area where you are not good enough. Do a quick upgrade to excellence!

I can access, own and manage the divine billions God deposited in me through Christ Who strengthens me in Jesus mighty name, AMEN.

Look Beyond the Challenges

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Challenges are a constant reality of life. Most times, they come unannounced, throwing one off balance. But when they are properly scrutinized and processed, they become stepping stones. Therefore, do not panic, do not be afraid, and do not be intimidated. You can reign over any circumstance. God wants you to be on top of it. There is no room for docile, impassive and indifferent people. Every gazelle knows that it has to outrun the fastest lion in order not to be used for breakfast and every lion knows that it has to rise early enough to outrun the fastest gazelle in order to have breakfast.

The diligent make use of everything they find. Jesus Christ preached from a mountain top, used Peter’s boat and also taught in the synagogues owned and administered by the same Pharisees and Sadducees who opposed Him and sought to kill him. Please Matthew Chapter 4 verse 23, 5 verse 1, Luke Chapter 5 verses 1 to 3, and Proverbs Chapter 12 verse 27.  Jesus, the Son of the great I AM WHO I AM, says to you today, I AM ALL you need to come out of any situation that challenges you. I alone can give you the strength, the capacities, the wealth, the affluence that you require to overrule that situation. Please see how He did it for King David of Israel in Psalm 18.

Be a Flowing Stream

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Flowing streams distribute their God given resources, namely water as directed by God. That is why streams flow into rivers and rivers flow into seas and seas flow into oceans. That way, they distribute their natural resources as God would have them distribute such resources so that humanity and other living beings are blessed. In like manner, God expects everyone blessed with divine resources to distribute such resources as directed by God for the blessing of humanity as well as other living beings.

Resource distributors are not necessarily people who give away resources for free. They also include people who distribute resources for a fee such as the distributor of grain in Proverbs Chapter 11 verse 2b. He sold the grain yet was blessed for doing so. Joseph sold the grain that was harvested from the farms of the Egyptians to the Egyptians yet they blessed him. Please see Genesis Chaptre 41 verses 54 to 57, 42 verses 1 to 5, 47 verses 13 to 26.

Distributing resources expands resources as in the case of the diligent servants described in the parable of talents. Please see Matthew Chapter 25 verses 14 to 30.  The wicked and unprofitable servant was cast out into outer darkness because he refused to expand the resources he was blessed with through distributing it.

Roll Away the Stone of Poverty

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.  Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been [dead] four days.John Chapter 11 verses 38 to 39.

Lazarus is an abstraction for the name Eliezer meaning God has helped. This means that instant help at all times from God was available to Lazarus yet he fell sick, died and was buried because Jesus Christ did not show up when Lazarus was sick. Eventually, Jesus arrived and was taken to the tomb where Lazarus lay almost beginning to rot. The stone covering the tomb blocked entrance into the tomb therefore no one could access Lazarus. Jesus then ordered that the stone should be rolled away.  The stone constituted a blockade. Until the stone was removed, Jesus could not intervene and when the stone was removed at the command of Jesus Christ, Jesus intervened. The stone was blocking Lazarus’ exit from the tomb which explains why Jesus commanded the stone to be rolled away.

Beloved, this implies that open gates grant access to miracles. Miracles of course differ but for this article, the focus is on the miracle of abundant wealth to people who hitherto had never known or accessed wealth. Please see Isaiah Chapter 60 verses 11 to 13 for an understanding of how open gates translates to the transference of wealth. Wealth cannot be transferred if the gates that the wealth will pass through are barricaded by a stumbling stone. Stumbling stones may not necessarily be physical. They could be spiritual and mental or either.

Unbelief and doubt can constitute great stumbling blocks to wealth if they are not rolled away like the stone at the tomb. This is because unbelief makes people doubt the word of God and therefore disobey God’s instructions to make wealth. Additionally unbelief denies people the precious presence of the Holy Spirit Who helps people make wealth by directing them on what to do with regards to who to associate with and where to be or go to in order to make wealth. In Luke Chapter 1 verse 45, the Bible records that the word of God to Mary was performed because she believed. The performance of God’s word and His promises on abundant wealth is therefore a function of your belief. To roll away the stone of poverty, whether generational or not, it is your responsibility to drop the filthy garments of unbelief so that your faith can become stronger.

Decisions Decide Wealth 1

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The owner and source of wealth is God. Significantly, He created you wealthy (Deuteronomy Chapters 8 verse 18, 15 verse 6, 28 verses 12 and 13). Connect to God through salvation by faith in Christ Jesus, invest in a relationship with Him today and become wealthy through Him.

Wealth acquisition and accumulation is progressive. It is not a one off event. Though the activities leading up to progressive wealth acquisition and accumulation may be a one off activity, the truth is that the process is progressive. No billionaire became a billionaire overnight. They progressively accumulated wealth and as each wealth grew progressively, they became wealthy (Genesis Chapter 26 verses 12 to 14).

Do not allow anyone to stifle you or the gifts of God in you. God deposited His gifts in you to enrich you, expand you and enlarge you to great wealth. If you therefore allow people to stifle you or your gifts, you become impoverished and poor.

Reject Aid. No one was born poor. People become poor on account of the choices they make in life. Aid truncates divine destinies. Aid limits people from applying themselves, stretching themselves to excel and to rise up to their potentials in Christ Jesus. Aid fosters a dependence mentality which ultimately translates to mental and financial poverty – Genesis Chapter 49 verses 14 to 15. Aid makes people complacent especially sustained aid.
