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.

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.

The Essence and Focus of Work

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

At creation, God gave man work to do (Genesis Chapter 2 verse 15). In Genesis Chapter 2 verses 5 to 15, the Bible describes how the Garden of Eden was created - again without the effort of man. The trees that bore fruit for food grew out of the ground and a river watered the garden. Man did not even have to do the watering – God prepared the river to do it. Man’s assignment was to tend and keep the garden as well as feed from it. What bliss!

The essence and focus of work is on being productive to be financially rewarding and not on being busy. Therefore, be purposeful, productive and profitable in your work by investing time to engage in in spiritually, physically, mentally and financially productive and rewarding processes as well as relationships in your work. As much as possible, avoid time wasting relationships, activities and utterances. People without clear  cut visions and even when they have visions but do not have clearly identified goals, SMART objectives. Therefore they do  not have clear road maps of where they are headed in life because they have no idea where they are going. If you must spend time with such people, make it really minimal otherwise you will be caught in their maze of a circular dance that does not take or move anyone forward in life. Spending quality time with such people is akin to hanging around a dried up brook in a long period of drought hoping against hope that water will suddenly come from nowhere.

Beloved, the sensible thing to do is to move away as fast as your legs or any means of transport at your disposal can carry you out of a dried up brook. Dried up brooks have nothing to offer. God instructed the prophet Elijah to move out of a dried up brook. Please see 1^st Kings Chapter 17 verses 3 to 10.

Decide to be Wealthy 1

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Nobody was created poor by God. Everyone was designed to be wealthy in the original plan of God for man. However, sin interfered and brought poverty along which explains why Jesus Christ became poor so that humanity can regain wealth. Please see 2nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verse 9. Therefore, the choice and decision to be wealthy is yours irrespective of wherever you are now in the wealth pedestal and whatever circumstances assail you. The choice and decision to be wealthy has to be accompanied by a speedy and prompt mental paradigm shift that will dislodge all the mental strongholds of poverty entrenched in your mental processes over the years. 

Poverty means lack, absence of capacity. A state of lack or want is a state of poverty reflecting spiritual poverty, ignorance, poverty of ideas, financial poverty, emotional poverty, psychological poverty, material poverty, poverty of ethics, etc. Therefore, poverty incapacitates, most often to stagnate, to hinder or limit progress, to slow down and to progressively destroy. 

Poverty is satanic and manifests the following symptoms – spiritual poverty, mental poverty, including intellectual poverty, financial poverty, physical poverty, etc. Poverty is also multi dimensional and afflicts at various levels – mental, physical, intellectual, marital, spiritual, financial, economic, social and political. Even when poverty is satanically induced, it can be eliminated at the foot of the cross through total surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. God never intended poverty for anyone. It is a tool of the enemy to stop people from entering into and actualizing the plans and purposes of God for their lives. No matter the hydra headed dimensions of poverty, the satanic altars serving it, the events and circumstances in your life that make it seem like poverty is your lot in life, beloved, hear the word of God in 2nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verse 9. From this Scripture, it is clear that poverty is not God’s plan for anyone. Secondly, poverty can be eliminated because over 2, 000 years ago, Jesus Christ paid the full price for the elimination of poverty. Please see Colossians Chapter 2 verses 12 to 15, 1st John Chapter 3 verse 8. Therefore, if poverty afflicts you on account of sin (be it personal, ancestral, community, national) or it is satanically engineered, Jesus Christ has paid the full penalty for it. What you need to do is take the poverty and all its branches and root to the foot of the cross for total destruction and elimination from your life and lineage. God is faithful and will gladly do it as His desire and plan for you is to live an abundant life in Christ Jesus.
