Celebrate Jubilee

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

It is jubilee and God Who is your shield and exceeding great reward is doing a new thing. He is giving you a brand new beginning and fresh new opportunities. God is just, and He is blessing you out of sequence and order so that you will skip steps in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Eyes have not seen and ears have not heard the things God has in store for you. You will see excellent and great things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. However, you must remain in His presence.

Therefore, move forward and celebrate; celebrate new things. Do not allow the devil hold you down with the past. Let go of every negative past as they are distractions. Ignore people who use your past to brand you. Proverbs Chapter 24 verse 16, Micah Chapter 7 verses 8 to 10. Break with the past to move forward. Forget the former things. God is faithful and will definitely do new things in your life in Jesus mighty name. Trust God and always move forward because God is always with you. There shall be no more backwards movements and retrogression in Jesus mighty name. Keep moving forward to your desired goals in the plans and purposes of God. It is now progress all the way because that is the will of God for you. God will not give you over to those incensed against you in Jesus mighty name. Do not fear because God has your back covered and when God covers your back, the enemy does not see you to attack you. He is the One who covers your back. Therefore, you must keep looking forward.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD TO WHERE GOD IS TAKING YOU. It is your time of double restoration. All of creation is about to yield the hidden treasures God ordained for you from the foundation of the world (2^nd Kings Chapter 13 verse 14). Your timing is in your hands. You are the one who decides to end a vicious cycle. Get up and keep moving. This is the time to acquire assets such as land, houses, shops, malls, cinema centres, and intellectual property. This is an unusual time and unusual people will take it by force. The word of God will restore everything the enemy stole from you. Job’s restoration was accomplished in one day. Chapter 1 was full of negatives but Chapter 42 chronicles multiple restoration of all Job lost. The glory of the latter house shall definitely be greater than the former and affliction shall not arise a second time in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Experience and Enjoy the God of Pleasant Surprises

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Nothing takes the God of pleasant surprises by surprise which is why He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beautiful beginning and glorious end. God always goes ahead of the enemy to safeguard His people.  He is in control of everything in the universe.

He knew that there would arise a Pharaoh determined to annihilate the Jews in a progressively subtle manner. Yet, he allowed the birth of Moses, the one who would lead the children of Israel out of Egypt at a time like that. Moses’ parents would have given up but God gave Jechobed the wisdom to hide him for three months after which He gave her additional wisdom to keep him at the River on a specific day. Why that day? Jechobed was paid to nurse her own child. She utilized the opportunity well. She instructed Moses in the ways of God before taking him to the palace.

God had prepared the heart of Pharaoh’s daughter to see, have compassion on the child, adopt him to save his life and raise him in the same institution that sought to take his life. What an awesome glorious God we serve.

Quite interesting and instructive is the fact that many at times, the devil thinks that God is not with us. But God always knows what the enemy is planning to do and plans ahead of time His mighty deliverance for us. As far as the devil and Pharaoh were concerned, the Israelites were shut in by the wilderness. They took advantage of the situation to strike but unknown to them, God had perfected the perfect exit strategy. Please see Exodus Chapter 14 as well as 1^st Corinthians Chapter 2 verse 9.

Haman thought his game of annihilate the Jews was over. But God had gone ahead of Haman long before he conceived his evil plan by placing Esther in the palace.

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.

Laugh at Recessions

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. Philippians Chapter 4 verse 19; For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verse 9, NKJV.

You can laugh at recessions or what the Bible calls famine by trusting God for divine provision, harvests and expansion in times of famine. This is because the Bible records in the following Scriptures that God will always provide for His own in times of famine. They include Job Chapter 5 verses 20 and 22, Psalm 37 verse 19, Isaiah Chapter 58 verse 11, Ezekiel Chapter 34 verse 29, 36 verses 29 to 30, Genesis Chapter 26, Genesis Chapters 41 to 50. Additionally, God is not the author of famine, hunger, lack, indebtedness and insufficiency. These are circumstances that come upon people as a result of satanic manipulations, attacks and oppressions. God blesses His children with overwhelming abundance and crowns the year with His goodness. Please see Psalm 78 verses 23 to 30, 37 verse 25, 65 verse 11.

There was a famine in Gerar where Isaac lived. The logical option was to leave Gerar for any other place where weather conditions were right for farming. But as Isaac contemplated on this option, God instructed him not to leave Gerar. He obeyed God and planted precious seed in a land experiencing famine and despite the weather conditions and the state of the soil; Isaac’s seed sprouted, flourished and produced abundant harvests because God gave the increase. Please see Genesis Chapter 26. In like manner, He will bless every seed you have planted, will plant to give you abundant harvests, great increase and prosperity in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Israel and his family moved to Egypt and enjoyed great abundance and affluence at a time of global famine because God sent Joseph ahead of time to prepare the abundance. Israel and his family did not labor for the abundance they enjoyed. The Egyptians, supervised by Joseph labored for the abundance. Also, Israel and his family did not pay for the abundance. While other nations and even the Egyptians traded in money, livestock and land for food, Israel and his family enjoyed free food on account of Joseph. God Who is rich in mercy will send people ahead of you so that you will experience and enjoy unmerited super natural abundance and expansion even at a time of famine in Jesus mighty name. Please see Genesis Chapters 41 to 47 for a detailed account of how God made abundant provision for Israel in Egypt.

Find the Money 3

To find the money, there are certain limitations and hindrances to money making that you should pay attention to closely in order not to be trapped by them. They include:

}  Refusal to pay tithes and give offerings

This manifest in refusal to tithe, inconsistent tithing, inaccurate tithing, refusal to give offerings, and even when you give, the offerings are stingy. The quality of the tithe (that is the mindset/attitude inn giving the tithe such as this is it, stop disturbing me coupled with the packaging of the tithe as well as presentation are critical determinants of genuine and sincere tithing. Also important is the source of the tithe; is it from the hire of a dog, prostitution, robbery, blood money?

Other forms of limitations and hindrances include outright refusal to support kingdom work (Haggai Chapter 1), consistent disobedience to God, rebellion( Deuteronomy Chapter 28), idolatry (Judges Chapter 7, 1^st Kings Chapter 17 and 18), dishonesty (Proverbs Chapter 13 verse 11), idle chatter (Proverbs Chapter 14 verse 22), laziness and frivolity (Proverbs Chapter 6 verses 6 to 11, 20 verses 4 and 13, 24 verses 30 to 34, 12 verse 11, 28 verse 19), giving to the rich and oppressing the poor (Proverbs Chapter 22 verse 16), profligacy (Proverbs Chapter 21 verse 17, 23 verses 20 to 21, 6 verse 26, the prodigal son), haste (Proverbs Chapter 21 verse 5b), overwork (Proverbs Chapter 23 verses 4 to 5).

Do away with hatred as hatred impoverishes. Please see Psalm 89 verse 23, Deuteronomy Chapter 7 verse 15, 1^st John Chapters 3 verses 11 to 15; 4 verse 20, Revelation Chapter 21 verse 8, Galatians Chapter 5 verses 19 to 22, Genesis Chapter 27 verse 41 (Esau and Jacob), Genesis Chapter 37 note verses 4 to 5, 8, 11, 19 to 20, 25 to 28 (Joseph and his brothers), 2^nd Samuel Chapter 13 verses 15 to 16, 22 to 33, Ezekiel Chapters 35; 36 verse 5, Proverbs Chapter 10 verse 18.

Reject pride and pray against it. Please see Deuteronomy Chapters 6 verses 10 to 13; 8 verse 10 to 18, Ezekiel Chapters 28 verses 1 to 17; 31 verses 1 to 10, Daniel Chapter  4 , 2^nd Chronicles Chapters 26 verses 15 to 21; 32 verses 25 to 26, Ezekiel Chapter 16 verses 1 to 15.

Find the Money 2

Be Proactive

The Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary of English defines proactive as “a person or policy controlling a situation by making things happen rather than waiting for things to happen and then reacting  to them. You can be proactive in the following areas:

Time and Timing – What you do with time either enriches or impoverishes you. Time invested in productive action translates to money and other resources that should be wisely managed to generate wealth. Time should not be frittered in idle chatter or sleep. At every point in time, time should be invested.

}  Of what value is time to you? What do you do with time? Please see Genesis Chapter 8 verse 22, 24 verse 11b, Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 verses 1 to 8, 11, 17 Proverbs Chapter 10 verse 5, 30 verse 25, Zechariah Chapter 10 verse 1 for how people took advantage of time and invested time.  Spend quality time with God to receive favor and divine ideas; and in your business to know and understand the business.

}  Planning; one of the ways to plan is budgeting (Luke Chapter 14 verses 28 to 32, Matthew Chapter 25 verses 1 to 13). A budget is a financial plan, a road map that helps you manage your income and expenses.

}  Call to action – The servant of Abraham who went to procure a wife for Isaac applied this principle. He made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well. Please see Genesis Chapter 24 verses 11a, 16 to 20.  Joseph also did same when he asked Pharaoh and his court to search for a discerning person that would manage the surplus of the seven years for plentiful harvests to safeguard the impending famine. Please see Genesis Chapter 41 verses 32 to 42. Daniel approached the King to request for more time. The allied army of Israel, Judah and Edom going for war ran out of water in the desert, a wrong place to look for water. Their primary aim was to not to look for water in the desert. It was to fight the Moabites. But water became a challenge. They then went to see the Prophet Elisha who instructed them to make the valley full of ditches despite the fact there was no water in sight. They obeyed and made the valley full of ditches and had water. Please see 2^nd Kings Chapter 3 verse 16.
