Choose Global Desirability

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God is the author of global desirability in the life of anyone. He does it by giving the person destined for global desirability His glory. Please see Haggai Chapter 2 verses 6 to 9 and Isaiah Chapter 60 verses 1 to 22. This glory of God usually manifest through His Presence in the life of a person. The Bible records that God was with Joseph, Isaac, Abraham, David as well as a number of other successful Biblical characters and this holy Presence in the life of a person manifests in a number of ways.

For David, it was military prowess; Joseph, it was the gift of problem solving through the word of knowledge and wisdom coupled with his sincere commitment to God. Daniel was also blessed with this gift and rose to global desirability, relevance and prominence. He was greatly sought after by Kings Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar and Darius.

A person, institution, product or service can be globally visible yet not desirable. But when God is with you and His presence and glory is in you, He makes you globally visible and desirable as in the case of Joseph. There is a difference between global visibility and global desirability. A person, institution, product or service can be globally visible because of the opportunities or privileges available to occupy global platforms or space yet may not be globally desirable; that is liked, accepted or wanted. In such cases, global visibility is of no use really. What is the essence of being known globally and yet not desired, therefore not relevant and significant? But global visibility accompanied by global desirability culminates in significance and relevance which ultimately translates to dominance if managed wisely as instructed by God through His Holy Spirit.

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.

Give Commercial Value to Your Imagination

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Your imagination is one of your intangible assets. Intangible assets are the seeds of God in you for increase. They are meant to generate tangible assets. That is to say that you birth tangible assets with your intangible assets.

Your imagination can become a wealth plaza if the wildest runs of your imagination are properly harnessed to create wealth. Jacob was severally short changed by Laban. Rather than complain, murmur, grumble, wish Laban evil or even curse Laban in his heart or in the fields where he shepherded the flocks of Laban, steal from Laban; Jacob chose to put his imagination to very brilliant use. He collated the strings of ideas on how to come up with streaked animals out of non streaked animals, experimented and succeeded in growing a large number of animals that made him wealthy. Jacob gave commercial value to his imagination and created great wealth. He shared some of the wealth with his twin brother Esau and still had much. That gives an idea of how much wealth the positive use to which he put his imagination generated.

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.

Why You Should Not Borrow

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

For the LORD your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you. Deuteronomy Chapter 15 verse 6 

The Lord will open for you His good treasure house, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. Deuteronomy Chapter 28 verse 12

But you shall remember [with profound respect] the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore (solemnly promised) to your fathers, as it is this day. Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verse 18

You are a lender to the nations. Why should a lender to the nations borrow especially when God says you will not borrow?  Secondly, the Bible says that God will give you power to get wealth. The Lord Who promises to give you power to get wealth will always ensure that wealth accrues to you so that you will always have more than enough to live on. But you must be productively engaged like the wise and faithful servants who received five and two talents each. They deployed the talents diligently and multiplied them. Beloved, if you are productively engaged in financially, mentally and spiritually rewarding activities, God will honor His word and bless all the work of your hands as stated in Deuteronomy Chapter 28 verses 12, 8; 30 verse 9, 24 verse 19, 23 verse 20, 16 verse 15, 15 verse 18, 10, 12 verses 7 and 18.  Additionally, God in His infinite mercies and wisdom will give you the wisdom you require to own unlimited financial resources so that you always operate in and walk in financial dominion. The Biblical King Solomon is a classic example.

Soul winning Births Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Soul winning is not struggling for positions but service to humanity – Luke Chapter 24. It  is about doing good to the people. You are a soul winner when lives are positively impacted for Christ. The gospel and not personal lives or wealth should be preached. Jesus had vision, mission statements and a clear job description – Luke Chapter 4. Jesus did not act independently. He acted on the father’s instruction based on the divine mandate he received. The presence of the Holy Spirit is Who you need to minister. If God is in it, then go ahead. Soul winning is not about crowd, it is about impact. The primary reason for Pentecost was for believers to become effective witnesses of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Pentecost was therefore designed for believers to receive power to become witnesses to God on a global scale To witness is to give evidence or be an evidence yourself, in this case proof of the resurrection of Jesus Christ in the lives of believers.  That is why the Holy Spirit was given to believers.

Jesus gave procedural instructions on how to bear witness of Him. First, from your home, in your community, nation and then on a global scale so that if you are effective witnesses at home, then you can succeed outside. To be an effective witness, your lifestyle should reflect the nature of Christ. The world out there does not see Jesus physically. They see Jesus through you (Acts Chapter 4 verse 13, John Chapter 1 verses 40 to 46). The world around you needs to see the character of Jesus in you. Your qualitative lifestyle – changed lifestyle in appearance, talk is a proof that Jesus is raised and is a tool for evangelism. There must be a clear difference in the behavior patterns of believers and unbelievers. We should live lives that other people can copy. What people want to see is the proof of your encounter with Christ (Romans Chapter 2 verse 24). It is one thing to proclaim the resurrection and another to reflect the glory of His resurrection. There must be a difference between a believer and an unbeliever in their lifestyles. This is what the Apostle Paul meant in 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 3 verses 1 to 3. Our lifestyles commend and recommend people to Christ. You are the Bible that those who have no access to the bible will ever read. Therefore, you must live the Christlike life. Jesus lived the life he preached and Jesus was teaching through His lifestyle. 1^st Corinthians Chapter 4 verse 16. Paul did not preach a single message. But the manner in which he handled the viper attack made the people refer to him as a god. Wherever you are, you are an open Bible that people need.

If your lifestyle does not support evangelism, then it is a blasphemy. As Christians, we are expected to live exemplary lifestyles that glorify God (Matthew Chapter 5 verse 14). Your lifestyle is the beginning of evangelism (Acts Chapter 1 verse 1). Some of us wear character masks (2^nd Thessalonians Chapter 3 verse 16). It is possible for a child of God to be a negative witness.

Pay Attention to Financial Abundance

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

What you pay attention to is what gives you direction. Reject every satanic suggestion, experiences, thoughts, imaginations, and ways of coping with lack. Rather, ask God for what you need and want instead of making do with what is available and run down, that ideally should be thrown away so that you get what works. Also, discard the lie of the devil that such times are periods of trials from the Lord when the devil is actually the one causing such lack in your life. Reject all these evils from the enemy, uproot and destroy them from your life and plant in God’s eternal structures of faithful provision and abundance in His word.  Please see Psalm 23, Deuteronomy Chapter 15 verse 6, 28 verses 11 to 13, 30 verse 9, 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verses 9, Colossians Chapter 2 verses 13 to 15.

The God who gives you the power to get wealth, to be a lender to the nations, who became poor so that you will become rich, who wiped away every handwriting of poverty concerning you and who promises severally to bless the work of your hands (Deuteronomy Chapter 24 verse 19, 23 verse 20, 16 verse 15, 15 verses 1 to 18, 14 verse 29) is not the one behind financial lack in your life. It is the devil and that devil and his cohorts stand and remain rebuked by God and His Word to you concerning financial abundance.

This is the time for you to experience and walk in financial abundance. However, you need to pay prime attention to financial abundance. This is because as you pay attention to financial abundance, you will be directed in the paths of financial abundance, taught the principles of financial abundance, given great grace to implement and you will become the owner of great financial abundance. Please see Romans Chapter 8 verse 14, 1^st John Chapter 5 verses 14 to 15, John Chapter 10 verse 10.

God is not the one opposing you in your journey to financial independence. It is the devil and his cohorts. Match them force for force and eliminate to dispossess them. God did not create you to be poor, in lack, in debt and borrowing to live. He created you to prosper, be wealthy and to be happy. Whatever then limits you from prospering is not of God, is satanic and should be destroyed completely in Jesus mighty name. Therefore, destroy every opposition on your path, dispossess them and move on to the land of promise. Whoever, whatever comes out to attack you on your way to the land of promise is not of God, has no power over you as God has stripped them of all power to hurt you. Therefore, strike hard, eliminate them, dispossess them and move on to the land of promise on your knees. If ever there was a time to pray it is now. Eliminate the opposition in prayers as the Apostle Paul did to the wild beasts of Ephesus. Uproot and destroy the strongholds of satanic financial lack.
