An Idea Is an Empire

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

An idea is usually intangible. It starts as a thought and grows as an expanded thought. This implies that ideas are thoughts expanded through creative but strategic thinking processes. Such processes should ideally be dependent on the Holy Spirit. Thoughts expanded to ideas create with the word of God birthing businesses, scientific inventions and what have you.  This is to say that ideas which originated as a thought (s) in the hearts of men and women over time expanded to the institutions, technologies, innovations, fashion etc that bless humanity today. Therefore, think more, process thoughts, ideas, evaluate and reevaluate them, including the jobs at hand to see how you can convert them to empires. Review what you do, what has been done and how it can be improved upon to grow beyond what it is now to the empire God designed it to be from the foundation of the world.

Everything God created is designed to multiply because embedded in every creation of God is the capacity for fruitfulness. Even nature teaches us that fruitfulness leads to multiplication and in some cases compounding. In like manner, an idea that is well thought out; implemented in the right place, at the right time and with the right people definitely turns out right, blooms and flourishes beyond the original implantation stage to become an empire.

Be Enthusiastic About Making Money

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Money puts food on the table. Goodwill does not. Money pays the rent and utility bills. Goodwill does not. Money gives a good education. Goodwill does not. Therefore, work for money and not goodwill. Making money is not a sin. Abraham made money. Isaac made money. Jacob made money. Joseph made money. Nehemiah made money.

Jesus demonstrated the significance of making money and money management in the parables of the talents and the prodigal son. The Bible in both the old and new testaments supports money making and celebrates wealthy men and women such as Abraham, Isaac, Boaz, Job, Joseph of Arimathea, King Solomon, the virtuous woman described in Proverbs Chapter 31, King David and many others.  God is not against money making. What the Bible condemns is the love of money, greed and mammon worship, fraudulent means of making money like lying, cheating, duping other people of their hard earned money, bribery and robbery.

The virtuous woman described in Proverbs Chapter 31 made so much money from the work of her hands that she was able to buy land even in her days when there was so much gender discrimination. Even the skilled artisans mentioned in the Bible who received creative abilities in designing from God and who worked in the designing of the tabernacle in Exodus Chapter 36 and in the temple in 1^st Kings were handsomely remunerated.

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.

Wealthier than the Palms

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The palm tree with its several varieties is said to one of the richest trees. This is because of the several uses to which about every part of the tree can be put to. The palm tree has multiple uses; it is used for making brooms, baskets, mats, brushes, etc.   Every part of the palm tree is useful as nothing is wasted. The fruit which is noted for its sweetness also has many uses. 

There are over two thousand species of the palm tree but in this context, the date palm will be used. The palm tree has an average size of forty to fifty feet. The very tall ones get to a hundred feet and last for hundreds of years, say about four hundred years. The palm tree is noted for its hidden life – no amount of tampering destroys it. This speaks of stability and durability.  It is also not easy to uproot a palm tree. This is because it has a deep tap root that travels down for nourishment which explains why it is usually not affected by drought except in very severe cases of drought.  The root of the palm tree is deep and goes deep into the soil until it strikes the spring of water and then feeds the entire tree with water therefore making the tree fruitful. The palm tree is thus evergreen, always fresh and beautiful. You can also have such eternal freshness in Jesus mighty name, daily blossoming, bearing fruit and attractive. Please see Psalm 92 verse 12, Psalm 125 verse 1 and Psalm 1 verse 3. This also speaks of continuity in fruit bearing meaning that your life becomes sweeter each day in Jesus mighty name. Fatness refers to wealth, prosperity and riches while flourishing refers to spontaneous and luxurious growth.

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.

Run Your Race

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Some people make the news while some others report the news. Yet there are many people who neither make the news nor report the news. They are usually content to stay in the sidelines, just watching the world go by, never commenting, never making suggestions or even criticizing. Such people are actually spectators in the race of life including the races they are supposed to run in life but which they either consciously or unconsciously refuse to run; choosing to be impassive spectators. Beloved, you cannot afford to be a spectator in your race. If you watch others and do not run your race, how on earth do you get to destination, especially if your destination is the top?

David for instance was ordained by God to become King in Israel even when King Saul was still on the throne and was grooming his son Jonathan to inherit the throne. Yet, David ran his race. He did not watch as an impassive spectator. He brought Goliath down and ended the intimation and oppression of Israel by the Philistines through Goliath’s taunts and boasts. That earned him respect and great admiration by the people of Israel. Twice, David was opportune to hack down King Saul to smithereens yet David chose to do that which was honorable. He did not lay his hands on the Lord’s anointed. But when the Amalekites attempted to bring sorrow to David and his men after they burned down Ziklag and took the women and children captive, David ran an extremely competitive race. Tired, weary and to some extent uncertain of what lay ahead, David enquired of the Lord what next steps to take. Guided by the Lord, David outran the Amalekites and recovered all that they had attempted to steal from him.

Severally, the enemy attempts to steal and could actually succeed if you act as an impassive spectator in the race of life. But if you get on your knees and respond to the blast of the gun to begin the race, you definitely can by the Spirit of God outrun the enemy no matter how far he has gone. So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. Isaiah Chapter 59 verse 19.

Therefore, Stop looking at people running their own race (1^st Corinthians Chapter 9 verses 24 to 27, 2^nd Timothy Chapter 4 verses 6 to 8, Philemon Chapter 1 verse 6) because you will succeed just as David succeeded.
