Unravel the Greatness Within to Succeed

Witten by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You are born great and you are greatly blessed. Before God created you, He put everything you would need in place. You were deliberately created to be great. That is why you are created in the image of God. You are not a biological accident. You were designed from the very foundation of the world to be great and everything you would need to achieve the greatness; both internal and external were put in place by God for you. Please see John Chapter 10 verse 34, Psalm 8.

The internal requirements are the innate possibilities deposited in you by God and they are within you for you to discover, develop and enhance to high accent for success in every area of your life. It does not have to be a great gift for God to use it in a great way.

God is the God of possibilities. There is something within you that God can use. There are innate possibilities within you that you can build on through shared information. What do you have that God can use? Believe God for the impossible because with God all things are possible. The things you feel are a disadvantage to you are things that God wants to use to magnify you. Therefore, do not doctor your resume, your status, etc. what God has planned for you is specific to you – 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 10 verses 12 and will come to full manifestation and success with what is within you.

Do Not Excuse Your Destiny Away

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

People who give excuses at all times never admit their weaknesses; do not accept responsibility for their misdeeds and failures. Rather than acknowledge their misdeeds, sins and repent, they give excuses; play the blame game, blaming other people for their misdeeds, sins and failures.

Adam disobeyed God, ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and rather than acknowledge and accept his sin against God, he passed the blame to his wife who gave him the fruit to eat. The one billion dollar question is – could he not have said no to Eve because he did not want to disobey God? Eve on the other hand also played the blame game and passed on the blame to the serpent. Unfortunately, God does not condone blame games and refusal to acknowledge sin and acceptance for wrong behavior. He judged all three of them, Adam, Eve and the serpent. Please see Genesis Chapter 3 for details.

King Saul of Israel also attempted to play the blame game. Rather than acknowledge his sin and disobedience, he blamed his actions on pressures from the people. God judged him immediately. Please see 1^st Samuel Chapter 15 verses 1 to 30, 13 verses 1 to 14. Compared to David, Saul never acknowledged his sin and even when he did, he preferred the honor of his people to publicly repenting before God (1^st Samuel Chapter 15 verse 30). David on the other hand acknowledged his sins and asked for mercy and forgiveness from God. When confronted by Nathan, David acknowledged his sin and asked God for mercy. Please see 2^nd Samuel Chapter 12 verses 1 to 15. God forgave David when he acknowledged his sin and repented. Also, when David numbered the people of Israel against the will of God, God sent Gad to tell David what he had done and David acknowledged his sin, repented   and even begged God to heap the consequences of the sin on him and not the people (1^st Chronicles Chapter 21 verses 1 to 19).

The Role of Excellent Communication Skills in Brand Enhancement

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Excellent communication skills open doors of abundance, influence, position, power and authority to people who have learnt to communicate excellently whether verbally or written or even through body language. Excellent communication skills are a total package comprising your choice of diction, tone, posture, grooming and dressence. All of these take constant practice as well as conscious effort to implement and improve upon what has been practiced. It is neither a one off activity nor a sprint.

Nabal is described as a very successful business man who had acquired considerable wealth and was referred to as very rich. Additionally, he was married to a very beautiful woman described as someone of good understanding. Despite all these successes, Nabal lacked communication skills and was consequently described as harsh and evil in his doings. Please see 1^st Samuel Chapter 25.

His caustic and very demeaning response to the messengers of David over a simple request to let them partake of his feast from the shearing activity attest to the fact that he had absolutely no communication skills. How? A polite no to their request would have been okay rather than the invectives on David who he referred to as not only a servant but a breakaway servant from his master and concluded that he would not share his food with men he did not know where they were from.

David was infuriated when his men reported back Nabal’s unguarded speech and embarked on a revenge mission that would have wiped out Nabal and his entire household but for the timely intervention of Abigail, Nabal’s very beautiful wife.
