God is Good

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Goodness is a cardinal nature of God and His character. Please see Psalm 34 verse 8 and Romans Chapter 8 verse 28. God is good and causes all things through providence to work together for good to His children just so that His children accomplish divine purposes. This implies that some seeming negative experiences are actually stepping stones that enable you to stretch your potentials and become a blessing to humanity. Some difficult tests in different aspects of life are also designed to prepare and transform you until you become who and what God planned for you from the foundation of the world. Therefore, capitalize on and take advantage of both the challenges that assail you and the opportunities that show up through the challenges as they engender transformation. Please see Jeremiah Chapter 29 verse 11.

Do not give up or give in as capitulating will truncate the transformation process and you will never arrive at the desired destination. The Master of the universe is in perfect control of everything in the universe. He knows how to reverse everything for your sake. Israel went to Egypt for bread but when they left, they had an abundance of silver and gold. Please see Exodus Chapter 12 verse 31, Proverbs Chapter 3 verses 5 to 8.

In point of fact, if you can see the mind of God concerning you, you will be too amazed to ever think that God does not care about you. In fact, you will be trumpeting God’s goodness globally. Open your mouth and declare God’s faithfulness in your life. God is still faithful. He does not change. God can still furnish a table in the wilderness. He can change your situation suddenly. He can do much more than you could ever ask. It is not about what people can do but what God can do.

Steps to Greatness

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Everyone born of God is destined for greatness. The Bible is replete with regular people who received incredible greatness based on their relationship with God. Abraham became great and the father of nations on account of his relationship with God. King David attained greatness from being committed and faithful to God. King Solomon surrendered it all to God and was the greatest King of his time.

Even in history and contemporary times, we daily read about regular people like you and I who became great because God made them great. That same God, Jehovah, the El-Shaddai to whom all power belong is still in the business of making people great and you can be the next in line for divine greatness. Some of the ways in which you can become great by the help of God include but are not limited to:

Be careful what you watch, what you listen to and what you read as all these have a way of impacting mental processes. If you spend time reading about, listening to or watching videos on impossibilities, chances are you will think that there are always impossibilities on every step of the way. So like the lazy man described in the book of Proverbs, you will always see fierce lions in the streets and refuse to take the bull by the horn.

The Dynamics of Success

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans Chapter 8 verse 14.

God is the one who makes a person great. God has control of the universe in his hands. Romans Chapter 6 verse 14. The ability to be blessed comes from God. It is not hard work alone. Therefore, you must have absolute belief and dependence on God, the only One Who gives and guarantees sustainable success. God is the One Who gave Joseph resounding success in Egypt; Daniel a long reign of success in Babylon. Please see Genesis Chapter 41 and Daniel Chapters 2, 5 and 6. Combine this with absolute belief in the miracle working power of God to make impossibilities possible and you are a great success any day.

You should have absolute belief and confidence in the word of God to prosper in your life and create positive turnaround and transformation for everyone to see. Please see Isaiah Chapter 55 verses. When God is about to do great miracles, He grants His servants spectacular revelation. The original truth of the word of God which says you are fruitful is the word of God and that truth has overtaken every lie of the devil in your life.

Allow God to guide you because the divine paths of God always lead to resounding success and abundance. Please see Isaiah Chapter 48 verse 17. Blessings should have a righteous foundation and should be generationally sustainable. You do not get blessed by crooked means. Choose to trust Him and you will be blessed and transformed to who God created you to be, successful, wealthy, abundant, loving, compassionate, forgiving, generous, friendly, gracious, beautiful.

Be Strategic

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Do not expend energies running in wide circles that lead nowhere. Focus on a destination and decide on the best, fastest but godly and safest route to get there; right on time; God’s time. This calls for divine guidance from God. This also presupposes that you have ascertained the specified destination from God; therefore you know where you are headed but require a strategic roadmap.

Be strategically positioned in or at a location where people can easily access you. For instance, a hill is a conspicuous place, a vantage point because people can see what is on the hill. This is to say that you have to be rightly positioned where people can see you and reach you. Accessibility is therefore important – people should be able to see you.

Give empowering gifts. Empowering gifts empower people to become who God created them to be, enable them to achieve divine destinies. Therefore, you should love and enjoy teaching people to do things right.

The responsibility of a Christian is to solve problems for humanity and not only cater for his or her family’s needs. Joseph did. Daniel did. Esther did. Nehemiah did. So also are many historical and contemporary people that you have either heard about, read about, watched videos of and have even seen. The problems they solved moved them up in the ladder of life and wealth. The choice is yours. God has a place for you in the kingdom. Know exactly what to do and how to do it.

Develop your craft. Challenge the area of your limitation. Creative people always find ways to transcend the limits put on them. Learn if you have to learn and ensure you learn the right things.

The Overtakers Unction

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The race is neither to the swift nor to the strong. Please see Ecclesiastes Chapter 9 verse 11, Romans Chapter 9 verses 15 to 16. The overtakers unction is predicated on obedience; in particular, prompt, willing and loving obedience to and for God. Elijah who ran on foot was able to outrun and overtake Ahab who rode on a chariot because Elijah was obedient to God. That explains why the hand of God came upon Elijah to outrun and overtake Ahab who rode on a chariot. The question then is how did Elijah obey God? In verse 1, God instructed Elijah to go show himself to Ahab and inform Ahab that God was going to send rain on the earth. Considering what had transpired between Ahab and Elisha in addition to the fact that the land had not experienced even a shower not to talk of rain in about three years, it was quite a tall order and scary task for Elijah to go tell Ahab that God was sending rain. Despite the risks, Elijah presented himself to Ahab, significantly not to immediately announce the rain but to initiate divine processes that would lead to the downpour. In the process, a good number of the prophets of Baal and Asherah, about eight hundred were executed. But more important, Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord and then announced rain. While Ahab went feasting, Elijah stayed with God, bowed in intercession until there was a cloud. As Ahab scampered home in his chariot, Elijah attempted to run as fast as his legs would carry him. But the ever loving God Whom Elijah obeyed and served lovingly intervened. Elijah not only outran and overtook Ahab: not a single drop of rain touched him. The rewards of obedience, you may say.

Do Not Live a Lie

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Be truthful to yourself and other people in all that you do. God respects and honors people who are truthful. This is because truthful people can be trusted and depended on. You live a lie when you talk and act contrary to the image you present whether in private or in public. You also live a lie when you double speak especially when you claim to be a Christian. You live a lie when you try to impress people with borrowed resources just to prove a point that you are financially comfortable when in truth you lack.

You live a lie when you pretend to have a perfect marital relationship when in reality you live poles apart with your spouse even in the same bedroom and house. You do not speak to each other; do not express any form of intimacy and love. You live a lie when you borrow resources to send your children to supposedly exclusive schools so that you can be classed as rich or wealthy and then you pay unfortunately; albeit expensively for this lie in health issues that are a result of these lies.

You live a lie when you pretend to be a very nice generous and forgiving person in public especially in Church and your workplace while you are a terror at home to your spouse and children. Neither your spouse nor your children can access you or even discuss anything with you because you growl at the mere sight of them, use invectives that even members of the kingdom of darkness do not use on members of their family; and then you go further to pronounce curses on them. Beloved, it is time to repent.
