Move Up Higher

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

When God called Abraham, God blessed Abraham alongside his wife Sarah and blessed him and increased him. He became the father of many nations and increased on all sides, spiritually, physically, mentally, materially and financially. Please read Genesis Chapters 12 verses 1 to 9, 13 verses 1 to 4, 24 verses 34 to 35, 12 verses 10 to 16 and 20 verses 1 to 8.

Divine enlargement is progressive – Proverbs Chapter 4 verse 18, Genesis Chapter 26 verses 12 to 14; righteous life, patience, diligence (smart and hard work), Genesis Chapter 29 verses 15 to end, 30 verses 1 to 31, 32, 33. See also Psalm 115 verses 12 to 14, 80 verses 9 to 11. Increase, progressive increase is of God. The will of God is for you to grow from one level of grace, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, parenting, marital relations, and financial, spiritual, physical, mental and material increase to another. That is why the word of God says that the glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former. Please read Haggai Chapter 2 verse 9; and that the path of the righteous is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day (Proverbs Chapter 4 verse 18).

Beloved, you have not seen your best days yet. The glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former. Please see Haggai Chapter 2 verse 9. Therefore, do not relax on your oars. Get moving towards the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Please see Philippians Chapter 3 verses 12 to 14. Move up higher, beyond what you think is the core of success but which is actually just the beginning of success, in point of fact, baby steps to success.

This is just the beginning. You have not seen your best days yet, your great victories yet. There is so much more to come. Real success is ahead, waiting patiently for you. But you must be willing to move beyond the present successes you are dancing around so that you can get to the pinnacle of success. No seasoned fisherman who fishes for sharks goes fishing in a lake just as no seeker of diamonds looks for them in a cassava farm. Stop looking for diamonds where you are presently. Seek diamonds where they can be found. Therefore, take the required leap of faith which you urgently require to move higher into the plans and purposes of God for your life.

Paint the Future

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The future is not an unnamed date; set far away from you by billions and zillions of seconds and minutes. It is not in hundreds, thousands and millions of days which appear far away from you; probably hiding in the stratosphere. Beloved, the future is TODAY, in point of fact, NOW.

The future is therefore what you draw or paint into the beautiful canvass which is either sitting or standing in front of your right now. The future is NOW; THE THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS AS WELL AS RELATIONSHIPS WHICH YOU PLANT INTO IT NOW; and not tomorrow or a later date which you assume or hope will not show up soon.

The future is NOW; asking you to take a quality decision, act positively in the light of the truth of the word of God which you know. Please read Jeremiah Chapter 29 verse 11. The future is NOW; asking you to seek knowledge to break down and destroy the mountains of ignorance holding you down.

The future is NOW; asking you to forget an unproductive past which is weighing you down spiritually, mentally and to an extent physically so that you can focus on the great and new things which God wants to do in your life. Please read Isaiah Chapter 43 verse 19.

The future is NOW; asking you to kill procrastination, and laziness as well as giving of excuses so that you can be productive; to fruit and multiply into abundance.

Allow God to Fight for You

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God fights because He is Jehovah the Man of war, the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle.  God fights in diverse ways through elements of creation, with the sword of His mouth – Revelation Chapters 2 verse 16, 1 verse 10, 2 verse 12, 11 verses 3 to 6, Significantly, God has numerous weapons at His disposal. He therefore deploys whichever best suits His purpose. After all, He is the Creator and Owner of everything created. Please read Genesis Chapter 1. Before anything existed, the Word had already existed alongside God because the Word is God; the Creator of everything that exist and will ever exist.

Importantly, God has a beautiful and unparalleled history of always fighting victoriously for His own. He fought for Abraham over seemingly powerful kings of his day who took Sarah away from him. Please Genesis Chapters 12 from verses 10 to 20 and 20. Please read Exodus Chapters 15 verse 3: 14 verses 13 to 14, 23 to 41, for in depth details of how God overthrew Pharaoh, his army and chariots in the red sea;  Psalm 24 verse 8, Joshua Chapters 10 verses 1 to 43, 11 verse 20 of how God fought for the Israelites against the nations who attempted to stop their progress to Canaan; 1^st Samuel Chapters 5 verses 1 to 12, 6 of how God afflicted the people of Ashdod, Gath and Ekron with tumors for receiving and hosting the Ark of God. Some of the people even died. It was only after they returned the Ark with trespass offerings that they were free. Even the men of Beth Shemesh, fifty thousand and seven of them were struck down because they dared to look into the Ark of the Lord, an act of great irreverence as they had no business whatsoever looking into the Ark of God. 

The Bible records that God thundered against the Philistine army from heaven, confused them because they rose against Israel while Samuel was offering burnt offerings for Israel. The Philistines were consequently overcome by the Israelites and were subdued to the point where they had to restore occupied cities to Israel. They also stayed away from Israel. Please read 1^st Samuel Chapter 7 verses 6 to 14. God also empowered David, an unschooled warrior to kill an experienced giant warrior like Goliath. Please read 1^st Samuel Chapter 17 for details.
