You Will Succeed

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You are a strong brand. You can make it. You can succeed. You are a billionaire. Therefore, sidestep the limitations. The truth is that you can actually turn the limitations, challenges, obstacles, what appear to be barriers into opportunities and stepping stones through what you do with your divine gifts. You can leverage these to succeed and make wealth.

You also have a great audience, the great props, advantages of the internet and great devices with which you should be in constant communication with the great audience God blessed you with. Beloved, it is time to rise out of slumber and COMMUNICATE. ENGAGE your audience in the different platforms you are known in. You can use social media platforms as e-retail shops, pulpits, information sharing hubs, networking and collaboration platforms from where you can direct people to your services and products, etc.

Acquire celebrity status if need be and use it to great  advantage as a designer, educationist, scientist, chef, writer, development person, Minister of the gospel and fashionista and whatever good name there is – stylist, clothes, jewelry or accessories line. The point being made is increase, make progress and stop looking for mentors and leaders when you should be mentoring and leading people.

It is ironic that you have been looking for mentors when in reality God created you a mentor and has painstakingly worked at making you a mentor. Pray that God would help you to be strong and fulfill purpose; and help you to stop the endless search for strong people, strong institutions and build your own strong and valuable brand given you from the foundation of the world in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Invest in YOU

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Thanks for visiting today. I pray that God will visit you and do you great good in Jesus mighty name. God bless you and meet you at your every point of need in Jesus mighty name. You are welcome and please do come again. Shalom.

One of the ways to invest in YOU is to ask empowering questions about YOU. For instance, who are YOU? Why are YOU on planet earth and what do YOU need to live the life God designed YOU to live on planet earth? Other such empowering questions should be, are YOU where YOU should be now in life and if not why are YOU where YOU are and not where YOU should? Additionally, what should YOU address urgently to be where YOU should be now? Beloved, advance your mental processes – stretch your imagination to all the possibilities YOU can think of as to who YOU are and where YOU should be NOW.

Abide in Jesus Christ as the Bible instructs in John Chapter 15 verses 4 to 8. When a believer in Christ Jesus abides in God, God also abides in Him and empowers him to bear much fruit. Fruit bearing is an outcome of God in a believer, family, Church, community and nations. The great working power of God in such people works to produce God’s desired results in them.  This explains why such people can ask for what they desire and it is granted to them.

Trust in God – Jeremiah Chapter 17 verses 7 to 8

Hope in God – Jeremiah Chapter 17 verses 7 to 8

Delight in the law of God – Psalm 1 verses 1 to 3

Meditate in the law day and night – Psalm 1 verses 1 to 3. As you meditate in the law day and night, your knowledge of the word deepens and your understanding expands to give you the wisdom you require to address and overcome any challenge. Meditation on the word of God helps to refine your mental processes to birth visions and dreams which lift you up far above your peers. Please read Psalm 113 verses 7 to 9, Psalm 119 verses 97 to 104, and 130.

LEARN MORE - Ecclesiastes Chapter 12 verses 9 to 14, Proverbs Chapter 1 verse 5. There is never an end to knowledge. The more knowledgeable you are the stronger you are as knowledge is both empowering ad enriching and elevating.  The biblical Joseph was elevated above his peers and the wise men of Egypt because he was more knowledgeable. Daniel was promoted above his peers because he was more knowledgeable. That reminds me of a dream I had sometimes last year. I dreamt that I went for a function with some friends. Rather than go in for the seminar on money making, I was busy with my friends eating and collecting freebies. What a shame to only discover that we missed out on the teaching on account of freebies. Someone then admonished me with the words LEARN MORE and I woke up at that point. Beloved, there is always a lot to learn. SEEK WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. Have a great desire for knowledge because knowledge is power. Knowledge empowers you to know and understand YOU, YOUR CALLING and the seasons and the times.

BREAK OUT OF OBSCURITY, the ash heap and dust positions of life by the godly choices you make in life. Refuse to be limited to obscurity and dust positions of life by your emotions. Obscurity and standing before unknown people who cannot give you any mileage in life is not really your portion in life. You deserve better and should be a city set on a hill standing before royalty and the wealthy and honorable.

Receive Strength 3

The very many and very dry bones in the valley speaks of despair and hopelessness experienced by the children of Israel. But when God instructed the prophet Ezekiel to prophesy and breathe His life, power and strength into the very many dry bones in the valley- valley representing the nadir of hopelessness and dry bones representing in the valley representing utter despair and hopelessness; yet these same bones became a mighty army that rose out of the valley.

You also can become a mighty army if only you take on the strength of the Lord offered freely to you today by the Holy Spirit.

The Bible records that Judas and Silas (prophets in the early Church who were sent to the Church in Antioch) exhorted and strengthened the brethren with many words. This implies that they spoke words which kindled hope and life and comfort and divine direction to the brethren. Like the prophet Isaiah, these New Testament also had the tongue of the learned (Isaiah Chapter 50 verses 4 to 5) and therefore spoke to the people in words and possibly tones taught by the Holy Spirit. Please read Malachi Chapter 2 verse 7. That probably explains why the brethren were strengthened.   Their words, definitely prophetic  brought edification, exhortation and comfort to the brethren as instructed by Scriptures in 1^st Corinthians Chapter 14 verses 3 to 5, 12, 19, 26; 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 13 verse 10, Ephesians Chapter 4 verses 11 to 16, 1^st Timothy 1 verse 3 and 1^st Thessalonians Chapter 5 verse 11. Words which inspire faith and also strengthen faith in keeping with the injunction of Scriptures to edify rather than condemn are words which bring strength to people. Please read Romans Chapter 10 verse 15, 14 verse 19, 15 verses 1 to 2,  Isaiah Chapters 52 verses 7 to 9, 61 verses 1 to 4, Luke Chapter 4 verses 17 to 19, Ephesians Chapter 4 verses 29 to 32, Colossians Chapter 4 verse 6.

Receive Strength 2

In Acts Chapter 3 verses 1 to 9, and 16,  note verse 7, the Bible records that the feet and ankle bones of the lame man received strength and the man who had never walked from birth leaped up, stood and walked and entered the temple with Peter and John, walking, leaping and praising God.

Beloved, God is awesome. This man was daily laid at the gate of the temple called Beautiful to ask for alms. So close to the temple yet he had never been inside of the temple. Daily, he saw people go into the temple to transact real business with God, worship God, ask God for forgiveness, cleansing, healing, deliverance, provision, promotion, wealth, favor, children, peace in their personal, family, community and national lives; academic excellence and prowess, military prowess and success, you name it; yet he had never seen the inside of the temple. He had never come close to transacting business with God yet God was so near, was with him, sitting by and with him all the time, waiting for him to transact quality business, real business with God but Mr. Lame from birth knew and understood only one business; unfortunately the business which did not move him from point A to B; but kept him stuck in a spot where he daily lived on and at the mercy of those whose hearts responded to his daily pleas for alms.

He lived for and on the mercy and compassion of people – without alms; he could probably never survive simply because there was no strength in his feet and ankle bones. His entire life was subject to the mercy and compassion of humans and knowing that humans are sometimes subject to fickle mindedness and vindictiveness, the man’s daily bread was not always guaranteed. So his mental processes were always fixated on alms; let someone bless me with, please forgive my choice of words – peanuts to go through today. That is just all that I need today. After all, I will be back here tomorrow and someone will give me what I need tomorrow.

Pathetic and tragic is the fact that his mental processes could not rise beyond asking for alms on a daily basis to survive each day. But all that came to an abrupt end when God through Jesus Christ working through the Holy Spirit in the Apostle Peter intervened in the situation.
