Succeed Through the Word

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap [their] hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign [that] shall not be cut off. Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 8 to 13 KJV

The word of God has creative abilities and capacities. These abilities are activated each time the Word of God is prophesied into a situation, our lives. To prophesy is poles apart from to proclaim or proclamation which is official declaration. To prophesy according to the OXFORD Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of English is to say what will happen in the future. However, because humans do not know or see the future except through the Word, it will be more accurate to say that prophesying is speaking the Word of God in the Bible into situations or he lives of people or your own life in order to activate the creative power in the Word of God. Please see Hebrews Chapter 11 verse 3, Romans Chapter 4 verse 17 and Ezekiel Chapter 37 verses 1 to 14.

The Word of God has power, great power to always accomplish what God purposes – Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 8 to 13. Scripture cannot be broken. Therefore when you have the Word of God you have everything you could ever need in life. This is because the Word of God in your heart, in your thought processes, imagination, your desires, and your likes will give you everything you want as long as they are within the will of God – Hebrews Chapter 11 verse 3.

Elijah had the Word of God – he prophesied rain after a long period of drought and there was a downpour on the same day. Peter had toiled all night yet at the Word of God released by Jesus Christ, Who is the Word of God, Peter let down his nets for a haul and the boat was full of fish. In both situations bordering on despair, the Word of God reversed the situations to joy, happiness, blessings of God and abundance. Drought and fruitless toils that characterize unsuccessful activities are not of God. The will of God is for His children to enjoy fruitfulness, rain of blessings, success and abundance.

You Are a Success Story

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You are a success story waiting to be celebrated. But the waiting period does not have to be long. They can be tremendously shortened if only you will allow God to jump start you with His divine potentials and deposits inside of you. God deposited greatness and resounding success inside of you. But you need to discover them and surrender them to God. The seed for the tree is inside the tree. Find the seed that is inside the tree. It is your responsibility to identify and dig it out – Genesis Chapter 1 verse 12. God wants to use what is in your hand.  Look for what is in your hand. God will show you what you need to turn your life around. You can live a life of daily successes manifested in diverse miracles, signs and wonders if we make a true inventory of our potentials, find them and put them down. God wants you to make an inventory of the potentials in you. Within every human being are miracles, potentials waiting to be untapped. They are in there and may not even show an outward sign. If God could send Moses with a shepherd stick to Pharaoh, a global leader of his day, it means that God does not take account of your abilities. He only sees your possibilities.

There are special callings and purposes waiting inside of you to be discovered and used for God’s glory. However, what God will use that belongs to you must be surrendered to Him so that it can be used the way He wants you to use it. This is because whatever is surrendered to God automatically becomes the rod of God even as the rod of Moses became the rod of God. But it must first be given to God by casting it on the ground. The Apostle Paul learnt something from God when he was faced with insurmountable challenges – 1^st Corinthians 12 verse 9. He realized that grace is given to accomplish great things. This means that what you consider a seeming limited ability can accomplish great things if surrendered to God so that the grace of God takes over. Significantly, it is only when it is surrendered that grace is given to it – Exodus Chapter 3 verse 5. Holy ground is where God is. Therefore, anything you lay on holy ground is empowered by the Holy Ghost. God can use what you surrender to Him to revolutionize your life.  What is not surrendered remains lifeless and unproductive.
