Perfect conditions do not exist anywhere. That is why princes and princesses marry non royalty. Therefore, take advantage of the opportunities at your disposal to create your supposed perfect conditions.

Spend quality time with knowledgeable and open minded people. Apart from the benefit of learning from them, their open mindedness’ to new ideas will give a boost to your ideas. Knowledgeable people are also secure people who are not intimidated by the success of other people. They are people you need in your journey to share your ideas, successes and challenges with. They will encourage and most often give you great counsel if they understand the dynamics of the industry you are in. You need them.

Avoid people who are stuck in a rut – people who hold on to established ways of doing things that yield zero and negative results.

Avoid people who are fiercely opposed to new ideas. This is because they never see good in the new things that are happening and bringing about transformation in the lives of people and businesses. Do not partner with them whether in business or ministry.

Avoid people who always feel intimidated and insecure when their authority is challenged because new ideas are proposed.

Command Respect and Authority

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God made man to rule. As a priest, you serve but as a king you rule. Please see Genesis Chapter 1 verse 28. One of the most instruments a king needs to rule is the ability to make decrees to rule (Proverbs Chapter 8 verse 15). Decrees on the other hand are made with words (Ecclesiastes Chapter 8 verse 4). The word power means the ability to produce and effect results. The moment a king’s word loses the effect; the king loses his throne. If a king’s word cannot move his subjects, he has lost his throne.

God created you to rule. As a child of God, when you speak, something must happen. Where the word of a king is there is power (Ecclesiastes Chapter 8 verse 4). This power is the ability to affect people to get the outcomes you want from them.  For your words to make things happen, you must be flexible in His hands. You should be like the clay in the potter’s hands. Please see Matthew Chapter 4 verses 19 to 25. How flexible are you in His hands? The only person that has the power to make you is the person you follow. True discipleship in Christ Jesus confers ownership and ruler ship of resources as one is divinely aligned with the king of kings, Lord of lords and the true owner and Ruler of all resources. When you progress to true discipleship in Christ, everything becomes yours and everything is added to you. That is why the process of becoming a true disciple is much more important and critical than seeking for bread. Multitudes followed Jesus for the bread but the disciples followed Him for a change because that change was necessary. Following just for bread does not empower you to rule. Therefore, seek first the kingdom of God because if you are genuinely following Him, things will follow you.

The Church should be stronger than what she is presently if only believers follow Him for who He is and not things. The Church should learn to fish and own the pond rather than asking for fish. Believers should be taught both how to fish and how to own the ponds so their fishing enterprises are sustainable. That way, they will have the mind of Christ through discipleship and ultimately always supersede the devil by introducing the mind of Christ and not fighting him.

For instance, the lion roared against Samson to stop him but Samson killed the lion. Beloved, you are also divinely capacitated to roar back at any lion that roars against you by decreeing the judgment of God against such lions.  You will tear the lions with your decrees in Jesus mighty name. You have entered the season in your life when every word you speak must produce an effect so that you can rule effectively in the midst of your enemies.

Every time Jesus Christ spoke, all of creation obeyed. Jesus spoke what had to come to pass in spite of all contradictory evidences. Please see Luke Chapter 5 verses 1 to 10, John Chapter 21 verses 5 to 11, Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 8 to 13. You can command respect and authority if you have great divine communication skills. Speak as God speaks and you command respect and authority. Speak where God wants you to speak and speak what God wants you to speak. There is a way to issue commands and they are immediately carried out. There is a way to ask questions and you get answers. There is a way to make requests and get the requests approved and granted.

Wait for God

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God promotes to show forth His glory in life. He does not need to consult anyone to promote you. Promotions are orchestrated by God and there is a due time for God’s promotion (Habakkuk Chapter 2 verses 2 to 3). God has His own timing for everyone (Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 verse 11).  Beloved, it is just a matter of time. I see God bringing you to His rest for you in every area of your life – marriage, financial, spiritual. You will move from glory to glory in Jesus mighty name.

Joseph’s case is a classic case study of exponential divine promotion which is usually beyond human imagination. The king sent for him. He did not seek to see Pharaoh. Joseph had no status, no background that could have made it possible for him to see Pharaoh yet God orchestrated the meeting by creating a need that only Joseph could meet in the heart and life of Pharaoh. Only God decides who occupies positions of high authority and greatness and it can be exponential and can happen suddenly. Please see Genesis Chapter 41, 1st Samuel Chapter 2 verse 8.

God had a plan for Joseph’s life though hatred made his brothers attempt to kill him and in the end, they sold him into slavery. If Joseph had remained with his father, he would not have succeeded. Also, he could not manage his thought processes and always said things as they were. He was not diplomatic and discreet. He shared openly his dreams. Please see Chapter 37 verses 2 to 11.  For Joseph to make it in life, he had to shed being Daddy’s boy (Genesis Chapter 39 verse 4, John Chapter 12 verse 24).   Joseph was served at home but in Egypt he learnt to serve. The place of service is the place of training. As Joseph served, he was made General Overseer, learning administrative skills that became necessary as the Prime Minister of Egypt. Joseph was also trained to be more diplomatic and discreet. His choice and use of language at the time he stood before Pharaoh to interpret Pharaoh’s dream are clear indications of his spiritual and mental development.

God was perfecting Joseph in the place of interpreting dreams. He depended on God for the interpretation of the dreams. Please see Genesis Chapter 41 verse 14. What you do not perfect you cannot handle. Some of the assignments you are assigned are actually designed for your promotion. God does not promote lazy people. You limit the life of a person when you encourage shortcuts. What you do not pay a price for, you do not value. If you refuse to manage challenges so that they become stepping stones, you are likely to perceive challenges as uphill tasks that should be avoided at all costs. As Joseph remained under the tutelage of God, he made progress. Please see Genesis Chapter 47 verse 20.

God cannot Fail

God cannot fail. He is not like man who is incapable of honoring his word on account of circumstances he cannot control. He is God the El-Shaddai and can do exceedingly abundantly above all that you could ever ask or think of.

Severally, the enemy likes to give impression that God fails and He will always or sometimes fail us. But the truth is that God does not fail, cannot fail and will not fail. To start with, God is Almighty. He created everything and everything submits to Him. Please see Genesis Chapter 1, Colossians Chapter 2 verses 9 to 11. Secondly, all power belongs to Him (Psalm 62 verse 11, Deuteronomy Chapter 32 verse 39, 1^st Samuel Chapter 2 verses 6 to 10, Joshua Chapter 10 verses 12 to 13, Isaiah Chapter 38 verses 7 to 8, Exodus Chapter 14 verses 13 to 31, Joshua Chapter 3 verses 1 to 17, Ezekiel Chapter 37, John Chapter 11, Isaiah Chapter 45 verses 7 and Psalm 147 verse 5.

God can do practically everything except evil. Nobody can challenge His power or authority. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a clear demonstration of the power of God. Despite all that the enemy did to ensure that Jesus Christ would not rise (Matthew Chapter 27 verses 63 to 66, Romans Chapter 8 verse 11, Ephesians Chapter 1 verses 19 to 23), Jesus did rise from the grave, over death and hell, victorious.

Thirdly, God cannot fail because He honors His word. He does not make empty promises. When God makes a promise, He keeps the promise irrespective of what the circumstances are. Please see Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 8 to 13. He promised a son to Abraham through Sarah who was well past the age of child bearing. At the appointed time, Sarah gave birth to Isaac (Genesis Chapter 18 verses 9 to 15, 21 verses 1 to 3, Hebrews Chapter 11 verse 11, and Romans Chapter 4 verses 17 to 21).

Created to Succeed 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

In the book of Luke Chapter 10 verse 19, the Bible records that God has given authority to His children to trample on snakes and scorpions and all the power of the enemy and that none of the power of the enemy can hurt the children of God. Fantastic! But why would God make such a promise? He created you to succeed. If He created you to fail, He will not give you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and all the power of the enemy which represent the various challenges in life that make you want to throw in the towel, give up and opt for failure.

Beloved, you are divinely designed to succeed. Therefore, unpack and throw out the devil’s filthy garments of failure comprising all the lies he has whispered to you as to why you should fail. They are lies because he did not create you. Secondly, those lies are designed to make you turn against God so that you walk in opposition to the Person Who created you to succeed and is the only One can help you succeed.
