Nestle in His Love

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God is still in the business of making impossibilities possibilities. Please see Luke Chapter 1 verse 37, Mark Chapter 10 verse 27, Jeremiah Chapter 32 verse 27, 17, Daniel Chapter 2, Esther Chapter 7, Exodus Chapter 14, Ephesians Chapter 3 verse 20, Luke Chapter 18 verse 27, Psalm 62 verse 12. Hard work and being smart is not always the answer. The answer is in God for the race is neither to the strong nor to the swift.

God never fails. He always shows up in the nick of time. God has seen your tears and your tears have broken the gates of brass. God is sending help now. Stand still and see the salvation of the LORD. You just stepped into God’s divine PURPOSE for your life.

God will overwhelm you. He is a winner any day any time. Every sign of defeat is an indication that you are not with God because God is always with you. Besides, God has set before you an open door and no one can shut.  Please see Revelation Chapter 3 verse 8, Lamentations Chapter 3 verse 37 and 1^st John Chapter 5 verses 14 to 15.

Keep your mouth shut. God Knows Everything. Nothing can terrify God. You should not be in a hurry to jump out of God’s hand, plans and purposes.  Joseph endured the pit, Potiphar’s house and prison before the prestigious Ps of palace and Prime Minister.

Proceed to Destination

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

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.

Do Not Lose Momentum

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Do not lose momentum of what God started in your life, business, career, academics, finances, marriage, home, health and whatever it is you do. Consolidate on what has been done. There is a constituency out there, a huge one that is in need of a listening ear; wants real interaction, and not the publicity stunt and fame people are looking for in the name of ministry, business and what have you.

What is momentum? According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, momentum means

• ·         : the strength or force that something has when it is moving

·      : the strength or force that allows something to continue or to grow stronger or faster as time passes

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/momentum

What does it mean to have momentum?  How did you get to the point of momentum and what do you do with whatever momentum you have? What does it take not to lose momentum? To have gained momentum implies that you are already unto something, you are going somewhere, you are doing something that is gaining ground progressively. Some level of commitment, diligence and determination coupled with the grace of God got you to where you are now. However, pressures, perhaps limited knowledge and understanding of how to progress beyond where you are now is making you consider giving up and jumping on to something else. Beloved, no one makes progress by jumping from one unfinished business to the other without ever thinking of how to complete each one that was already started. Working that way is about the fastest way to lose momentum. 

Your Hope is Not Lost

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Hope is lost when you give up. But when you do not give up, you will always have hope. As long as you are born again, your hope cannot be lost. Ecclesiastes Chapter 9 verse 4. As long as you are a child of God, you can never get to the point of hopelessness. Please see Romans Chapter 4 verses 19 to 22. Therefore, keep hope alive because hope is what strengthens faith. Your hope is raw material for change.

Abraham disregarded the contrary opinions and reports though facts and chose to believe the word of God. The facts should therefore never overwrite the truth. Rather, the truth of the Word of God should always overwrite the facts no matter how strong the facts appear. Please see Zechariah Chapter 8 verse 12, Ezekiel Chapter 36 verses 29 to 30.

God will always come through. His word always comes through. His word always comes to pass no matter how long it appears. Therefore, anchor your faith and trust in the word of God. Anytime God wants to do the impossible, He sends His word. God knows your location, your specifications, your desires, and your needs. There is never an error message with Him. Mary yielded to the word of God – Luke Chapter 1 verse 38, Romans Chapter 4 verses 19 to 20. Wait and trust on the promises of God rather than run helter, skelter and end up with spiritualists. Believe the simplicity of the word of God rather than the carefully orchestrated manipulations of people. 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7.Walk in the truth of God’s word and live in the consciousness of the truth. It is the truth of the word of God that will give you the victory you need in every area of life.

Mind Your Business

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Know your sheep by name: carefully attend to your flocks; (Don’t take them for granted; possessions don’t last forever, you know) and then, when the crops are in and the harvest is stored in the barns, you can knit sweaters from lamb’s wool, and sell your goats for a profit; there will be plenty of milk and meat to last your family through the winter. Proverbs Chapter 27 verses 23 to 27, Message Translation

Pay attention to your fields, which is MIND YOUR BUSINESS. It is not the fields of other people that you pay attention to that will yield their strength to you. It is your fields that you mind and pay attention to that will yield their strength to you. Therefore, do not leave your fields fallow and unattended to while you mind the fields of other people. Mind your fields and pay attention to the details of your fields.  You can actually enhance your brand by minding your fields and paying attention to the details of your fields.

In Proverbs Chapter 12 verse 11, the Bible refers to the person who follows frivolity as a person devoid of understanding while a person who tills his or her land will have plenty of bread. This is further reiterated in Proverbs Chapter 28 verse 19 (plenty of bread for land tillers and poverty for those who follow frivolity).

Supersede Expectations

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You can supersede expectations, the expectations of people, your industry as well as the expectations you set for yourself if only you will look up to God for help to direct you in as many ways as you require help. God is always in the business of teaching His children to profit. Please see Isaiah Chapter 48 verse 17. As He instructs you in the way to go, I advise that you internalize His counsel and work with them. Nevertheless, here are some tips on how to supersede expectations gleaned from time spent with the Holy Spirit.

You can supersede expectations by looking after your field and exercising dominion in your field. The question then is what does it take to exercise dominion in your field? By knowing your field perfectly - for instance, get to know what goes on in your field as well as what needs to be done differently. Be sufficiently informed about your field so that you have superior knowledge that will make you superior to other people in your field. Do not be monotonous and therefore easily predictable. Learn something new and add to what you already know. That will help you to innovate on what is happening in your field as well as help you remain in the field. You will not then move from your field because it is happening in other fields. Rather, you will succeed and make an impact in that field based on your understanding of who you are and what you are capable of doing, knowing that other peoples fields are not your God given field for you to exercise dominion. Significantly, there is no best business, profession or field in the world as every business has its successes and failures.

Give Up Limitations

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Limitations are obstacles and barriers designed to keep a person, people, families, communities, businesses and nations from moving to their God ordained heights in life. Limitations vary – they can be man-made, self made or satanically engineered.  Permit me to say that satanically engineered limitations are easier to dislodge if a person is in Christ Jesus and living right. But self made limitations are especially difficult to dislodge as they are strongholds in a person’s mental processes that only the truth of the Word of God can dislodge. For this to happen, a person has to believe and accept the truth of God’s Word as final so that the self made limitations can be dislodged.

That is why I dare to say that what you hold on to, to an extent is an evidence of the height you have purposed to remain in and that to a large extent determines how far you want to get to in life.

Holding on to something you consider very dear or important can constitute a major limitation to your progress and increase. That is why giving up limitations is the fastest way to increase and progress. Giving up limitations is also a way of stretching your faith, trusting God to take you to a higher altitude in life. Do away with limitations by giving up that thing which God wants you to give up. Otherwise it becomes a stronghold which barricades your progress. Significantly, such things may not necessarily be money, talents, skills, expertise, time and material resources for the work of God.
