God Always Creates Opportunities for His Own

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

It is strange how you keep looking for the golden moment and it appears difficult to find. But somehow, out of blues and that is the beautiful thing about the Holy Spirit; He always prepares that golden moment ahead of time and also prepares you ahead of time for that golden moment and at the appropriate time, God by His Holy Spirit, the ever wonderful Spirit shows you the golden moment; ushers you into it and you emerge significant.

God creates room and opportunities for His people by blessing them with skills, talents, expertise which if well deployed move a person up in God’s divine purposes and timing. Joseph was blessed with the gift of dreaming (seeing possibilities through possibility thinking). As Joseph worked this gift beginning with his Jerusalem, his family, God moved him to where the gift could be deployed to bless a larger segment of humanity beyond Joseph’s immediate Canaan. God created room for Joseph to become prime minister in Egypt. How? By creating a situation that made it impossible for the wise men of Egypt to interpret Pharaoh’s twin dreams dreamt in a single night. The inability of the wise men of Egypt to interpret the dreams created room for Joseph to emerge out of the woods, the backside of the desert, to be specific, prison in a foreign land. Joseph, a young man unjustly sentenced indefinitely to prison in a land where he had no rights was suddenly brought out of prison to stand before Pharaoh to solve a problem which none of the wise men of Egypt could solve. Joseph was able to interpret the dreams. He also proffered solutions to the challenges posed by the interpretation of the dreams. Hitherto troubled Pharaoh was relieved, members of his court were impressed and Joseph became prime minister. Please read Psalm 105 verses 16 to 22, Genesis Chapter 41.

Unmask You

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

To succeed, the real you has to come to the fore. The real you is God’s original design of you created to fulfill His divine plans and purposes for your life. The following questions may guide you into identifying that you if answered truthfully.

• Whose dreams and visions are you interpreting and for what purpose?

• Whose ideas are you implementing and for what purpose?

• What drives you – your dreams and visions coupled with a desire to excel; or the desire to please and impress other people by deploying your energy and resources to service their dreams and visions while yours are left fallow?

• Do you desire greatness or servitude? The choice is actually yours. 

• Who is God to you?

• Have you identified your purpose in life or you are hoping it will fall on you like a bag of cherries?

• Do you have a trajectory for your life?

• What do you hope to be remembered for in the next ten years?

• What does the gift of time mean to you?

Define Your Environment

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Joseph was born a five talent person - a dreamer of dreams, an interpreter of dreams and situations, blessed with the divine gift of solving problems and creating order out of chaos. Significantly, God was with him and he had divine favor.

Unfortunately for Joseph, he was born and raised in a one talent environment devoid of the nurturing processes and care to express and utilize his five talents for the actualization of divine purposes. Additionally, Joseph talked endlessly about his talents and future goals by sharing his dreams of global leadership with one talent people accustomed to one talent environments, consciousness and mentality. This attracted the envy of his brothers who did not understand then that the potentials for global leadership and greatness were not dependent on the biological position of seniority which the birthright of the first son automatically conferred on the first son as the leader of the pack of the sons. They were therefore very angry with Joseph, became very envious of him to the point of hating him and refusing to speak with him. In their one talent environment, mentality and consciousness, Joseph was cheeky and a threat to their leadership security. As time wore on and events unfolded, their hatred grew to the point where they wanted Joseph dead. But for the intervention of Reuben, Joseph would have been killed by his blood brothers simply because of their one talent mentality, consciousness and environment.  

Eventually Joseph was sold into slavery, still by his brothers. Yet Joseph never for once allowed his environment to define him. He refused to be subjected to a one talent person even in a one talent environment ruled by a one talent consciousness and mentality. Joseph treasured his five talents and allowed them to shine. In no time, Potiphar noticed and immediately acted. Joseph was promoted Chief of Staff above everyone he met in Potiphar’s house. But even then, Potiphar’s house was not the five talent environment God had for Joseph. Therefore challenges that would orchestrate his movement to the five talent environment showed up and Joseph was moved to prison. Was this promotion or demotion? Joseph again defined the environment. He did not allow prison and the unfortunate circumstances he found himself in to define him. Rather, he defined the environment, his five talents shone through and he enjoyed privileges in prison.

Speak Up about Your Skills, Talents and Expertise

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

There is wisdom in speaking up about your skills, talents and expertise. It is akin to marketing and advertising your skills. It is biblical to sell – 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verse 7. Elisha instructed the indebted prophet’s widow to sell the oil. It was not to be given away as freebies.

The virtuous woman sold the linen garments she produced – she also supplied sashes to the merchants. It is therefore not a sin to sell expertise, knowledge resources, skills, other products and services. Lydia was a seller of purple - Acts Chapter 16 verse 14.

Even the business of trading in knowledge resources, skills, expertise and ideas, talents for money, fame, power, position is not new. The Biblical Joseph, Jacob, and Daniel are classic examples. Jacob traded time and his knowledge of shepherding flocks for board, wives and later his own flock – serving to become a master. Joseph and Daniel traded in their expertise and God given wisdom to become globally respected leaders who earned big time money. These two men served in empires that were world leaders who ruled the world and controlled the economies of the world. And despite being slaves and captives of war, they rose to the pinnacle of global leadership through the mercy and favor of God using their God given IPs.

Move to the Next Level

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Every process of life designed by God was designed to be progressive. That is why it is said that the only thing constant in life is change. God never designed life to be static which explains why about everything in life is centered on processes that move people forward from point A to B and as many other points that people want to get to in life. The will of God for you is to move forward from one positive level of life to another positive but higher level of life. Unfortunately, this is usually not the case for a great majority of people as people generally tend to be complacent. They achieve a little success and spend years celebrating that little success rather

than use the little success as leverage to move on to the next level.

Steps to Move to the Next Level

Reject complacency by moving out of whatever appears to be your comfort zone so you can move forward.

Move up the ladder of life by taking on new challenges. Consciously choose to be filled with new dreams, visions and goals which you make conscious and determined efforts to actualize. Great good days of abundance, joy and blessings are in front and are impatiently waiting for you to be part of them. Go for those days even if you have to do a sprint. God will help you and give you the grace and know how to get there speedily in Jesus mighty name.
