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?

Build and Enhance Your Capacity for Success

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Success does not fall on anyone like a bag of cherries. It is also not a catch phrase to be thrown around. Success comes by being engaged in divine purposes that are built,  enhanced and consolidated over a period of time.

Every vision or idea is a function of capacity. That is to say that capacity precedes the implementation of every idea or vision. For every assignment, there must be relevant capacity from heaven to carry out the task. This is because visions are driven on the basis of capacity and not passion. Passion is not a substitute for capacity as a lack of capacity will show up in capacity gaps as you implement your ideas or vision without adequate capacity.

A person’s capacity acquired or received is a measure of a person’s gifted ability to perform a task or assignment. Therefore, always evaluate your capacity to midwife a vision or assignment to a successful end. Have sufficient capacity before embarking on implementation. If you discover that you lack capacity, or your capacity requires strengthening then be willing to put your vision on hold until you have sufficient capacity to midwife the vision. It is a misconception to think that capacity comes with the vision. The vision comes and then you receive the capacity to implement the vision by beginning a process of capacity acquisition through capacity building and strengthening activities based on your capacity evaluation. Please see Luke Chapter 14 verse 28.

Celebrate You

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Why?

You are fearfully and wonderfully made – Psalm 137 verses 14 to 18. This speaks of gratitude to God for who you are, how He created you and why He created you. David understood this and that explains he was unusually confident, celebrated himself and excelled, and prospered wherever he went. I pray that God will help you to see who you are so that you can place the right value on you and celebrate you accordingly in Jesus mighty name.

God loves you and gave up his only begotten son so that you can be reconciled to Him. Please see John Chapter 3 verse 16, 4 verses 9 to 11, 16, 19 and Jeremiah Chapter 31 verse 3.

You are special to God. Please see Deuteronomy Chapter 7 verses 6 to 8.

God is mindful of you and takes care of you. Please see Hebrews Chapter 2 verses 6 to 8, Psalm 8 verses 1 to 9.

God crowned you with glory and honor . Please see Psalm 8 verse 5.

God visits you to expand and increase you, restore life to you. Please see psalm 8 verse 4, Genesis Chapter 21 verse 1, Ruth Chapter 1 verse 6, Luke Chapter 1 verses 68, 78, 7 verse 16, 1^st Samuel Chapter 2 verse 21.

God gave you dominion over the works of His hands. Please see Genesis Chapter 1 verses 26 to 28, Psalm 8 verses 6 to 9.

God inscribed you on the palms of His hands and your walls are continually before Him which explains why He cannot forget you. Please see Isaiah Chapters 49 verses 13 to 16, 44 verse 21 and 1^st Samuel Chapter 1 verses 19 to 20.

Function in the Realm of Possibilities

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God is the God of possibilities and He is the only one who makes impossibilities possible.

There are endeavors that sometimes appear impossible but which become possible when a person with the right attitude determines to make them possible. This happens when a person believes in his or herself that s/he can do it because his or her natural human faith has been exercised to do it. This means that if you believe that you can achieve your dreams and move to Success Street, then you can do it. However, you will need to have confidence in yourself by believing in you and your abilities. This requires a healthy self esteem that celebrates God’s divine deposits in you which are your competitive advantage to excel and be successful in life. Therefore give yourself great latitudes of beauty in who you are and what you can do. Celebrate YOU and stay in your area of strength. That is where you can always excel and outshine your competition. Check out all the successful people you know and you will discover that they honed their abilities and stayed in their areas of strengths.

However, there are impossibilities that you must turn to God who alone makes impossibilities possible. To do this you will have to develop supernatural faith which is distinct from natural faith. Supernatural faith is distinct from natural faith because it is the faith that God works with to turn any conceivable impossibility to possibility. Supernatural faith believes God, the Word of God and activates the power in the Word by speaking the Word to actualize the precious promises of God to you in the Bible. That was the faith Moses exercised in his negotiations with Pharaoh as well as the many miracles the Israelites experienced in the wilderness.

Excel into Global Limelight

Written by Uyoyou C. Charles-Iyoha

Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before king: he will not stand before unknown men, Proverbs Chapter 22 verse 29.

God’s will is for you to excel into global limelight, abundance, honor and fame which He ordained for you from the foundation of the world. A number of biblical success stories attest to this.

Huram was a craftsman, an engraver. But the Bible records that Huram was a highly skilled engraver who could make any engraving, and could accomplish any plan. This was what qualified him to serve as the master craftsman of King Hiram of Tyre. At the request of King Solomon for a skilled craftsman, King Hiram sent Huram with very strong recommendations to King Solomon. Huram lived up to his reputation and served King Solomon for several years – he worked on the temple, the articles of worship in the temple in the temple as well as the palace of King Solomon. Huram did indeed stood before Kings – from King Hiram to the wealthiest and wisest King of his time. Please see 2^nd Chronicles Chapter 2 verses 7, 13 to 14. Others include Ezra the Priest (Ezra Chapter 7 verses 6, 10 11, 21, 25), Daniel (Daniel Chapter 5 verses 11 to 14, 6 verses 1 to 4, 1 verse 4); Bezalel (Exodus Chapter 35 verses 30 to 35), Joseph,(Genesis Chapter 41) .
