Travel Light

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Focus on God’s plans and purposes for your life. The ability to focus is a grace from God to function in a divine assignment for a season. Do not allow your thoughts to wander. Do not be controlled by other people’s needs as they may give you a different direction from the one you should be headed in. also, and quite critical, please ignore the distractions from the kingdom of darkness through any of his cohorts and agents. Mum is the word. Keep your mouth shut in Jesus mighty name.  No matter what, do not bring the war God has given you victory over in the realm of the spirit into the physical. Avoid quarrels, arguments, etc. Ignore accusations and let God continue to fight for you. Focus on your prayer requests and you have it.

Forgive those who hurt you. Do not hold grudges against anyone. Please see Matthew Chapter 6 verses 12 to 14, Hebrews Chapter 12 verse 2, Matthew Chapter 5 verse 44, Luke Chapter 22 verse 56 to 62, Mark Chapter 16 verse 7, Luke Chapter 23 verse 43, and Romans Chapter 8 verse 28.

Be obedient because obedience brings God’s blessings. Please see Isaiah Chapter 1 verse 19.  Obedience took Ruth from gleaning to ownership of a field. Ruth obeyed Naomi’s instructions and became the wife of Boaz. Please see Ruth Chapter 3 verses 4 to 5. It is better to obey God than run around with sacrifices. King Saul is an example of someone whose obedience was always in question. He lost the throne. Please see 1^st Samuel Chapter 15 for details.

Renew Your Mind

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Man is a spirit, has a soul and lives in the body – inside the soul is the mind, will and emotions (the will for decisions, the mind for processing and analysis (Deuteronomy Chapter 30 verses 19 to 20), the emotions for expressing feeling. The mind is the seat of reflecting consciousness, faculty of decision, making judgments, and gaining understanding. The mind is also the place of conviction – Matthew Chapter 11 verse 28.

That is why any form of satanic captivity starts in the mind. The devil took Eve captive by muddling up her mental processes to the point where she became uncertain of the exact command by God and consequently disobeyed God. The devil was able to convince her that God was economical with the truth – a lie from the pit of hell (John Chapter 8 verse 44). The devil made Eve believe that God did not want them to be like Him which was why He asked them not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The devil attempted this evil game with Jesus Christ at the temptation but Jesus Christ overcame him with the truth of God’s word and consequently gave us victory over every lie and deception of the enemy. Please see 1^st John Chapter 3 verse 8, John Chapter 10 verse 10, Matthew Chapter 4 verses 1 to 11, and Luke Chapter 4 verses 1 to 14.

The devil launches mental sieges to blind the minds of people to the truth of the Word of God. (2^nd Corinthians Chapters 3 verses 14 to 18; 4 verses 1 to 6; 11 verse 3, 1^st Timothy Chapter 4 verses 1 to 3, 2^nd Timothy Chapters 3 verses 1 to 9, 13; 4 verses 3 to 4, Titus Chapter 1 verses 9 to 16, 1^st Timothy Chapter 1 verses 3 to 4, Proverbs Chapter 26 verse 28). The satanic tools of mental sieges include lies (John Chapter 8 verse 44), deceptions, distorting the truth (Genesis Chapter 3 verses 1 to 13), unbelief, fear, worry, anxiety, disillusionment, depression, craftiness, deceit (2^nd Corinthians Chapters 4 verse 2; 11 verse 3), flattery and lack of understanding. Because the mind is a battlefield, a place of strategic spiritual warfare, satan uses it to make man displease God. The mind has the tendency to be blinded by satan in order to block the blessings of God from your life.

Exercise Dominion in Your Sector

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

If there is anyone that should succeed in any business, it should be you because Genesis Chapter 1 verse 26 says so. It is the will of God for you. This means that as a believer, you should be at the top because dominion is your DNA. You are made in the image of God.

There is no best business, place or profession or field. Every business has its successes and failures as well as the secrets that make certain people exercise dominion certain sectors and why some people do a sprint away from certain sectors. Your sector is your sphere of influence; an area where you authority rules. However, you require great skills and expertise to exercise dominion in your sector. If you do not have the skills and expertise, you either learn them or hire them as consultants. But most importantly, always apply the wisdom of God in whatever you do. It is the wisdom of God that will always give you the edge you need to exercise dominion in your sector. The wisdom of God is all yours for the asking if you care to – James Chapter

Additionally, and quite instructive is the need to apply yourself. While skills and expertise are great assets; skills and expertise without a corresponding grace to complete assigned tasks especially as directed will not place you at the top. If you do not complete tasks assigned to you, how then do you exercise dominion? An uncompleted building, art work or dress is never a master piece and cannot be showcased in any competition. Only completed buildings, works of art, dresses et al can be showcased and categorized as master pieces. Huram had the grace to finish tasks as directed. So also were Bezalel, Oholiab and the team of gifted artisans who worked with them – Exodus Chapter 38 verses 22 to 23, 39 verses 42 to 43.

Enhance Your Brand 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The widow of the indebted son of the prophet was a very humble person. She acknowledged their family financial situation - it was very bad, they were in debt that was long overdue for repayment and the creditor had no intention of showing mercy. He would show up at any moment to take her two sons away for debt bondage. Recognizing that such an action would further compound her situation – widowhood and losing her two sons to the creditor she acted. She cried out to God, by going to the spokesperson of God, Elisha the prophet. She told him the truth, the whole truth. She was not economical with the truth. She did not color the truth. Elisha then advised her on what to do. Again, she humbled herself and went to all her neighbors and borrowed empty vessels. She despised the shame and borrowed empty vessels in large quantities as instructed by the prophet. Thereafter, she processed and packaged the seemingly little oil for sale and that ended and destroyed the yoke of poverty in their lives.

Humility enhanced the brand of this woman, her two sons and their family from that of an indebted family to an abundantly supplied family with more than enough financial resources to live on after paying off their debts.

Please, permit me to emphasize the significance of empty vessels. The prophet Elisha instructed the widow to borrow empty vessels in large numbers after she informed the prophet that all she had was a jar of oil. The question is why empty vessels in large numbers? The empty vessels would ensure a continuous flow of the oil – expanding and multiplying the oil. In like manner, institutionalization of the grace of God in your life will always ensure a steady flow of the grace, expanding and multiplying the unction of God in your life; creating further opportunities and platforms for expansion in your life.

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.
