Put an End to Wandering 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Therefore, request help of God so that He will put an end to wandering in every sphere of your life in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. When you ask help of God, God responds and amazingly, swiftly. This is because God says to call on Him in the day of trouble and He will answer. Significantly, we humble ourselves when we ask God for help and God is always pleased with the humble.

The sick and dying servant of the Centurion mentioned in Luke Chapter 7 verses 1 to 10 is not referred to as a believer; but because his master the Centurion requested help from Jesus, the servant was healed. Quite significant is the fact that the Centurion humbled himself to not only request help of Jesus through the elders of the Jews, but he also insisted that he considered himself unworthy for Jesus to come under his roof. Beloved, you may not be Christian right now. You can ask Jesus for help and thereafter invest in a quality relationship that will yield great dividends for you both now and in eternity. Do not delay. Act now so that wandering and fruitless labor will come to an end in Jesus mighty name.    Wandering as a result of challenges such as financial challenges, unproductive labor and land, marital challenges can be resolved by the wisdom and knowledge of God to give stability. Please see Isaiah Chapter 33 verse 6. The wisdom of God has the capacity to make the land and labor productive, to resolve financial challenges, to resolve marital challenges, as well as other challenges. That will definitely end the captivity of wandering and its related challenges.

The reason for wandering is lack of direction, lack of purpose, lack of fulfillment. But God has given me purpose, therefore fulfillment and by virtue of my salvation by faith in Christ, the ground, the land that God blessed you with will always produce bountiful harvests in Jesus mighty name. Please see Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verses 7 to 10, 18, 11 verses 10 to 15, Zechariah Chapter 8 verse 12, Isaiah Chapter 30 verse 23, Genesis Chapter 8 verse 22. Therefore, no more wandering on account of financial challenges and what appears to be unprofitable labor because God blesses the work of your hands. Please see Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verses 7 to 10, 18; 11 verses 10 to 15, Zechariah Chapter 8 verse 12 and Isaiah Chapter 30 verse 23.

God in His infinite mercies and grace will give you wisdom, His wisdom that is profitable to direct.; to master your finances, to master your mental processes – imagination, dreams, thought processes, desires, emotions, etc; to master your time so that you invest time rather than fritter it; to master the relationships God brings your way so that you do not derail from His plans and purposes for your life as well as master your taste buds so that you do not eat what will be injurious to your body.

Put an End to Wandering 1

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You can put an end to wandering in your life in Jesus mighty name.

Kings and priests do not wander in darkness to look for solutions to challenges. Kings summon up the supposedly wise men and women in their kingdoms or even from other kingdoms to proffer solutions to their challenges. The Biblical Joseph was not an Egyptian but he proffered the solutions to the challenges posed by Pharaoh’s by Pharaoh’s dreams after he successfully interpreted them. Daniel was not a Babylonian but he proffered solutions to some of the challenges faced by Kings Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar and Darius.  Huram was recruited by King Solomon to work on the engraving in the temple and his palace. So kings do not wander from pace to place to seek solutions. The solutions are brought to them in their palaces.

Priests on the other hand do not summon people to provide solutions for them. Rather, they ask God for solutions and proffer solutions to the challenges of the people God sends or leads them to. If then believers are kings and priests on account of the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, why then do believers wander from diverse pillars to posts in search of the solutions they can ask God for on their knees even in the privacy of their bedrooms. Beloved, why seek water from broken cisterns that do not hold water when Jesus Christ through the outpouring of the Holy has blessed you with living waters that do not run dry, that are new every morning that can slake any kind of thirst be it spiritual, physical, mental, financial, emotional, marital, parenting, you just name it. Christ in you, the hope of glory has paid whatever price is required to give you any solution you seek in life. You do not have to wander in trackless deserts and be an unfortunate human guinea pig in the hands of spiritualists looking for whom to swindle.

Glory so divine

To accomplish the divine purpose

God gave me from the foundation of the world

Reaching for the skies

In soul winning, love, intercessions

Leapfrog Generational Limitations

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Generational limitations are certain limitations that run in families, institutions, communities and nations. Some of them include poverty, barrenness, idolatry, failure, obscurity, etc; and have become entrenched in families, in fact so deeply entrenched that like palm trees, they are difficult to uproot. Members of such families, institutions, communities and nations take it for granted that they can never rise above such limitations so each succeeding generation does not make any attempt or efforts to uproot the limitations. They lamely accept them and live with them.

Beloved, this is a lie from the pit of hell. You can actually leapfrog every generational limitation because God created you to succeed. The same God Who is the King of kings and Lord of lords Who knows that you can rise above whatever generational limitations exist in that family allowed you to be born into that family for a reason; so that you will break and destroy that limitation by the power and grace of God at work in your life. That way, you will rise above the limitation and change the negative history of that family.

Definitely, you cannot do this in your own strength which explains why God equipped you specially with certain gifts designed to make you a positive change agent in that family. You can rewrite the history of your family through those gifts. The widow of the indebted son of the prophet rewrote her family history with just a jar of oil. Her family was freed from the generational limitation of financial indebtedness that threatened debt bondage. Rahab rewrote her history by being hospitable to the two spies.

Encounter Divine Destiny

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

An encounter is a sudden meeting.

A divine encounter is a meeting with God and it is usually a day for a divine turnaround. It is a sudden visitation of God in your life in which God holds a personal meeting with you. Every child of God should experience a divine encounter as every divine encounter is the precursor to discovering purpose in life. It is a day of discovering destiny. Irrespective of what you have achieved in life now, there is a segment for meeting with divine destiny to bring about transformation in your life that is consistent with divine destiny. Until you have the encounter, you may be in a segment that is inconsistent with divine destiny. Moses’ background in Pharaoh’s house and Midian were irrelevant until he experienced divine encounter. Moses moved from shepherding flocks for his father in-law to national and global leadership of Israel shepherding God’s flock. Please see Exodus Chapter 3 verses 1 to 7.

When you have a divine encounter, everything changes. Gideon was a frightened young man threshing wheat in a winepress when he experienced divine encounter. The fearful young man who thought he was a nobody became a national hero who God used to free the nation of Israel from the intimidation and oppression of Midian. But for a divine encounter, Gideon would have remained unknown and insignificant. A divine encounter will make your life relevant; give you global visibility, significance, fame and wealth.

King Solomon experienced divine encounter and became the wealthiest and wisest King on earth. Kings, Queens, prominent people from different nations came to hear his wisdom and see his vast wealth. In point of fact, the Bible records that silver was as common as sand during his reign as king in Israel.

God is Faithful

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God does not fail, has not failed and will not fail. That is the testimony of the saints in the Bible and it is one of the cardinal teachings in the Bible. Please see Numbers Chapter 23 verse 19. David was a man after God’s heart, was anointed as King of Israel when he was still a teenager, experienced challenges that could have made him doubt God, the word of God and promises of God concerning him; yet David held on to God.

As a young man, God used Him to defeat Goliath and because the women of Israel sang praises of David, the then ruling King of Israel, Saul became envious of David and made several attempts on the young life of David. Consequently, David became homeless and had to live among the Philistines, ironically among the kinsmen of Goliath whom he killed. Eventually, Saul was killed in battle and after a battle with the surviving sons and relatives of Saul, the Israelites came together and crowned David king of Israel. Please see 1st Chronicles Chapter 12.

Divine Pathways to Fame 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God is the One Who raises the poor and needy out of the dust, from obscurity and insignificance, dishonor and lack into limelight, significance, relevance, honor and wealth – Psalm 113 verses 7 to 8, 1^st Samuel Chapter 2 verses 7 to 10, Psalm 78 verses 70 to 72, 107 verse 41, 145 verse 14. Some biblical examples include Hannah, Joseph, Abraham, Daniel, Mordecai, Esther, Obed-Edom, Ruth, Rahab, Mary the mother of Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, David,

God raises the poor out of the dust. David was an unknown shepherd boy in Israel, the least of his father’s sons yet God in His infinite mercy chose to make David king in Israel, and gave him national and regional fame as time progressed. Psalm 78 verses 70 to 72, 113 verses 7 to 8, 1^st Samuel Chapter 16 verses 1 to 13, 2 verses 7 to 8, and Isaiah Chapter 43 verse 19.

God raised Ruth out of Moab, widowhood without children and money, obscurity and who knows what else would have befallen her in Moab to become the wife of Boaz, a significant and well known man of substance in Israel as well as the mother of Obed, who fathered Jesse, the father of King David. Ruth Chapters 1 to 4. In essence, Ruth, the unknown Moabitess became an ancestor of the Lord Jesus Christ – Matthew Chapter 1 verse 5.

Rahab also rose to limelight and fame by the grace of God after she sheltered and protected the two spies sent by Joshua to Jericho. The Rahab who was described as a harlot in Joshua Chapters 2 verse 1, 6 verse 17, 22, 25 is mentioned in the lineage of Jesus Christ as the wife of Salmon and mother of Boaz who married Ruth and fathered Obed, the grandfather of King David.

Esther, a Jewish captive and orphan in Babylon; living with her older cousin Mordecai became famous, royalty when she married King Ahasuerus, the then ruler of a vast empire that spanned Asia and some parts of Europe. Significantly, God raised her to fulfill divine purpose. It is also significant to note that everyone God raised out of the obscure situations and positions in life fulfilled divine purposes.

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.

Do Not Walk in the Shadow of Anyone

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Isaiah’s ministry flourished after the death of King Uzziah – the implication is that Isaiah probably played second fiddle to Uzziah and Uzziah overshadowed Isaiah’s ministry, downplayed his commitment to God and the ministry. But after the death of Uzziah, Isaiah came back to his senses and realized how filthy he had become, repented and returned to God. Significantly, Isaiah voluntarily offered to be used of God. Please see Isaiah Chapter 6 verses 1 to 9 for details.

Beloved, do not walk in the shadow of anyone. Walk in the steps of Jesus Christ. Walking in the shadow of anyone can bring about limitations to divine purpose. This is because there is a limit to walking in anyone’s shadow as the shadow will limit your speed, the distance to be covered and whatever has to be done as all your activities and actions will hover around the parameters of the shadow and not necessarily the ground you have been divinely assigned to cover.

Abraham did not exactly walk in the shadow of Lot his nephew. However, Lot was fast becoming a distraction to Abraham and divine purposes – the constant friction between the herdsmen of Abraham and Lot was snowballing into contention and strife – a crucial ingredient for stagnation and retrogression, distraction from forward movement into divine purpose. If Abraham consistently frittered time away resolving conflicts, how much time would he have to invest in pursuing activities and relationships pertinent to divine purpose? Little or no time; which explains why the decision taken by Abraham to separate from Lot, was a quality destiny defining decision. How?

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).

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.

How to Get Out of Satanically Arranged Situations

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You can get  out of satanically arranged situations easily. How? By doing what God taught you to do best and which you have always done to bring glory to the name of the Lord.

In such situations, you ignore the machinations and contrivances of satanically controlled people and keep at doing what God wants you to do.

Joseph is a classic example. In spite of the envy and hatred his brothers showed to him, he went out to look for them. Yet, they sold him into slavery. As a slave in a foreign land, Joseph continued putting his best foot forward until the devil struck again through Potiphar’s wife. How about in jail? He was still at his God given best and in the fullness of time, God enlarged his coast to the point that every gang up and conspiracy against him was silenced forever in Jesus mighty name.

The Apostle Paul preached the gospel in and out of season. Severally, his life was threatened and on a number of times had close shaves with death; yet he arose from every one of those situations to preach the gospel, even more determined.

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) .
