Unravel the Greatness Within to Succeed

Witten by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You are born great and you are greatly blessed. Before God created you, He put everything you would need in place. You were deliberately created to be great. That is why you are created in the image of God. You are not a biological accident. You were designed from the very foundation of the world to be great and everything you would need to achieve the greatness; both internal and external were put in place by God for you. Please see John Chapter 10 verse 34, Psalm 8.

The internal requirements are the innate possibilities deposited in you by God and they are within you for you to discover, develop and enhance to high accent for success in every area of your life. It does not have to be a great gift for God to use it in a great way.

God is the God of possibilities. There is something within you that God can use. There are innate possibilities within you that you can build on through shared information. What do you have that God can use? Believe God for the impossible because with God all things are possible. The things you feel are a disadvantage to you are things that God wants to use to magnify you. Therefore, do not doctor your resume, your status, etc. what God has planned for you is specific to you – 2nd Corinthians Chapter 10 verses 12 and will come to full manifestation and success with what is within you.

Enhance Your Brand 3

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Grooming, cleanliness, personal hygiene, dressence, beauty enhancements, are also components of enhancing your brand. To be clean, to smell good and look good are all processes that lead up to brand enhancement. Cleanliness and dressing up are therefore critical to brand enhancement.

Esther is described as lovely and beautiful - having a good figure and beautiful face (Esther Chapter 7 verse 9) yet when she entered for the search for a queen contest, she also partook of the prescribed beauty treatments for twelve months – six months with oil of myrrh and six months with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women (Esther Chapter 2 verses 3, 9 to 12, 15).

Ruth was Naomi’s daughter in-law. She came with Naomi from Moab and was gleaning to feed herself and her mother in-law. Naomi was concerned about the future of Ruth and decided to take advantage of a Jewish custom that benefited widows so Ruth could remarry within the family. So she advised Ruth on what to do.

All the while Ruth had been gleaning in the fields of Boaz, she was not properly groomed and dressed to attract the attention of Boaz in the way a potential bride should be. Therefore, Naomi instructed Ruth to shower and to be clean and free of grime, oils and sweat and dirt smells which cling and throw off  foul unpleasant smells that drive people away; apply cream that is oils to soften her skin and make her skin glow, attractive and appealing and people will want to touch and feel it; apply perfume for a more pleasant smell that will screen off any possible sweat smell after her walk to the threshing floor. Ruth was also advised to put on her best gown; dress well, dress up. Why? To enhance her brand as the best bride that Boaz could have. Already, Boaz was impressed by her devotion to Naomi as well as her care for Naomi. The additional beauty touches would be additional pleasant seasonings to an already delicious pudding.

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.

Enriched and Enlarged for Success 1

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The God of divine surplus will visit you, enrich and enlarge you as you journey to Success Street. When He visited Peter, Peter caught a multitude of fish. When He intervened in the feeding of the multitudes, there was a surplus from what appeared to be insufficient.

God demonstrates divine enrichment and enlargement through divine surplus and He desires to take you to that position of divine surplus now in Jesus mighty name. The indebted prophet’s widow was in a very unpleasant situation that appeared to have no exit doors. She had no means of livelihood, her husband left behind huge debts that threatened the future of her two sons who would soon become slaves to the creditor. She ran to Prophet Elisha for help and God instructed her on what to do through the prophet. As she obeyed every instruction, God multiplied the jar of oil into several vessels of oil that were sold to pay off the debts. Suddenly, an impoverished and indebted family without any income had excess income that exceeded their expenditure and debts so that they had more than enough financial resources to live on for the rest of their lives. God moved them from the level of debt, lack, indebtedness to more than enough and He is about to do same for you irrespective of whatever level you are in now. Through His overflowing and inexhaustible fountain of divine abundance, He will ensure that the treasury of your life is continually filled to overflowing and abundance that ensures that your income will always exceed your expenditure no matter how big that expenditure is. Please see Philippians Chapter 4 verse 19.
