Wait for God

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God promotes to show forth His glory in life. He does not need to consult anyone to promote you. Promotions are orchestrated by God and there is a due time for God’s promotion (Habakkuk Chapter 2 verses 2 to 3). God has His own timing for everyone (Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 verse 11).  Beloved, it is just a matter of time. I see God bringing you to His rest for you in every area of your life – marriage, financial, spiritual. You will move from glory to glory in Jesus mighty name.

Joseph’s case is a classic case study of exponential divine promotion which is usually beyond human imagination. The king sent for him. He did not seek to see Pharaoh. Joseph had no status, no background that could have made it possible for him to see Pharaoh yet God orchestrated the meeting by creating a need that only Joseph could meet in the heart and life of Pharaoh. Only God decides who occupies positions of high authority and greatness and it can be exponential and can happen suddenly. Please see Genesis Chapter 41, 1st Samuel Chapter 2 verse 8.

God had a plan for Joseph’s life though hatred made his brothers attempt to kill him and in the end, they sold him into slavery. If Joseph had remained with his father, he would not have succeeded. Also, he could not manage his thought processes and always said things as they were. He was not diplomatic and discreet. He shared openly his dreams. Please see Chapter 37 verses 2 to 11.  For Joseph to make it in life, he had to shed being Daddy’s boy (Genesis Chapter 39 verse 4, John Chapter 12 verse 24).   Joseph was served at home but in Egypt he learnt to serve. The place of service is the place of training. As Joseph served, he was made General Overseer, learning administrative skills that became necessary as the Prime Minister of Egypt. Joseph was also trained to be more diplomatic and discreet. His choice and use of language at the time he stood before Pharaoh to interpret Pharaoh’s dream are clear indications of his spiritual and mental development.

God was perfecting Joseph in the place of interpreting dreams. He depended on God for the interpretation of the dreams. Please see Genesis Chapter 41 verse 14. What you do not perfect you cannot handle. Some of the assignments you are assigned are actually designed for your promotion. God does not promote lazy people. You limit the life of a person when you encourage shortcuts. What you do not pay a price for, you do not value. If you refuse to manage challenges so that they become stepping stones, you are likely to perceive challenges as uphill tasks that should be avoided at all costs. As Joseph remained under the tutelage of God, he made progress. Please see Genesis Chapter 47 verse 20.

The Role of Excellent Communication Skills in Brand Enhancement

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Excellent communication skills open doors of abundance, influence, position, power and authority to people who have learnt to communicate excellently whether verbally or written or even through body language. Excellent communication skills are a total package comprising your choice of diction, tone, posture, grooming and dressence. All of these take constant practice as well as conscious effort to implement and improve upon what has been practiced. It is neither a one off activity nor a sprint.

Nabal is described as a very successful business man who had acquired considerable wealth and was referred to as very rich. Additionally, he was married to a very beautiful woman described as someone of good understanding. Despite all these successes, Nabal lacked communication skills and was consequently described as harsh and evil in his doings. Please see 1^st Samuel Chapter 25.

His caustic and very demeaning response to the messengers of David over a simple request to let them partake of his feast from the shearing activity attest to the fact that he had absolutely no communication skills. How? A polite no to their request would have been okay rather than the invectives on David who he referred to as not only a servant but a breakaway servant from his master and concluded that he would not share his food with men he did not know where they were from.

David was infuriated when his men reported back Nabal’s unguarded speech and embarked on a revenge mission that would have wiped out Nabal and his entire household but for the timely intervention of Abigail, Nabal’s very beautiful wife.

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.
