God is Good

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Goodness is a cardinal nature of God and His character. Please see Psalm 34 verse 8 and Romans Chapter 8 verse 28. God is good and causes all things through providence to work together for good to His children just so that His children accomplish divine purposes. This implies that some seeming negative experiences are actually stepping stones that enable you to stretch your potentials and become a blessing to humanity. Some difficult tests in different aspects of life are also designed to prepare and transform you until you become who and what God planned for you from the foundation of the world. Therefore, capitalize on and take advantage of both the challenges that assail you and the opportunities that show up through the challenges as they engender transformation. Please see Jeremiah Chapter 29 verse 11.

Do not give up or give in as capitulating will truncate the transformation process and you will never arrive at the desired destination. The Master of the universe is in perfect control of everything in the universe. He knows how to reverse everything for your sake. Israel went to Egypt for bread but when they left, they had an abundance of silver and gold. Please see Exodus Chapter 12 verse 31, Proverbs Chapter 3 verses 5 to 8.

In point of fact, if you can see the mind of God concerning you, you will be too amazed to ever think that God does not care about you. In fact, you will be trumpeting God’s goodness globally. Open your mouth and declare God’s faithfulness in your life. God is still faithful. He does not change. God can still furnish a table in the wilderness. He can change your situation suddenly. He can do much more than you could ever ask. It is not about what people can do but what God can do.

Be More Proactive

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Rise up early – a great while before dawn to prepare. All the amazingly successful biblical characters always rose up a great while before dawn to spend quality time with God, plan and prepare for the day. The quality time spent with God meant greater illumination of their minds. Please see Psalm 119 verses 105 and 130. This also enabled them to receive divine blueprints for the day, days, weeks, months year etc. with such blueprints, they literally ran vigorously with the vision; garnered support as well as other resources required accomplishing the vision. Please see Moses, Joshua, the virtuous woman, Jesus Christ. 

Prepare even for the next second. Preparation is central to maximizing opportunities. When preparation meets opportunity, the rest is history as success comes in leaps and bounds. You make hay when the sun is shining and not when snow is falling. You also strike when the iron is hot and not cold.

Always anticipate people, events and situations so that you can proffer solutions ahead of time. Jesus Christ knew that Peter would be tested by the enemy and Peter would fail yet Jesus prayed for Peter so that Peter would become a different person after the test. Significantly, the same Peter who denied Jesus Christ thrice led the early Church after he was strengthened on account of the prayers Jesus prayed for him. 

Do not shift blames. Accept responsibility and repent and God will restore you. David acknowledged his sin. He did not blame beautiful Bathsheba for seducing him. God forgave him and restored him. 

Do not wait for events and people. Rather, preempt people and events through prophecy – by prophesying the word of God. 

Feast on the Word of God

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The beginning and end of success is the word of God engrafted in your spirit, soul and body. God gives and teaches us His divine principles for holy living in His word, and through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. As we learn, internalize and abide by these principles stated in His word, they become part and parcel of us, directing and guiding us, alongside the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. That is why the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 119 verse 105 that your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

The word of God is dynamic and has power to transform a person on a daily basis. The answer to every challenge is in the word of God therefore fill your heart with the word of God and meditate on the word of God. If you hear instructions from God, trial and error will no longer be your portion in Jesus mighty name.  Please see Romans Chapter 12 verses 1 to 2. Therefore, feed on the word of God and you have wealth, the hidden riches of darkness stated in Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 1 to 5.

God watches over His word to perform His word and not out fears, worries and anxieties. At the beginning of the year, I asked God to help me sell a certain number of copies of my books, quite a large number determined by the Holy Spirit. Thereafter, I would always check my sales report to see if I was making that quantity of sales. A number of times, I was worried because I required the money from book sales to pay my bills. But somehow, God kept paying my bills even before they were due in addition to giving me material things that made people think I had so much money. As I reflected on why there were no sales, the Holy Spirit made me understand that I was looking at the wrong place, visiting the sales report dashboard. He told me to look at the word of God, His precious promises to me concerning book sales in large numbers. He told me that was where I would make the sales as I daily thanked God for His unfailing Word, meditated on that Word and prophesied the Word over my books. I then realized why I had not made sales and also why I had not experienced victories in some other areas. Rather than look at the word of God and internalize the promises of God and make them real in my life; meditate on them and prophesy them, I was looking at the circumstances that assailed me which were really nothing to God. I was foraging on dirt – anxiety, fears, worries, suspicion when my focus should be on God and His word that does not return to Him void. I repented before God and asked Him to help me look at His word, and to believe His word as well as prophesy His word over my life and situation in Jesus mighty name.

Break with the Past

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Break with the past. Do not allow the past to hold you back. Do not expend your energy trying to fix what does not work. The past cannot be changed. Stop holding on to the past; do not allow your past bleed into your present to change your future. Do not allow the past to misdirect your life. The potential, the success inside you is greater than the previous and present successes you have experienced – Isaiah Chapter 43 verses 18 to 19.Therefore, do not let either past successes or adversity stop you from being the best you can be. Don’t let life make you change your name. Simply learn the lessons required from the past.

Be optimistic. Trust God when it looks like things are going backwards. Get to the point where you can trust God to let things go. It takes great peace to accept the times you are in. You may be aborting your own prophecies because you are trying to save what God has already cut off. Some blessings are seasonal blessings and once such seasons are over, you let go. God brings people into your life to do certain things. When their assignment is over, let them go and move on. The plan is a process leading to the purpose. Therefore, celebrate the new relationships in your life as well as what God is doing in your life now.
