You are a Success Story


Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha
You are not a failure
You are not a loser
You are not down and out
You did not even fall



You only took on a new course
Walked in a new direction
A direction that had always been there
Latent, with occasional walks

Not long enough to explore the full
And optimal dimensions of this course
Short walks, actually forays
That could have proceeded
To real life long journeys on this course

Designed to Succeed - Be You


Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha
  
The angel told me to give Zerubbabel this message from the LORD: "You will succeed, not by military might or by your own strength, but by my spirit. Zechariah Chapter 4 verse 6 Good News Translation.

God has never failed and will never fail. Great food for thought! May be, may be not depending on the side of the divide you are in. But the truth irrespective of whatever divide you are in is that God does not fail and will never fail. That significantly says a lot about you. Why and how? You are created in the image of God, the Author of success meaning that even before you were born, God had designed and capacitated you for success. There is therefore absolutely no reason why you should not succeed. Success is in your DNA. IT IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT and INHERITANCE which cannot be stolen no matter how hard the enemy tries. You are the only one who can stop YOU FROM SUCCEEDING.

You can become national and global assets to kings and nations if you know who exactly you are and why God put you on planet earth. David knew the you in him which explains why he could run after the wild beast that came preying on the family flock he kept. It was also this wonderful knowledge about who he was that empowered David, a mere youth to challenge; not only an experienced warrior but a giant who had successfully immobilized the entire army of Israel for forty days. David knew you, the you in him; he successfully brought Goliath down and the army of the Philistine that had held sway because of Goliath was overrun by the army of Israel. Please read 1st Samuel Chapter 17 for details and Holy Spirit inspired insight.

Mordecai knew the you in him and refused to literally worship Haman. Though Haman resorted to making the King agree to his decree to annihilate the Jews, Mordecai was not intimidated. He took on Haman in prayers and Haman and his household were destroyed.

Therefore, let loose the floodgates of success latent in you by being you. You never belonged by being them. You belonged by being you because they wanted to be like you. They needed the refreshing grace, vigor and life you brought to every situation. Why then do you want to be like them; to fit into their lifeless mold that is void of energy and power? It is the life and vigor you bring; the refreshing presence of God that makes the difference and which is what makes you relevant, significant and needed. Therefore, continue to be YOU and innovate on YOU rather than be a lifeless copy, an unsigned copy, an imitation of someone else. YOU are YOU and it is the YOU in YOU that will take you to the heights God designed for you from the foundation of the world. Therefore, do not stop being YOU.

You Can Move Faster


Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Moving forward in a very slow manner may not give the desired momentum you require to arrive at the opportune time in history and destiny at your divine destination because you may arrive too late and not make the desired impact that could have made history.

Therefore, redo, fix up, and renovate what needs fixing up to get things up and working so that you can move faster. This simply means that you should develop momentum, gain momentum, regain some momentum, in point of fact, great momentum and move at the pace God designed you to move at so that you can arrive at divine destination in record divine timing. No one gets awards for snail paces that lead nowhere. They are not even an indication of holiness or righteous living but simply an indication of laziness or ignorance about how to acquire divine speed.

Therefore, retire the baby steps you have long over grown and begin to walk like a general; a general in the warfront and not a general at a desk. This is because there is still so much more ground to break and so much more to accomplish. Therefore, move faster and work smarter not to catch up but to accomplish divine purpose. There is no point taking unaccomplished divine purpose to the grave. It does not give any laurels in heaven. Step it up and gain significant momentum. You need it urgently, in fact, yesterday and not now. Therefore make up for lost time.

Rule Your World


Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

To be successful in life, you have to be ruled by the word of God. Do not allow dreams especially satanically manipulated dreams, visions and circumstances rule your life. Rather, let your life be ruled by the undiluted word of God; the word of God that gives life, direction, favor, wealth, etc.

Pastor Sam Adeyemi, Founder and Senior Pastor of Daystar Christian Centre has been ruling his world and will continue to do so because he knows the secret to doing do. Though greatly anointed of God, he was divinely instructed to use mass media to announce himself to the world and he obeyed God. He became a city set on a hill which was not hidden. He became greatly sought after, famous, wealthy, honored, more anointed, more knowledgeable, and more generous with the grace of God in his life. And significantly, he became successful as he shared the secrets of success God shared with him to many people through his radio program Success Power. Significantly, he did not wait until he was mega successful before sharing the secrets of success. He faithfully shared what God taught him; trusting God to make him and his listeners successful. He is a true success story. The people he impacted and still impacts are also success stories. Today, he is on television and online as well in addition to running a leadership development institute. He is and keeps expanding on all sides.

Beloved, refuse to be caged! Share your gifts with the world through available media that is convenient for you. The World Wide Web and its numerous platforms are available to you and significantly, you do not have to spend a fortune. A number of young people are making millions and billions from using the World Wide Web to share information, skills and expertise. Do not be caged and left out because you are looking for brick and mortar to become a success story. Do not be caged by anyone or institution that wants you to serve like Jacob in Laban’s house. Find your divine exits out of such captivity fast. You are a city set on a hill and you can announce yourself to the world through social media and become you, designed from the foundation of the world to be a blessing and a great success story. You are an achiever, so designed by God to impact humanity. Therefore, get out of the backside of the desert into the klieg lights. Let the word of God guide you and give you the required light you need in Jesus mighty name.

You Can Succeed

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You can succeed if only you will dare because it is the will of God for you to succeed. Please see Joshua Chapter 1 verse 8. Also, you can succeed if you take the decision to succeed and dare the challenges and odds which the enemy throws in your paths to success. Success does not come on a platter of gold. It comes masked as challenges that you must purposefully in a very determined and tactical manner, strategically unmask.

People sometimes wear masks to cover up something which may be beautiful, ugly, unpleasant, too brilliant to showcase at a certain time or place; or amongst certain people who may want to devour it. Brides in certain cultures are usually beautifully dressed up but veiled, a mild form of masks. It is the responsibility of the groom to unveil the bride; to behold and enjoy beauties untold. Significantly and quite often, the journey to unveiling the beautiful but masked bride is not a bed of roses. Perhaps you should ask people from the ethnic groups where potential grooms are subjected to the indignity and pain of a good number of strokes of the cane, significantly not in secret but in public glare.

Beloved, it is usually the determination and courageous resolve of the groom to unveil the bride that keeps the real groom from bolting when the pain of the harshly delivered strokes of the cane become unbearable. He bears the pain in silence, masking his pain in order not to be mocked and considered an unsuitable groom for the bride. What an ordeal!

Fortunately, you do not have to be flogged publicly or privately to succeed as Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior has paid the full price for success in any endeavor of life for humanity. All you need to do is to latch on to Jesus and walk with him to and on Success Street.

Steps to Greatness

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Everyone born of God is destined for greatness. The Bible is replete with regular people who received incredible greatness based on their relationship with God. Abraham became great and the father of nations on account of his relationship with God. King David attained greatness from being committed and faithful to God. King Solomon surrendered it all to God and was the greatest King of his time.

Even in history and contemporary times, we daily read about regular people like you and I who became great because God made them great. That same God, Jehovah, the El-Shaddai to whom all power belong is still in the business of making people great and you can be the next in line for divine greatness. Some of the ways in which you can become great by the help of God include but are not limited to:

Be careful what you watch, what you listen to and what you read as all these have a way of impacting mental processes. If you spend time reading about, listening to or watching videos on impossibilities, chances are you will think that there are always impossibilities on every step of the way. So like the lazy man described in the book of Proverbs, you will always see fierce lions in the streets and refuse to take the bull by the horn.

The Dynamics of Success


Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans Chapter 8 verse 14.

God is the one who makes a person great. God has control of the universe in his hands. Romans Chapter 6 verse 14. The ability to be blessed comes from God. It is not hard work alone. Therefore, you must have absolute belief and dependence on God, the only One Who gives and guarantees sustainable success. God is the One Who gave Joseph resounding success in Egypt; Daniel a long reign of success in Babylon. Please see Genesis Chapter 41 and Daniel Chapters 2, 5 and 6. Combine this with absolute belief in the miracle working power of God to make impossibilities possible and you are a great success any day.

You should have absolute belief and confidence in the word of God to prosper in your life and create positive turnaround and transformation for everyone to see. Please see Isaiah Chapter 55 verses. When God is about to do great miracles, He grants His servants spectacular revelation. The original truth of the word of God which says you are fruitful is the word of God and that truth has overtaken every lie of the devil in your life.

Allow God to guide you because the divine paths of God always lead to resounding success and abundance. Please see Isaiah Chapter 48 verse 17. Blessings should have a righteous foundation and should be generationally sustainable. You do not get blessed by crooked means. Choose to trust Him and you will be blessed and transformed to who God created you to be, successful, wealthy, abundant, loving, compassionate, forgiving, generous, friendly, gracious, beautiful.

Be Strategic

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Do not expend energies running in wide circles that lead nowhere. Focus on a destination and decide on the best, fastest but godly and safest route to get there; right on time; God’s time. This calls for divine guidance from God. This also presupposes that you have ascertained the specified destination from God; therefore you know where you are headed but require a strategic roadmap.

Be strategically positioned in or at a location where people can easily access you. For instance, a hill is a conspicuous place, a vantage point because people can see what is on the hill. This is to say that you have to be rightly positioned where people can see you and reach you. Accessibility is therefore important – people should be able to see you.

Give empowering gifts. Empowering gifts empower people to become who God created them to be, enable them to achieve divine destinies. Therefore, you should love and enjoy teaching people to do things right.

The responsibility of a Christian is to solve problems for humanity and not only cater for his or her family’s needs. Joseph did. Daniel did. Esther did. Nehemiah did. So also are many historical and contemporary people that you have either heard about, read about, watched videos of and have even seen. The problems they solved moved them up in the ladder of life and wealth. The choice is yours. God has a place for you in the kingdom. Know exactly what to do and how to do it.

Develop your craft. Challenge the area of your limitation. Creative people always find ways to transcend the limits put on them. Learn if you have to learn and ensure you learn the right things.

Jesus Christ


Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

My weaknesses for His strength
His strength for my weaknesses
His blood for my redemption
Wiping away every accusation

His blood for my justification
His blood for my sanctification
Ever flowing, ever cleansing
The most precious fount for humanity

His wealth to lift me out of poverty
His stripes for my healing
His shame for my dignity
His pain for my joy

His humiliation for my dignity
Accomplishments, successes and honor
He lifted me from the dust and ash heap
To royalty, wealth and honor

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.

Proceed to Destination

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Perfect conditions do not exist anywhere. That is why princes and princesses marry non royalty. Therefore, take advantage of the opportunities at your disposal to create your supposed perfect conditions.

Spend quality time with knowledgeable and open minded people. Apart from the benefit of learning from them, their open mindedness’ to new ideas will give a boost to your ideas. Knowledgeable people are also secure people who are not intimidated by the success of other people. They are people you need in your journey to share your ideas, successes and challenges with. They will encourage and most often give you great counsel if they understand the dynamics of the industry you are in. You need them.

Avoid people who are stuck in a rut – people who hold on to established ways of doing things that yield zero and negative results.

Avoid people who are fiercely opposed to new ideas. This is because they never see good in the new things that are happening and bringing about transformation in the lives of people and businesses. Do not partner with them whether in business or ministry.
Avoid people who always feel intimidated and insecure when their authority is challenged because new ideas are proposed.

Stand on the Promises of God 1

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The promises of God which are yea and amen in Christ Jesus are not in the stratosphere. They are within easy reach in the word of God. However, these promises can only be identified through a diligent study of the word of God. Do you want to know the promises of God concerning you? Then speedily commence a diligent study of the word of God to unravel the promises which cover about every area of life; some of which are:

Healing and Divine Health
I am the Lord that healeth thee (Exodus Chapter 15 verse 26) as well as other Scriptures on healing are clear pointers that it is the will of God for you to be in divine health at all times. God takes the trouble to heal you and keep you in divine health because He wants you to succeed. He wants to showcase you to the world which is why He does not allow you to be affected by sicknesses and diseases, be bedridden and incapacitated for success. A sick body and mind cannot succeed. That is why God ensures that you are mentally whole and capacitated to reflect on Philippians Chapter 4 verse 5. That is also why God keeps you physically strong, whole and capacitated to move about, engage in physical and mental as well as spiritual activities that generate money. God loves you. He says He will heal you of any disease the enemy may want to afflict you with. Please see Psalm 103 verses 3 to 4, Exodus Chapter 23 verses 25 to 26.

Do Not Fear

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Fear incapacitates, immobilizes, stagnates and brings about loss of vision and direction. Fear is a tool that the enemy enjoys using against believers to truncate the plans and purposes of God in their lives. A number of Biblical examples include:

The use of fear against the army of Israel by Goliath is an interesting case study. Through Goliath’s intimidating stature and boastful words, the devil succeeded in instilling fear in the hearts of the soldiers of Israel. A well equipped and well prepared army of hundreds of thousands able men who left their homes to fight the Philistine army cowered in fright because Goliath, a giant boasted of his might. What a shame especially when a mere youth who had never served in the army brought Goliath down. So it was not necessarily Goliath’s stature that incapacitated and immobilized the army of Israel. It was the fear he spewed out through his intimidating words. Please see 1st Samuel Chapter 17.

Fear was also the reason Lot took a decision to go live in a cave in the mountains instead of Zoar where he escaped to safety from Sodom and Gomorrah. Living in a cave alone with two grown up daughters led to the incestuous union that produced Moab and Ammon. Fear births wrong decisions.

The Israelites at a time in their history threshed wheat in winepresses because they were afraid of the Midianites whose pastime was to destroy the livelihoods of the Israelites in order to impoverish them. God empowered Gideon with great faith to overcome fear and destroy the Midianites. Please see Judges Chapter 6.

Experience Exponential Increase

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. Psalm 115 verse 14
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. Psalm 71 verse 21

God called you to increase you and not to deplete you. It is the will of God to increase you and your family, your business and finances from one level of glory to another on a daily basis. That is why He says, though your beginning was small, your latter end shall be great. Therefore, anything attempting to deplete you is not of God and should be judged and destroyed in Jesus mighty name. Please see Exodus Chapter 1 verses 7 to 12, 20, Deuteronomy Chapters 7 verses 13 to 14; 8 verse 13, Genesis Chapters 13 verses 14 to 18; 17 verses 6 to 8; 28 verses 3 to 4, 13 to 15; 30 verse 43; 35 verses 9 to 12; 48 verses 3 to 4; 47 verse 27 and Psalm 80 verses 8 to 11.

Beloved, God is faithful. God who promises abundant increase after a small beginning cares about your success and is willing to help you succeed through whatever small steps you start with. Please see Proverbs Chapter 4 verse 8, Isaiah Chapter 54 verses 2 to 3, Genesis Chapters 22 verse 7, 26 verses 1 to 4 and 12 to 14. Therefore, commence whatever you are aiming at with the small steps God leads you to and trust Him to give you abundant increase as He promises in His word. It is never too late to start. God is the one who gives speed, increase and altitude. Please see Isaiah Chapter 60 verse 22. This increasing speed from God to gain altitude comes only through obedience to God. Obedience to God is a seed that germinates and fruits fast. Please, see John Chapter 15. Just as the mustard seed (as tiny as it is) took root and expanded to accommodate global visitors so will your enterprise, no matter how small it is take root and expand in Jesus mighty name. Remember His word to the people of Israel who rebuilt the temple in Haggai Chapter 2 verse 9. He alone will open all the doors; provide all the resources that you need. He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that you could ever ask or think of.

Why Dare to Succeed

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Dare to Succeed is specifically designed to teach, inspire and boost your confidence levels to look the challenges that assail you eyeball to eyeball, analyses and dissect them to see the hidden opportunities, albeit the stepping stones embedded in the challenges.

Indeed, the journey of life is not a bed of roses. However, the apparent bed of thorns that strew the pathways of success can become beds of roses which propel you to success and wealth if you know what to do; which is the crux of the matter – knowing what to do, to dare to succeed against all odds.

This implies that knowledge, not just any kind of knowledge but knowledge that is specific to dealing with the challenge/s is strategic to making the challenges stepping stone. Please permit me to quote Proverbs Chapter 24 verses 3 to 4 (NLT) verbatim. ‘any enterprise is built by wise planning, becomes strong through common sense; and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of the facts. To keep abreast of the facts is to be steps ahead of the relevant information required to pierce the darkness obliterating the light that will make you see the challenges as stepping stones.

Do Not Give Up on God

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

What does it mean to give up on God? To give up on God is as good as walking out on God or walking away completely from God because you are convinced that God did not come through for you, will not come through for you. Beloved, the truth and reality is that God always comes through for His own even when the answer He gives is NO. You may not understand the reasons for His NO because you cannot see beyond now. But God sees beyond now to eternity and forever. He therefore has very cogent reasons for saying NO or even WAIT.

God loves you and has great plans including resources for fulfilling the plans He has for you. However, God unveils the strategies one step at a time and sometimes you may not even understand as some strategies may appear to be working against you. Take for instance the case of Joseph who was sold into slavery by his siblings. Unknown to both Joseph and his siblings then, slavery in Egypt was one of the steeping stones to actualizing Joseph’s global leadership goal. How about when he was eventually thrown into prison for no just cause? Unknown to Potiphar’s wife, Potiphar and even Joseph himself, that was the final rung on the ladder to the palace. Can you imagine what would have happened if Joseph gave up on God? He may have missed the coming glory which appeared elusive considering the very unpleasant circumstances he found himself in yet was very close. Just a little patience coupled with absolute faith in God and Joseph made it to the top.

How about King David of Israel? Severally, David could have given up on God on account of the extenuous circumstances that constantly assailed him such as the several threats to his young life by King Saul that rendered him homeless for years( he had to seek refuge in the land of the Philistines). When Saul eventually died, there was a long feud between David and the house of Saul until God eventually gave David victory and established him as King in Israel. How about his travails at the hands of his son Absalom, the treachery by his trusted friend Ahitophel; and the subsequent humiliation by Shimei (a close relation of the late King Saul who rejoiced at Absalom’s treatment of David); and who rained curses on David and pillaged him and his entourage with stones? In all of these, David did not give up on God. He was steadfast, stayed true to God and was eventually vindicated by God.

Unmask You

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

To succeed, the real you has to come to the fore. The real you is God’s original design of you created to fulfill His divine plans and purposes for your life. The following questions may guide you into identifying that you if answered truthfully.

Whose dreams and visions are you interpreting and for what purpose?
Whose ideas are you implementing and for what purpose?
What drives you – your dreams and visions coupled with a desire to excel; or the desire to please and impress other people by deploying your energy and resources to service their dreams and visions while yours are left fallow?

Do you desire greatness or servitude? The choice is actually yours. 
Who is God to you?
Have you identified your purpose in life or you are hoping it will fall on you like a bag of cherries?
Do you have a trajectory for your life?
What do you hope to be remembered for in the next ten years?
What does the gift of time mean to you?

Build and Enhance Your Capacity for Success

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Success does not fall on anyone like a bag of cherries. It is also not a catch phrase to be thrown around. Success comes by being engaged in divine purposes that are built,  enhanced and consolidated over a period of time.

Every vision or idea is a function of capacity. That is to say that capacity precedes the implementation of every idea or vision. For every assignment, there must be relevant capacity from heaven to carry out the task. This is because visions are driven on the basis of capacity and not passion. Passion is not a substitute for capacity as a lack of capacity will show up in capacity gaps as you implement your ideas or vision without adequate capacity.


A person’s capacity acquired or received is a measure of a person’s gifted ability to perform a task or assignment. Therefore, always evaluate your capacity to midwife a vision or assignment to a successful end. Have sufficient capacity before embarking on implementation. If you discover that you lack capacity, or your capacity requires strengthening then be willing to put your vision on hold until you have sufficient capacity to midwife the vision. It is a misconception to think that capacity comes with the vision. The vision comes and then you receive the capacity to implement the vision by beginning a process of capacity acquisition through capacity building and strengthening activities based on your capacity evaluation. Please see Luke Chapter 14 verse 28.

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?

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.
