They said, the hill country is not enough for us, and the Canaanites in the lowlands around Bethshan and the valley of Jezreel have iron chariots – they are too strong for us. Then Joshua said to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, the descendants of Joseph, since you are so large and strong, you will be given more than one portion. The forests of the hill country will be yours as well. Clear as much of the land as you wish and live there. And I am sure you can drive out the Canaanites from the valleys, too even though they are strong and have iron chariots. Joshua Chapter 17 verses 16 to 18, NLT.

Now Jacob took for himself rods of green poplar and of the almond and chestnut trees, peeled white strips in them, and exposed the white which was in the rods. And the rods which he had peeled, he set before the flocks in the gutters, in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink, so that they should conceive when they came to drink. So the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted. Then Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the streaked and all the brown in the flock of Laban; but he put his own flocks by themselves and did not put them with Laban's flock. And it came to pass, whenever the stronger livestock conceived, that Jacob placed the rods before the eyes of the livestock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.  But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put them in; so the feebler were Laban's and the stronger Jacob's. Thus the man became exceedingly prosperous, and had large flocks, female and male servants, and camels and donkeys.  Genesis Chapter 30 verses 37 to 43, NKJV.

Always add a touch of class, a touch of beauty, prestige, good taste, sophistication and appeal to whatever you do or won. That gives it aesthetic appeal, posh and power as well as great monetary value.

Enhance your skillset and if need be, expand them. Expand and heighten your knowledge base. Associate with value – people who will give you the required leverages you need to get to where you should be.

Always respect the awesome sanctifying Holy Presence of the Holy Spirit in your life at all times.

Make Bible reading, Bible study, worship, prayer, fellowship with God a part of you so that it becomes second nature to you. You do it because it is what you have to do; like breathing in air. It is not doing it because of the attendant blessings or fear of being punished by God if you do not do it. It becomes the very air you breathe.

No tattling – there is no need for it. It is not necessary. Rather, MEDITATE on the WORD of GOD. This means that you should always have a very RICH DEPOSIT of the WORD of God in your heart. Beloved, FFED, ALWAYS FEED FAT on the WORD of GOD and ASK the HOLY SPIRIT to help you understand the WORD of GOD. Spend and invest quality time doing this every day.

Walk in divine wisdom. No more trying to outpace or outrun the enemy and his cohorts in your own strength. Remember the story of the hare and the tortoise. Allow the enemy and his cohorts to wear themselves out warring while you nestle in God, the Man of war, the Lord Who is strong and  mighty in battle, Who does not lose any battle. Always remember that the battle is the Lord’s.

Mind your business so that you can make meaningful progress in life. Busy body and meddling do not take anyone anywhere. Even if you are blessed with the gift of pointing people in the right direction, do so only as you are led by the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, keep mum.

Flee every appearance of sin – you do not need it no matter who is involved. Choose God’s ways and timing at all times. That way, you will not grieve the Holy Spirit and sin against God.

Avoid conflicts as much as possible. You do not need them especially the ones designed to make you unhappy and despondent.

Accomplish Great Things

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God is the only One Who does great things and He will do great things for you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. He will definitely help you to accomplish great things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, follow Christ and not people, not a person, not an ideology, opinion, or belief systems that are contrary to Christ. Following Christ will lead you to and give you salvation, redemption, deliverance, sanctification, justification. It will give you guidelines and direction for living a truly fulfilled life in Christ Jesus. You need Christ at all times to clear your mental processes of all fogs so that you can see clearly to walk in divine direction at all times.

Walking in divine direction will help you access the hidden riches of secret places, the right information as to where the secret places are. Significantly, such information must come from God as wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Please read Hosea Chapter 4 verse 6, Isaiah Chapter 5 verse 13, Proverbs Chapter 8, Daniel Chapters 2 verses 16 to 23 and 1 verse 17.

Jesus Chris is the light that is required to access whatever treasures are in the dark. The light required is the light of God to give clear specific direction – John Chapters 1 verses 1 to 9; 12 verses 35 to 36, 44 to 46.

Take directions from God, the Holy Spirit and His Word. Do not permit people or circumstances to give you direction. Let God alone give you direction and you will get to your Canaan. If Hannah had allowed Peninah to give her direction, she would have remained a wailing woman, who would probably die childless but because she took direction from God, she became a mother of children. If teenage David had allowed lofty boastful words of Goliath to give him direction, he would have become paralyzed by fear like the army of Israel who set out to fight the Philistines but lost their confidence because of the boasts and taunts of Goliath.

You are Chosen 2

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Because you are chosen, God will grant you the grace to always walk in divine wisdom and walking in divine wisdom has great benefits.

The Proceeds of Wisdom and Understanding

The fear of God, the decision to always honor God and do what pleases God is the gateway to wisdom. Joseph for instance refused to play the filthy sinful games of Potiphar’s wife because he feared God. That was his wisdom which eventually took him to the peak of divine purpose. Please read Genesis Chapters 39 to 41 and Deuteronomy Chapter 4 verses 1 to 49.

Wisdom is a by product of understanding and understanding comes from the Word of God – Psalm 119 verse 130, 105, 99 to 100, 104, 144, and 169. It is also the fear of God as stated in Proverbs Chapter 9 verse 10 and Job Chapter 28 verse 28 and the fear of the Lord is to hate evil (Proverbs Chapter 8 verse 13).

Proverbs Chapter 3 verses 13 to 35, Deuteronomy Chapter 4 verses 4 to 10

Length of days in her right hand – verse 16, Proverbs Chapter 10 verse 27, 9 verses 10 to 11.

Riches and honor in her left hand – verse 16, LEVITICUS Chapter 26 verses 3 to 10

Her ways are pleasant – verse 17

All her paths are peace – verse 17, Ezekiel Chapter 34 verses 24 to 31

A tree of life to those who take hold of her – verse 18

Happy are those who retain her – verse 18. The key word here is those who retain her. To be happy, you have to walk in wisdom and understanding at all times all the days of your life. It is not a one off activity but daily.

Life to your soul – verse 22

Grace to your neck – verse 22

You will walk safely – verse 23; Your foot will not stumble.

You will not be afraid when you lie down (verse 24, Leviticus Chapter 26 verses 3 to 8, Ezekiel Chapter 34 verses 24 to 31). Therefore your sleep will be sweet (Leviticus Chapter 26 verse 24, Ezekiel Chapter 34 verses 24 to 31).

You will be at peace with all men; (Romans Chapters 12 verse 18, 9 verses 15 to 18, Matthew Chapter 5 verse 9, and Hebrews Chapter 12 verse 14). Some peacemakers in the Bible include Abigail in 1^st Samuel Chapter 25. She brokered peace between David and Nabal; and stopped David from unnecessary bloodshed.

Relationships and Success

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Relationships are pivotal to success. However, not all relationships engender success as some relationships actually work against success. The case of Samson and Delilah is a classic example of how certain relationships work against success. Samson was born for great exploits, to keep the Philistines in check so Israel could live in peace and prosper. Samson excelled at this task and no Philistine, not even multitudes of them could tame Samson. Unfortunately, Samson fell in love with what was destined to destroy him. Unknown to Samson, Delilah had no interest in him other than what she stood to gain from the Philistines who had promised her great rewards if she could sell Samson to them. Therefore, because of his ungodly liaison with Delilah, Samson embarked on a self-destructive mission based on his frequent visits to Delilah in Delilah’s house.

Characteristics of Delilah’s house

It is a valley where a person decreases from God’s best. Delilah’s house never brings increase to a man. It is therefore the pit of life. – Proverbs Chapter 6 verse 26, 7 verses 16, 27, Judges Chapter 16 verses 12 to 42.

It is characterized by lies and deception, a deceptive place where people lose grace and God’s unction on their lives because they paid attention to the lies of Delilah.

It is a way to hell and a place of captivity where enemies lie in wait. Unknown to Samson, the Philistines were lying in wait for him right where he thought he was safe with Delilah. Unfortunately, that was where the indefatigable and unusually strong Samson who could not be tamed by any man was captured.

It is a place where a man loses his vision. The eyes of Samson were gouged out and he became blind. But beyond the physical blindness was his loss of vision and unction to function as God would have him function. Please read Judges Chapter 16 verse 21.

It is a place devoid of the presence of God, a place where a man loses strength and purpose. God does not dwell in lies and deception. This calls for caution especially if people you relate with or institutions you partner with do not give a hoot about lies and deception.

It is also a place of defeat – Judges Chapter 16 verse 20. Samson won every battle against the Philistines until he entered Delilah’s valley of loss and began to lose every battle.

It is a place of pain and torture. Samson suffered great pain, torture and humiliation at the hands of the Philistines. He became less of what God designed him to be (Judges Chapter 16 verse 19).

Relationships which drain you of virtue are no go relationships. So also are relationships with ignorant people who refuse to acquire knowledge, who despise knowledge and prefer to live and act in ignorance. You cannot make any progress in life with such people, especially if they are vindictive, superstitious and are in the habit of pulling down structures built by other people. Avoid discussions with anyone who is opposed to your progress and always wishes you evil. If only Samson knew that Delilah wished him evil. He probably would have fled for his life.

Beloved, let go off relationships which do not add value to your life. I also suggest that you pray this prayer.

Father, please help me identify the relationships to hold on to and the ones to let go off in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Thank You for answered prayers Lord in Jesus mighty name, Amen.
