Get Your Eyes off Yourself

By Adenuga Sunday Joseph

What you see has a lot to do with what you get in life, and this has a lot to do with your destiny. Seeing is so important that it is impossible to get anything in this life without first seeing it in your mind. This may be a conscious effort or an unconscious effort, but the truth is that nobody gets anything without first seeing it.

When God called Moses, he couldn’t do much because he focused only on himself, not on God, so he asked several questions, he even asked God to send somebody else. In Exodus 7:1 God spoke to Moses, “…See, I have made thee a god to pharaoh…” Meaning that God was saying, get your eyes off yourself; get them off your weakness; get them off the enemy’s power; and focus on my words.

When you focus on yourself, you will see weakness, failure, defeat, inadequacy, and shame. Why? No one is perfect, you cannot afford to focus on those imperfections, and they will lead you to more failure in life. Those who focus on themselves always experience poverty and death. You are not to focus on the mountains of problems either, you are more than the problems of life; you are more than the pains you are passing through. Stop allowing these things to rule you or dictate your pace in life. It is time you stopped complaining about what you do not have and start believing God for them, and start seeing them as if you have them already.

Let’s learn from Moses and see how he complained before God even before he commenced the assignment given to him by God.

Number one, Moses complained to God when he was called and said “…who am I that I should go to Pharaoh…” Exodus 3:11 he was looking at his inability instead of looking at the ability of Him who has called him. Do not look at yourself; the Bible says “looking unto Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith.”

The second complaint of Moses was this, “…What shall I say unto them?” Exodus 3:13. Speak the word of God to your circumstances, say I shall not die, speak the word of God and say, I shall not fail. Say good things no matter what happens, even when you are dying say the things that you desire to happen and it will happen. Never say anything that when it happens you will not be happy. Moses said, “What shall I say to them?” Do not ask that kind of question, say to them (your troubles), I shall overcome, I am more than conquerors.

The third complaint of Moses was this, “…But behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice…” Exodus 4:1-9. To you I proclaim that you should go and do what God says. Speak to your problems, they will obey you; speak to your situation, don’t speak about it, speak to it. When you speak about it, you are telling people the facts of the matter, but when you speak to it, you are telling it what you want it to do to you. When you say, “I don’t have money” you are speaking about your situation. But when you say, “But my God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” then you are speaking to your situation. Do you get what I am saying?

The fourth complaint of Moses was this, “…I am not eloquent…” Exodus 4:10-12. The reply of God is very clear to him and to us now, God said, “I will be thy mouth” you have to understand that God doesn’t save by anybody’s eloquence. However you speak, God hears you and will respond to your words in due time, make sure you speak when it is convenient and when it is not. Your words are seeds, they are not wasted, and they work even as God’s word works.

The fifth complaint made by Moses was very bloody; very bad, hear it “…O my Lord, send I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.”
Never tell God he made a mistake to create you or call you.
Never tell God to leave you and look for someone else.
Never tell God you cannot do what He has called you to do.
Never tell God you are too weak to obey Him.
God became very angry with him as a result of this foolish reaction. Moses lost something of value for making this mistake, God had to look for Aaron to come and help, Aaron eventually became the high priest and his sons forever. Moses’ children became disqualified; their names were not even heard. Be very careful not to complain before God, it has far reaching implications.

The sixth complaint was understandable because pharaoh has increased the burdens of the people of Israel instead of releasing them, so Moses complained before God, read it in Exodus 5:22, 23
“And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Lord, wherefore has thou so evil entreated this people? Why is it that thou hast sent me?”
He queried God’s call upon his life because of temporary failure. This is a warning to you, in life, there will always be a time of temporary failure, never look back or complain when you fail. David said, “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil” Temporary defeat is not equal to failure.
Please note this truth, the fact that God has called you, or told you to do that thing does not mean that you will not face challenges and failure. There will always be problems, difficult tasks, but you will overcome at last. When the going get tough, look unto Jesus. Stop looking unto yourself; you will fail more when your focus is on you.

The seventh complaint was the last; it taught Moses how to focus and what to see. In Exodus 6:30 we read,
“And Moses said before the Lord, behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall pharaoh hearken unto me?”
God gave him a powerful answer, He said, “See, I have made thee a god to pharaoh.” It is the same thing God is saying to you today, “behold, I have made thee a god to all your problems.”

Every one of us makes the complaints highlighted above, and the reason we do is that we never got our eyes off ourselves; we refuse to see what God wants us to see; we magnify the problems more than God’s ability in us. The moment God told Moses to begin to see himself as a god; he never gave another complaint in his life afterwards. He moved as a general that he was, he spoke with boldness, and he shook pharaoh and all Egypt with his words.
See yourself too as a god to all your problems

The Power of Honesty

By Adenuga Sunday Joseph


A successful business man was growing old and
knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business.

Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children,
he decided to do something different. He called all the young
executives in his company together.

He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO.
I have decided to choose one of you. "The young executives were
shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one
of you a SEED today - one very special SEED. I want you to plant
the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with
what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then
judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be
the next CEO."

One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others,
received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the
story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted
the seed. Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had
grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began
to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.

Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.

Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing.

By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have
a plant and he felt like a failure.

Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he
had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but
he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however.
He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the
seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company
brought their plants to the CEO for inspection.

Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot.
But she asked him to be honest about what happened. Jim felt sick
to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment
of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot
to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety
of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful --
in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and
many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!

When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young
executives.

Jim just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees,
and flowers you have grown," said the CEO. "Today one of you will
be appointed the next CEO!"

All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with
his empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to
the front. Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a
failure! Maybe he will have me fired!"

When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened
to his seed - Jim told him the story.

The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim,
and then announced to the young executives, "Behold your next
Chief Executive Officer!

His name is Jim!" Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow
his seed.

"How could he be the new CEO?" the others said.

Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this
room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it,
and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds;
they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow.

All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and
flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you
substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Jim was the
only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with
my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new
Chief Executive Officer!"

* If you plant honesty, you will reap trust

* If you plant goodness, you will reap friends

* If you plant humility, you will reap greatness

* If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment

Secrets Of Making Wealth

By Adenuga Sunday Joseph

You have to realize the fact that if conscious effort and plan is not made, amassing great wealth is not possible in this world. If you don’t have any plan to make money, you will never be rich.

Important points to note: If you truly want to become wealthy, then it is advisable for you to note the following points.

Choose your friends with care, your friends’ matters. Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are, this is a very popular proverb which I love. Friends that you keep can influence your ability to make wealth.

Gifts will not (and cannot) make you wealthy. If you want to be wealthy, you must graduate from going to friends and family to beg for things in other to survive. Living on people will not make you wealthy, no matter how rich your benefactor is. Get out and work with your hand, get alone and allow divine ideas to flow, make use of these ideas that God is bringing to your mind.

Save money anytime you collect your salary or wages. The best way to get capital for your future business is to save money now, a minimum of 10% of your income is recommended. Your savings should be in a savings account or a fixed deposit account as the case may be. You have to resolve never to fall back on these savings for daily needs and expenditure, but see it as a savings meant for your future business. You only draw from it for business purposes, meaning for investment that will yield greater profit and make you more money.

Invest in shares of viable companies. Buying shares is a very powerful means of saving money in such a way that your money will be employed to work for you to make more money for you. Somebody said, “The rich doesn’t work for money but money works for him.” When you invest in viable shares, you are simply making you money to become your slave, working for you to make more money while you sleep and do almost nothing. Real wealth is having money to work for you while you have enough time to actually enjoy the money. Many Chief Executive Officers do have a lot of money but have no time to really enjoy their money. When you invest in shares, your money works for you while you make more money; you have enough time to enjoy it.
Venture into viable business. Salary or wages cannot make you rich; wealth comes from doing business and not from receiving salary. Doing your own business is the beginning of wealth creation. What type of business can you do to make you wealth? Any business that you love; that you are passionate about; that you are gifted in. Wealth is not a product of any particular business; it is a product of a man who is determined to make it. I have seen shoe makers fold up their businesses, as a result of bankruptcy, at the same time, some other shoe makers are making so much wealth that they became colossus in this world. So it is not the business that brings wealth it is the man behind the business. It is true that the business is important, the man behind it is more important. There is no business under the sun that does not have the potentiality of making you a millionaire. Many are flocking to oil and gas, or telecommunications and some are making it, while some are failing. You are more important than the business; it is not the business that prospers it is the man behind it that makes it prosper.

Miracle or Magic

By Adenuga Sunday Joseph

Miracle is the supernatural intervention of God in the ordinary course of life; it is beyond human calculations, predictions and manipulations. No science of any sort can explain it is God at work, it defiles logic or reasoning, it beats every human imagination.

Miracle is different from magic because magic employs the use of the mind, hallucinations and illusions, you can study and learn the art of magic. Magic follows a certain pattern of occurrence but miracle does not. Nobody can study or fully understand how a miracle happens, when it will happen and the pattern it will take. This is so because the miracle of healing one blind man may be very different from how it will occur in healing another blind man in the same venue of occurrence.

You can understand the workings of magic but nobody can understand the workings of a true miracle. This is true because God Himself alone is the One that works miracles, but magic is worked by man, it is a science and as I mentioned earlier, anyone can learn to become a magician.

Bible examples of miracles

If you read 11Kings 4: 1-7, you will learn about the story of a widow woman whose husband, the breadwinner died untimely and was heavily indebted to her husband’s creditors who threatened to take away her sons, the collaterals that were used in obtaining the loans. This woman cried to the man of God, Elisha who performed the miracle of multiplication of oil. This was a miracle no science of this day can explained, it was supernatural, and you can’t beat that.

Jesus attended a wedding at Cana of Galilee, the wine got finished, they needed a miracle fast, and the story is in John 2: 3-11. The miracle of all miracles happened when Jesus Christ the son of the Living God turned water into wine before their very eyes, can you beat that?

11Kings 6:25-30, 7:1, 2, 16-20. We read here the situation in Samaria when there was a very severe famine or inflation, it was difficult to survive, and people were already killing their children and eating them as food because of the severity of the lack in the entire nation. Suddenly the man of God, Elisha declared that, “by this time of tomorrow, there shall be surplus in the land, people thought that he was crazy, but it happened because God Himself was the One involved in working that miracle.

The Bible is full of occurrences of miracles, read your Bible and see God in action. I have experienced many miracles, God have used me many times to perform unimaginable miracles. God have used me, by merely asking me to speak words of authority into some situations and I have seen God work His wonders. I have seen so many barren women conceive and gave birth to children, my friend, miracles are real, they still occur. You can witness a miracle in your life too; the starting point is to give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. It is as simple as that.

Importance of miracles:

Miracles are very important to accomplish God’s work in this world to convince the gainsayers and those in doubt that God is real. Some will not believe if they do not see miracles. Miracle can deliver to your hand what you may have been struggling to achieve for many years without success. Miracle is a sign that God is with us, it is very important to silence the onslaught of the devil or enemies; it keeps their mouths shut because it is a stamp of God’s approval upon our lives.

How to enjoy the flow of the miraculous:

• Note that miracles happens in the atmosphere of worship, to experience miracles, you must cultivate the habit of constantly worshiping the Lord in your church and in your privacy.
• Loving the Lord with all your heart causes a wave of miracles to begin to happen in your life and ministry. Our Lord Jesus Christ said we should seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things shall be added to us.
• Study of the word of god with understanding in the spirit brings about the workings of miracles see John 1: 1-5, 14 the word of god is the work of God, it is the miracle of God. God commanded us to attend to His word see Proverbs 4: 20-23
• Purposeful personal prayer life creates a life full of the miraculous; prayer gives us a voice in the heavens, and gives us respect in the kingdom of darkness. Prayer produces power; a prayerful Christian is a powerful Christian.
• Faith is a very important ingredient in performing any miracle on earth, have faith in God. Faith believes the word of God, it is also working according to the word of God. Faith calls those things that are not as though they were Romans 4: 17-22. Faith says God has done it, or I have it now, or I am rich or blessed. As a matter of fact, faith sees beyond the NOW.
