What happens when yesterday’s breakthrough becomes today’s baseline? In this session of The Wheat Transition, we explore why transition sometimes requires us to release standards, structures and even successes that God once used. Israel could not live beside the Red Sea. The bronze serpent could not remain sacred forever. And Paul could be grateful for what was behind while still pressing toward w...

THE WHEAT TRANSITION | SESSION TWO: THE CROSSING You Cannot Take the Old System Into the New SeasonTransition is not the old thing running better. It is becoming something the other side can use! In this episode of Business Unusual, Charles & Susan explore the crossing from Barley to Wheat—a prophetic picture of moving from one season, system, and economy into another. From the fifty-day journ...

THE WHEAT TRANSITION – PART 1When a Prophetic Word Becomes an AssignmentA prophetic word is not merely a promise to celebrate—it is divine intelligence that requires repositioning! In this episode of Business Unusual, Charles & Susan unpack the four prophetic declarations released over TCC: the eagles have healed, we are at a tipping point, the wheat harvest has begun, and the eleventh-hour wo...

THE FREQUENCY OF THE KINGDOM: Tuning into Heaven’s BlueprintHeaven is not silent — the question is whether we are tuned in. In this teaching, we explore how spiritual sensitivity, renewed thinking, faith, stillness, meditation, worship, prophetic imagination and gratitude position us to receive Heaven’s strategies and divine instruction. Revelation 4:1 declares, “Come up here…” — an invitation int...

There are seasons when it feels like we’ve lost the plot—when God seems silent, distant, or even indifferent. But when Scripture says, “And God remembered…”, it does not mean He forgot. The Hebrew word zakar speaks of divine action—God stepping into history to fulfill covenant, activate promise, release mercy, and advance His prophetic agenda. From Noah in the ark, to Israel in Egypt, to Rachel’s...

POVERTY: CONDITION, MINDSET OR CHOICE?Jesus said, “The poor you will always have with you.” But does that mean poverty is inevitable? In this episode of Business Unusual, we distinguish between poverty as a condition and the mindset that can create, sustain, and sometimes even choose it. We explore how unresolved pressures shape poor decisions, how poverty can become internalized, and how the Word...

THE SONS OF THIS WORLD ARE WISER…In this episode of Business Unusual, Charles & Susan unpack one of Jesus’ most provocative parables in Luke 16:1–13 — the story of the unjust steward. Why would Jesus commend a man described as unjust? Because while Jesus was not endorsing dishonesty, He was highlighting something Kingdom people often lack: strategic foresight. The steward recognized that his p...

In this episode of Business Unusual, Charles and Susan continue the call to “Awake the mighty men—prepare for war!”This is not a call to physical warfare, but to Kingdom function in the marketplace. The season of preparation must now produce manifestation. The ploughshare must become a sword, and the pruning hook must become a spear. What God has taught, formed and developed within us must now bec...

Business Unusual is more than a metaphor—it is a call to prepared Kingdom people to arise and function. Following the restoration, outpouring, dreams, visions and prophecy of Joel 2 comes the urgent command of Joel 3:9–10:“Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men… Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’”This is not a call to physical vio...

As we enter into the next phase of Kingdom Impact, it is of significant importance that we have a clear understanding of what the Kingdom is. Phrase like the “Kingdom of God” and the “Kingdom of Heaven” which mean literally the same thing like two sides of the same coin, are now so often used that the true meaning of these terms may actually be lost in their “normalization”Matthew 24:14 14 And thi...

HE HIDDEN ONES: GOD’S ARROWHEADSBeing hidden does not mean you have been forgotten—it may mean you are being sharpened, polished and prepared for divine timing. In this teaching, we explore how God forms His sons and daughters in seasons of obscurity before entrusting them with Kingdom influence. Anointing may open doors, but only maturity, character and obedience can keep them open. Like an arrow...

THE THREE RESOURCES REQUIRED FOR KINGDOM WEALTH AND ADVANCEKingdoms advance through the harmonious integration of three essential resources: spiritual power, capable people, and economic capacity. The spiritual resource reveals the King’s intent. The human resource interprets that intent and translates it into action. The economic resource supplies what is required to establish, expand and sustain...

Faith has an order, a structure and a process. In Part 2, we explore how belief, trust, knowledge, peace and action work together to produce measurable outcomes and increased capacity. Faith begins with a proceeding Word from God, but it must mature through every component until it transforms what once required faith into your new normal. Discover how to strengthen your faith, sustain your victori...

Faith is more than believing—it is a spiritual principle that produces capacity. In this teaching, we unpack five essential components of faith: belief, trust, knowledge, peace and action. Discover how a proceeding Word from God produces faith, why faith sometimes appears ineffective, and how acting upon what God has spoken transforms today’s victories into tomorrow’s new normal. When you operate...

Where have you placed the sole of your foot? God promised Joshua, “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you.” But possession required more than physically walking on the land. The twelve spies entered Canaan, yet their mentality never possessed what God had promised. In this Business Unusual teaching, discover how meditation renews the mind, changes what we see and p...

Why do people hear the same Word, live in similar environments, yet experience drastically different outcomes? In this teaching, we examine poverty mentality versus wealth mentality—not merely as a financial issue, but as a form of spiritual warfare fought in the mind. Through redemption, Jesus paid the full price to reconcile us to God and restore our access to the Kingdom. Through salvation, we...

“Give, and it will be given to you” is about far more than money. In Luke 6:27–42, Jesus reveals the law of the measure: whatever we release—judgment or mercy, condemnation or forgiveness, criticism or honour—returns to us multiplied. In this teaching, discover how your heart posture and the measure you use shape your relationships, emotional atmosphere, and spiritual harvest. You do not merely li...

Does God ever forget? Throughout Scripture, the phrase “And God remembered…” does not mean God had forgotten. The Hebrew word zakar reveals God turning His active attention toward a person, covenant, promise or prophetic purpose. In this teaching, discover how divine remembrance produces intervention, deliverance and fulfilment—and why the work God began in you cannot fail. We have entered a seaso...

What if God has never been absent—and the real issue is how we have been conditioned to perceive Him? In this powerful teaching, “The Absence of Presence,” we explore how religion, culture, fear, and family conditioning can shape our understanding of God, faith, prayer, and the Kingdom. You’ll also get a glimpse inside the MIND GYM and MASTERCLASSES—transformational training environments designed...

Welcome to the Cyrus Community—this is Business Unusual. In this episode, Charles and Susan explore the Money-Making Mindset: understanding how money flows toward solutions, innovation, and improved quality of life. Money is currency—it thrives through movement. It moves from people to solutions and multiplies wherever meaningful problems are solved. The question is not simply, “Where is the money...

What happens when the generation you were born into becomes the ceiling of who you can become? Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and Alpha may appear to be harmless social categories, but these labels can become mental boundaries. People begin to define themselves by generational stereotypes rather than by God’s design, calling, and purpose. In this teaching, we uncover:• The Generation Trap• Ho...

Why do some people only change under pressure, while others move forward through conviction, discipline, and faith? In this teaching, we explore three dominant mindsets found within the Kingdom community: the Mule, the Sheep, and the Horse. The mule represents potential trapped in resistance. The sheep represents teachability limited by comfort and dependency. The horse represents formation, respo...

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE – ONLY BELIEVEUnlocking the Power of Belief in the Mind GymWhat if the impossible is not waiting for more effort, but for a shift in what you believe? In this teaching, Charles Opiyo explores the powerful words of Jesus in Mark 9:23:“If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”This is not just motivation. It is a Kingdom principle. Belief is not hype —...

The Frequency of the Kingdom: Tuning Into Heaven’s BlueprintHeaven is not silent. God is always speaking, releasing wisdom, strategy, direction, and divine blueprints. The real question is not whether Heaven is broadcasting — the question is whether we are tuned in. In this teaching, we explore how to align our inner world with the frequency of the Kingdom by bringing our thoughts, emotions, faith...
