Everyone who aspires to be rich and enjoys rest should pray this prayer that God should take away from their flesh all corrupt principles, practices, and affections, from error and mistake, which are at the bottom of all sin, from the love of the world and the things of it, which are all vanity and a lie.
Before we begin to search for riches through any vocation it is expedient that we first sort God for wisdom. Before we go into labor for wealth we must first seek the favor of God.
Every other means of getting rich apart from God's way will land men in trouble. Trusting In the lord is key to having sustainable riches.

The kind of love that will not allow someone to do anything to hurt others or a system by stealing from them is genuine love. Not selfish but kind. Not self-promoting but helping others to do well.
An act of stealing proceeds from the heart but when the heart is occupied with the right attitude to work the space for theft-related thought will not be available.
to be contented is a state of being happy with your present financial status and being hopeful that things shall surely get better.

When someone begins to feel deprived financially. He will steal if the opportunity comes. When anyone begins to think that what they should own is what others have in their possession. When anyone begins to think it's their right to be in a state of affluence that others are, then they begin to open the door of their heart to the evil of theft.
Sometimes most people who assume they are making money the right way are stealing from others but because they are used to the style they assume that's a legitimate way of making money.
Vows are good but we need to be careful of how we apply them in prayer, especially in times of distress.
Many are struggling financially today because of their inability to redeem the vow that they have made to God or a man who had been of help to them in the season of their trials.
Many today pay tax, pay landlords, pay for electricity, pay food, pay toll, pay internet, and lots more but refuse to give God what He deserves.
Most of the fear we have is what eventually attracted greater evil to us. Losing money to a business or losing a job is not the end but the end will come when we begin to exercise fear of what tomorrow will bring because of the loss.
At every point in life, some things will cause fear but there is a peace that comes when we realize that our fear cannot and will not solve the problem.
There are stories of beautiful and wealthy women who enter the trap of scammers by sending their nude pictures to young boys online because they think they are both in love.

Whatever we are privileged to have and whatever position God allows us to rise to in life we should always remember to be of help and not oppress those who are lower in opportunity and standard and look up to us in one area or the other. This will keep God's blessing and increase flow in our direction.
When you stand against an opportunity that will help other people's lives just because it's not favorable to you, you are oppressing the poor.
When you stand against an opportunity that will help other people's lives just because it's not favorable to you, you are robbing the poor.
To every resource that God brings or will bring your way, there is a portion for the poor in it. God already makes provision for the poor within the financial resources allowed to come into your hands.
Gain is good but when it is in excess because of greed it becomes a means of oppression.
When you hired people to work for you either temporarily or long term but you keep denying them their salary or wages at the appointed time. You are robbing the poor and oppressing the afflicted.
When those who suppose to protect the helpless become the oppressor there will be no hope for life among the lowly.
Those who know by experience miseries of poverty should be compassionate to those who suffer the like.
That a person is rich today does not equal being rich every day. There is no permanent worldly rich man. Riches do diminish. It can reduce in value due to certain things
Thoroughly understanding your business and also your assignment in that business or vocation is very important to your success in that business or vocation.
Starting a business to make money is not good enough. Knowing the ways of that business will do you a whole lot of favor in the long run.

The fig tree in the proverb represents all forms of vocation that we can be doing right now. it takes a fig tree between 3 to 5 years before it starts fruiting. The same goes for any vocation we are or might be thinking of starting.
Most of those who learn to be generous early in life especially when they have little will not have problems with contentment as their wealth increases.
The burden of a materialistic mentality will weigh down those who have it sooner or later. They will soon discover that there is a point of diminishing returns. At some point, the value of our possessions is not worth the price we pay to have them.
When you always deem it fit to appreciate God for the small things in life your sense of satisfaction will always be awakened.
The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never content, because they’re always yearning and striving for that extra 1 telling to themselves: “Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life.”
Contentment is not the fulfillment of all you need or want but the joy and peace that comes with how much you already have.
Contentment and being grateful are twin brothers. Longing to acquire more without always counting your blessing to see how far God has brought you is a sign of ingratitude and it will lead to a life of pressure and anxiety.
Contentment is the seed of more achievement but covetousness will expose a life to danger and unnecessary trouble.
it is good to learn from your experience of failure it is not always good to wait until you fail before you learn how to do things right.
Experience is a good teacher to a heart that is ready to learn. Only a person who is ready to learn will be able to gain wisdom from experience but those whose heart is full of foolishness will ignore the lesson of experience to repeat the same pitfall.
Those who know how to lose money to knowledge will always gain more money through applied knowledge.
Mentors and teachers know what we don't know. They have the experience we don't have. we must learn to respect their knowledge-based faculty to be able to draw wisdom and instruction that will help us succeed in life from them.
Those who read the right books and implement what they've learned will be greater than those who wrote the books they've read.
We must all have adequate knowledge of the one who had created us to prosper here on earth. Though His ways are past finding out that we must continue to seek to have new knowledge of God every day. This is the first secret to a life of wisdom and understanding.
Those who seek to know will always remain known while those who lack the tenacity to learn but are presently known will soon cease to be known.
You can be rich by chance but you can only continue to be rich by wisdom and instruction.
To love pleasure for pleasure’s sake will introduce you to poverty. Indulging in a life of luxury will never make you wealthy.
Hastiness and diligence don't mix. Lasting results are a product of patience and persistence.
This third category of diligent people is the leader of the marketplace. They make their best moves in their brain and act them out to get what they want.
The thoughts of the [steadily] diligent tend only to plenteousness, but everyone impatient and hasty hastens only to want.
Big money is the reward for those who do their business with all diligence. it may take time and process of evolution but it will surely pay big later.
Failure should not be allowed to dictate our direction. We must know where we are going and he keep at it even amid huddles.
A man diligent in his business will surely stand before great people and not ordinary men.

The rich keep good old relationships by servicing them because they know the importance of having them and what they have contributed to their financial success story.
Whatever you use today and you don't care for is what will not be available to be used tomorrow. Any friendship you use and not service is a friendship you've abused.
Good friendship or relationship is a resource and not a decor. it's a tool and not for decoration. Every good tool must be used to maximize the potential it carries. So are good friends and relationships.
Every good friendship has the potential to move you forward. it has the strength to take you higher financially but you must know how to make use of friendship to get to where you are going in life.
Friendship is a gift of God that every living person needs to survive, stand, and be sustained in life. Friendship is one of the greatest secrets of the great. No greatness lasts without great friendship.
Some are bound to relocate because the new location is their place of increase while some are bound to stay back because their greener pasture is the location they presently reside in.
The most terrible punishment a person who long to have a better life and change of state financially can give to himself is to move to a location that is not his appointed location.
No one should continue to take pride in borrowing. No one should be at the mercy of the lender perpetually. we can all be free from debt if we can seek God's help and also sit down to plan our way out of the valley and shadow of debt.
Many reasons can make people borrow money but regardless of the reasons all borrowers are at the mercy of the lender till they pay back their debt.
it is part of the affliction of the poor that they must be trampled upon and part of their duty to serve the rich. Those who lack in life lie much at the mercy of those that have substance.
For anyone to sincerely help someone else who he did not know or have a close relationship with, it has to be from a compassionate heart.
What can you deduce from this story? who among these three people who came across this man who is in need can you call his neighbor? Two were his religious counterparts, Two were his countrymen and one wasn't.
For us to justify who the proverb refers to as a neighbor I will like to tell us or remind us of one of Jesus' parables. Thus parable captured the meaning of neighbor.
Most time it seems natural for us to care for and look after the well-being of family members and those who are related to us or had contributed in our way or another to our life. Therefore, we invest more into family and those whose relationship has profit our life to neglect another set of people who are not related to us by any special connection and contribution.
No giving leaves the giver the same same. Especially those who do it with a sincere heart.
Counsel can go a long way to deliver a foolish spender and help heavy debtors from the way of poverty.
None should be allowed to pose a threat to your comfort in line with your help towards them. Anyone of your siblings or relatives who is not receiving what you give with heartfelt gratitude doesn't deserve more than you've already given to them.
Joseph understood this mystery of showing mercy to the undeserving siblings and his act of love and mercy gave him a peaceful reign. He enjoyed rest among the Egyptians and his people.
Be ready to help your siblings from what God is giving to you regardless of their level of contribution to your life while growing up. Never be judgmental at this point. Don't use what any of them had done to hurt you in the past to judge them now. let God be the judge. Let the mercy of God flows through you to them. Because it is by God's mercy you've also attained and not by your efforts only.
When you noticed you are beginning to have it different financially among your siblings, know that the glory of God's blessing in that family is coming alive first through you. You have become the forerunner in that family and you must prepare the way for your siblings to enter into their place too.
No one takes good care of parents and fizzle out financially even when they are faced with challenges at some point, the prayer of their parents will bring them out and set them up again. Jacob received the blessing from Isaac because he prepared the food his father loved to eat. He left home with nothing except the blessing but he returned with a great family and resources.
You are not to withhold good from your spouse and children. They must be the first to enjoy the benevolence of your riches. Don't ignore their need to attend to other people's needs. God has blessed you because of them and he will yet increase you if you take care of them from what is presently available.
We do not have to wait until we are rich in millions before we will start to give to people in need around us. At each level of our financial growth, there must be a commitment to be of help to people.
To gain people's trust in business or relationships. You need to listen and work with feedback from customers and people around you. Don't discard any comment that is directed at your personality. Don't nullify it regardless of the approach or the way and manner in which it had been communicated.
Once it is evidence that you are wrong or behave in a way that you regret. Then stand up to your error and offer true transparency. The story of the food company I shared in this episode will inspire you.
Learn to put reputation above monetary gain. Money cannot buy a good reputation but a good reputation can open the door to financial abundance.
Use your word carefully. Your word is who you are when you are absent. People may not see your face always but will always remember what you said at a particular point in time.
We must all understand that what a brand is to a company is what reputation is to us. Reputation is a combination of what we are within and how we look on the outside (that is what people know us to be). When the two conflicts then reputation is in question.
Those that understand the value of a good reputation will choose it over and over again because money cannot buy it. it is a track record that must be built carefully even till we take our last breath.
What brings honor to life is the reputation a person has been able to build over time. A good reputation is an uncommon currency that can be traded when money and power fail. where money and power fail good reputation can rescue the person that possessed it from shame and failure.
No one can stop a man/woman that is self-motivated. They don't take no for an answer. When they fail in one way they learn and go create a new way to get things done.
Ants need no external drives to do duty. They are always up and doing every tune there is a call of duty. A self-motivated attitude is a must-have for everyone that desires financial freedom.
Don't waste human resources around you. Involve them and see the result of team spirit. Family is beyond blood relationships it also can bring the best out of you and make your vision achievable.
The power of teamwork is that it leverages the capacity and capability of several persons to execute a plan and this helps the project to be executed more excellently.
Ants are self-disciplined, tiny creatures. Everyone that will be financially free must emulate this attribute.
Ants are planners. They plan their life. They don't wait for others to do that for them. Everybody needs to learn planning culture from the ants and put their lives in order.
Humans are intellectual beings who can navigate life to success but they lack the internal will to do so, they need to be helped by an external force so their thought life can be repositioned to do the right thing of life at the right time.
My definition of 'perfect' doesn't connote someone without flaws but someone fit for the other person and also ready to adjust to his/her partner's soft and hardpoint based on divine wisdom.
We are creatures of choice we have the right to make decisions based on our judgemental capacity but I have discovered by experience and keen observation that those who make decisions based on divine counsel don't miss it in the area of marriage.
Riches and wealth are the rewards of those who allow divine vision to find expressions through them.
When we yield to Providence to allow the divine vision to flow into our mind and find expression on the earth, humanity will surely proclaim that God's will is been done on earth as it is in heaven.
No one goes to an unknown forest without a compass or a forest guide. No one will live life satisfactorily without following divine vision.
Nobody becomes tall by jumping up. Those that will be financially tall must be ready to grow into it.
Those that love riches than God can never be contented. But those whose heart is fixed on God will never be moved with little.
Only a few minutes of delay can cost a man his life, honour, and opportunities. Tomorrow is always the excuse of the lazy and refuge of the incompetent.
Though nature requires that human being sleeps but when we sleep at the time we are supposed to be awake to engage the task designed to promote our financial status, then sleep becomes an enemy of progress.
Never lose your peace, marriage, children, and relationship with God because of riches, it does not worth it in the end.
Industry is the way to preferment. Greatness does not happen by chance it come for those who have the heart of service.
There is dignity and profit in labour. Those who love it will be decorated with honour.
A man shall be satisfied by the product of his word and this will aid results in whatever he or she had laid his hand to do to make money.
He who does his her work rightly will be satisfied with riches but those who follow frivolity lack understanding and will bever have lasting riches.
Those who are greedy for gain are troublers of their own family but those who hate unrighteous gain will live in peace and their families will be blessed after them.
Proverb 1: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge that birth durable riches.
What comes out of the mouth of the poor, the needy, the widow, and orphans towards those who give to them can do great things.
When you give a gift to the poor they pronounce a blessing on you and God makes sure whatever they have said in prayer for you to come to pass.
The poor, the needy, the widow, and the fatherless are dear to God's heart. That's why He takes care of those who take care of them and keep what belongs to them.
Those who frown at being judged or evaluated on their performance have a great tendency to fail and lose everything.
Accountability also means being answerable for everything that pertains to the financial assets in your care.
The four pillars of quality decisions will be wasted efforts without a strategic plan in place on how to execute the quality decisions you've made.
A solid execution plan will help you to execute your plan, control the process and monitor the outcome of your decisions.
The quality decision process is not complete without the documentation of the results of thoughts/ideas that flood our minds while thinking and taking counsel from wise people and professionals.
Powerful counsel is another pillar of quality decisions. No one can make quality decisions on how to sustain financial assets without powerful counsel.
Quality decisions cannot be made or attained in a short time especially when it pertains to financial assets.
The quality decision will aid retention of assets while a hasty decision will lead to loss of valuable riches
Quality decision is the right path to retention of material riches. Those who make hasty decision about gifted assets tends to waste it at the end.
Gratitude changes little to much, it turns few to many, it retains riches by increasing it to more than enough.
"A fool and his money are soon parted" This is often true for heirs who failed to apply wisdom when inheritance is passed on to them.
One of the reasons why offspring waste financial heritage pass to them is because of lack of wisdom, foresight, and retention power.
Whatever our parents can pass on to us is worth being grateful for. No son or daughter has the right to condemn parents who have been able to train him or her. It is not scriptural and can attract ungodly pronouncements on that person.
Serving our parents must not be a contract, a deal, or for the demand of something. It must be sincere and pure. This is the way to the reception of their material riches with blessing.
Caring for one's parents in their older age is a route to happiness and they will be eager to pass on to us even their hidden treasures that no one knows about.
Service to Parents is another instrumental key to the reception of material-based inheritance from parents.
There is one thing to receive material riches there is another thing to enjoy and prosper with it in the longevity of life.
Honour means treating our parents as priceless entity in our lives not treating them as ordinary people.
Honour is an inevitable sacrifice every son or daughter of a family must offer to his/her parents to live long and enjoy all the riches that their parents will pass on to them.
Every act of disobedience to parents is a signal to the kind of life an offspring will lead with his/her parent's riches after what.
Obedience to parents in the vital areas of your life is a signal of how you will manage their material riches after it has been passed to you.
Never envy those who inherit material-based inheritance from their parents while you didn't. Always have it in mind that what your parents cannot pass on to due to incapability, you will pass on to your own children.
Material-based inheritance is not worth fighting for. Never create enmity with people because of what God can give you in abundance.
Never set your mind on material belongings of your parents. Understand that it's not yours until they pass it to you.
After you've received through prayer what you ought to do to have the physical manifestation of your spiritual inheritance then you engage service to appropriate it.
Divine opportunity is the last dimension on the list by which God answers our prayer in line with our spiritual inheritance.
Prophecy from God must be in line with His written word to be believed. It must bring edification and not fear.
Prophecy is another way by which God answers our prayer as touching our financial inheritance.
God answers our prayer in line with our spiritual inheritance through vision of the night. Jacob had the same experience.
Understanding how God answers us through His word in line with our spiritual inheritance
Understanding how God answer us through His word as touching our spiritual inheritance.
