ABUNDANT MENTALITY

- April 30, 2022

ABUNDANT MENTALITY Scripture Reading: John 6:1-13 Devotional:- “Philip replied, "Even if we work for months, we woundnt have enough money to feed them"” (V.7) NKJV Be careful not to reduce your life to poverty by the way you think. Remember your life will always go to the way of your thought pattern (Proverbs 23:7). This is because your thought pattern will always direct your action and attitude towards life (Matthew 12:33). If you keep thinking poor, it will be impossible for you to be rich. You are not poor. It is your mind that determines what you attract.

WISE SPENDING

- April 29, 2022

WISE SPENDING Scripture Reading: Luke 15:11-15 Devotional:- “But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want” (V.20 NKJV) A major factor that separates the rich from the poor is wise spending. The way some people spend money is a pointer to the fact that they can never be rich. What a poor man will consider small and be willing to throw around is what makes the rich to be rich. The poverty mentality makes some people to give themselves to pleasure (Proverbs 21:17). The devil always help people to define pleasure in a wrong way, just to waste their financial future.

MULTIPLYING MONEY

- April 28, 2022

MULTIPLYING MONEY Matthew 25:14-21 Devotional:- "So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them'” (V.20) NKJV Everyone who wants to be financially free must learn the act of multiplying money. People need to know that it is not more income that will make a man rich but ability to multiply the one at hand. Work is not equal to wealth. This is what most people in this part of the world don't understand. Some think that if they can steal money, they will be rich. This is not true. It will only bring immediate comfort but cannot make one rich. A rich man is the one that is able to multiply money. No matter the salary you are paid, it is a wage for your labour (Proverbs 14:23). It does not make rich. It is your understanding of how to multiply that salary over a period of time that will make you rich.

FINANCIAL GOALS

FINANCIAL GOALS Scripture Reading: Proverbs 31:10-21 Devotional:- “She consider a field and buys it; from her profits she plants a vineyard” (V. 16) NKJV If anyone do not have a goal, he will not be moved to attain any thing. Goal setting fuels our energy to pursue. Goal setting makes us run to attain (1 Corinthians 9:26). Goal setting makes our lives focus on achievement of something. It makes us to live according to plans. It helps us to be able to measure our level of achievement in life. Goal setting helps us to be in the line of progress.

COMPOUND INTEREST

- April 26, 2022

COMPOUND INTEREST Scripture Reading: Luke 19:20-27 Devotional :- “Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?” (V. 23) NKJV Everyone who wants to be financially free must learn how to make money, manage money and multiply money. One of the wonders of money multiplication is the use of compound interest. When interest becomes compounded, it turns the amount over and over in a wonderful way. The beauty of compound interest is a long term investment. That is why it is only those who can stand in self discipline that can truly be rich.

MULTIPLE STREAMS

- April 25, 2022

MULTIPLE STREAMS Scripture Reading: Ecclesiastics 11:1-6 Devotional :- “But divide your investments among places for you do not know what risk might be ahead” (V. 2) NLT As good as savings and investment could look like, as much as challenging it could be if one is depending on one means of income. The need for multiple means of income is not only because our needs are unlimited, but because life is a risk. So, there is a need for a man not to solely depend on a means of income. No matter how secure a venture could look like, it can still be stopped by one circumstance or the other. That is why, it will be wrong to put all your eggs in one basket. Life is not supposed to be up today and total down tomorrow. Our life is meant to increase daily (Deuteronomy 28:13).

INVESTMENT

- April 24, 2022

INVESTMENT Scripture Reading: Matthew 25:22-30 Devotional:- “So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest” (V. 27) NKJV An investment is a venture in which you put in your money and at the end of a period, you can collect your money with interest. The interest is the beauty of an investment. This is how to make money work for you. The poor only work for money, while money work for the rich. The truth is that, there is no one that can not be rich. If only you can learn how to make money work for you. This is by investment. Yes, it may be risky but life itself is a risk.

SAVING CULTURE Scripture Reading: Proverbs 13:22-25 Devotional:- “Much food is in the fallow ground of the poor, And for lack of justice there is waste” (V. 23) NKJV It is important that you realize the importance of cultivating the habit or lifestyle of savings. It is an attitude that we must consciously cultivate. If not, people will be poor forever. Saving culture is a singular factor that can turn a man's financial status around for good. God makes us as a creature that can form habit and this is one of the major habit you must labour hard to form. If you don’t form habits for financial freedom, you are likely living with habits of financial failure.

RESPECT THE LITTLE

- April 22, 2022

RESPECT THE LITTLE Scripture Reading: Genesis 2:1-8 Devotional:- “but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground” (V. 6) NKJV To become financially free, a strong factor is that we must stop looking down on little money.

MAKING PROFIT

- April 21, 2022

MAKING PROFIT Scripture Reading: Proverbs 14:23-29 Devotional:- “Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty” (V. 23) NLT It's amazing to see how many of us don't think about profit at all. The moment some people sees money, they are just okey. They don't think of if the work and the earning is profitable. So many people doing businesses don't know the difference between capital and profit. What some people called salary is never a good income at all. Yet, they keep doing it.

- April 20, 2022

MASTER YOUR BUSINESS Scripture Reading: Matthew 13:1-9 Devotional:- “But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty” (V. 8) NKJV As we seek for a life of financial freedom, we must not underrate the place of earning.

You must become a professional at your profession. You must become a master at what you are doing.

HAVE A MENTOR Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 4:14-21 Devotional:- “For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel” (V. 15) NKJV No matter your profession or discipline, there is a need to identify someone who can mentor you gradually into full success. Mentors are people who have been able to achieve what you are intending to achieve. This will go a long way for you to be able to learn what your parent or master thought you that you did not get. We may read books and get principles but it takes the help of a mentor to get it right in life.

ACQUIRED SKILL Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 16:14-23 Devotional:- “Then one of the servants answered and said, "Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the LORD is with him" (V. 18) NKJV God has made everyone to be blessed. He made all men with seeds. Jesus became a seed of God to harvest the world for God. Today, we remember His resurrection and are glad. As long as a man have a seed, he cannot lack a financial future, except he refused to grow the skill of planting the seed. Acquiring skill is developing the act of using your seed profitably.

POWER OF SEED

- April 16, 2022

POWER OF SEED Scripture Reading: Galatians 6:6-10 Devotional:- “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (V. 7) NKJV Everyone should get to know that one of the mystery of creation is the creation of seeds (Genesis 1:11-12). Seeds are small but coded materials. As small as a seed could be, yet it contains all that can develop with time to become a tree. No matter how big a tree is, it started to grow from the seed level. It is a seed that creates a future. Jesus had to spend three days in the womb of the earth to rise to glory.

NOT HOW MUCH Scripture Reading: Proverbs 6:6-11 Devotional:- “Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise” (V. 6) NKJV A major reason people end up being poor in their life is because they create a standard for themselves based on their level of salary or income today.

Most of such people always end up frustrated and disappointed in poverty.

DON’T LOVE MONEY Scripture Reading: 1 Timothy 6:3-10 Devotional:- “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows” (V. 10) NKJV As much as money is important as a means of exchange in the world, as much as we should not cast our love on it.

FEAR GOD

- April 11, 2022

FEAR GOD Scripture Reading: Psalms 25:10-15 Devotional:- “He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants shall inherit the earth” (V. 13) NKJV The fear of the Lord is the foundation for any relationship with God. This is because God is the source of all blessings (James 1:17). It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich (Proverbs 10:22). It is God that gives power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18). It is God that gives wisdom for wealth (Isaiah 48:17-18). It is God that gives durable riches (Proverbs 8:18). So, as a child of God, we cannot put God aside when we are thinking about money. Unbeliever can make money without God, but we know the end of ungodly riches (Psalms 37:36-37).

Wrong or insincere spending will always lead to poverty. To be authentic is to live a life that is conforming to the fact on ground.

To be meticulous is to take extreme care in treatment of details i.e. little, little money. These are details of your capital, net, gross income and your savings. There is a very strong need to be meticulous because big money is gathered gradually and can be destroyed gradually (Isaiah 28:10).

ATTITUDE

- April 07, 2022

You are not fashioned to be poor. If you are poor today, it is an affliction because your maker did not make you like that. The reason some take to stealing or robbery is because they have a wrong conclusion about their lives and money. God did not make anyone to be poor. People are walking into poverty by their own ignorance.
