FLOATING AXE Devotional:- 2 Kings 6:1-7 “So the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float’’ (V.6) NKJV  Sometimes when we read about some great wonders of God in the Bible, something makes us feel it was because the people were very special. But we need to know that they are men of like passion (James 5:17-18). They were just exactly like we are, but they were only men of faith. This makes God to work wonders through them. The sons of the prophet needed a big place of dwelling. So they decide to cut trees to make a new home. Thank God they requested that Elisha should go with them. As they were cutting the trees, the axe head fell into the deep river. And the man of God asked the Holy Spirit for what to do. The Holy Spirit was what they also depended upon, and there was a miracle. Friend, you also have the Holy Spirit. That stick is the word of God. Speak to the sinking situatio...

CHOOSE YOUR MASTER Scripture Reading: Joshua 24: 13-20 Devotional:- “And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." (V. 15) NKJV      God made us to serve Him (Isaiah 43:21). Just like God want us to serve Him, the devil also is looking for who he will use (Deuteronomy 28:47-48). That is why each man should make a choice. You need to choose who will be your master. When people don’t make the choice, they stand on the fence. There are many people in the church today who have not determined who will be the master over their soul.

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

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  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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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 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.

A seed is what God gives you that you can sow to have a harvest in life. This could be your talents, special gifts in you or special abilities. A seed is a coded material that can have a tree and forest in it. Since all are created with seed, it becomes the responsibility of each one of us to discover his or her own. It is your seed that you will be able to plant in places in lives to harvest your income. Jesus was a seed of God to harvest the world. As He pick the Bible He found in the scripture what He came to do in the world.

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.

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
