  Happy new week, my dear friend. We have been talking about the state of mind, and how it affects poverty, wealth, and purpose. We will be wrapping up for the month with this, and I'll begin with a story. Ade was a young man born into poverty. He grew up in a family where struggle was the normal language. His only dream was to make money, to leave the trenches, and never look back. As he got older, he worked endlessly. He slept late, woke early, and gave everything he had just to succeed. And he did. He made money. He moved into one of the finest estates in the city. He drove the best cars and wore the finest clothes. He ticked off every box he once believed would make him happy. But deep down, he still felt empty. Ade had escaped being broke, but he hadn’t escaped poverty. He had enough money, but he still wasn’t enough. This is the tragedy many never talk about. The belief that money will fix everything is one of the biggest lies of our time. Contentment does not come from accou...

Happy new week my, dear friend, trust you had a wonderful weekend. Today, I will start by telling a bible story, the parable of the rich fool (Luke 12:16–21), Jesus tells of a man whose land yielded a great harvest. Rather than use his abundance wisely, he tore down his barns to build bigger ones, hoarding for himself and thinking his soul could rest in riches. But God called him a fool. That night, his life ended. It wasn’t his wealth that condemned him. It was his mindset. He had money, but no meaning. Riches, but no reason. That story still speaks today. Money, when held without purpose, turns a blessing into vanity. Truth is, money is not the root of evil, misuse is. The same note that buys illegal drugs can buy drugs for a sick child. The same money that funds a reckless lifestyle can fund a legacy. We must stop treating money like a sin, and start seeing it as a servant. When spent right, money becomes a message. It speaks in scholarships, in hospitals, in opportunities created f...

  Happy new week my dear friend, I hope you picked few things from my last message, and I hope you'll pick from today's message too. Poverty isn’t always about empty pockets often, it’s about an empty perspective. The lack of knowledge is one of the first silent killers of potential. A man who doesn’t know better cannot do better. Many are not poor because they lack opportunity, but because they lack the understanding to recognize or maximize one. When your mind is starved of new information, you settle for survival instead of striving for significance. It’s not what you don’t have that limits you, it’s what you don’t know. Time, they say, waits for no one, but for the poor in mindset, time is either wasted or ignored. A person’s attitude towards time determines their altitude in life. While some treat every second as a seed, others treat hours like ash, casually blown away without value. Poverty reigns where time is misused. The wealth of the rich isn't just in currency; i...

  Hello My dear reader, happy new week. Today, I'll start with the story of a young man who experienced penury. He told stories about how he lost his Dad because they couldn't afford #5,000, and how his mum died due to the complications, as the father was the bread winner, and they became homeless and more miserable immediately after his demise, even though the family of 6 was managing in A ROOM before he died. The children got displaced, and everyone went separate ways, darely in the quest for survival, every man to his own, just like that the family was wiped out. Despite their family being the price they paid for poverty, they still weren't rich, that is how expensive poverty is, it has no sympathy for your past, no emotions for your situation. It then crossed my mind that while ignorance and illeteracy are popularly known to be expensive, poverty is underrated.  If there's anything everyman works and pray against, then it is poverty, we work so hard to avoid it, al...

Happy new month my dear friend, I pray that this month will be productive for us, may all the good things of this month be our portion, and may evil not come near us and our family. This week's message is coming late, because I've been looking for the best way to share my experience, I will be sharing some videos with today's message to give more clarity to the message I will be passing. I pray you are blessed by the message.  I recently traveled to Greece for a vacation, not just to relax, but to retrace the steps of Apostle Paul and experience the living history of his ministry. Importantly, I fellowshiped with brethren and participated in the celebration of the annual TOTAL WOMAN CONFERENCE. One of the most profound parts of this journey was our tour around the ancient city of Philippi. We explored the ruins of Basilica A and Basilica B, the remnants of the earliest churches, and the excavated city once buried by an earthquake. These stones may be old, but they still spe...
