People prefer you in poverty than in prosperity.
Years ago, I told my boss I wanted to write a book.
"What do you know about books?" he asked in derision.
I felt much pain.
50 books later, I am still writing.
Keep your mouth shut.
Do the work.

My wife wrote a book, gave it to her pastor for announcement in church, but it never happened.
After the service, a sweeper found and gave her the book.
Her pastor had never written a book, so could not handle her success.
She left that church.
She has written over 12 books./2
People are happy with your poverty.
It is easy for them to deal with you in poverty.
They don't want to see you rise.
Your prosperity threatens them, so they try to hinder you.
Stop telling them your plans.
Do the work.
Show your results.
You will be fine./3 #PraisesNuggets

With all due respect to all pastors, there's no such thing as 'a kingdom financier.'
Stop lying to your members.
This is how you misdirect people to an early grave by making them think too highly of themselves and start arrogating to themselves positions and titles that don't belong to them.
Even if you are the richest business person on earth, you are not a Kingdom financier.
You are called to die to your own agenda, carry your cross and serve the will of God in your generation.
God is the financier of his own kingdom. God can finance the kingdom without you. God has been financing the church for thousands of years.
Until you obey the last instruction you received from the Holy Spirit, no further instructions will be given to you.
God will keep reminding you about the last instruction you received or just keep silent.
So, when someone says: "I am not hearing from God,' it is probably because there is an instruction that has not been obeyed.
A 68 year old man, a Caucasian, came to Nigeria from the USA to organise a crusade.
He struggled to preach through all the meetings. When the crusade was done, he confessed to brother Gbile that God told him to preach the gospel about 50 years previously but he refused. In those 50 years he did all kinds of businesses and made a lot of money but he had no peace
Don't be deceived. There is no such thing as generational curses. What exists is generational stupidity, generational foolishness, generational ignorance and generational superstition passed down from ignorant parents to their children.
When you are in Christ and you become a Christ-driven, wisdom-driven, kingdom-driven individual, this affliction and its attendant consequences of fear, mental laziness, geographical containment and poverty will be neutralized and broken from your life forever.
Christ is the cure for generational foolishness.
The God will give you ideas to create and deliver compelling value, in the right environment, to the right people and your value will be recognised, received and rewarded.
When you are value-driven, you manifest your greatness.
"About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God... Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose." Acts 16:25-26.
Thread.
Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns in worship to the Lord. They were not praying and singing 'to get a miracle ' or 'to get a breakthrough' or 'to bring down heaven.' They had no such intention or agenda.
Their prayer and praise was not manipulative, it wasn't 'putting
pressure on heaven to move.' No. They were simply worshipping the Lord in spirit and in truth.
They were not asking the Lord to deliver them from that dungeon 'through a miracle' when that earthquake occurred. They did not ask for an earthquake to deliver them.
Dangote, Elumelu and Otedola are ready to die in Nigeria. They see wealth in Nigeria.
But Millions of Nigerians are rushing to migrate to Canada. They see poverty in Nigeria.
Dangote, Otedola, Elumelu are not idiots. They see what 90% of Nigerians do not see.
It is better to follow the path of the wealthy than to follow the path of the majority who are trying to escape from Nigeria.
I am yet to see one person who left Nigeria broke and became a billionaire abroad.
It is easier to become wealthy in Nigeria than in the UK.
Broke people are trying to escape from a country, but some people are making plans to prosper in that same country, a wise person should think twice before following the crowd of broke people.
Broke people say Nigeria is bad.
Dangote says it is good.
Who do you believe?
Where you are in life is as a result of a 'cause' within you.
I shall explain.
Whatever is going on in your life is as a result of a definite cause within you.
That cause may be mental, emotional or spiritual.
The people in your life,
The issues in your life,
Your financial situation,
Are all a result of a definite cause within you.
You are the cause.
Your life is the effect.
You are the creator of the life you presently experience.
It is all your fault.
You caused it.
It is irresponsible of you to blame someone else for what you have made of your life.
