*WHAT IS AN EBOOK* ❓
Ebook simply means "electronic book." These are books in digital format; meaning they are not printed out in hard copy. They could come in pdf, kindle or epub format that can be read and understood. They are books you can read on your phone, computer and other gadgets.

*IMPORTANCE OF EBOOK*
1. It is less expensive to create unlike printed books.
2. It can be accessed anywhere.
3. It can easily be taken from one place to the other.
4. It can be purchased anywhere in the world.
5. You can make money with ebooks while you are sleeping.
6. You can reach more readers in different countries of the world unlike printed books.
7. The cost of producing an ebook is far less than the profit maximized.

*YOU TOO CAN START EARNING IN DOLLARS FROM EBOOKS*
You don't need to be an already existing author before you can write and publish an ebook and make money. But if you are already an author, it's also an advantage. You can actually write a book within 24hours. But before you write, there are certain things to put into cognisance which are very important to maximizing profits through your ebook:

Until you accept the fact that wealth creation is a journey, and you have enough discipline to stick to the process, you will continue to fall into ponzi schemes disguise as investments.

Dear African visionary, wealth creation is futuristic. Don't be like Esau whose focus was immediate gratification.

Focus on building wealth that will outlive you. Break the cycle of poverty in your family by paying the price of patience, knowledge, and commitment.

Attaining financial freedom is possible, but that possibility is not without responsibility.

11 SPECIFIC REASONS WHY PEOPLE NO LONGER TRUST PASTORS Written by Bola Akin Francis John

If you read my posts regularly, you know my love for pastors and local churches.I was once a pastor, and I have great respect for those who lead God’s church. At the same time, my consulting work with churches and my speaking schedule have given me opportunities to speak with people who no longer trust pastors. I’ve written books on pastors, but I’m adding today some specific reasons I’ve heard more than once. I’m afraid that many people unfairly characterize all pastors based on only one or two examples; nevertheless, here are some of the more specific reasons they’ve lost their trust in modern societies:

1. A pastor lied to them. It takes only one pastor to commit this sin before a believer struggles to trust any pastor. One lie leaves deep scars.
2. They’ve known pastors who lived one way in the pulpit but another way outside it. Hypocrisy usually leads to distrust – and future pastors have to “earn” their credibility before church members trust them.
3. Some pastor hurt a family member. The emotional connection with family usually magnifies our anger when somebody we love is hurt. That kind of anger is difficult to get over.
4. Pastors have abused them. People no, longer trust pastors because they have been morally, financially and mentally abused, taken advantaged of by pastors.
5. They heard a pastor talk in off-color ways. Sometimes, this problem occurred in the pulpit. Pastors using hyperbole, exerggerations in the pulpit. More often, though, it was a “behind the scenes” conversation that depleted any trust.
6. They loved a short-term pastor who said to them, “I’m here for the long haul” even while he was talking with another church. This issue, of course, goes back to lying.
7. Some pastor dealt suspiciously with money. Perhaps nothing was ever proven, but enough concerns were raised that distrust set in. Money has a way of creating leadership turmoil.
8. They discovered the pastor’s sermons online—and with someone else first delivering them. Pulpit plagiarism is growing, even though it’s easy to get caught. Once again, one bad example makes it tough to hear any pastor without wondering about the source of every sermon.
9. Some pastoral candidate included false information on a resume. It happens, I’m afraid. A falsely beefed-up resume can lead to doubts not only about the candidate, but about other pastors as well.
10. They’ve seen a pastor treat his family poorly. They grieve when they see the pastor critique his spouse or berate his children publicly. His actions only raise questions about his personal walk with God.
11. The extravagant lifestyle of pastors. People stop trusting pastors when they discover their opulent, fastidious lifestyles. They reasoned that their living standard is way beyond their serious and sacrificial calling and commission.
In the last several years, trust in pastors have greatly waned in our societies. I’m not asking for other reasons to be added today. Instead, I’m asking you to take a moment and simply pray for your pastors.

PROSPERITY CONVICTIONS
29.03.2022

I affirm that God is at work in my finances, both to will and to do according to his good pleasure. I am fruitful and productive in all that I am involved with. In my financial ventures I am experiencing luxuriant growth and persistent productivity. I am laying up gold as dust. I am connected to an unending supply. God provides me seed to sow and bread to eat. He multiplies my seed sown and increases the fruits of my righteousness. My giving establishes my righteousness. I am rich and prosperous. The blessing of the Lord that makes rich and adds no sorrow rest on me. Hallelujah!!!

Catholic Church has the most organized structure on earth – Oyedepo

Bishop David Oyedepo has said that the Catholic Church has done a good job in terms of putting up a structure to run the church system.

Speaking to other men of God recently, the Senior Pastor of the Living Faith church opined that the Catholic church is the longest organized system on earth.

In his words, ”In my own view, the Catholic has done a good job in terms of structure. An extremely good job. Amazing good job. Where you can sit down and pull out materials of 50-60 years ago, in its original form. How many of us in ministry today can pull out materials from 10 years?

It (The catholic church) is known to be the longest, organised system on the earth. About 2000 years in existence.

And then came the major protestant, the Church of England. They made a good deal of organization.

If we keep going like this, not one material will be traced to the Charismatic . If we keep going like we are going without reviewing our steps, without seeing the place or order, it will fizzle out because many are running it like a shop, you make sales on Sunday, spend it during the week and then come back the next market day.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT AMAZON KDP

A lot of people keep asking me some questions that are quite similar in nature, around the business of self publishing on Amazon kdp

Even though I have created a free explainer video that touches on the basic things, let me address the most recurring questions here

WHAT IS AMAZON KDP?

Amazon kindle direct publishing (kdp for short) is Amazon's ECommerce website for books

This platform caters to the knowledge and information needs of a growing audience base with currently over 200M monthly visits from all around the world

HOW DO I START?

Registration on Amazon kdp is free, and that is the first step. Check the comments for more on how to sign up

HOW DO I MAKE MONEY FROM AMAZON

By creating information products around sellable topics that people are actively searching for, like money and finance, relationship, health and lifestyle.

But information products are not the only things people go to Amazon kdp to buy.

People buy stuffs like notebooks, journals, coloring books, puzzle books, logbooks, workbooks etc

These are books that has little to nothing written inside and can be created with as simple a tool as Canva

WHAT IF I'M NOT A WRITER?

Nobody has that badge written on their forehead and I personally believe that anybody can write sensible information within three days of practice.

That being said, you don't have to write full length books if you don't want to. You can concentrate on zero content books like notebooks, coloring books and journals

HOW DO I SELL MY BOOKS?

Amazon takes care of marketing but you have a little work to do, to help them help you.

During the process of listing your book, you have to string in those search terms that people will likely use to search for your book strategically so that Amazon can help you show your book to as many people as possible

HOW SOON CAN I MAKE MONEY

Amazon Kdp is not a get rich quick scheme. Sales from your books will follow a natural progression, meaning that you make sales when you list topics that people are interested in.

This is why it is important to understand niche and keyword research before starting out.

HOW MANY BOOKS DO I NEED TO UPLOAD TO START MAKING SALES?

The more the better, but consistency is key. You can decide to do at least 2 low content book every week. You never know which book will bring in the sales first

I believe this has helped!

Message Title: Faithfulness in Pastoral Ministry.
Ministering: Pastor David Ibiyeomie @Davidibiyeomie

Faithfulness means firm and unwavering devotion to someone or something no matter the circumstance.

Faithfulness is not just doing something right but doing it over and over again.

If you leave an assignment the way you met it or in a worse way, it is an indication that you are not faithful.

Where you will be tomorrow is a function of your faithfulness today.

God does not rate you according to your size but according to your faithfulness.

To be faithful in ministry is to be fruitful in ministry.

You must maximize the little available to you until it becomes much.

If you must make a mark in ministry, invest in knowledge.

Going through financial stress in ministry is an indication of unfaithfulness in your financial dealings.

Sit down at your assignment or the world will never look for you.

Areas you need Faithfulness

1. Faithfulness towards God.

2. Faithfulness in your assignment.

3. Faithfulness towards handling God's resources.

God doesn't ignore faithful stewards, He rewards faithful stewards.

You cannot truly be rich in the kingdom without faithfulness.

Until your faithfulness is proved, your reward will not be established.

Rewards of Faithfulness

1. It guarantees supernatural promotion. - Neh. 7:2

2. You are entrusted with more responsibility and empowered with more grace - Matt. 25:20-21

3. It enriches you with diverse blessings. - Prov. 28:20

4. It guarantees transgenerational blessings. - Prov. 20:7

- Create avenues for corrections in your ministry.

- Have people around you that you can be accountable to.

- Be cautious of doing business with the ministry.

THE 10 HIDDEN REASONS FOR FINANCIAL STRUGGLES IN LIFE AND MINISTRY.

Many times pastors think the financial sufferings and struggles they go through is as a result of demonic attacks.

It is not every suffering or struggling that is from Satan. We must sometimes leave Satan alone. Here are some few reasons pastors suffer financially:

1, When you resign too soon from a ministry that pays you to start your ministry and you don’t have the financial capacity to stand alone financially.

2, Failure to accept the fact that ministry is not working for me so let me add something that can bring additional income to support my family and ministry.

3, Becoming full time too soon is one of the major reasons for financial struggles in ministry. Many still don’t know there is a difference between FOOL TIME MINISTRY & FULL TIME MINISTRY. When you are not doing evangelism, not praying and not counselling go to the market and sell something legally to put food on the table.

4, Failure to build yourself in ministry. Ministry is capacity building. When your impact is minimal on people’s lives your income will be minimum. Ministry comes before money not money before ministry. Your money is in the impact of your ministry.

5, ignorance about financial matters is the most deadly disease among pastors who are struggling financially. There is WHAT TO KNOW about ministry finances before you can generate them. I learnt 33 practical wisdom to finance my ministry as I studied pastors who are financially buoyant in ministry.

6, Failure to spend time before God in prayer to identify your financial rod that will part your financial Red Sea. There is something God has given you that can bring in the finances. Elisha asked the woman WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HOUSE? I’m also asking you WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

7, Not having any source of income. Many pastors don’t have any source of income. Failure to build a source of income means nothing will come into your hands. There must be at least 4 minimum sources of income into your life.

8, Many pastors are not givers but only takers. Failure to sow seeds block the flow of finances into your ministry. Identify ministries above and under you and sow seeds.

9, Failure engage poverty eradicating prayers to break any financial limitations upon your life. There are forces that want to make you poor in ministry.

10, Raising too large a family without the financial resources to take care of them. When you have a big family it means many mouths to feed, school fees, high bills to pay.

DEVELOPING FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE IN LIFE AND MINISTRY.

Many pastors when you take church away from them they can’t feed their families and also finance their personal life. I have seen countless of pastors who lack financial intelligence in life and ministry.

If you are a pastor with a congregation of less than 100 adults you need to have a source of income outside the church. Don’t mistaken FOOL time ministry with FULL time ministry. The two are never the same. Many are doing FOOL time ministry instead of FULL time ministry.

I see many many young brilliant men who are zealous to become “MEGA” in ministry and are struggling financially because they lack financial intelligence.

YOU MUST HAVE AN INCOME AS A PASTOR. One of the ways to have an income is to create a side business.

SOCIAL MEDIA SENSE 101
(8+1 Social Media Sense for Ministers and Preachers)

By Dr Bukola Williams

1) When people send you friend request it does not imply they are inferior to you. See it more as a hand of friendship from which both parties may benefit however little. Stop thinking or saying: "after all, you were the one who sent me friend request first".

2) When people do not accept your friend request, it might be due to many factors and not anything personal.
For example, my list keeps fluctuating from 5000 to 4998 etc. I have hundreds of requests some of which identity I do not even know. Same applies to many people. It's not personal when your request isn't immediately accepted or never accepted. It doesn't make you less and doesn't make the person more.

3) Building a social media brand has nothing to do with spirituality or grace but deliberateness and strategies. You can have huge followership on social media and be low in grace. And someone with 'high grace level' might have low followership. Don't lose the sense of honour just because your social media followership and the likes and comments have increased. Trust me, some of the people that like and comment on your post; you will have to book appointment and/or queue up to meet them physically and you may still not be able to see them. Don't confuse data for grace. There is difference between access to data and access to grace.

4) Don't lose a sense of honour because of social media familiarity and friendship. Your pastor is still your pastor despite your social media friendship status. Don't abuse the chat or messenger buttons. His office is still the best place for counsel (if you can) and not his inbox. Please, retain sense and honour in the midst of your social media trending.

5) Sometimes, social media doesn't require all the seriousness that our minds want us to exude. There is room for being jovial and humorous and the message will still be passed across humorously. So, when you see some 'online preachers' being humorous; they are not being less spiritual; they just have the understanding. Even God has a sense of humour. Social media is not where people frown their faces; that is why it is called social media.

6) As much as possible, be intellectual or try and sound so in your posts. Avoid murdering English, grammar, spelling or tenses on social media. Don't forget that it is human beings that are on social media not robots. Some of us get irritated by some spellings and tenses. We all make unintentional errors of spellings and tenses, but that's why there are edit buttons. Be disciplined to read your posts and edit where necessary (before and after posting). And if your English and sense of tenses isn't very Queen's, be humble to have someone edit your posts before you post them. People will get tired of those your "demon, I commands you to went out". Please sir.

7) And it is called social media not private media. The difference is clear. We don't need your account balance on social media. You can keep that new car pictures to yourself. We still apply wisdom on social media.

People are wise enough not to put their challenges on social media. Why are you looking at their pictures and all they post and you are getting disturbed and depressed. Some people only escorted their friend to the international airport and posted their own picture; they have never traveled out of their region. Some people only had 100 people in attendance and posted: "how the crowds gathered in their several hundreds". Some people need deliverance from social media deception and lies in the name of packaging. Don't measure your life with what you see in other people's timeline. Timeline is not always real life. Don't come and kill yourself.

9) Finally, this social media is not garri and groundnut o; it's quite sophisticated. If your desire is to use it for deliberate impact, then you have to upgrade some skills. You have to learn the social media algorithms, digital content development, social media marketing, etc. You may even have to buy some materials, read up things and even consider engaging a social media manager. You will learn simple things eg the use of hash tags (#) and stop hash tagging every word you post. This will even help you know why some people do what they do online.

Thank you for reading this long post. Some people will still not read it (because it's long), so expect the fragmented version from tomorrow. I just thought to make #kingdomsense as it's been a while. My name is Dr Bukola Williams. And just for the information of people who think "we pose" with the "Dr"; no o...we trained as medical doctor before obeying call into ministry. It's part of the humour sha.

Feel free to share. And if you can and wish to, let's know which of the points needs a louder volume in the comment section. Lol.

21 WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR PASTORS

I love pastors. Each week, through this platform and my personal ministry, God allows me to partner with dozens of pastors, helping them address issues that are pertinent to church and ministry of today. I’ve learned that many pastors struggle to find people who will invest in them and help them grow as individuals, leaders and pastors.

Recently I had a pastor ask me for my “best advice” for other pastors. Wow! That’s hard to say. I’ve learned so much through the pastors who have invested in me and by personal ministry experiences. It’s hard to summarize all that I’ve learned. It could probably fill dozen of books, but at least I can offer some here;

Some few years back, I wrote a book, '101 Ministry Lessons' about practical lessons I have learnt in decades of ministry. That book was a mighty blessings to thousands that got a copy to buy or read,judging from the testimonies received in my office. Currently, am updating the book, but decided to give some twenty one of those lessons as encouragement to pastors and gospel ministers here in this platform.

Here are 21 words of encouragement for pastors:

1.Run from sins that sink pastors.

Yes, there are sins that are peculiar to pastoral ministry. You can abuse your high and elevated position for sex,money,fame and power. Those sins, even though done in secret will eventually sink you. People may rumor about you,but the rumor will die down naturally if you are not found culpable. But if you are secretly guilty of what you are being accused of, it will turn to scandals of great proportion that will sink your work.

2.Don't grieve but obey the Holy Spirit of God.

Learn to walk and work in obedience to God's Spirit. Don't grieve the Spirit of our Father through flagrant disobedience. Seek His leading and let Him be the president of your life and ministry.

3.Choose your friends wisely… but choose friends.

Don’t attempt to lead alone. Too many pastors avoid close friendships because they’ve been hurt. They trusted someone with information who used it against them. Finding friends you can trust and be real with means you’ll sometimes get injured, but the reward is worth it.

4.The church can never love your family as much as you do.

Your family needs you more than the church does. They can get another pastor. Your family doesn’t want another you. You’ll have to learn to say “no,” learn how to balance and prioritize your time, and be willing to delegate to others in the church.... Don't let your ministry destroy your family and equally don't allow your family to destroy your ministry.

5.If you protect your Sabbath day, your Sabbath day can better protect you.

You’ll wear out quickly without a day a week to rejuvenate. God designed us this way. Take advantage of His provision. Take time to rest. You may not rest like everyone else… for me rest doesn’t mean doing nothing… but you need time away from the demands of ministry regularly. Lead your church to understand you can’t be everywhere every time. You owe it to yourself, your family, your church and your God.

6.You have influence… use it well.

The pastorate comes with tremendous power and responsibility. It’s easy to abuse or take things for granted. Don’t. Humility welcomes the hand of God on your ministry. Use your pastoral influence for God, not for personal enrichment or aggrandizement.

7.No amount of accountability or structure will keep you from temptation if your heart is impure.

Above all else, guard your heart. (Proverbs 4:23) Avoid any hint of temptation. Don't let your heart go astray, because the heart of the matter is a matter of the heart. Look for the warning signs your heart is drifting. Keep your heart saturated with God’s Word and in prayer.

8.Let God lead.

You can do some things well. God can do the impossible. Whom do you think should ultimately be leading the church? You’ll be surprised how much more effective your leadership will be when it’s according to His will and not yours. See His leading. Walk and work under His divine camera.

9. Don't ever handle the Word of God deceitfully.

Though we live in a fast changing world,yet the Word of God remains sacrosanct all the time. Believe that word and preach,teach it faithfully. Don't try to change,innovate or twist the word to cover peoples sins or to please them. Be faithful, live the Word and teach it accordingly.

10.If you can dream it, God can dream it bigger.

Don’t dismiss the seemingly ridiculous things God calls you to do. They won’t always make sense to others or meet their immediate approval, but God’s ways will prove best every time.

11.Keep Jesus the center of focus in the church.

You’ll never have a money problem, a people problem, or a growth problem if people are one with Jesus. Preach and show Jesus to each of the people God allowed to come under your shepherdship. When Jesus is lifted up, He will surely draw men and women unto Himself

12.Your personal health affects the health of the church.

Take care of yourself relationally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This, too, requires discipline, balance, and prioritizing, but if, to the best of your ability, you strive to be healthy in every area of your life, as a good shepherd, your people will be more likely to follow your example.

13.The people in your church deserve authenticity.

Not only should you be honest about who you, it helps to keep you from trying to meet unreal expectations. Also,it will help the people in your church to be transparent with you and others. Don’t be someone you’re not. Be someone worthy to follow, but make sure you’re living it… not just teaching it.

14.You’ll never make everyone happy.

If you try, you’ll be very unhappy… and very unproductive. Make sure your motive is pure in all you do. Do everything from the heart of love, that will compensate for not pleasing everybody.

15.Your calling is to a person… Jesus.

That means you are working for Jesus. You ultimately report to Jesus. It is the pleasure of Jesus you are seeking. There will be days your calling is challenged by others. You’ll be tempted to cave in to the pressure of those with the loudest voices. Don’t forget who holds the title to your life. It is His church,not yours. So be true to Him.

16. Use you pulpit to bless and build people for God.

Many pulpits have lost power to transform people for God because it has been polluted by immoral,unsanctified liers jesters,corrupt politicians and idolatrous traditional kings. Preach from a holy,sacred and sanctified pulpit. Preach the truth of Christ uncensored. Exhort,challenge,rebuke and inspire from your pulpit.

17. Focus on your calling and giftings.

Don't ever dabble into what Christ did not call you into. Let your calling and gift be the undergird of your ministry. Seek to work by what he called you into.

18. Never do ministry in competition with others.

Stop comparing yourself with others, for every ministry is different. Run only according to God's timetable for your life.

19. Be accountable to a godly mentor.

You can't succeed in ministry when you are a Lone Ranger. Prayerfully search out a godly mentor that can hold you accountable to godly living, not someone who is only interested in your tithes and seeds. A mentor that love and respect you but doesn't fear to speak the truth to you, always.

20. Don't ever help God to perform spurious miracles.

Be content and prayerful to let God do His work through you. Don't put yourself under pressure to perform miracles, just to measure up to the expectations of people. Pray for people in need,but leave the result with God. You are never a miracle worker, only Jesus is. If you go and get strange powers to prophecy and perform miracles, you are simply setting up yourself for a great fall and judgement by the Lord

21. Don't fight for Money, Position and Power in Ministry.

Don't ever do ministry for money. We surely need money for ministry,but we are not in ministry for money. So, stop using gimmicks to get money in ministry. There are blood money, occultic money that can be given to you that will signal the end of your ministry. Beware of money,power and position. Don't ever fight for them. Let God give you when and how He likes it for you.

CHARGING MONEY

I saw a minister who charged people for prayer, I got sad and wanted reacting...but I paused and thought again, I discovered that some who actually practice this were actually genuine but hardship and poverty led them to such...my heart wept. Some of them have prayed for people in time past, who got breakthroughs and forgot them....went to big churches to share their testimonies. Our wickedness in neglecting the sincere men is also a reason why some of them charge. Do you know you can adopt a pastor and be paying him monthly?

Poverty can lead to anything....some cannot even afford to pay their children's school fees not to talk of other utility bills....they are men that truly loves God but now they charge money to pray for people.

Can I tell you something? You have no right to rebuke anyone like that if you are not helping genuine servants of God who suffer on daily basis....some of them can't feed their family.

Some of us neglect these poor pastors and we go to known charlatans to pay big money to swim in their pools and buy their anointed materials for huge sums.

Final counsel, man of God please stop charging money to pray, trust God, He will supply your needs. Then to anyone reading this post, it is you God will use to supply their needs. The next time you join a bus and the Evangelist who preached is about to solicit for offering.....tap him and squeeze 2 or 3k into his hand and ask him to forget about asking from the passengers....the next time you see a street Evangelist with megaphone � try and bless him or her if you can. Send your pastors money on monthly basis if you can, pay their children's school fees sometimes.....buy fuel for their bike and cars from time to time.....give them monthly stipends.

I'm not just telling you to do what I'm not doing....eventhough we don't need to make this public but I say this with every sense of humility and reverential fear.....I have not less than 15 pastors on my pay list who receive money on monthly basis...recently we adopted the widow of a missionary who bandits killed in Niger state...I say this to God's glory!

Reach out to a missionary today.

FINANCIAL ADVICE FOR PASTORS

Many pastors think it is the responsibility of their general overseer, senior pastor or their denomination to prosper them.

Once you agree to the salary you will be given by your denomination the rest is up to you.

If you are working in a secular world and you take X amount as salary that is all you get and you dont complain about it.

In the church now many make so much noise about money and if they were to be in the secular world they wont make such noise.

If you are a pastor you must work on your own financial freedom with fear and trembling.

To have financial freedom as a pastor consider the following:

1. Be certain you are called into ministry and the denomination you serve under. If you are called into a denomination be faithful and serve wholeheartedly.

2. Build you capacity in ministry so much that the impact of your ministry will go beyond the four walls of your church.

3. Learn to create multiple streams of income in ministry so you wont only depend on the money given to you by the ministry.

4, You must turn your core expertise into becoming a trainer, consultant, trainings etc

5. Work on yourself. Improve on your ministrations so much that people can invite you to their conferences and meetings.

6. If you are a branch pastor of a church work hard for your branch to grow. Branch pastors these days are more likely to grow their ministries faster than pioneering pastors. Out of the growth of your branch many doors will be opened to you.

7. Increase the impact of your ministry. The more impactful you are the more financial resources will flow to you.

8. Gain financial intelligence in ministry by reading books on ministry finances. I recommend my books to you.

9. Build good ministry relationships. Your revenue in ministry is in your relationship.

10. BE A GIVER- MANY PASTORS DON’T GIVE. AS A PASTOR YOUR FINANCIAL HARVEST IS DEPENDENT ON YOUR FINANCIAL SEED.

11. You must learn to build business that will not hinder your ministry.

12. The state of your heart and faithfulness in ministry will determine the blessings that flow in your life and ministry

In conclusion, your pastor, your denonimation is not designed to make you wealthy but the insight you operate in ministry is what determines the flow of income into your life.

ULTIMATELY GROW TO A POINT WHERE YOU REFUSE TO BE PAID BY YOUR CHURCH BECAUSE YOU ARE FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT.

God bless you all.

Sickness does not exist in my aiōn because I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. I have the divine life that flourishes with health, prosperity, success, peace, and joy unspeakable. The Word of God is life to my body and it cleanses my blood and makes me perfect and whole. Glory to God!

Most Nigerians are not investors, they are gamblers.

If you present a genuine investment opportunity that takes time to mature to a gambler, they will ignore you.
But if you come with a getting rich quick scheme, they will embrace you - because they are not investors, but gamblers.

The difference between an investor and a gambler is Patience.
The impatience of the gambler is their major weak point which gets exploited by dubious elements.

Are you a gambler or an investor?

THE VICTORIOUS LIFE!

Christ is in me; His life flows in every fibre of my being, every cell of my blood, and every bone of my body! I’m what God says I am; I have what He says I have, and I can do what He says I can do. I continually fix my gaze on the Word, and every day, I’m metamorphosed into the same image that I see in the Word. The Word is fully expressed in, and through me. I’m a success for Jesus.

I give expression to the life of Christ and His nature of righteousness in me. I’m His extension in the world today, manifesting His glory, majesty, dominion, wisdom, and strength.

Through me, He establishes His righteousness and love in the earth and in the hearts of men. His righteousness continually reigns through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

PROSPERITY CONVICTIONS


I affirm that I am separated unto God for His glory. I have access to the unending, boundless, fathomless, incalculable, and exhaustless riches of Christ, wealth which no human being could have searched out. I walk with the consciousness that it is more blessed to give than to receive. My mind is made up to always give lavishly and bountifully, out-giving my past. I am an automatic receiver because the more I give, the more I receive. I live in the overflow of God’s blessings because He makes all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to me in abundance. Glory!

When you are in your teens and early twenties, it is alright if all you can talk about are the hottest babes and guys, or the hottest movies and songs, or the hottest new dance step. But life is about growth. If that is still your conversation at 30, then you are emotionally stunted. Move on to the hottest shares and business deals. Talk about the hottest passive income ideas. Don’t think that your job alone can save you from poverty. Think of a chair. A chair needs four legs to stand on. But if you take off one leg, the chair may still stand on three legs. But once the legs have been reduced to two, that chair can’t stand. You need at least three streams of income if you want to stand above poverty!
