PROSPERITY STARTS FROM THE MIND.
DON’T ALWAYS BE ON THE RECEIVING SIDE. YOU DON’T PROSPER BY BEGGING.

- Says poverty is not corrected by redistribution of wealth but by transformation of the mind
CREATING YOUR PROSPERITY (Part 5)
Creating your prosperity implies creating or producing sufficient supplies, to fulfill divine assignment, to meet your personal needs and also be a blessing unto others. Our redemptive package in Christ includes prosperity (2 Corinthians 8:9, Revelation 5:12).
How well you prosper in your mind determines how well you prosper materially (3 John 1:2). You have to prosper first in your mind before you prosper materially, that is what God is saying. Prosperity is not visible first, it is invisible: you don’t see your mind physically, you can see your brain, but the mind is not seen. The brain has a size but the mind is limitless. So, God is saying the way your mind prospers, determines how you prosper materially.
Wealth is not what people have on them but what people have IN them. Wealth is not first and foremost what you have on you, it is what you have in you. The external is a product of the internal. I prospered first inside before I prospered outside.
It is not money you need first, it is understanding.
Poverty problem is never solved from the outside-in, it is solved from the inside-out because prosperity and riches is a function of knowledge and not gimmicks (Proverbs 24:5).
Poverty is a consequence of ignorance and foolishness (Jeremiah 5:4, Isaiah 5:13). No matter how much money is given to a man with a poor mindset, he cannot become rich if he remains ignorant. That is why Jesus said, “the poor have the gospel preached to them” (Matthew 11:5).
You can’t bring a poor man out of poverty by giving him money. You bring him out by renewing his mind.
Building financial prosperity that lasts for long has to start from inside.
Poverty is never corrected by redistribution of wealth but by transformation of the mind. A wise man said give all the money in the world equally to everybody: in one year, it will get back to those who have developed their minds.
Prosperity not founded on the Word of God will not last. True prosperity is created and controlled by God’s Word that you have on your inside (Proverbs 11:9).
HOW TO CREATE YOUR PROSPERITY WITH THE WORD?
- Becoming prosperous starts from your mind.
- The way you think: You are what you predominantly think (Proverbs 23:7). Poverty mindset is satanic slavery. Thoughts are creative forces. Anything you’re thinking controls your life. No matter the seed you sow, you can’t prosper having poverty thoughts. If you want to prosper, you must think it in line with the Word of God (Ephesians 3:20, Romans 12:2, Proverbs 4:23).
You are not a poor man because you are born in Warri, you are poor because you don’t think well.
You can be born without a silver spoon and live a golden spoon life if you think well.
It is not only prayers that God answers, He also answers what we think (Philippians 4:8). - What you believe: Believe God for prosperity. It is what you believe that you become. It’s another to hear the Word and another to mix the Word with faith (Hebrews 4:2, Luke 1:45, Numbers 23:19, Acts 10:34-35, Romans 10:12).
- Your Actions
A) Operate in the covenant: Prosperity in the Kingdom is a covenant issue. Wealth is a product of covenant (Deuteronomy 8:18). It is a universal platform that works everywhere. Psalm 89:34, Genesis 8:22, Jeremiah 33:20).
If you want financial harvest, you must sow seeds. It is never harvest before seedtime, it is seedtime before harvest.
The infallibility of the covenant is rooted in the existence of day and night (Jeremiah 33:20-25)
You must have a revelation of this Truth, otherwise, you will end up a beggar (God forbid!)
Your obedience to seedtime and harvest is the key that unlocks financial prosperity.
As long as you are a giver, you can’t end up a beggar.
