MAKE YOUR OWN WEALTH 3

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha


Take your eyes off other’s wealth. God has given you the power to create wealth, therefore you will create sustainable generational wealth, not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of the Lord Who guides you, establishes you in the perfect will of God, plans and purposes as well as divine timing and contacts with the appropriate divine wisdom to create wealth. To Him alone Who is always able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you could ever ask or think of be all the glory in Christ Jesus in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

 You can and will create sustainable generational wealth not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of the Lord because you can do all things through Christ Who strengthens you. Philippians Chapter 4 verse 13 and Zechariah Chapter 4 verse 6, Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verse 18, Joshua Chapter 1 verse 8.

 Therefore, make your own wealth. Invest in the plans and purposes of God for your life, the land God gave you to till, manage so that you will stop wandering and be used by people and institutions who enjoy using the skills and expertise of other people to further their personal ambitions. Laban and Jacob are classic examples. As far as Laban was concerned, Jacob had no business coming unto his own. He was bound to serve Laban and his sons. But God overruled such an evil plan by Laban and gave Jacob his own empire.

Therefore, grow God’s plans and purposes for your life. Be globally and nationally famous for what God asked you to do; your divinely assigned tasks and not tasks in the fields of other people. Stop wandering from the fields of Laban to Asher, Bola or Ifeanyi. Work your land and excel at it. The widow of the indebted prophet sold her oil and not the oil of other people; albeit in borrowed vessels to make an income and living; to stay off debts. You can borrow vessels if need be but do not agree to and bend to servitude. May God help you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.



Do not despise your God assigned tasks and fields no matter how insignificant they appear right now. That thing you call small is what God has prepared kings who will help you enlarge it. The Apostle Paul was sent to the Gentiles where he had a flourishing ministry. He succeeded because he was where God wanted him to be. I reflected on the ministry of the  Apostle Paul to the Gentiles, especially me and the rest of us who are not Jews. God used the Apostle Paul to write a large chunk of the New Testament for our learning and understanding of God.

The Apostle Paul, one of the greatest missionaries and Evangelist who had planted several Churches in Asia and Europe also engaged in economic activities. Though a lawyer and he could no longer practice law because of time constraint, he engaged in tent making to earn a living so he would not be a burden to the Churches he planted. He also instructed believers not to be idle – they should earn income by engaging in economic activities so that they would not be a burden to both the Church and other people.
