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.

MAKE YOUR OWN WEALTH 2

For many years the widow of the indebted prophet alongside her husband and two sons lived in the consciousness of lack and poverty and therefore had to borrow from family members, friends and neighbours until they maxed themselves out. When her husband died, the creditor could not be bothered about their bereavement. He was concerned about retrieving his money from them by enslaving the two sons of the man in debt servitude.

Suddenly, reality dawned on the widow. Her husband was gone; and now her two sons in debt servitude! Something had to be done to remedy the family situation. She ran to the prophet Elisha.

Beloved, it was possible for the prophet to have given her the money required to pay off the debts and even if the prophet did not own such money, he could have sent her to someone he knew who could pay off the family debt and set them free, albeit; temporarily. This is because they would revert to borrowing again as it was the only way of livelihood they understood. So Elisha took the decision to correct the anomaly of living off borrowing in that family. He taught the woman and her sons to make their own money and wealth by deploying the resources at their disposal no matter how seemingly little or insignificant to make their own wealth.

Make Your Own Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

To make you own wealth, you urgently require a spiritual and mental paradigm shift which will prepare you mentally and spiritually to move away from dependency on the wealth of other people. You will need to drop the consciousness of I am created poor; to be dependent on the genuine or stage managed generosity of the rich; to live off their handouts. It is  a self-limiting consciousness which impoverishes and fosters generational poverty in families especially when a member or members of a family accept and internalize that consciousness and through certain consistent utterances and actions convey and transmit the consciousness to their children, siblings, other members of the family as well as neighbours, colleagues, community members and citizens of their nations.

Have you ever noticed that a certain aura of neediness pervades and surrounds people with such a consciousness so that even when they are brought before kings on account of their divine gifts designed to uplift them out of the dust and ash heap positions life; that ugly wealth, dignity and honor dispelling aura shows up so that rather than negotiate positions of power, influence, and wealth with their divine gifts, they request subservient positions so that they remain at the beck and call of the rich forever dependent on their supposed generosity whether genuine or stage managed. That explains why the lame man at the pool in Bethsaida was content to remain there making up excuses of having no one to help him. Those excuses and his inability to see that he had taken on an I am a liability and dependency consciousness and aura was the reason he could not immediately respond positively to Jesus’ question of whether he wanted to be made whole despite the fact that Jesus Christ initiated the conversation and healing process.

In contrast, we see a very proactive Blind Bartimaeus who had a different consciousness and aura – the God given consciousness of I am created to win; I am not created a liability but a blessing to humanity. That explains why he did what he did – deploy the resources at his disposal to get the attention of Jesus – Jesus Whom he could not see and had never seen; Jesus Whom he had heard so much about and Whom Blind Bartimaeus knew could change his status in life – restore his sight so that he would never have to depend on other people for mobility and sight – that way he could take on a job and never have to sit at the roadside to beg. Blind Bartimaeus initiated the process of his interaction with Jesus; subsequent restoration of his sight as well as freedom and deliverance from the supposedly limitations which would have kept him dependent and subservient. Unlike the lame man at Gate Beautiful and the man at the pool in Bethsaida, Blind Bartimaeus refused to be bound. That explains why he initiated the process by literally taking the bull by the horns.  Even when people tried to hush him down, he shouted louder; practically shouting himself hoarse until Jesus paid him attention.
