Topic: The Still Small Voice
Scripture reference:
“And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice”. - 1 Kings 19:11-13.
Elijah received an instruction to stand somewhere to see God. Following that instruction, there was an earthquake, which is understandable from our natural minds, considering how big God is but shockingly, God was not there. Also, He was not in the wind, the Consuming Fire was not in the fire. He was in the still small voice.
This powerful piece of scripture shows that God is so secure in himself that he does not need the spotlight of any other phenomenon, which He created, to prove how sovereign or great he is.
His Word is his bond. Once we can hear God, we have become his. This is why we should not get lost in the noise or theatrics that this life has to offer but seek to hear God’s voice in every situation.
This is not to say that God may not use the big things to speak. However, even if He uses anything or any medium to speak to us, we will hear that soft but sure voice in our hearts.
“God is always speaking. We must always listen”.
Daily digest: 1Kings 19:1-21
Prayer: Dear Jesus, I pray that I always hear your voice in every situation. I ask that you help me control my space and prevent distraction so that I can always be in tune with your voice.

Topic: Creature of Value
Scripture Reference: “And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth”- Matthew 25:30
In Christ, you are not worthless. The deposit of the Holy Spirit within you awakens the many gifting on your inside. You are not a biological accident. You are created for a purpose. Every product is a function of the manufacturer’s dream. You are a product of God’s dream. You are a creature of value. You have to discover yourself. There is something inside you that actually makes you different from me. If you fail, it is your fault; if you succeed, it is your doing. In Matthew 25:15, we see that every man has been given something that will profit himself and his family.
Joseph is a model. He was called to lead. He stands as a master administrator. The faculty of administration within him was given quick expression. I am amazed at the way he administered Potiphar’s house. Everything was in order and Potiphar house prospered. Joseph knew he was a creature of value and he did what he could with what he had, where he found himself. He exercised his talents and when in prison, he was a master administrator. He did all things well and his masters left all in his hands.
Prepare for tomorrow by using your talents today. Start where you are and you will end up at the very top. Be encouraged.

Prayer: Lord, I acknowledge your investments in me; I choose to live the profitable life today. Open my eyes to the “how- to’” of my talents. I choose to be profitable today, in Jesus’ precious name, Amen. Thank you Lord.

Topic: Half Full or Half Empty
Scripture Reference: “For to him that is joined to all living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion” Ecclesiastes 9:4
Those who can see God’s hand in everything can leave everything in God’s hand. Joseph had a positive mental attitude. He laughed to forget. Considering the heavy weight of his challenges, I saw a side of Joseph that is worth emulating. He viewed the half-filled cup of water as “half full”. The pessimist says, it is half empty, but from Joseph’s point of view, with a little more volume, the cup will soon be full. We must view life this way to be a success. How do you evaluate your challenges? Do you consider them as ‘half full or half empty’? I’m awed by the attitude of Joseph in prison. He could have been whining and soliloquizing in prison. He could have put blame on many things; he could have questioned the validity of covenant faithfulness. After all, he fled fornication to please God. But Joseph looked through the spectacles of ‘processes. The, prison was not the destination; it was just a bus stop and to get to the destination, you have to be up.
Genesis 40: 7 (AMP) says, “So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were in custody with him in his master’s house, why do you look so dejected and sad today?” This is incredible; he could notice other people’s problems. His challenges never weighed him down. He was not self-centered, he still cared about others. He asked why they looked dejected and sad. Joseph couldn’t give what he didn’t have. It is obvious he was not looking depressed, dejected or even disappointed. This attitude leads to the palace. I challenge, you today, maybe you are even in that situation because you were faithful to God; it is a proof you are heading to the palace. Go through it with a positive mental attitude; prison to palace. How do you view your circumstance; half full or half empty?

Prayer: Lord, I repent of all murmuring and casting of my fingers. I see through this challenge, a crown of glory. Give me grace to give to others in time of famine for therein is my bumper harvest

Topic: Self-Care
Scripture reference:
“Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well” - 3 John 1:2
Wellness is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (The World Health Organization). It is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. Wellness is more than being free from illness; it is a dynamic process of change and growth. It comprises of emotional, physical, spiritual and social well-being.
Think about it. Can an unhealthy or sickly person really experience Financial Dominion? Top-notch wellness is needed to think strategically, plan, organize and execute business ideas. No wonder God’s desire is for us to enjoy good health.
As Christians, divine health is our portion. However, we need to play our role in living in healthy lives. We cannot just neglect healthy live habits and expect to have sound heath. “Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honour God with your body” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We must take care of our bodies as befitting temple of the Lord.
Adequate attention should be paid to our diets and we must be conscious of integrating some form of exercise in our lifestyle. Also, routine medical checks are very important. As we play our part in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, God will reward our effort with His divine healing touch.
Daily digest: 1 Corinthians 6:1-20
Prayer: I declare that I walk in divine health even as I pay attention to taking care of my body as a befitting temple of God. I am physically, spiritually, emotionally and socially well enough to create wealth and impact my generation positively. Amen!

Topic: The Favour Factor
Scripture reference:
“May the favour of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands” - Psalms 90:17
I liken favour to salt or seasoning used in cooking. There is a much needed oomph that salt gives to meals. You just know there is something missing when it is not added. In the same vein, favour is what makes our labour meaningful. It is the oomph that makes our efforts successful. After all is said and done, it is that “special fragrance” that makes us loved by men and that makes them want to go out of their way to help us. Favour is the breath of God upon us that makes every element combine and work together in a divinely orchestrated way for our benefit. Favour is a very essential ingredient for Financial Dominion.
We see this favour factor in the life of Joseph: “Joseph found favour in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned” (Genesis 39:4). Granted, Joseph was diligent and a hard worker, but it was the essential addition of God’s favour that crowned all his effort with success.
We must keep in mind that it is not about the fancy degree, or the man-know-man connection or the labour and toil. While all these things are also good and necessary, without the favour factor they won’t yield much!
Daily digest: Genesis 39:1-23
Prayer: I declare that I am walking in God’s favour. I have found favour in the eyes of God and man. My smell is like the smell of the field that the Lord has blessed. Therefore, I am a magnet for blessing, success and victory!

Topic: Principle of Motive
Scripture reference:
“And even when you ask, you don't get it because your motives are all wrong--you want only what will give you pleasure - James 4:3
Why do you want wealth? Can you provide an honest answer to this question? Do you want to keep up with the Joneses? Or maybe you want to just be like the rich fool and “take life easy, eat and be merry”? Ask yourself “why do I really want to be rich”? Your breakthrough lies in the answer to this question; that is, provided the answer aligns with God’s will.
Here’s the real deal: God wants you to be very wealthy! But the reason He wants you to be rich is so that you will be a blessing to others. You have to see wealth as a tool for expanding God’s kingdom. When this is your motive, God will surely channel resources through you because He knows you have passion for His kingdom. God is able to make it up to you by giving you everything you need and more so that there will not only be enough for your own needs but plenty left over to give joyfully to others (2 Corinthians 9:8)
So the next time you’re knocking on heaven’s door for a financial breakthrough, remember to do a thorough heart check to be certain you have the right motive.
Daily digest: 2 Corinthians 9:1-15
Prayer: Sweet Holy Spirit, cleanse my heart and rid me of every selfish ambition. Grant me the grace to be a channel of blessing to others and also for the expansion of God’s kingdom, through my wealth. This I ask, in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

Topic: Limitless Wealth Mentality
Scripture reference:
“...For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich” - 2 Corinthians 8:9
What’s your mentality when it comes to wealth? Do you figure it is reserved for just a few? Do you ever allow your mind the capacity to picture yourself as wealthy and influential? Or do you think it’s an impossible attainment?
Let me let you in on a secret. It’s an open secret really. One of the benefits of being born again is access to vast wealth and riches. But as with divine health, protection and all the other benefits, this door of wealth cannot be unlocked without faith. You cannot attract what you do not believe in.
Let’s take a cue from Joseph. Even when he was still a young lad, he had mega dreams. Where he was at that point in time did not stop him from dreaming about where he was going. And he eventually got there!
Dear friends, it’s time to let go of all limiting beliefs you have about attaining wealth. It doesn’t matter if you grew up in abject poverty. Your story doesn’t have to remain the same. You can break out of that poverty box. Stretch your mind! Do not see certain levels of wealth as beyond your reach. “You have to believe it to be able to achieve it”
Daily digest: Genesis 37: 1 - 36
Declaration: Today, I change my limited wealth mentality and declare that I have a Limitless Wealth Mentality. By faith, I believe that I have access to vast wealth in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
