What you found your wealth on determines the peace you enjoy further with the wealth.

Foundation matters in all we do. A bad foundation cannot produce a good project. Don’t say “If the foundation is destroyed, what will the righteous do”anymore, you could pull down a wrong structure and rebuild it with a solid foundation.

Your life is a project that needs to be established on a fine and firm foundation -truth, love, joy, discipline, righteousness, faith, wisdom, integrity, trust, courage.... these parameters won’t lack peace.

Your wealth won’t add up anymore if it lacks the right foundation; God.

Prayer is not enough2

To get far in your journey in life, if you don’t know the rudiments of prayer and all it entails you’d be slowed down! Especially when you won’t know how to draw the line between what you need to pray on and what you need to take actions on.

Isn’t it surprising that as much as we have praying churches all over -grossly in an increasing trend, the poverty rate never drops, austerity never drops, inflation never drops, divorce seems increasing, depression is becoming more and deadly, character deficit is attacking the pulpit and the pews the more, trust doesn’t mean anything anymore, mortality rate is curving high, our ladies are being molested the more, faith waxes cold easily nowadays, lies are having good time on and off the pulpit. Recently, Covid-19 hit us HARD!

I think we have placed a lot of responsibilities on God than He’s responsible for. He actually is expecting us to be deliberate and intentional about taking great actions.

That you prayed doesn’t mean things will happen on your own terms or expectations. That you prayed doesn’t mean you won’t be faced with challenges or militating factors.

Jesus emphasis in the midst of those militating factors was that “.... be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”

Don’t be fooled! Who bewitched you thus, that prayer will take you to an oversee country without processing your documents and board a plane. Or that you will get admitted into a college without passing all the necessary entry exams and verifications. Or that prayer will build a house for you without you making necessary consultations, get all the necessary materials and build. Prayers don’t print money, government does. Prayer will not help you propose to your spouse to be, you will need to “do” the talking. The success of your marriage is determined by how deliberate you are in making it work beyond prayers.

Did I say you shouldn’t pray, not at all. Prayer is a fertile ground for your actions to thrive and yield rewards. (I believe so much in the power of prayer and I do it a lot)
