Text: Psalm 73:3
Declaration
1. The veil of darkness covering your eyes and brain is shattered to pieces now in the name of Jesus.
2. The veil of darkness blocking your mindset is torn in the mighty name of Jesus.
3. Anything in your brain preventing fresh ideas, the lord will handle it for you in the name of Jesus.
4. And for those unwilling to say amen, may the Lord damage your ignorance in the name of Jesus.
Some people around us are currently prospering and we are getting carried away with it. Because of our environment, It is very possible now that Christians are now looking unto wicked people because they are making money. But we need to ask questions about what they do in the secret.
You need to know that. If you are moved by what you see you will be moved away from your destiny. Some promotions will pull you away from your divine location especially when you are pushing for something you are not due for.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “He that won’t be counselled can not be helped.” Abraham Lincoln also said, “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.”
These are things we need to be conscious of as Christians. If you fail to pay the price now you’ll pay for the consequences in the future.
21 questions to answer to be free from financial hardship
1. What do I really want in life? – You need to do a strong reflection on this. Nowadays, a fool at 21 (not 40) is a fool forever. However, it’s not too late to discover yourself if you are above 21.
2. What are the priorities in my life?
3. How well does my current financial situation fit with these priorities?
4. What needs to change in my life?
5. What should my first few steps in this new journey be?
6. Have I been responsible for my finances?
7. What do I see when I think of financial freedom for me and my family?
8. What have I been focusing on?
9. How skilled am I in finances?
10. Discipline is a necessary attribute for a successful financial life. Are you willing to commit to a disciplined financial plan?
11. Am I listening to the right people’s opinions?
12. What is driving my decision?
13. Does my adviser have my best interest at heart?
14. When was the last time I helped someone without thoughts of repayment?
15. Do I spend more money than I should on things I don’t really need?
16. Am I living above my income instead of below?
17. Do I have more unnecessary debt this year than last year?
18. Small changes make a difference. What are the areas I need to spend less?
19. Since building wealth takes time, do I have the patience to stay on the course without compromising?
20. Do I view setbacks as opportunities in disguise or make you stronger?
21. Am I developing financial patience?
Finally, you need to understand this:
Having goals for the future and being content in the present are not contradictory concepts. Take time to appreciate what you already have but don’t stop.
