Let's be honest.
Nobody respects I have good intentions.
Everybody respects l have money.
You can be the most anointed, most talented, most well-mannered person in your locality but if you don't have money, many people will not even hear your voice.
Money is not everything.
Yes, but money affects everything.
Here are the real reasons why you must have enough money:
Money gives voice.
In this life, poverty makes your wisdom look like foolishness.
When you have money, people listen to you.
When you don't, even your good advice sounds like complaining.
Money puts a microphone on your mouth.Money gives options.
Without money, you don't choose.
Life chooses for you.
You manage the bad job, the bad relationship, the bad house because you cannot afford to leave.
Enough money gives you the power to say no and no is the most expensive word in life.Money protect respect.
You know how love turns to insult when you always beg?
How family meetings become stressful when you cannot contribute?
Money protects your dignity.
You can help without being asked.
You can show up and not shrink.Money solve problems before they become prayer points.
Many things we are praying about are actually money problems.
Hospital bill, school fees, rent, food, light bill etc. These are not always spiritual attacks.
Sometimes it's just low funds.
Enough money makes many prayers unnecessary.Money help you help others.
You cannot give from an empty pocket.
You want to help your mother?
Help your younger ones?
Sponsor that orphan?
Support your church?
All good intentions need money to become action.
Your heart may be big, but without money, your hands are tied.Money buy time and peace.
The richest man is not the one with 10 cars.
It's the one who can sleep well at night, wake up when he wants, and not panic when there is an emergency.
Money buys peace of mind.
And peace of mind is priceless.Poverty is expensive.
This one is painful but true.
Poor people pay more.
They buy cheap things that spoil fast.
They cannot buy in bulk.
They pay interest on loans.
They pay with their health because they cannot afford good food and good treatment.
Having enough money actually saves you money.Money validates dreams.
Your dream to start that business, write that book, travel, build that house, all those dreams stay as dreams without money. Money is the fuel that moves your vision from your head to reality.
Listen, don't chase money because you want to oppress people.
Chase money because you want freedom.
Freedom to live where you want.
Freedom to leave where you don't want to be.
Freedom to help who you want to help.
Freedom to become who God created you to be.
Money won't make you happy.
But lack of money will definitely make you sad.
So work hard.
Learn a skill.
Sell something.
Save something.
Invest something.
Build something.
Not to show off on Instagram.
But to have enough.
Enough to not beg.
Enough to not fear.
Enough to live with dignity.
Because at the end of the day, having enough money is not about pride.
It's about peace.
Good morning and happy weekend.
