How to Prepare for the Wealth You're Praying For

We pray for millions but can’t account for the thousands we earned last month. In Nigerian culture and across much of Africa, prayer has become a substitute for preparation when it comes to building wealth. But prayer was never designed to do that job alone. This episode confronts one of the most dangerous blind spots in our generation’s relationship with money: the gap between what we are asking for and what we are actually ready to handle. Because the truth is, money doesn’t solve problems, it amplifies whatever is already there. An unprepared person handed a fortune doesn’t become wealthy. They become a cautionary tale. Drawing from real-life examples of people who received significant sums and lost everything, this session breaks down the seven pillars of wealth preparation — financial knowledge, money habits, mindset, network, capacity, relational management, and stewardship; and makes the case that the work of building wealth starts long before the wealth arrives. The wealth you are praying for is looking for somewhere prepared to land. The question is: will it find that in you?`
