THE PROVERBS 31 WOMAN AND HER FINANCE

Sisters,

I trust this post meets you well in Jesus Name.

I understand this is a very ‘touchy’ subject and I will try to be as simple as possible. In mummy Adejumo’s words, life is governed by principles not miracles. Therefore, there are principles that govern finance and these are what the enemy is out to attack in different forms via different voices so we must be guided accordingly and pay attention. We must know that all these ill messages about kingdom finance are out to weaken our faith and make us disbelief God as the rewarder (Hebrews 11:6).

Let’s examine a few lessons from the proverbs 31 woman, the sixteenth verse of proverbs 31 says ‘She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.’ – Proverbs 31:16 NIV

The bible points out the fact that out of her earnings (referred to as fruits in some version) she plants (invests). This paints to me that she understands that in every fruit, there is a seed. You cannot operate in the frequency of God if you eat all that comes to you. Your tithe is part of that seed, it should not be eaten with the rest of your income. Your tithe is at least 10% (there is no maximum) that goes to God from all your income. Our tithe should be a sacred un-debatable part of our income that goes to God. And let me say that it is not a old testament ‘thing’. It is a kingdom finance principle.

Another perspective of seed I saw from the proverbs 31 woman is that she sets asides a part of her income to invest. She uses a part of her present income to generate future income. Her money decisions were not all based on the now. She is futuristic. When you base your money decisions on the now:

you will spend on mundane things only;
you will be an impulse buyer; and
you will find yourself going for wants rather than needs.

The proverbs 31 woman understood that all things might be permissible but not all things are beneficial (1Corithians6:12).

Sis, my charge this week might be hard to swallow but I consider it expedient. Let us be deliberate about our money choices. Money represents the processed form of our labour, sweat, time, energy, skill or talent. Most of the Saviour’s Parables were money (finance) related. Jesus cares and pays attention to these things.

Let us pray:

Holy Spirit, please teach me to create wealth, multiply and preserve it. As a tither, I decree that the devourer is rebuked for my sake and blessings flow to me so much that I will not have enough room to contain it. No longer will I make wrong decisions regarding my finance or be moved by mundane things. It’s a new dawn for me! Thank you Jesus.

Loads of love,

Your Sis

Purposefully Marching Forward

Dear Sisters, Happy New Month! Welcome to March, the month where God is moving us further in purpose. I trust that you and yours are doing well and keeping safe. It ' s so good to be on here. I was studying the ministry of Elisha recently , and I took not e of his dimension of impact. What a man! He carried a double portion of Elijah ' s anointing , and Elijah was not small in any way. While Elijah and Elisha were very similar, they were distinct in their purpose and those they were sent to, nothwithstanding the measure of anointing . Most of Elijah ' s miracles were inclined to life and death. On the other hand, most of Elisha ' s miracles were restoration based like healing people and nations . Therefore, it can be said that Elisha was a prophet of grace while Elijah was a prophet of judgment. Elijah g...

The Creative Power

Dearly Beloved, Happy New Year! I pray that 2023 will be exciting and fulfilling for you; may your expectations not be cut short in Jesus Name, Amen. A few days ago, I came across on my Instagram page a snippet of some of the things I said in 2019. In this video, I was talking about my personalised confessions after a vision boarding session. So I said things like, “I am transforming Africa”, “I enjoy healthy relationships”, and I went on and on. Sisters, I was so moved by how everything I spoke in that video has become a reality today. There is so much power in our words; honestly, we can’t really understand how powerful it is on this side of the earth. Can we do something? Do a video saying where you see yourself (in alignment with the Word of God) by December 31, 2023 and save it. Say things like, I have become a global brand because Nations and kings are coming to the knowledge of my rising. I see myself setting a new pace with groundbreaking ideas in my industry b...

THERE IS MORE!

Hello Beautiful, Happy new year! It’s been a while I wrote to you, I trust that you are doing well. How were the festive celebrations? Pleasant, I hope, except for the part of dealing with the extra pounds gained from the plenty food. 😊 It’s a few days into the new year, and I could not think of a better time to reconnect with you, my sisters. As the year 2021 ended, I was in a place where I did not want the year to ‘finish’. Why you may ask, well, it is because God blew my mind in 2021 – the year was heaven on earth for me – God’s favour was evident in all I did, and it felt so ‘sweet’. Everything that has a beginning must have an ending, so the year was bound to end regardless of my multiple testimonies. And that it had to end sort of began to make me feel unexpectant for 2022. Weird right? I wondered why too, mainly because the testimonies I experienced in 2020 I did not see coming or technically ask for them – it was just God honouring me. So towards the end of 2021, I ...
