The moment you start justifying thoughts like "I can handle it" or "it's not that serious" you're already slipping. REDIRECT YOUR FOCUS BACK TO GOD BY RENEWING YOUR MIND.
Don't despise this season, for it is in these moments of financial strain that your resilience is being built, your faith is being tested and your Spiritual inside is being Sharpened.
From the day you're born, you're supposed to start building a personal relationship with God through his son Jesus Christ with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Sometimes, you're broken because you're not yet in sync with God's timing. *HE PREPARES THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS, OPPORTUNITIES, AND MOMENTS FOR THAT BLESSING TO BE RELEASED.*
The modern church today is more about ATTENDANCE than TRANSFORMATION. More about COMFORT than COMMISSION. We need to shift from "Come to church" to "Be the Church". Church IS meant to be alive everyday.
TRUST THE PROCESS. *Read Romans 8:28.* You're being prepared for greater things, and when the appointed time comes, you will walk into financial abundance. *NOT JUST FOR YOURSELF BUT TO FULFIL THE KINGDOM WORK THAT GOD HAS SET BEFORE YOU.*
Jesus taught how to love others while on earth. Orphans, Widows, and less Privilege are now going hungry while pastors, bishops, popes, etc, are getting richer from tithes and offerings.
