The next time you see poverty, remember time. Don’t remember ego. Don’t think about what people will say—that you’re not succeeding. Forget all that. Remember time, because your destiny is currently suffering from a lack of money. The health of your marriage, your relationship, your children—it’s all affected by the lack of money. There are children whose lives are being delayed today because of poverty. Poverty chooses that you won’t go to school for the next four years—and so it is.

Now, let me tell you this: “It is dangerous to prosper alone—it is the same as being poor.” If all of Joseph’s brothers had had the same dream, Joseph would not have gone to prison. But because only one out of twelve had a dream, the eleven said: “Then who are we?”

In today’s world, the average person—no matter how greedy or wicked—has at least four people praying for them to rise, so they can eat. So, your breakthrough doesn’t necessarily mean the problem is solved. Your wealth must be transgenerational for you to truly rest.

You need enough to settle every dispute that may arise, enough to overcome conflict no matter the wickedness, jealousy, or strife. No matter how many people Caesar sends, they can all return with their gold and leave you to focus on the things of God. That is my desire, especially for the youth.

“They have neither knowledge nor understanding,
They walk about in darkness;
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
I said, ‘You are gods,
And all of you are sons of the Most High.
Nevertheless you will die like men
And fall like any one of the princes.’” Psalm 82:5–7

So, the key thing is to understand what God means by “understanding.” The Bible says, “Get wisdom, and with all your getting, get understanding.” Things must be understood. It says that in everything you do, make sure you understand.

Ephesians 4:18 — The Bible says it this way: “The mission of the god of this world is to blind the minds of people.” He creates a veil, covering your understanding with confusion. So we keep groping and guessing, but God gives us light.

Let me share two principles with you. Please pay attention.

True success is not something to be pursued. You don’t chase after success. If you are chasing money or success, you will never find it. This ideology needs to be corrected—it is not biblical. In this Kingdom, we do not pursue money. What I am teaching you now is called the Law of Transformation or the Law of the Mind.

Your life is like a man standing before a mirror. If I stand in front of a mirror and there’s something on my face, do I reach through the mirror to fix it? No, I fix it on my face—and the man in the mirror also corrects it.

Now, that mirror is your physical world. The real you is not the physical world. The physical world is a reflection of the realities happening within you. And you must understand this: at every level of life—level one, level two, level three—there are possibilities embedded by God’s intelligence into that life. This means that when I’m at level one, there are certain things that will naturally come at that level. But others will only come when I rise to a higher level.

Please pay attention: suppose I am at level one in life. I may see the results of level three and try to bring them into my level one life. It will be like stretching a rubber band—it will snap back. Because the law says you must grow into the version of yourself that attracts those higher possibilities. Listen to this: each level of life has its possibilities.

A fake life is an attempt to attract a possibility higher than your domain of understanding and reality—either due to ego or because you have something to prove. But the law says it will backfire.

So, the real way to become rich is not by chasing someone else’s level. That’s a waste of time. The real mission is this: success is what you attract by who you become. As you continue to grow into better versions of yourself, the possibilities in your life begin to change to reflect that internal growth. You don’t need to tell people you’re transforming—the law will insist that certain things begin to manifest in your life.

Let me ask you a question: Where is the first phone you bought? Do you remember throwing it away? Do you remember giving it to someone? Where did it go? It’s strange—everything on earth is a living being. That phone left you when you reached a level where it was unfair for it to remain with you. Do you understand what I’m saying? While that phone was still there, your current phone was already searching for you. But every time it came, the version of you it saw was not the one it was meant to stay with.

Everything you’re looking for is also looking for you—but not this version of you. So when God sends you that blessing, it comes and leaves saying, “I didn’t find him.” But you’re still there. The transformed version of you that will make those possibilities a reality hasn’t arrived yet. We’ve been fighting to obtain these things one by one—they come, and the law rejects their stay.

That’s why many of the things we receive create physical events—and then they leave us. It could be a lost business or something else. You will have a physical explanation—but I’m telling you, it’s the invisibility of spiritual laws.

You may believe that money left you because you made a bad investment. That may be an obvious answer, but not the true one.

You may think a relationship ended because people are unkind. That’s not true. You attract into your life the possibilities that reflect your evolving version. You must understand this. Everything in life is built twice. It is first built through your understanding—and then it becomes physical. Your mind and the Holy Spirit are the only ones allowed to enter your future, verify it, and take you there.

If your mind doesn’t take your body to a place, you haven’t truly arrived there. And even if you do, you’ll eventually return to where your mind is. So your mind dreams with God, enters your future, sees the possibilities, and comes back to guide your body saying: “Let’s go, I’ve seen that it’s real.”

While your mind travels, you may be in a small room. While your mind travels, you’re sitting in a corner. While your mind travels, you’re wearing a 200-naira shirt—don’t worry about the shoes. Your mind is already shopping for you, so don’t pressure yourself. Your mind has gone into the future and returns saying: “It’s unfair for your body to stay like this—I’ve been there, let’s go.” And when it does, no matter your current state—please hear me—this is a law. You will transition to reflect the version of your mind.

Some people buy cars and within two weeks, the car starts to reflect their mind—because they didn’t truly “buy” the car twice. Their mind didn’t buy it—their hands did. And their mind sees it as an attack and wages war against the car. Then as soon as the car breaks down, their mind says: “You’re back to normal now.”

There are ministers of the Gospel who haven’t spiritually or mentally transitioned to certain realms of influence and growth. So even when they’re given an opportunity, you’ll be shocked to see how they ruin it and go back to where they were—because they hadn’t truly transitioned to the level where it was right for them to be.

Now let me show you how true success comes: This song of life is too important to try changing things one by one. The things I need are too many—and if I spend my life changing them all, I’ll die doing it. So God created a magnetic system—look at this: as I grow, every blessing God has prepared for my life begins to arrive. But when I decline in understanding, those blessings flee.

This is the technology of success.

Right now, while I’m here, how can I meet a journalist to interview me? If I go wandering around looking for journalists, it could take my whole life. So God says: “Don’t worry—it’s built into your growth.” Your mission is to grow with Me. So as you pray and grow in understanding—by reading, for example—the things you need start coming toward you. This is a picture of what happens in the spiritual realm. This magnetic pull of God’s blessings is happening right now—even as you read these lines.

Maybe yesterday you were at level zero, but by reading this, you’ve come to level one. Whether you’re aware of it or not, don’t be fooled by what’s not in your pocket. This is a law, backed by the integrity of God. This is how we rise in the Kingdom of Heaven.
