Proverbs 22:29 (KJV): Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
KINGDOM FINANCE PRINCIPLES SERIES: A DILIGENT SPIRIT
I have heard some people complain about the kind of people around them. They claim that everyone they deal with seems to take advantage of them or rob them.
This should not be so. The nature of the people around you often says a lot about your own character.
Our theme scripture reveals that if a man is diligent, he stands before kings. This means that diligence attracts certain kinds of people into your sphere of influence.
However, if you fail to cultivate a spirit of diligence, you may find yourself surrounded by people of questionable character.
If you are wondering how to develop diligence, here is an important pointer: One of the fundamental pillars of diligence is self-discipline. Learn to tame yourself and exercise self-control in key areas of your life, such as managing time, your appetite, relationships, attitude toward learning and knowledge, and even sleep.
When you live by the principles of diligence, even the nature of your inner circle will begin to change. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Proverbs 10:4; Proverbs 12:24
GOLDEN NUGGET: Diligence attracts certain kinds of people into your sphere of influence. However, if you fail to cultivate a spirit of diligence, you may find yourself surrounded by people of questionable character.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this word. Thank You for refining my character and teaching me the ways of wisdom. I am diligent in spirit and exercise self-control in all areas of my life. The fruit of this self-discipline is evident in my dealings. Because of my diligence, kings and great people are drawn to me, all to the glory of Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Isaiah 53:2 (KJV): For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
CALLED TO INCREASE AND GROW
It is the Father’s deep and abiding desire for His children to experience continuous increase, regardless of their circumstances.
This beautiful truth is clearly illustrated in Job 8:7 (NLT), which says, "And though you started with little, you will end with much." The King James Version translates it as, "Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase."
Our theme scripture refers to Christ, and what is most remarkable about it is the description of Him as a root out of dry ground. The Hebrew word for dry in this context is tsiyah, meaning wasteland or desert.
The ground from which the Lord grew was not favorable—He was not born into ideal circumstances. His earthly parents were poor, and He was from Nazareth, a place of which people famously asked, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” (John 1:46).
Yet, despite such humble beginnings, Christ flourished.
In the same way, you are called to a life of increase, even when everything around you suggests otherwise.
Your friends and family may doubt your potential, your financial situation may seem bleak, and you may not come from a noble or privileged background. But God has promised that a root can grow out of dry ground!
Take heart! Things may seem difficult, but you are growing. Life may appear to be working against you, but you are increasing. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Job 42:12-13; Proverbs 4:18
GOLDEN NUGGET: You have been called to a life of increase, even when everything around you suggests otherwise. Your friends and family may doubt your potential, your financial situation may seem bleak, and you may not come from a noble or privileged background. But God has promised that a root can grow out of dry ground!
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. You are my firm foundation, and I stand upon no other. I look to the future with joy and gratitude, knowing that the longer I live, the brighter I shine. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Hebrews 10:35 (KJV): Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
BOLD IN SPIRIT
In our theme scripture, the word translated as "confidence" is parrésia, which also means boldness.
God has called His children to be bold, fearless, and daring. Yet, many Christians today struggle with timidity.
They shrink back in the face of sickness, demonic affliction, or persecution. However, living an effective Christian life requires a certain confidence—a boldness that anchors your walk of salvation.
We are called to confront and overcome every challenge with courage. Whether it is our ministries, children, businesses, marriages, or careers, we are bold enough to put the devil in his place whenever he dares to interfere.
Our theme scripture reminds us that this boldness is not without reward; it carries great recompense.
It took boldness for Peter and John to pray for the lame man at the temple gate (Acts 3:1-9). It took boldness for Joshua to command the sun and moon to stand still (Joshua 10:12-14).
As a child of God, practice boldness daily. Greatness and glory reside in the realm of the bold. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 4:16; Philippians 1:28
GOLDEN NUGGET: As a child of God, practice boldness daily. Greatness and glory reside in the realm of the bold.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this word. I am grateful that the Greater One lives in me. I refuse to be intimidated by the devil or his schemes. I am bold in spirit, unwavering in faith, and confident in Your power at work within me. By this boldness, I leap over walls and run through troops, all for the glory of Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Apostle Grace Lubega
2 Corinthians 11:14 (KJV): And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
OF DREAMS
Not all dreams are from God. Some people place undue significance on every dream they have, mistakenly believing that every dream must be divinely inspired. As a result, some have broken marriages, abandoned business partners, or rejected godly opportunities because of dreams.
Before interpreting a dream, you must first discern whether it is from God, from the devil, or simply the product of a busy mind.
God has spoken to men through dreams on many occasions. For example, He spoke to Abimelech in a dream (Genesis 20:3), to Joseph (Matthew 2:13), and in Acts 2:17, He promises that old men will dream dreams.
However, the Bible also says in Ecclesiastes 5:3 that dreams can come through the multitude of business. Similarly, in Isaiah 29:8, the Bible describes a hungry man dreaming that he is eating and a thirsty man dreaming that he is drinking. This demonstrates how the preoccupations of the mind can manifest as dreams.
An example of a dream from the devil can be found in Job 4:13–21. A spirit appeared to Eliphaz. He recounted and said, "In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake. Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up..."
This spirit in Eliphaz's dream even imparted counsel, but it was not from God. Our theme scripture reveals that the devil can transform himself into an angel of light. This deception can also occur in dreams, misleading the undiscerning.
Before seeking interpretation, discern. Allow the Holy Spirit within you to reveal the source of the dream. Once you know the source, you will know how to proceed. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Numbers 12:6; Genesis 41:25.
GOLDEN NUGGET: Before interpreting a dream, you must first discern whether it is from God, from the devil, or simply the product of a busy mind.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this word. Thank You that my dream world is not only active but also consecrated. The devil has no control over my dreams—only You do. I have the wisdom to discern the source of my dreams and respond according to Your guidance. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

2 Corinthians 3:7-8 (KJV): But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
A GREATER COVENANT
The old covenant had its own glory, as seen in the marvelous works performed by the great men and women of old.
For example, Joshua commanded the sun and moon to stand still (Joshua 10:12–13). Moses parted the sea (Exodus 14:21–22), and struck a rock to bring forth water (Numbers 20:11). Elijah commanded the rain to cease (1 Kings 17:1), and Elisha caused an axe head to float (2 Kings 6:1–6).
These men, operating under an inferior covenant, still manifested the glory of God.
But the Bible poses this question: How shall not the ministration of the Spirit, the covenant under which we are, be more glorious?
The Bible also reveals that Abraham saw the day of Christ and rejoiced (John 8:56). Why did he rejoice? Because, despite the great things God accomplished through him, he understood that those who would come after him under the New Covenant would be better, wiser, and greater.
This truth should shape the prayer life of every believer.
Approach God with the consciousness that you are called to do even greater works than Elijah, Moses, Joshua, and all the great men of old. This is the essence of the New Covenant. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Hebrews 8:6; Hebrews 7:22
GOLDEN NUGGET: Approach God with the consciousness that you are called to do even greater works than Elijah, Moses, Joshua, and all the great men of old. This is the essence of the New Covenant.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this word. What a privilege and grace it is to understand the dispensation in which I live and the covenant under which I operate. Your Word declares that this covenant is built on better promises. This truth gives me the boldness to walk in power and to demonstrate Your Spirit more than ever before. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

1 Corinthians 13:4 (KJV): Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
FAMILY SERIES: YOUR SPOUSE’S WEAKNESSES
As a married couple, one of the key truths you must settle in your heart is that neither of you has the power to change the other.
There will be habits of your spouse that require you to exercise patience while God works on them.
For instance, if your spouse does not behave in the manner you expect—such as not praying as you would want them to—it is your responsibility to focus on doing your part: pray.
Do not allow yourself to become overly consumed by your partner's weaknesses; doing so is a sign of immaturity. Some people are so fixated on their spouse's shortcomings that they fail to see anything else worth preserving in their marriage.
Refusing to let yourself be consumed by these weaknesses will help you in two significant ways: It will make forgiveness much easier and it will aid your healing when you are hurt.
The change in your spouse may take time—perhaps a year, five years, ten years, or even twenty years. But if you have settled in your heart that it is God’s responsibility, not yours, to change them, He will grant you joy and a peace that surpasses all understanding.
Always remember: you only have power over yourself, not over your spouse. Let God handle them and bring about the changes He deems necessary. Regardless of their state, God remains faithful. Hallelujah!

I choose to handle my partner's weaknesses with love and wisdom, covering them and refusing to expose them or bleed on those who did not hurt me. With patient endurance, I commit to praying for them, knowing that You are working in them daily and that You cannot fail. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Romans 2:21(KJV): Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
IN WORD AND DEED
In our theme scripture, Paul poses a fundamental question that calls for serious reflection.
Are you the kind of believer who speaks the Word and teaches it to others but fails to apply it in your own life?
Understand that when people approve you as genuine, it is not merely because what you say is true. Many believers speak the truths of scripture, yet lack the power to influence those around them or the people they minister to.
You must embody what you speak or teach. This is what truly validates you in the hearts of men.
If you teach about healing, you must heal the sick. If you teach about soul-winning, you must be a soul winner. If you instruct others on the biblical principles of giving, you must be a giver. Hallelujah!

Genesis 41:56–57 (KJV): And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt. And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
KINGDOM FINANCE PRINCIPLES SERIES: DREAM FOR THE WORLD
The uniqueness of Joseph's story lies in the fact that when he interpreted Pharaoh's dream, its impact extended beyond Egypt to the entire world. As our theme scripture reveals, the famine affected the whole earth, and countries came to Egypt to buy corn.
Let’s bring this discussion into the present day.
Elon Musk, currently one of the wealthiest individuals in the world, has a dream to make humans an interplanetary species. This is bold, ambitious, and, most importantly, has global implications.
Facebook, for example, has about 3.07 billion active users, while the Christian faith comprises approximately 2.4 billion adherents. This means that one man's company influences more people than the entire Christian faith.
However, the church of Christ often avoids engaging in such discussions—discussions on how to influence and transform the world on a global scale.
Many Christians view wealth merely as a means to solve personal or family problems rather than as a tool to impact the world. With such a limited mindset, Kingdom finances and divine provision cannot be fully understood or embraced.
Believers must learn to dream for the world. When you seek God for an idea, allow Him to give you one that impacts nations. Why? Because there is a law in the spirit that naturally favours individuals with such visions. Hallelujah!

Today, You have redefined my perspective and inspired me to dig deeper, not just for answers for myself but for solutions that will impact multitudes. To the glory of Your name, I pray, Amen.

Apostle Grace Lubega
Psalm 34:4 (KJV): I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
A LIFE ABOVE FEAR I
Some people live in perpetual fear. They are afraid of accidents, sudden illnesses, the safety of their children, the security of their jobs, or the stability of their relationships.
For some, the moment they receive a phone call, their first thought is, "What has gone wrong now?" They constantly expect bad news.
This is not how a child of God is meant to live.
Through our theme scripture, the Lord revealed one of the primary reasons why people live in fear. David said, “I sought the Lord, and He delivered me from all my fears.”
When a person lives in fear, it is because they have not learned how to seek God as they ought to. When you truly seek God, His presence ministers peace and boldness to your heart.
Notice the language of our scripture: "all." Spending time in the presence of God will give you boldness in the face of anything, no matter how bad the report may seem.
Even in the midst of the toughest circumstances, people will marvel at your strength because you have cultivated a life of continually seeking the face of God. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 John 4:18
GOLDEN NUGGET: When a person lives in fear, it is because they have not learned how to seek God as they ought to. When you truly seek God, His presence ministers peace and boldness.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this Word. The Bible says that perfect love casts out all fear. I know that I am loved by You and respond to this love daily. As I continually wait upon You and dwell in Your presence, all fears fade away in the light of Your glory and grace. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Apostle Grace Lubega
2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV): For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
A LIFE ABOVE FEAR II
The Greek word for "given" in our theme scripture is didómi, which, among other things, is translated to mean "to minister." It refers to a form of giving that involves ministering to someone.
From this perspective, our theme scripture reveals that God has not ministered unto us the spirit of fear.
If the Lord has not ministered fear, then it is imperative that ministers of the gospel should not minister fear either.
Unfortunately, fear is often ministered in several ways. The first is through the doctrine that it may not always be God’s will to heal or deliver someone. If people cannot look to God as the ultimate answer in any circumstance, where then is their hope? Such teachings only serve to instill fear, as they strip away the one thing believers should depend on when all else fails: their trust in God to do the impossible.
The second way fear is ministered is through the teaching of the law. This happens when preachers attempt to scare people into obedience by portraying God as angry, judgmental, and wrathful—a God ready to strike down the sinner.
But men should not fear God because of impending judgment. The Bible says in Psalm 130:4, “But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.” It is the revelation of God's forgiveness and grace that leads us to revere Him. Praise Him!
FURTHER STUDY: Romans 8:15; Psalm 130:4
GOLDEN NUGGET: God has not ministered unto us the spirit of fear. If the Lord has not done so, then it is imperative that ministers of the gospel do not minister fear either.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for today’s Word. As Your child, I am blessed to live in constant boldness, safe in the knowledge of who is in me and who is for me. I embrace the loving-kindness, grace, and mercy You have extended to me. Out of this revelation, I walk in reverence of You. I do not live in fear of sudden calamity because I know You desire good for me all the days of my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
