The problem is not money it's how we use it.

The problem is not with money. The problem is how people use it — or misuse it. It’s like fire. In the hands of a chef, it cooks food. In the hands of the careless, it burns homes. Blaming money for evil is like blaming a knife for a crime.

Poverty Is Not Holiness
In many parts of the world, especially in Africa, we’ve been taught to see wealth as dangerous and poverty as humility. But being poor doesn’t automatically make someone pure — and being rich doesn’t automatically make someone corrupt. I’ve seen generous millionaires change lives quietly. I’ve also seen broke people cheat, lie, and hurt others to survive. Character is not based on your bank account.
💪 You Deserve Abundance
Don’t let guilt stop you from pursuing a better life. You deserve financial freedom. You deserve options. You deserve to help your family, travel, rest, and give back — without begging or burning out.
Money allows you to be generous without stress. To say yes when someone needs help. To support your passions without limits. Money allows you to be generous without stress. To say yes when someone needs help. To support your passions without limits.
If you use money with wisdom and purpose, it becomes a blessing — not a curse. 🔄 Change the Narrative Money is not evil.

  • Loving money more than people is. - Money, in the right hands, can heal, grow, and inspire. So chase purpose. Build wealth. Give freely. Live boldly. And never be ashamed of desiring more — as long as you stay grounded. Because money isn’t the root of all evil. Misunderstanding is. Money Reflects Who You Are
    Think of money like a mirror. It reflects your values, your heart, and your priorities. If you’re kind, generous, and thoughtful, money gives you more ways to express that. If you’re selfish or reckless, money just amplifies it. So instead of fearing money, focus on becoming the kind of person who can handle it well. Build character before wealth. That way, when the wealth comes — and it will — it doesn’t destroy you. It builds you, and through you, it builds others. 💬 Final Thoughts Let’s stop letting fear and false teachings hold us back. Wanting more for yourself and your family isn’t evil — it’s responsible. Wealth doesn’t make you less spiritual, and poverty doesn’t make you more worthy. Money is power — but like all power, it depends on how you use it. So go ahead: dream bigger. Work smarter. Earn honestly. And when you rise, lift others with you. Because money is not the enemy. Ignorance is.
