[Tevin Macharia Mukabana @TevinMacharia]

The biggest shift in my prayer life was moving from desperation to authority.

There was a time I thought prayer was about begging God…
Crying louder, fasting longer, hoping maybe heaven would notice me.

But then light came.

God is not asking us to beg…
He is asking us to believe.

Begging comes from uncertainty.
Authority comes from revelation.

When you don’t know who you are in Christ, you will pray like a victim.
When you know who you are, you will pray like a son.

The Bible says:
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace…” (Hebrews 4:16)

Not crawling.
Not shrinking.
Boldly.

Why? Because you are not a stranger trying to gain access…
You are a child who already belongs.

Listen—prayer is not convincing God to do what He is reluctant to do.
Prayer is enforcing what He has already made available in Christ.

That’s why you will never pray amiss if you pray scriptures.

Because when you pray scriptures, you are not speaking your emotions…
You are speaking His will.

“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us.” (1 John 5:14)

Scriptures reveal His will.
So when you pray the Word, heaven has no option but to respond.

Instead of saying:
“Lord… please help me, I don’t know what to do…”

You rise and declare:
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1)

Instead of saying:
“God, I’m afraid…”

You stand on His Word:
“For God has not given me the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

Instead of begging for victory, you declare:
“In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” (Romans 8:37)

This is the difference.

Desperation prays from lack.
Authority prays from finished work.

Jesus already paid the price.
He already secured the victory.
You are not trying to win…
You are enforcing what has been won.

So when you pray, don’t come like someone trying to persuade God.
Come as one who knows:

“I have access.”
“I have backing.”
“I have authority in Christ.”

Let your prayers be filled with Word.
Let your mouth speak what heaven has already said.

Because when God hears His Word in your mouth…
He confirms it.

Stop begging.
Start believing.
Stop pleading.
Start declaring.

You will never pray amiss…
If you pray scriptures.

My house was a mess for months.. and I had no idea what..!

I photographed every room and sent the pictures to Grok.

After 24 hours - the place is tidy, and my mind is calm.

No new furniture, no designer.

But 7 commands (prompts) changed everything in the house..

If One Day You Suddenly Come Into Wealth, Remember These 5 Arab Pillars

(These are rules Arab families rarely speak of openly)

Pillar 1 – Silence Is Your First Asset
•Tell no one: not your siblings, not your closest friends, not even your parents.
•The moment wealth becomes known, it attracts hands some obvious, some hidden.
•Old Gulf families understood this for generations.
•Silence is not secrecy; it is protection.

Pillar 2 – Let the Money Breathe Before It Moves
•Once wealth reaches you, don’t rush.
•Don’t invest, transfer, or start building immediately.
•Sit with it for at least 90 days.
•The worst financial decisions in history were made in the first weeks after sudden wealth.
•Clarity is worth more than speed.

Pillar 3 – Don’t Change Your Life Immediately
•No new house, no new car, no luxury purchases not yet.
•The truly wealthy move quietly: ordinary on the outside, building empires on the inside.
•Changing your lifestyle too early announces you and invites chaos.

Pillar 4 – Never Make Money With Blood, Friends, or Family
•No business with relatives.
•No partnerships with old friends.
•No loans to classmates.
•Money does not destroy relationships—but unclear agreements do.
•Families who preserve wealth across generations keep business and personal life in separate rooms.

Pillar 5 – Protect Your Children From Knowing
•Do everything in your power to raise your children without knowledge of your wealth.
•Children raised knowing they are rich rarely build anything of their own.
•Give them hunger, work, and work ethic.
•Inheritance can come later; character must come first.

If you’re a Nigerian man aged 20–45 and you’re still broke, it’s not a curse.

It’s usually strategy + environment + execution.

This thread is brutal, but it’s also hopeful.
Because people are escaping poverty in this same Nigeria daily.

@AdsRach Hmm. I know how this can be. Silence can be deafening sometimes but I have found that prayer isn't always to HEAR God. It may just be to STILL us, to bring us to a place where our hearts are shifted from our burdens to God...

[Feji Iyeke YMG @iyekefejiymg]

Someone dies… and their shares “disappear”? No. They’re just unclaimed.

This happens a LOT in Nigeria.
Family panics. Mum can’t remember anything. Everyone assumes the money is gone.

It’s not.

Here’s the cleanest route forward 👇🏽

First truth:
Shares don’t vanish because someone died.
On the NGX, they sit quietly waiting for a legal owner to claim them.

The market doesn’t chase families. Families must chase the market.

Step one: Confirm the shares exist
Even if nobody remembers where or how they were bought.

Do TWO things:
• Search the SEC e-Dividend / unclaimed dividends portal
• Run a CSCS Global Search (via a licensed stockbroker)

This alone can reveal every stock the person owned.

No certificates? No problem.
Many Nigerian investors dematerialised years ago.
CSCS records are stronger than dusty paper certificates.

Memory fails. Databases don’t.

Next hard truth:
Nobody can touch those shares without legal authority.

Not the mum.
Not the eldest child.
Not “family meeting”.

You need:
• Letter of Administration (no will) OR
• Probate (if there’s a will)

Where does this happen?
Probate Registry of the State High Court where he lived.

Yes, it takes time.
Yes, it’s stressful.
But without it? The shares are frozen forever.

Once probate is ready…
You go to the company registrars (First Registrars, Greenwich, CardinalStone, etc).

You submit:
• Probate / Letter of Admin
• Death certificate
• IDs
• Proof of shares (from CSCS search)

This process is called TRANSMISSION.

What transmission does:
It legally moves the shares
➡️ from the deceased
➡️ to the estate or named beneficiaries.

Under SEC rules, registrars don’t argue once documents are complete.

Final step:
Open CSCS accounts for beneficiaries.
Transfer shares in.

Now they can:
• Hold
• Collect dividends
• Or sell on the NGX

Money unlocked.

Best route forward for the family:
✔ Start with CSCS global search
✔ Begin probate immediately
✔ Use a licensed stockbroker (not “my friend that trades”)
✔ Be patient, but structured

Confusion is expensive. Process saves money.

Final warning:
Unclaimed shares in Nigeria run into hundreds of billions.

Don’t let grief + ignorance turn real wealth into permanent loss.

If this helped, RT it.
Someone’s family needs this info more than they know.

Tithes and Cheerful Giving

I read through the comment section of the post I shared on tithing yesterday, and it became clear that many still have little idea what the Bible actually says on this subject. Much of the confusion comes from blending covenants, flattening Scripture, and turning a redemptive story into a financial rule.

The tithe in the Old Testament was not ten percent of money

Under the Mosaic Law, the tithe was NOT a simple ten percent, and it was NOT PRIMARILY MONEY. It was agricultural produce tied to the land of Israel. God commanded Israel to give a tithe of grain, wine, oil, and livestock because Israel was a theocratic nation living in a land God directly governed (Leviticus 27:30–34; Deuteronomy 14:22–29).

When all the required tithes are added together, Israel gave far more than ten percent. There was the Levitical tithe (Numbers 18:21), the festival tithe (Deuteronomy 14:23), and the poor tithe every third year (Deuteronomy 14:28–29). Altogether, it amounted to well over TWENTY THREE PERCENT annually. This was A NATIONAL TAXATION SYSTEM, not a voluntary offering.

Abraham and Joshua

Yes, Abraham gave ten percent to Melchizedek (Genesis 14:20). But note carefully what the text says and does not say. Abraham gave ONCE, from the spoils of war, voluntarily. THERE IS NO COMMAND, NO REPETITION, NO INSTRUCTION TO HIS DESCENDANTS TO DO THE SAME. Scripture describes the act; it does not prescribe it.

Jacob’s vow in Genesis 28:22 is similar. It was conditional and personal, not a command laid on God’s people. These passages show generosity, not legislation.

The tithe was made mandatory only under the Law

The tithe becomes a command only when God forms Israel as a covenant nation with a priesthood, temple, and land inheritance. The tithe supported the Levites, who had no land inheritance (Numbers 18:24). It was never designed as a universal rule for all believers in all times.

This is why Malachi 3:8 cannot be lifted out of its context and aimed at the church. Malachi is addressing Israel under the Old Covenant, specifically the priests who were corrupting temple worship. To threaten Christians with “robbing God” language is to ignore covenant boundaries.

The New Testament shifts the entire framework

When we come to the New Testament, something radical happens. The tithe is never commanded of the church. Not once. Instead, we see a DEEPER, more DEMANDING vision of giving.

In Acts, believers sold ALL their property and possessions and laid the proceeds at the apostles’ feet (Acts 2:44–45; Acts 4:34–35). This was not ten percent. IT WAS EVERYTHING. It was sacrificial, voluntary, and driven by love, not law.

Paul makes this explicit. “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). Giving under compulsion belongs to the Law. Cheerful giving belongs to grace.

Grace demands more than the tithe, not less

Here is the part many miss. The New Testament does not lower the standard. IT RAISES IT. God has not given us a percentage. He has given Himself. “You are not your own, for you were bought with a price” (1 Corinthians 6:19–20). That price was THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.

Under the gospel, God does not ask for ten percent. HE CLAIMS ALL OF US. Our money, yes. But also, our time, our families, our homes, our energy, our gifts. “Present your bodies as a living sacrifice” (Romans 12:1). That language would have shocked an Israelite living under the tithe system.

THERE IS A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A THEOCRATIC TITHE AND NEW COVENANT GENEROSITY.

The gospel frees us from percentages and binds us to love

God does not need our money. “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof” (Psalm 24:1). Giving under grace is a response, not a requirement. It is shaped by gratitude, not fear. “We love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19). The same is true of giving. When Christ gives Himself fully, He does not negotiate percentages. HE LAYS CLAIM TO THE WHOLE PERSON. “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor” (2 Corinthians 8:9). That kind of grace reshapes how we hold everything.

This is why Paul never asks, how much must you give. He asks, what does love now require. “As he may prosper” (1 Corinthians 16:2). “According to what a person has, not according to what he does not have” (2 Corinthians 8:12). Grace trains the heart to loosen its grip, not to calculate minimums.

So, giving is not about sustaining God’s work. God sustains His own work. Giving is about conforming us to Christ, breaking the power of greed, and teaching us to trust the God who “DID NOT SPARE HIS OWN SON BUT GAVE HIM UP FOR US ALL” (Romans 8:32).

That is why New Covenant giving cannot be reduced to a tithe. It is worship. It is trust. It is love responding to Love.

The tithe was a shadow. Christ is the substance. And once you see that, you stop asking, “How much do I have to give?” and start asking, “HOW CAN MY WHOLE LIFE HONOUR THE ONE WHO GAVE EVERYTHING FOR ME?”

The biggest edge I've had in my life is not in the charts but because I walk with Christ

I have had low moments as I have spoke about before

Feeling like the weight of the world was crushing me at times

But through the power of the almighty I made this happen

I went from watching interviews from successful traders on my lunch shift dreaming about that one day being me

To now pulling in yearly salaries in one day

I can't say that would have been possible without the almighty backing me

I'm not here to push my faith on you convince you to embrace Christ

But to show you my path

What led me here

I lost $600,000 in 3 hours while shopping in Tokyo.

Stopped out twice on the same position.

Both directions.

Here's what saved my account:

Trading from Tokyo. Pre-market. Took 100 lots of $NQ long. Scaled in clean.

Within 2 hours I was down $400k.

Trump tweeted. Market tanking on tariff news. Got stopped out.

Thought: "Okay, now it's finally breaking lower."

Went short immediately.

Trump tweeted again.
Positive on China.
Market ripped.

Stopped out on the upside. Both ways.

Same morning. $600k gone.

Here's the insane part:

I'm walking around Tokyo shopping with my wife while this is happening. Check my phone: down $80k. Put it away. Pull it out 5 minutes later: down $250k. Sat down at a cafe. Down $290k. Bounced a bit. Down $90k.

First instinct: "I can get back to break even from here."

Wrong.

$90k became $400k.
Stopped out.

Then flipped short.
Stopped out again.

The lesson everyone misses:

After that second stop out, I wanted to keep going.

That voice saying "just get it back" was devilish loud.

But a $600k loss can become $1M+ if you chase it.

So I did something I rarely do:

Stopped trading completely.

Took the rest of the day off.

Just watched.

Market grinded up 300 points by close.

Frustrating to watch.

But I knew my decision-making was compromised.

The real test in trading isn't bouncing back immediately - it's knowing when to step away.

Two or three losses in a row?

That's the signal to stop, not to size up.

I'm not invincible. None of us are.

The market doesn't care about your ego.

What matters is what you do after the loss.

Friday night I cleared my head.

Woke up in a new timezone.

Market still open. Took 20 lots of Bitcoin on a bounce.

Sold Monday on the gap up. Made $275k back. Half the loss recovered.

By end of the following week?

Made back the full $600k plus another $450K-$500k on $NQ and Ethereum.

The point: Don't chase. Take the loss. Step back. Come back clear.

Revenge trading is the fastest way to turn a bad day into a blown account.

Not everything spiritual is Christ. Some things can work and still be wrong. Pharaoh’s magicians threw down their rods and they became serpents.
The witch of Endor called up a spirit that looked like Samuel. A pagan king sacrificed his son and the tide of battle turned. It worked, but it was not God. They touched the realm of the spirit, but not the heart of the Father.

Paul said, “The law is not of faith, but the man that does them shall live by them” (Galatians 3:12). In other words, spiritual principles can produce results even when faith is absent, but only faith in Christ produces life. The real issue is never “Did it work?” The question is “Did it glorify Christ?”

And that is why, in one of the greatest spiritual seminars ever held, Matthew 6, the Lord Himself confronted this. He picked the three most common spiritual practices: giving, praying, and fasting. He said, “When you give… when you pray… when you fast,” and then immediately warned, “Do not do them like the heathen and the hypocrites.” That was not a suggestion; it was a diagnostic. It means there is a heathen way and a hypocritical way to engage what is otherwise holy. The heathen do these things to get results; the hypocrites do them to get recognition. But sons do them to reveal relationship. The Lord was saying, “Don’t just do the act, discern the spirit behind the act.”

Heaven is not impressed by activity; it is moved by alignment. You can pray long and still miss God if the heart behind it is pride. You can give generously and still miss grace if the motive is manipulation. You can fast for forty days and still hunger for applause. The heathen seek to twist spiritual systems; the hypocrite seeks to impress men; but the child of God seeks to please the Father who sees in secret. Jesus dismantled performance spirituality. He taught that true giving flows in secret, true prayer flows in simplicity, and true fasting flows in joy. These acts do not create grace, they celebrate it.

So yes, prayer, fasting, and giving are spiritual, but they are only alive when they begin and end in Christ. We don’t fast to move God; we fast because He already moved toward us. We don’t pray to get His attention; we pray because we already have His audience. We don’t give to buy favour; we give because favour already found us. Every spiritual act outside Christ becomes self-effort, but inside Christ it becomes Spirit-expression.

This is the loud truth: spirituality without Christ is performance with polish. It produces motion without meaning, sacrifice without submission, and results without redemption. Jesus said, “Your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” That means the secret place is not about hiding the act; it’s about revealing the heart. What God rewards is not the work of your hands but the worship of your heart.

So examine your motives. When the answer comes, who gets the glory? If it exalts your method, it is religion. If it exalts your Saviour, it is revelation. True spirituality doesn’t boast, it bows. It doesn’t strive, it abides. It doesn’t compete, it communes. It doesn’t manipulate, it magnifies Christ.

Everything that truly begins, continues, and ends in Him will not only work, it will transform, heal, and endure. That’s the kind of spirituality Jesus taught: not the striving of servants but the rest of sons; not the noise of religion but the melody of grace. For in Him, prayer becomes power, fasting becomes fellowship, and giving becomes gratitude, all flowing from the finished work of Christ.
