I'm manifesting it all in 2026.
I watched a Kevin Hart interview recently where He talked about a time when he was struggling; his rent was due, eviction was close, and he was desperate for a solution.
He went to his mum for help, and instead of giving him money, she kept asking one question - "are you reading your Bible?"
Each time, he said yes. He was lying.
What he didn’t know was that his mum had already solved the problem. She had signed cheques and hidden them inside his Bible. The help he was crying for was sitting right in the place he claimed to be visiting, but wasn’t. The day he finally opened the Bible ti study, he found cheques, his answer waiting for him.
That story reminded me of a similar experience I had with my Dad when I was in JSS3, Junior WAEC period. Those days when exam students were always in school earlier than everyone else, staying back longer, tired, hungry, stressed. I remember my dad giving me my normal pocket money, and then still put extra cash inside my hard-copy new Bible without saying telling me about it.
I didn’t know until later.
I remember that I ran out of the normal pocket money and was struggling to keep up. On a Sunday morning we were going to the Chapel, and I carried my Bible along. It was in the middle of service I saw the money - it was about N5k or so. It felt like a miracle. How did I not see this. I quizzed and thanked God so much.
After the exams, when we were home, I asked my Dad why he did that, and he explained that sometimes we get carried away, even as children, and forget to spend time in the Word. Putting the money there was his own way of nudging me back. His own way of saying, "when you need something, go to God first."
I’ve never forgotten that.
Now that I think about it, both stories are saying a similar thing. Our parents were doing more than helping us financially. They were laying foundations, and teaching us that when life starts to press, when things are tight, when you’re confused or stuck, your first response should be God - go to the Word.
It's not because every time you open the Bible money will fall out, but because answers live there, you'll find direction there, and wisdom lives there too. Sometimes what you need may not be provision, it may be clarity or peace, or just strength to keep going.
And honestly, many times, what we’re praying about is already waiting for us in the Word of God we say we believe, but don’t always remember to go back to.
I think one of the most beautiful legacies we can leave for our children, or live out, is a life that keeps returning to God. Not only when things scatter, but all the time. Because the more we go back to Him, the more we realise that He’s been there all along, with answers we didn’t know we needed.
If you're currently being pressed by life, go to the word of God. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the actual verse that holds the answer that you need. You'd be surprised how much solutions you'd find in the word of God.
