SEVEN THINGS YOU MUST DO IF YOU WANT TO GET RICH (BACKED WITH BIBLE PRINCIPLES)

 

A Deep, Transformational Guide for Those Who Are Tired of Financial Struggles and Ready for Change

 INTRODUCTION 

Everyone wants to be rich, but only a few truly understand what wealth requires. Wealth is not accidental. Nobody wakes up one morning and suddenly becomes rich-except in movies or lottery dreams. Real riches come from principles, discipline, favor, wisdom, and actions consistently applied.

There is a reason the Bible says in Proverbs 10:22, “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it.”

This scripture did not say the blessing falls on lazy people… or confused people… or those who only wish for success.

The blessing of the Lord rests on working hands, disciplined minds, and obedient hearts.

Let’s be honest:

Money is one of the major areas where many Christians, youths, parents, and families are struggling today. Some people pray round the clock but still see no financial breakthrough. Others hustle day and night but never see results. Some start businesses but everything collapses. Others are gifted yet broke. Some are intelligent but still financially stranded.

But the truth is this:

** God never designed money to be mysterious. He attached wealth to principles.

**God is not biased- He blesses principles, not emotions.

**If you obey His principles, you rise. If you break them, you struggle.

This is why some unbelievers are rich- not because God loves them more, but because they are following principles believers ignore.

Today, as you read this blog post, I pray God opens your spirit to understand that wealth is not luck; wealth is alignment with spiritual and practical laws.

Before we enter the seven major things, let me share a story that will prepare your mind…

 STORY: THE MAN WHO HAD A MILLION INSIDE HIM BUT DIDN’T KNOW

There was a man called Samuel. Samuel grew up in a small community where poverty was normal. Everyone around him believed that life would always be hard. In his mind, he also believed that “maybe God didn’t create him for wealth.”

He prayed, he fasted, he cried- but nothing changed.

One day, his pastor told him something that changed his entire destiny:

“Samuel, wealth is not a miracle you receive; wealth is a version of yourself you become.”

Samuel didn’t understand. The pastor explained:

“If I drop 5 million naira in your life today, but your mind is still poor, the money will return to zero. But if your mind becomes wealthy, even if you fall today, you will rise again.”

That statement hit him like thunder.

He suddenly realized that poverty was not only around him- poverty was inside him, in his thinking, speaking, actions, associations, habits, and daily decisions.

So he made a promise to himself:

“I may not come from wealth…

but wealth will come from me.”

Samuel changed seven things in his life- the EXACT seven things you are about to read.

Within two years, his income multiplied.

Not because he was lucky, but because he aligned with principles.

The same thing can happen to you.

These seven principles are not theory; they are laws. They work anywhere, anytime, for anyone who applies them.

Let us begin.

 1. DISCIPLINE YOUR MINDSET IF YOU WANT TO BE RICH (The Wealth Mindset Shift)

Wealth starts inside, not outside.

The Bible says:

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” – Proverbs 23:7

A poor mindset will produce a poor life.

A wealthy mindset will produce a wealthy life.

If your mind is small, your money will always remain small.

If your mind is fearful, you will avoid opportunities. If your mind is doubtful, you will sabotage your own progress.

Most people want wealth but carry mindsets like:

❌ “Life is too hard.”

❌ “Money is never enough.”

❌ “Wealth is for lucky people.”

❌ “People like us can’t be rich.”

❌ “I want money but I hate business.”

❌ “I can never be like successful people.”

This is poverty speaking- not you.

 Before your pocket changes, your mind must change.

**Your mindset determines:

**How much you believe you deserve

**How much you attract

**How much you keep

**How far you go

**How boldly you move

 How to Build a Wealthy Mindset:

**Stop speaking lack. Words become reality.

**Study successful people. Not to envy them, but to understand them.

**Expose your mind to possibilities. Watch, read, listen, learn.

**Declare daily wealth affirmations. The more you say it, the more you believe it.

**Remove mental poverty. Avoid “lack mentality”- fearing to invest, fearing to grow, fearing to try.

Remember:

You cannot rise above your mindset.

 2. DEVELOP A SKILL AND BECOME EXCELLENT IN IT

Prayers are powerful. But prayer without skill is frustration.

God blesses work, not wishes.

The Bible says:

“Do you see a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before kings.” – Proverbs 22:29

If you want to be rich, you must have something you do that carries value.

 The Formula is Simple:

High Skill = High Value → High Money

Your skill could be:

**Content creation

**Makeup

**Fashion

**Baking

**Speaking

**Digital marketing

**Teaching

**Business strategies

**Tech skills

**Craftsmanship

**Hair making

**Editing

**Trading

**And many more

The problem is many people want wealth but are lazy with skill.

They want money without value.

They want income without excellence.

 To become wealthy:

**Pick one skill

**Develop it

**Practice it daily

**Improve it

**Sell it

**Multiply it

Because wealth flows to value, not wishes.

 3. MANAGE MONEY LIKE A STEWARD, NOT A SPENDER

If you cannot manage ₦10,000, God will never trust you with ₦10 million.

Money responds to management.

The Bible says:

“He that is faithful in little will be faithful in much.” – Luke 16:10

Most people don’t have money problems—they have management problems.

Common habits that block wealth:

❌ Eating your seed

❌ Spending without planning

❌ Borrowing to impress

❌ Buying what you don’t need

❌ Not saving

❌ Not investing

❌ Refusing to track expenses

You must learn:

**Budgeting

**Saving

**Discipline

**Delayed gratification

**Investment strategy

Wealth is not just what you earn; it is what you keep and how you multiply it.

 4. BUILD MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME

One income stream is too dangerous in today’s world.

If your job ends today, will your income end too?

The Bible says:

“Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight…” – Ecclesiastes 11:2

Even God is telling you:

One stream is not enough.

You can add:

**A small side business

**A digital product

**A skill-based service

**Online sales

**Affiliate marketing

**YouTube

**Content monetization

**Rentals

**Real estate

**Agriculture

**Freelancing

Start small.

Grow big.

 5. SOW SEEDS AND GIVE INTENTIONALLY

This is a principle many try to ignore, but you cannot escape it.

The Bible says:

“Give, and it shall be given unto you…” – Luke 6:38

Giving is not loss—it is a spiritual investment.

Every rich person is a giver.

Saraka (seed) provokes:

**Divine favor

**Open doors

**Unexpected help

**Kingdom backing

**Spiritual covering

You must give to:

**God

**The poor

**Your parents

**Kingdom projects

**The needy

**Those who can’t pay you back

Giving breaks financial barriers.

Giving makes wealth flow.

 6. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH WISE AND SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE

Your environment is a prophecy.

Your friends determine your future.

The Bible says:

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise…” – Proverbs 13:20

If everyone around you is:

**Negative

**Unambitious

**Fearful

**Lazy

**Jealous

**Broke-minded

You will never rise.

You need people that stretch you, inspire you, challenge you, and expose you to opportunities.

 7. PRAY FOR OPEN DOORS AND DIVINE FAVOR

Hard work alone cannot make you rich.

Skill alone cannot make you rich.

Intelligence alone cannot make you rich.

You need favor.

The Bible says:

“Remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth.” – Deuteronomy 8:18

Favor can take you where effort cannot.

Favor can open doors your certificate cannot open.

Favor can give you opportunities your background cannot give.

You must pray daily:

“Lord, open doors for me.”

“Lord, connect me to destiny helpers.”

“Lord, give me favor in the eyes of men.”

“Lord, let grace speak for me.”

PRAYER FOR WEALTH & OPEN DOORS

Lay your right hand on your chest as you pray:

“Father, in the name of Jesus, I decree over my life:

Every financial stagnation is broken.

Every ancestral poverty is canceled.

Every limitation on my income is destroyed.

My hands are blessed.

My ideas are blessed.

I receive wisdom for wealth.

I receive grace for abundance.

Doors will open for me.

Helpers will locate me.

Money will not pass me by.

I walk into opportunities.

I walk into favor.

I walk into prosperity.

From today, wealth and riches shall dwell in my house.

In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!”

 SARAKA (PROPHETIC SEED INSTRUCTION

)

If you believe this message, then do this:

Give a seed according to your faith.

Not to buy a miracle, but to connect spiritually to what you desire.

It could be any amount that your spirit leads.

As you give:

Pray for open doors

Declare your financial targets

Command helpers to locate you

Ask God to bless the work of your hands

Your saraka is your spiritual key.

Your action is your prophetic agreement.

Your faith is your currency of heaven.

The God who multiplies seed will multiply yours.

 CONCLUSION

Wealth is not a dream- it is a journey. And that journey begins when you commit to these seven principles. You will not remain where you are. Your finances will not remain stagnant. Your story will not end in struggle.

This is your season to rise.
