From Material to Mastery to Spiritual: The Real Wealth Journey

Matthew 6:21 (NKJV)

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

3 John 1:2 (NKJV)

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”

Luke 16:11 (NKJV)

“Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?”

The Shift That Changed Everything

The biggest shift in my financial life didn’t come from working more hours or chasing more opportunities.

It came when I started working more on my mind, and less on my behind.

---

The Three Dimensions of Wealth

See, we’ve been trained to think money is all about labor, hustle, and physical work. But the lowest level of financial flow is material.

That’s where most people live—chasing things they can touch, wear, and post. But that level never satisfies.

---

1. Material

The pursuit of:

1. Things
2. Appearances
3. External validation

It’s the surface level—and it’s not enough.

---

2. Mastery

This is where transformation begins.

You start to understand:

• Your thoughts
• Your emotions
• Your spending habits

You realize:
💡 Money is spiritual.
Until your mind shifts, your money won’t multiply.

You become a steward, not just a consumer.
You learn to manage what God gives with intentionality.

---

3. Spiritual

This is the highest stage.

It’s when you:

• Stop worshiping money
• Start worshiping the One who owns it all

It’s when your:

• Hands are open
• Heart is clean
• Motives are pure

And you realize…

If God told you to give it all away—you would.

Not because you’re reckless,
But because you’re rooted.

Because God’s presence matters more than any possession.

A Tale of Two Testimonies 📝

Let me share two moments that forever shaped how I view wealth, giving, and the heart of God.

---

Testimony #1: The Man with Everything

He had it all:

• Wealth
• Properties
• Status

He gave generously, yet something was off.

I gently asked him:

“Would you give it all away if God told you to?”

He paused—not from disobedience, but because something inside him still equated value with possessions.

Weeks later, he came back changed—not because he lost anything, but because he had surrendered.

He said:

“I realized I had money, but I didn’t have peace. Now, I have both.” 💖

---

Testimony #2: The Family with Little, but Rich in God

This family didn’t have:

• Luxury
• Big titles

But they were rich in God.

Their home was:

• Modest
• Humble
• Filled with peace and presence

They told me:

“You’ve changed our lives.”

Truth be told, they changed mine.

That day, they gave a $35,000 donation to our ministry, COC Community.

It wasn’t just about the amount.

It was the heart behind it. ❤️

The Greatest Lesson I’ve Learned

Blessings don’t always come from the rich.

Sometimes they come from those who are:

• Wealthy in love
• Rich in honor
• Rooted in obedience

---

Godly Wisdom from Humble Places

I’ve learned more about:

• God’s character
• Love
• Community
• Integrity

…from senior citizens than from the wealthiest rooms.
Their wisdom isn’t flashy—but it’s faithful.

---

So, Whether You Have Much or Little…

Here’s the truth:

• If you don’t have much
  It’s possible you already have a deep connection with God.
  But don’t ignore the call to grow, progress, and master what He’s given you.
• If you have a lot
  Remember: God doesn’t want your money—He wants your heart.
  Let Him use your riches as a tool for transformation, not a trophy of success.

---

True Riches Are Not Measured in Digits

They’re found in:

• How you love
• How you give
• How you obey

We’re not chasing money—
We’re chasing God, purpose, and progress. 🙌

Because stewardship, not status, is what makes you truly wealthy.
