God created you and he loves you so much. Because of his love he wants you to prosper and be happy. Jeremiah 29:11. When you are going through a rough time and things don’t seem to go where you want them to go, do not forget this. Satan’s mission is to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10) so he will never allow you to focus on what God has done for you, he will keep reminding you of what you have failed to achieve. And in the process you may completely forget all the good things that God has done for you. Reading God’s word will help you remember what good things he has done for you and also restore your confidence that God wishes you to be happy. (3 John 1:2)
May God bless you.

DON’T GIVE UP YET
You feel like you have done the right thing for so long. Most of your friends and family think you are crazy (or perhaps bewitched) because you seem to be throwing away everything you have achieved (skills, contacts, property, ideas, etc). It looks like you are losing everything but you have tried so hard to remain faithful. Everyone around you simply says “this is survival man” and “Are you going to eat the truth? Is the truth going to put food on your table? Will the truth pay your children’s fees? Will you wear the truth? Will your car run on the truth? Are you going to pay the landlord rent or the truth?
Everyone seems to be saying “I am not the first and I won’t be the last to do it” which means that the truth depends on who is telling.
The good news is that God is telling you that he has heard your cry! He is asking you to remain faithful even when you feel like it is impossible. He says that the righteous shall live by faith (Rom 1:17). God says that without faith it is impossible to please him (Heb 11:6).

WEALTH IS NOT TANGIBLE
We have been deceived for so long that wealth is how much property you have, how expensive the car you drive is, the clothes you wear are, the places you hang out are... and the list goes on.
Let me ask you this. Do you believe that poverty is a mentality? I mean we have heard that so many times as the reason why Africa, South America and some Asian countries have so many poor people. If you believe that these people are poor because that is how they think, why is it so difficult to believe that the exact opposite is a wealthy mentality?
It is my strong belief that wealth cannot be perceived by our five senses; ie. you cannot see it, smell it, feel it, touch it or taste it. The only thing about wealth that our five senses can perceive are the fruits or physical manifestations of people who have a wealthy mentality. I must hastily add here that most people we think are wealthy are infact so far from that because if you observe their behaviour, you will have no doubt that it is consistent with a poverty mentality. Let me give you the most obvious example. How many people whom we consider wealthy spend the biggest part of their time proving to everyone and anyone that they are wealthy. In my understanding of a wealthy mentality, you don't have to prove to anyone that you are wealthy.
This however brings in another puzzling question. Who are the wealthy people then? This is what I know. Most wealthy people have no idea how wealthy they are. This is because of lack of knowledge and the lie most of us have believed for so long that wealth is what you have (kyolinawo). The Bible says in Hosea 4:6—My people are DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE, because you have REJECTED KNOWLEDGE .......
There is a lot more and I will add to this but let this give you food for thought for now.
