0:00Have you ever opened your banking app,
0:02looked at the balance, closed it,
0:05and then opened it again a minute later
0:07as though the numbers might have
0:08repented?
0:10Do not be embarrassed. Half the world
0:12has done it.
0:13We stare at that little figure the way a
0:15hungry man stares into a refrigerator he
0:18already knows is empty, hoping that
0:20somehow between the first look and the
0:22second, a roast chicken has appeared.
0:25Well, I am here to [music] tell you that
0:27something can appear, perhaps not in the
0:30refrigerator, but certainly in your
0:32life. Money can come to you from
0:34directions you never thought to look,
0:37through people you never expected to
0:38help, at the very moment it is needed,
0:42and the door it walks through is not
0:44your worry.
0:45It is your word. Today,
0:48I am going to give you a secret daily
0:50decree, a few simple sentences you speak
0:53every morning that set the invisible
0:55machinery in motion to bring you
0:57unexpected money under grace and in
1:00divine timing. By the end of our time
1:02together, you will know the words, you
1:04will know why they work, you will know
1:06why most people cancel them 5 minutes
1:08after saying them, and you will know how
1:10to stop doing that yourself.
1:12Now, before we go any further,
1:15I want you to know that I understand
1:17exactly where you are.
1:19You have been praying,
1:21you have been affirming, you have
1:22written things on little pieces of paper
1:25and stuck them to the mirror until the
1:26mirror looks like a ransom note. You
1:29have watched the videos, you have said
1:30the words, and the rent still arrived on
1:33the first of the month with no sense of
1:35humor whatsoever. Perhaps you have even
1:38begun to whisper to yourself, "This
1:40works for other people, but it does not
1:42work for me."
1:43I want to gently say that this thought
1:46is the very thing standing at the gate
1:48turning your good away.
1:50But I do not blame you for thinking it.
1:52When you have been disappointed often
1:54enough, disappointment begins to feel
1:56like wisdom. It is not wisdom. It is
1:59simply a habit, and habits can be
2:01changed. I want to pause here for a
2:03moment because many of you have written
2:05to me asking for something you can hold
2:07in your hands, something to walk with
2:09day by day instead of watching one video
2:12and forgetting it by Thursday.
2:14So, I have prepared two companions for
2:16you.
2:16The first is the Command and Manifest
2:18ebook, which will guide you through your
2:20manifestation journey step by step. It
2:23explains how your spoken word shapes
2:25your conditions, how to build decrees
2:28for money, love, health,
2:30>> [music]
2:30>> and direction.
2:31And how to stop the quiet sabotage that
2:33undoes your good. The second is the
2:3630-days manifestation journal, and this
2:39is where the teaching becomes practice.
2:41[music] Each day gives you a decree to
2:42speak,
2:44a short reflection, and space to record
2:46the little signs and surprises that show
2:48you the law is moving. The ebook gives
2:51you the understanding, and the journal
2:53gives you the discipline.
2:54Used together, they are like a map
2:56[music]
2:56and a pair of good walking shoes.
2:58You may have one without the other,
3:01but you will travel much further with
3:02both.
3:04The link to both is in the description
3:05below.
3:07Now, let us return to the matter of your
3:09money. Here is the core challenge, and I
3:12want you to hear it clearly.
3:14Your problem is not that money is
3:16scarce.
3:17Your problem is that you have been
3:19trying to tell God exactly how to send
3:21it. Most people pray the way a backseat
3:24driver gives directions.
3:26Lord,
3:27I need 500,000 naira, and I would like
3:30it to come through my brother-in-law who
3:31owes me money,
3:33and I would like it by Friday.
3:35And please make him apologize when he
3:37pays.
3:38And then we wonder why heaven seems to
3:40have taken a different road. The supply
3:43is infinite, but the channels you can
3:45imagine are very few.
3:47When you insist that your good must
3:49arrive through the one door you can see,
3:51you shut all the doors you cannot see.
3:53And the doors you cannot see are the
3:55great majority of them.
3:57This matters because the way you think
3:58about money becomes the way money
4:00behaves toward you. If you believe it
4:03comes only through hard struggle, it
4:05will come through hard struggle and only
4:07just enough to keep you struggling. If
4:09you believe it is held tightly in the
4:11hands of a few stingy people, you will
4:13find yourself always standing in front
4:15of stingy people with your hand out.
4:18But if you come to understand that your
4:19supply comes from a source that is never
4:21stingy, never late, and never confused
4:24about your address,
4:26then money begins to arrive in ways that
4:28look, from the outside,
4:30almost like accidents.
4:33People will call it luck.
4:34You will know better. I once knew a
4:36woman who was a seamstress,
4:38good at her work, honest, always behind
4:41on her bills.
4:42She came to me in a terrible state
4:43because a large payment she was counting
4:45on had fallen through.
4:47A client had simply changed her mind
4:48about an order.
4:50The woman said [music] to me,
4:52"That was my only hope."
4:54And I said to her,
4:55"That was never your hope.
4:57That was only a channel.
4:59Your hope is the infinite,
5:01and the infinite has a thousand channels
5:03you have not yet met."
5:05She did not quite believe me,
5:07which is perfectly normal.
5:09But I gave her a decree to say,
5:11>> [music]
5:11>> and I asked her to say it every morning,
5:13and then to go about her business as if
5:15the money were already on its way.
5:17About 11 days later,
5:19a woman she had sewn a single dress for
5:212 years before walked into her shop,
5:24said she had been thinking of her for no
5:26reason at all,
5:27and placed an order for her daughter's
5:29entire wedding party.
5:31It was more than three times the payment
5:33that had fallen through.
5:34The seamstress said to me, "Where did
5:36that come from?" And I said,
5:39"From the place it always comes from.
5:41>> [music]
5:41>> You simply stopped standing in the
5:43doorway.
5:44So, let me give you a simple framework
5:46because the law is not mysterious once
5:48you see its shape.
5:50There are three movements to unexpected
5:51money.
5:52I call them the word, the ditch, and the
5:55release.
5:57Remember those three.
5:59The word, the ditch, and the release.
6:02The word is your decree.
6:04You see, your word is not just a sound.
6:07It is a seed, and it is a command.
6:10When you speak [music] with conviction,
6:12you are giving instruction to your
6:13subconscious mind, which is the part of
6:15you that runs your habits, your
6:17expectations, and your attention.
6:20And through that mind, you are in touch
6:22with the great creative power behind all
6:24things.
6:25The subconscious does not argue.
6:28It does not have a sense of humor,
6:30and it does not know when you are
6:31joking.
6:32If you say, "I am always broke." every
6:35morning while brushing your teeth, it
6:37takes notes like a very obedient
6:39secretary, and arranges your day
6:41accordingly.
6:42If you say instead, "I am a child of an
6:45abundant source, and my supply comes to
6:47me in unexpected ways." the same
6:49secretary gets to work on that. You are
6:52already decreeing every day. The only
6:54question is whether you are decreeing on
6:57purpose.
6:58There is even a practical side to this
7:00that the scientists will be happy with.
7:02Your mind has a sort of filter in it, a
7:04part of the brain that decides what you
7:06notice among millions of details.
7:08Have you ever bought a red car and
7:10suddenly seen red cars everywhere?
7:12They were always there.
7:14Your attention simply got new
7:15instructions. When you decree unexpected
7:18money every morning,
7:19>> [music]
7:19>> you are giving your attention new
7:21instructions.
7:22You begin to notice the opportunity in
7:24the conversation, the forgotten refund,
7:27the person who could use your skill, the
7:28idea that comes in the shower. Money
7:30that was walking past you all along
7:32suddenly stops and says,
7:33>> [music]
7:33>> "Hello." Now, the second movement is the
7:35ditch.
7:37And this is the part almost everyone
7:38skips.
7:40In the old scripture, there is a story
7:41of three kings marching through a desert
7:43with their armies and they ran out of
7:45water.
7:46Men and animals were dying of thirst.
7:49They went to the prophet and the prophet
7:51said a very strange thing.
7:53He said,
7:54"Make this valley full of ditches."
7:57And he told them they would see neither
7:58wind nor rain,
8:00>> [music]
8:00>> yet the valley would be filled with
8:01water.
8:02Imagine being one of those soldiers.
8:04>> [music]
8:04>> You are dying of thirst in the desert
8:07and a man tells you to pick up a shovel
8:09and dig holes for water that is not
8:10raining.
8:12I imagine there was some grumbling.
8:14I imagine someone said,
8:16"I did not join the army to dig puddles
8:18for invisible weather."
8:20But they dug.
8:21And in the morning, the water came and
8:23it filled every ditch they had made.
8:26Do you see it? [music]
8:28The water came without wind or rain.
8:30That means it came through no channel
8:32they could have predicted.
8:34That is unexpected money.
8:36But it could only fill the ditches they
8:38had already prepared.
8:39Your ditch is your act of faith.
8:43It is the thing you do that shows you
8:45truly expect your good. If you are
8:47praying for money, but you have no place
8:49in your life ready to receive it, no
8:51plan for it, no gratitude for what you
8:53already have, no step taken in its
8:55direction,
8:56then you are praying for rain with your
8:58cup turned upside down. So,
9:01>> [music]
9:01>> what does digging a ditch look like in
9:02ordinary life?
9:04It may be opening a separate little
9:05savings envelope labeled unexpected
9:08money and putting even a small coin
9:10[music] in it as a sign that you are
9:12expecting more to join it.
9:14It may be writing the bill you need to
9:16pay and then writing beneath it, "Paid
9:18in full under grace."
9:21It may be cleaning out the cupboard
9:23because nature abhors a vacuum and loves
9:25to fill an empty space.
9:27It may be preparing the proposal,
9:29sending the email, finishing the product
9:32you have been sitting on for 2 years.
9:34A woman I I wanted a holiday she could
9:36not afford.
9:37Instead of waiting until she had the
9:39money, she bought a small travel bag.
9:42Just the bag.
9:44She said she felt very silly carrying it
9:46home.
9:47Within a few weeks, a relative invited
9:50her to come along on a trip, fully paid.
9:52Her bag was ready. Her ditch was dug.
9:55And here is the funny thing.
9:57Your ditch does not have to be large. It
10:00only has to be sincere.
10:02Heaven is not impressed by the size of
10:04your shovel.
10:05Heaven is impressed by the fact that you
10:07picked one up. [music]
10:08Now, the third movement, and this is the
10:10hardest of all, the release. [music]
10:13Once you have spoken the word and dug
10:15the ditch, you must let go. You must
10:17stop checking.
10:19You must stop lying awake at night
10:20working out exactly how the money will
10:22come and whether it will be on time.
10:24Worry is simply faith in reverse. It is
10:27believing just as strongly only in the
10:29wrong outcome.
10:31When you [music] worry,
10:32you are digging up the seed every
10:33morning to see if it has sprouted. And
10:36nothing grows that is dug up every
10:38morning.
10:39This is where divine timing comes in.
10:41Divine timing does not mean your good is
10:43late. It means your good arrives when
10:45you are ready to receive it and when it
10:47can bless you without harming anyone.
10:50Have you ever noticed how a fruit picked
10:52too early is hard and sour?
10:54And the same fruit picked at the right
10:56time is sweet.
10:57Heaven does not deliver sour fruit. When
11:00you ask for things to come under grace
11:02and in divine timing,
11:04you are asking for the sweet version.
11:06You are asking for the money that comes
11:08without strain, without loss to another,
11:11without strings that will tie you up
11:13later.
11:14Some money comes with a terrible price.
11:17Some opportunities look like gold and
11:19turn out to be a lion's den with nice
11:21curtains.
11:22When you decree under grace, you are
11:24protected from all that. I remember a
11:26man who was waiting on a sum of money
11:29and he grew impatient and decided to
11:31force things. He pushed and argued and
11:33threatened,
11:34and he did get the money, but it came
11:36with a lawsuit attached and cost him
11:38twice what it gave him.
11:40He said to me afterward,
11:42"I should have let it come in its own
11:43way."
11:44That is the whole teaching in one
11:46sentence.
11:47Let it come in its own way.
11:49Your job is the word in the ditch. God's
11:51job is the how and the when.
11:55And God is very good at his job.
11:57So now,
11:58let me give you the decree.
12:00I want you to say this every morning,
12:02ideally before you look at your phone,
12:05because the phone is full of other
12:06people's fears, and you want your own
12:08word to get there first. Say it aloud if
12:10you can, with feeling, as though you are
12:12giving an order and not asking a favor.
12:15Here it is.
12:16I now give thanks for unexpected money
12:18that comes to me under grace and in
12:20perfect ways.
12:22My supply comes from the infinite, and
12:24the infinite has a thousand channels I
12:26know nothing of.
12:27Every door that is meant for me now
12:29opens, and every door that is not meant
12:31for me now closes.
12:33I let go of the how, and I let go of the
12:35when.
12:36My good arrives in divine timing,
12:38without strain and without loss to
12:40anyone.
12:41I am ready to receive, and I receive
12:43with gratitude. It is done.
12:46Let me tell you why each part matters,
12:48so you are not simply repeating words
12:50like a parrot who has learned to say
12:51good morning. You begin with thanks,
12:54because gratitude is the language of
12:56faith.
12:57You do not thank someone for something
12:58you do not believe you will receive.
13:01When you say thank you in advance, you
13:03have already crossed from hoping into
13:05knowing.
13:06Then you declare that your supply comes
13:07from the infinite, which moves your eyes
13:09off your boss, off your customers, off
13:12your brother-in-law.
13:13They may become channels, but they are
13:15not the source. Then you open the right
13:17doors and close the wrong ones,
13:20which protects you from the lion's den
13:21[music] with the nice curtains.
13:23Then you release the how and the when.
13:26And this is the line most people would
13:27rather skip because we all secretly want
13:30to keep control of the timetable.
13:32Then you declare that it comes without
13:34strain and without loss, which keeps
13:36your good clean.
13:37And you end with
13:39it is done.
13:40Because a decree is finished business. A
13:42king does not issue a command and then
13:44add,
13:45"If it is not too much trouble, maybe."
13:48Now, here is the part I promised you at
13:50the beginning.
13:51Why do most people cancel their decree 5
13:53minutes after saying it?
13:55It is quite simple. They say the
13:57beautiful words in the morning
13:59and then they walk into the kitchen and
14:00say,
14:01"Everything is so expensive these days.
14:04We will never get ahead."
14:06>> [music]
14:06>> Or
14:07they meet a friend and spend an hour
14:09discussing how terrible the economy is,
14:11how nobody is paying, how the whole
14:13country is going to ruin, and without
14:15realizing it, they have issued a second
14:17decree that cancels the first.
14:19Your subconscious hears both.
14:21It then has to choose
14:23and it usually chooses the one spoken
14:25with the most emotion.
14:27And I'm afraid complaining is often
14:29spoken with a great deal more feeling
14:31than affirming. So, you must watch your
14:33words through the day as carefully as
14:35you watch your purse in a crowded
14:37market.
14:38When you catch yourself about to say, "I
14:40can't afford it," say instead, "That is
14:43not in my plan right now." Or even
14:45better, "My supply is on its way."
14:47When someone tells you a story of lack
14:49and gloom, you need not argue with them,
14:51but you can silently say to yourself,
14:54"That is not my story."
14:56This is not denial of facts.
14:58It is refusing to sign your name to a
15:00contract with fear.
15:01I knew a woman who made a little game of
15:03this.
15:04Every time she caught herself saying
15:06something negative about money, she put
15:08a small coin in a jar.
15:10At first, she said, "The jar filled up
15:13alarmingly fast."
15:15She was shocked at how often she was
15:16cursing her own finances without knowing
15:18it, but after a few weeks, the jar
15:21filled more slowly. and around the same
15:23time, she said, "Little sums began
15:26showing up from odd directions.
15:28A forgotten insurance refund,
15:31a neighbor who wanted to buy a chair she
15:32had been meaning to throw away,
15:34a client who paid an old invoice she had
15:36written off. None of it was dramatic,
15:38but all of it was unexpected, and all of
15:40it came once she stopped canceling her
15:42own good." I want to address something
15:45else, because some of you are thinking,
15:47"This sounds very nice, but I have real
15:49bills and real deadlines." Of course you
15:51do. I am not asking you to ignore them.
15:55I am asking you to stop giving them the
15:56throne.
15:58Pay what you can, plan what you must,
16:00work where you are led, but do it from a
16:03place of trust instead of a place of
16:05panic. Panic makes poor decisions. Panic
16:09signs bad agreements, borrows at
16:11terrible rates,
16:12>> [music]
16:12>> and snaps at the very people who might
16:15have helped.
16:16Trust thinks clearly. Trust notices
16:19opportunity.
16:21Trust is pleasant to be around, and
16:23people are far more willing to do
16:24business with a pleasant person than a
16:26frantic one.
16:27So, even on the most practical level,
16:29faith is good economics.
16:31There is also the matter of the hunch,
16:34or what I like to call your divine
16:36direction.
16:37When you have spoken your decree and
16:39released it, you will sometimes feel a
16:41little nudge to do something that seems
16:43[music] unrelated. Call a certain
16:45person.
16:46Go a different way to work. Pick up that
16:48skill you dropped years ago.
16:50Visit a shop you never visit. Pay
16:52attention to these.
16:54Unexpected money very often walks in
16:56wearing the clothes of a small, slightly
16:58odd impulse.
17:00Most people ignore the impulse
17:02because it does not look like money.
17:04>> [music]
17:04>> It looks like an inconvenience.
17:07And then they say, "Nothing ever happens
17:09to me."
17:10Something was trying to happen.
17:12They simply would not open the door
17:14because the visitor was not dressed the
17:15way they expected.
17:17Let me tell you about a man who was
17:18praying for supply and felt a nudge to
17:21attend an event he had no interest in at
17:23all.
17:24He grumbled the whole way there.
17:26He sat in the back.
17:27He planned to leave early.
17:29On his way out,
17:30>> [music]
17:30>> he held the door for an elderly
17:32gentleman who struck up a conversation,
17:34which turned into a long friendship,
17:36which turned into a business partnership
17:38that changed his life.
17:40He told me [music] later,
17:42"I nearly stayed home."
17:44That is how close most of us come to our
17:45good and how often we miss it.
17:48Your answer may be on the other side of
17:49the thing you least want to do this
17:51afternoon.
17:52Now, let us talk about giving
17:54because it is the quiet engine under all
17:56of this.
17:57Money is a current,
17:58>> [music]
17:59>> not a pond. When you hold it too tightly
18:01out of fear, you stop the flow and a
18:04stopped stream goes stagnant.
18:06>> [music]
18:06>> When you give,
18:07even a little, with a glad heart, you
18:10tell your subconscious,
18:12"There is plenty where this came from."
18:14You cannot give from a sense of lack.
18:17Giving is a declaration of abundance
18:18spoken with your hands. It need not be
18:21large. A small, cheerful gift does more
18:24than a large, resentful one.
18:26And I will tell you a secret.
18:28Often, the unexpected money begins
18:30arriving shortly after a person makes an
18:32unexpected gift.
18:33The current simply begins moving again.
18:36And forgiveness belongs here, too,
18:38believe it or not.
18:40Resentment about money is one of the
18:41heaviest stones a person can carry.
18:44Perhaps someone owes you and has not
18:46paid.
18:47>> [music]
18:47>> Perhaps someone cheated you.
18:49Perhaps you are still angry at a parent
18:51who taught you that money is evil or an
18:53employer who underpaid you for years. As
18:56long as you carry that resentment, you
18:58are tied to the very people and
19:00situations that limited you.
19:02When you release them,
19:04saying,
19:05"I forgive and I let go
19:07and my supply now comes from the
19:09infinite." You cut the rope.
19:11Sometimes, and this always surprises
19:14people, the very debt they released gets
19:16paid once they stop pursuing it in
19:18anger.
19:19I have seen it again and again. The
19:22moment you stop gripping the door
19:23handle, the door swings open. So, now
19:25let us bring it together into your daily
19:27practice, so you know exactly what to do
19:29from tomorrow morning.
19:31First, before you touch your phone, say
19:34the decree aloud with gratitude and
19:35authority.
19:37Second,
19:38dig one small ditch each day.
19:41One action that shows you're [music]
19:42expecting your good.
19:44It can be tiny.
19:45Tidy one drawer.
19:47Send one email. [music]
19:49Put one coin in the unexpected money
19:51envelope.
19:52Third, guard your words through the day,
19:55and when you catch a negative money
19:56statement, replace it immediately.
19:59Fourth, follow your hunches, especially
20:01the slightly odd ones.
20:03Fifth, give something, however small,
20:06with a glad heart.
20:08And sixth, every evening, write down any
20:10sign of supply you noticed, even if it
20:13is as small as a free coffee or a
20:14discount you did not expect. This last
20:17step is more important than it looks,
20:19because what you notice and give thanks
20:21for tends [music] to multiply. This is
20:23exactly why I put together the 30-days
20:25manifestation journal alongside the
20:27Command and Manifest ebook. The ebook
20:30explains the law,
20:31the power of the spoken word, and how to
20:34shape decrees for every area of your
20:36life, not only money.
20:38The journal walks you through 30 days of
20:40practice
20:41with a decree for each morning and a
20:43place each evening to record your signs
20:45and surprises.
20:4730 days is long enough to break an old
20:49habit of worry
20:50>> [music]
20:50>> and build a new habit of expectation.
20:53Many people find that by the third week,
20:55>> [music]
20:55>> they cannot believe how much they have
20:57been missing.
20:58If you would like to take this deeper,
21:00the link to both is in the description
21:02below.
21:03Use them together, and let Let hold you
21:05accountable on the mornings you would
21:07rather roll over and sigh at your bank
21:08balance.
21:10Now, I want to give you a small
21:11challenge, starting today, not tomorrow.
21:14Because tomorrow is where good
21:16intentions go to take a long nap. Before
21:18the end of this day,
21:19>> [music]
21:20>> I want you to do three things.
21:22Say the decree out loud once, right now,
21:26if you can.
21:27I will wait. [music]
21:28Then dig one ditch.
21:30Just one small act that says,
21:33"I am expecting."
21:35And then come down to the comments and
21:37type three words,
21:39"It is done."
21:40That is your declaration made in public.
21:43There is something powerful about
21:44writing your word where others can see
21:46it. It strengthens your faith, and it
21:49strengthens the faith of everyone else
21:50who reads it. When you scroll through
21:53and see hundreds of people saying the
21:55same thing, you will feel the current of
21:57it. And if something unexpected arrives
21:59this week, even something small, come
22:02back and tell us. Your testimony may be
22:04the very thing someone else needs to
22:06keep going.
22:07>> [music]
22:08>> I want to leave you with this thought.
22:10You are not begging a reluctant heaven
22:12for scraps.
22:13You are claiming
22:14>> [music]
22:14>> what was prepared for you before you
22:17ever knew to ask.
22:18The supply
22:20is already there.
22:21The channels are already moving. The
22:24only thing that has ever been in
22:25question is whether you will receive it,
22:27and receiving is simply a matter of
22:29speaking the word, preparing the ditch,
22:32and releasing the outcome.
22:33You do not have to know how.
22:35You do not have to know when. You only
22:38have to know who, and to trust that the
22:40who is far more generous and far more
22:42clever than you have been giving him
22:44credit for.
22:45So, the next time you open your banking
22:47app and feel that familiar sinking in
22:49your stomach,
22:50I want you to smile, close it gently,
22:53and say, "Thank you.
22:55My supply is on its way, under grace
22:58>> [music]
22:58>> and in perfect ways."
23:00Then go and do something useful with
23:01your day.
23:02Your good does not need you to stand
23:04guard over it. It knows where you live.
23:07If this video blessed you, please
23:09subscribe and turn on notifications so
23:12you will be here for the next teaching.
23:14Share it with one friend who has been
23:15worrying about money because sometimes
23:17the kindest gift we can give is a new
23:19way of thinking. Remember to check out
23:22the Command and Manifest ebook and the
23:2430-days manifestation journal in the
23:26description.
23:28And do not forget to leave your three
23:30words in the comments. It is done. I
23:33will see you in the next one. And until
23:35then, expect the unexpected because
23:38heaven is already arranging it.
