This slogan has derailed many young people who erroneously believe that riches can only come from God and have nothing to do with hard work.
In various faiths and belief systems, riches and wealth are often attributed to divine favour or blessing. Many religious texts contain passages that suggest God is the ultimate source of wealth and prosperity.
Some of these assertions are so loud that hard work or personal effort seems irrelevant.
Let me be explicit, while the grace of God is undeniably real and plays a part in our lives and fate, hard work is the tonic that guarantees the sustainability of your grace.
We can view divine favour as opening doors of opportunity, but it’s up to each individual to walk through those doors and make the most of them through their own efforts.
It is imperative that we encourage a balanced perspective that values both personal effort and spiritual insights to provide a healthier approach to achieving financial success.
Praying for prosperity without planning and working towards achieving success will only make you a saint and not a businessman.
As the saying goes, “Faith without works is dead”.
