INTRODUCTIONBy Paula Sanford

How many times have you been distressed in

your soul because things seem to be beyond

your control? How many times would we desire

a word from God and hope that His “servant the

prophet” would clearly have a word of

instruction? Who would clearly show us the way,

as in our fathers of old? – Has anything

changed?

Everything including our finances has been

provided for!

“Beloved, There Is Money In Your House!”

Your “house” is your human physical body,

which consists of that which you can touch and

feel, along with a spirit and a soul.

Everything that you need to be prosperous

upon the earth is already within your reach just

awaiting your recognition of it.

Therefore, what you will discover in the pages of

this book “There's Money In Your House” will

unveil the principles on how to guarantee your

personal success.

Your Prophet, just like as with the Prophet Elisha,

has been given a “Word” of instruction just for

you! – Any situation that has hindered your

financial success will be settled by the time you

are done with this book.

pages of this book by Chinedum Azuh. Your title

PREFACE

Poverty is deadly. But more deadly is ignorance

to your God given talents, resources, abilities or

gifts that could unlock the door of financial

harvest.

The key that will open the door of prosperity

beyond your wildest dreams is already in your

hands, it's just awaiting your recognition of it.

There's money in your house! I've preached this

message countless times with amazing

testimonies following.

This is a secret that has worked for me. And it will

work for you. This is the principle I used to

publish my first book. It is this same principle

that got a column for me in a National

Newspaper. I have done projects worth millions

of Naira without a dime in my pocket by

applying the secrets in this book.

When I say money “in your house” I don't

necessarily mean in your physical house. To say

Page 9: There is Money in Your House

As you read from chapter to chapter in this

book, the message will be clearer to you.

For over a decade God has given me countless

financial miracles through this powerful

principle found in the simple story of the

frustrated widow with unpaid bills.

A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the

prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your Servant

my husband is dead, and you know that your

servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is

coming to take my two sons to be his slaves”.

So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell

me, what do you have in the house?” And she

said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house

but a jar of Oil”.

Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from

everywhere, from all your neighbors – empty

vessels; do not gather just a few”.

And when you have come in, you shall shut the

door behind you and your sons; then pour into all

Page 10: There is Money in Your House

So she went from him and shut the door behind

her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her;

and she poured it out.

Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full,

that she said to her son, “Bring me another

vessel”. And he said to her, “There is not another

vessel”. So the oil ceased.

Then she came and told the man of God. And he

said,

“Go, sell the oil and pay your debt;

and you and your sons live on the rest”.

2 Kings 4:1-7

At least eight great keys in this wonderful story

have changed my life. For me and several

thousands of others I have shared it with, it is the

Almighty Formula for Riches.

Join me in this awesome adventure and your life

will never remain the same.

CHAPTER 1

SAY NO TO POVERTY

Page 14: There is Money in Your House

WHAT IS POVERTY?

Condition where a person's basic needs for

food; clothing and shelter are not being met.

Business Dictionary.com

I define poverty as the inability to monetize your

skills, expertise, experience or talents.

Say no to poverty and a life of misery. Whatever

you resist cannot persist. The woman cried out

because she was not willing to continue the life

of misery.

AN OPEN MOUTH IS AN OPEN DESTINY

An open mouth is an open destiny. A closed

mouth is a closed destiny. When you close your

mouth you close your destiny, but when you

open your mouth you open your destiny.

Make these Prophetic Declarations:

That curse of poverty is not mine.

I refuse to accept what the economy of this

world says because I flow with the economy

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

14

Page 15: There is Money in Your House

I move into the realms of unlimited

prosperity.

Cain in the Bible rejected the curse from the

Living God. If a mortal man can reject the curse

of the Creator of heaven and earth, so what is it

that you cannot reject? What is it that is

happening in your life that you cannot reject?

God did not curse you yet you are under the

influence of poverty; reject it now.

WHAT YOU CHOOSE IS WHAT YOU BECOME

The first reason why this family found

themselves in a miserable condition was the

choice they made. The moment the woman

decided to choose freedom, her life and that of

her family changed.

What you choose is what you become. The

Prodigal Son asked his father to give him his

share of the property and the Father could not

stop his choice.

God said in Deuteronomy 30:19 “I call

SAY NO TO POVERTY

15

Page 16: There is Money in Your House

God said in Deuteronomy 30:19 “I call heaven

and earth to bear me witness this day that I set

before you life and death, blessings and curses

choose”. The day you chose that man as your

husband was the day you accepted a blessing or

a curse.

God wants you to be successful but if you

choose not to be, God cannot do anything

about it. The Prophet died in debt and penury

despite the fact that he had access to all the

good things of life. Man is a free moral agent.

You choose to be successful or you choose to be

a failure. You choose to be blessed or cursed.

No matter the level of prayer made over your

head, if you choose not to be great you will not.

Despite the fact that the man was a Prophet, he

died in poverty and left the family in slavery.

Your choices determine what you suffer or

enjoy. When you look at a man who is a

womanizer and decide to marry him believing

God that he will change, you have signed your

own heart break.

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

16

Page 17: There is Money in Your House

You are at this present level of life based on the

choices you made in the past. You will be where

you will be tomorrow based on the choices you

are making now. So what are the choices you are

making now? The choice of friends or who you

hang out with determines your prosperity or

poverty.

DON'T DIE WITH WHAT IS NOT WORKING

During the first few weeks of having a

Column in a National Newspaper I did not

receive the kind of business leads I

expected. I began to meditate on what

could be the problem. I discovered that

my articles where not written in such a

way that people will call me to solve their

problems. Instantly, I changed the way I

used to write the articles. Guess what

happened? You guessed right. People

started calling for my products and

services.

NO EXCUSE FOR FAILURE

I saw a book some years back written by a man

that was born without hands and the title was

“No Excuse for Failure”. Despite his condition, he

is motivating and inspiring others to succeed. A

man that was born without hands shouldn't

have thought about writing a book. Am sure by

now, he must have written other books.

The late Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa of blessed

memory was thrown inside the refuse dump by

his father because the man felt feeding him was

a waste of resources. Thank God for the Mother

who picked him up in the midnight and took

him to his Uncle. But the amazing part of the

story is that he became the greatest black Man

in his time. He preached the gospel in over 120

Nations, founded a University, built a Ministry

with branches across the globe, raised

thousands of Christian leaders and his impact is

still speaking. He refused to allow the rejection

of the Father to determine his position in life. It is

your turn for amazing success!

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

Page 19: There is Money in Your House

DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS, GO FOR THE BEST

Don't settle for less, go for the best. The Woman

made up her mind to go for a higher life that

was why she cried out. Lazarus in the Scriptures

settled for crumbs, that was why he died in

penury. The best cloths, cars, jewelries and the

all the wonderful things of life are meant for

you; don't ever settle for crumbs.

The people around you that are enjoying the

good things of life are not better than you. They

are not superior to you. Why will you be the one

to get the leftovers? Life can only give you what

you demand. If you demand for the best, the

best comes and if you demand for the less, the

less comes.

INITIATED INTO PROSPER

Salvation is a complete package. It is not just

deliverance from sin but deliverance from

poverty also. The Scripture says “we know the

grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that though he was

SAY NO TO POVERTY

19

Page 20: There is Money in Your House

So Jesus died for me to be rich. He sacrificed his

own blood to make me rich, so poverty is

against the covenant, poverty is against the

sacrifice. I want you to catch the revelation

because the moment it enters your spirit, no

devil can put you in poverty again.

The very Day you accepted Jesus Christ as your

Lord and personal Savior, you were initiated into

everlasting prosperity by His blood that was

shed on the Cross of Calvary. You have been

initiated into the blood of wealth. From this Day

forward, you will enjoy uncommon prosperity. I

want you to believe the Lord Jesus Christ for

financial success the same way you believed

Him for the forgiveness of your sin.

WHATEVER YOU RESIST CANNOT REMAIN

Whatever you resist will leave your life.

Whatever you resist can never persist. You can

put a stop to every evil occurrence. If the woman

did not resist the misery by crying out, her

misery and that of her generation would have

continued till the end.

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

20

Page 21: There is Money in Your House

…Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

James 4:7

SAY IT AND HAVE IT

Dou you know that President Obama while in

Elementary 3 Class was asked what he would

love to become when he grows up? He

answered without hesitation that he would love

to be the President of America. Before he

became the president, there was an unwritten

law that no black man will rule America, but the

man said “I'm going to be the president of

America”.

Begin to make declarations no matter who is

angry, happy or sad. I have always been saying

that I will preach the gospel in all the nooks and

crannies of the world and it is manifesting

already.

In summary, don't forget that an “Open Mouth

is an Open Destiny but a Closed Mouth is a

Closed Destiny”. Say no to lack and want.

SAY NO TO POVERTY

Page 22: There is Money in Your House

In the following chapters, you will discover how

to monetize your skills, expertise, experience,

talents or what you already have.

So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you?

Tell me, what do you have in the house? And

She said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the

house but a Jar of Oil.”

2 Kings 4:2

The key to prosperity is letting God use what is

in your hand. This is the principle that has

helped me to achieve all that I have over a

decade now.

CHAPTER 2

v

PROSPERITY BEGINS WITHWHAT YOU HAVE

25

Page 26: There is Money in Your House

It is pitiful how many projects die an untimely

death, simply because of the flimsy excuse “We

don't have enough money”.

Like the poor widow, we get so caught up in

what we don't have that we do not see the

possibilities in what we already have. Elisha,

after redirecting the widow's faith, asks, “What

do you have in the house? She did not need a

new vision of her need. She was well aware of

that. What she needed was to recognize that

God had already given her the seed for her

financial miracle.

THE PROSPERITY WITHIN

Whenever you are faced with desperate needs

and overwhelming challenges, look to God and

ask Him to help you see the seed of prosperity

already in your hands.

God's contact point for financial success is

always within your reach. Until you recognize

that seed, you cannot grow it into a financial

harvest.

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

v

26

Page 27: There is Money in Your House

God sees your abilities and not disabilities. He is

concerned about your possibilities and not

impossibilities. The prerequisite for tapping into

supernatural supplies is to fix your eyes on what

you can do and the potential of the seed in your

hands.

START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE

Bishop David Oyedepo's enviable publishing

ministry started with only 200 Naira. But today,

his Books are listed in the largest book stores in

the world with over 6o titles.

I started my publishing ministry with 10, 000

Naira which was my salary in 2006. Today, I have

enjoyed limitless wealth from my books.

Dr. Sunny Obazu-Ojeagbase, started his

Business with N6500 naira only but today he has

chains of successful businesses.

Larry Izamoje, started Brilla sports FM with

nothing more than a table, 2 chairs, and an old

v

PROSPERITY BEGINS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE

27

Page 28: There is Money in Your House

The harvest you want will always be inside the

seed you have. You don't need to look too far for

your breakthrough. What you need is already

inside what you have.

Whatever you have in your hand will create

anything you want. Everything you need in your

life is already in your life mere awaiting your

recognition of it. When you decide to use what

you have, it can turn a lifetime of failure into that

of unequaled success.

Your wealth is too near to you. You are working

right over it. Arise, trust in God and believe in

the great opportunities that are right here – not

over there, but here – for business, for

everything that is worth living for on earth. The

opportunity to get rich, to attain unto great

wealth, is around you and all it takes is your

discovery of it.

There is a rich endowment on your inside, but

you are not financially prosperous because you

can't see it. Elisha asked the widow, “What do

you have in the house?” You are indebted and

poor today because you haven't located that

rich deposit on your inside. There is something

you have that is crying for expression. You will

discover it today!

You have what is needed to become rich and

wealthy! Let your eyes open to see the seed in

your hand that can create a financial empire

beyond your wildest dreams.

WHAT YOU HAVE IS ENOUGH

What does it take to become a bestselling

author? It takes only talent, a pen and a note

book. What does it take to become a star in

Sports? All you need is the talent and the

willingness to do exercise. What does it take to

start a multi million naira business? A dream

and a good business plan. What you have is

enough, if you can discover it and make use of it.

ACHIEVING MUCH WITH LITTLE

It doesn't cost too much to have letterheads and

business cards printed. So you can begin almost

anything – for very little cash. You can publish

your book today and make it available to

millions globally at the click of a mouse without

spending a dime.

Dreams cost nothing. All great projects begin

with a dream. An idea, an article in the

newspaper, the freedom to get business

partners may cost you nothing.

TAPPING ABUNDANCE LIKE A NATURAL

RESOURCE

Never before in history has life offered so many

opportunities for so many people as at this turn

of the new millennium. The revolution in

information technology means that mankind

has tapped an immense resource unknown to

us at any other time in history. This resource is

information. The availability of information via

the media, internet, print and education allows

us to equip ourselves with unique skills and

v

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

30

Page 31: There is Money in Your House

In fact, we live in a threshold of a golden age

with opportunities surrounding us in every walk

of life.

But there is another important resource which

has been ignored for a long time. For the first

time in history man has the ability to unlock the

hidden potentials of his own nature and link it

with the immense wealth of opportunities

created at the turn of the new millennium.

By understanding who you are and by bringing

your whole life experience into focus you can

empower yourself to tie all your wealth of

experiences and knowledge into the multitude

of opportunities surrounding you to make

money, even fortunes, just by learning how to

apply your unique skills to the outside world.

BECOMING MORE PROSPEROUS WHEN

BUSINESS GOES DOWN

It is a law of nature that things don't always go in

straight line. I don't know of a single business

person who has not complained and worried

PROSPERITY BEGINS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE

31

Page 32: There is Money in Your House

A year after my friend in U.S.A had great success

with his business; his accountant came to him

and asked him what had happened. He wasn't

earning half as much as he did the previous year.

A major contact for one of his largest clients had

left the company and had taken all the work

with him. He had also lost a big sum of money

on the stock market and in a new product he

launched.

When all these happened, he focused on other

things he can do. He began to focus and

develop his key skills and a year later a book on

his work was published. He made new contact

with different people. He got an agent, who

took his work into every corner of the globe.

So when things are not working in your business

or finances the way it ought to, all you need to

do is to look inward. There are untapped

resources and riches on your inside. The widow

in our story had the pot of oil in her house but

could not harness it until she encountered a

very big financial problem. The riches that came

after, was much more than she had ever

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

32

Page 33: There is Money in Your House

THE STARTING POINT OF RICHES

Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Do what you

can, with what you have, right where you are”. If

you, like most self made Millionaires across the

globe, are starting off broke or with very little

money, where do you start? The answer is that

you start by discovering what you already have

in your hands. It could be your talent. It could

also be a dream or a skill. You become rich by

applying your talents and resources to the

opportunities that you can discover or create.

THE TREASURE IN YOU

Recently, my sister in-law made a statement that

touched me. She said, “Whenever I am hungry, I

remember my talent.” That is to say that if this

young chap will consistently make use of her

talent, she will never be broke.

In August 2010, I was a Resource Person in a

National Success Summit alongside other top

speakers in the corporate world. During the

course of my speech, I asked the audience a

PROSPERITY BEGINS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE

33

Page 34: There is Money in Your House

EVERYONE HAS A TALENT

We all have talents. The pointer to your unique

talent is to closely look at anything that flows

out of you on a natural frequency. Anything you

can do with easy is a huge sign that you are

wired to function in that area. You came into this

world endowed with unique abilities. You were

programmed as it were to function in a

particular field of endeavor. Those who excel in

life have learned to trade their talents for

money.

DEVELOP YOUR TALENT

Training exposes you to the full potential and

inner workings of your abilities. Training is

required to maximize the full potential of your

talent. Michael Jordan the basketball legend

once said, “Everybody has talent, but ability

requires hard work.”

TRADING WITH YOUR TALENT

The market place is an impartial environment.

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

34

Page 35: There is Money in Your House

Becoming rich is very easy if you can focus on

monetizing your talent by showcasing it to the

world around you. If you concentrate on using

your talent consistently to add value to the

society, you will never lack money the rest of

your life.

YOUR TALENT NEEDS A PLATFORM

Some people have developed their talents and

are also working so hard to tap into the

monetary value of their abilities but they are not

getting what they expect. What is the problem?

They don't have the required platform to market

their talents. The writer should explore avenues

for showcasing his works and ideas. The starlet

needs to locate the places that can help him

harness and maximize the full potential of his

ability. The entrepreneur should connect with

business associations and trade portals he can

leverage upon to build his business empire.

PROSPERITY BEGINS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE

35

Page 36: There is Money in Your House

The Almighty has endowed you with an

amazing ability but it requires development and

showcasing it to the world around you by

operating from the right platform. Make use of

your talent today!

THE GREATEST SEED OF PROSPERITY

Ideas are golden keys to ever increasing

prosperity. It is a thought, planted by God that

could solve your financial problem. The

instruction from Elisha the Prophet to the

woman was a divine idea designed to end her

financial predicaments.

Robert H. Schuller said, “Nobody has a money

problem but an idea problem”. This statement

means that what you need to put an end to your

financial worries is embedded in an idea.

An idea is the key God places in your hands that

can unlock the door of riches. After several

months of writing for Daily Independent

Newspaper, I got several hundreds of telephone

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

36

Page 37: There is Money in Your House

You are where you are financially because you

have neither used the idea God gave you nor

recognized it.

MONEY IN MINUTES

A publisher made a discovery that every

publisher or author could use to create

unending prosperity. He was a publisher of low-

priced books. He discovered that a lot of people

buy titles and not contents of books. By merely

changing the title of one of the books that was

not selling, his sales on that book jumped

upward more than a million copies. The inside of

the book was not changed in any way. What he

did was just to change the title on the cover

page.

Ross Perot, the famed billionaire said “one good

idea could enable a man to live like a king the rest

of his life”.

Oral Roberts said “when God promised you

PROSPERITY BEGINS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE

37

Page 38: There is Money in Your House

There could be an idea God had planted in your

mind. What are you waiting for?

Every new business started with an idea. Every

product, new way of packaging or advertising

products, cheaper way of production or new

way of making it more beautiful started with an

idea.

Think of drug companies, for instance. Eighty

percent of their business is in products that did

not exist only seven years ago.

I want to conclude this chapter by asking you

this simple but powerful question. What do you

have in your hands? It could be a talent, idea,

skill, contact, opportunity, little capital, business

plan, dream project or new way of doing

something. That is your seed of prosperity. It is

your jar of oil. Make use of it and the Lord of

Increase will multiply it into bountiful harvest.

It's a new day for you! May the Lord open your

eyes to see what have that will create the Wealth

you are looking for today!

Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from

everywhere, from all your neighbors – empty

vessels; do not gather just a few.

2 Kings 4:3

The word leverage in business simply means,

making use of “Other people's money,” Other

people's knowledge” and “Other people's

efforts. This is the principle that Elisha instructed

CHAPTER 3

THE POWER OF LEVERAGE

41

Page 42: There is Money in Your House

Other people's money is money that you can

borrow to leverage your business activities, to

buy and sell greater amounts that would be

impossible if your activities were limited to your

own financial resources. This is the major reason

for using credit in business and investments.

Your ability to use other people's money in

business and your dream projects could be a

critical factor for success.

Other people's knowledge is another leverage

factor. Use the information, insights, wisdom

and knowledge of other people to further your

own cause. Not only will such assistance save

you valuable time and energy, it will give you

amazing success. It will also give you efficiency,

speed and prosperity beyond your power.

Isaac Newton called this “Standing on the

shoulders of giants”. He meant that in making

his discoveries he had built on the achievements

of others. A great part of his greatness, he knew,

was attributed to his shrewd ability to make the

most of the insights of ancient scientists.

Shakespeare borrowed plots, characterizations,

We all know that few Politicians write their

speech. Make use of other people's knowledge

to advance your cause.

Other people's efforts refer to the time and

energy you can acquire by hiring other people

who have the skills and abilities that you need to

achieve your dreams.

You need to develop the ability to pull together

other people's efforts, other people's money,

and other people's knowledge, to accomplish

vastly more in the same period of time than

someone who is forced to rely on his own

personal energy and resources.

RICHES THROUGH THE POWER OF

LEVERAGE

In 1978, twenty-five year old college dropout

John Mackey and twenty-one year old Rene

Lawson Hardy, saved and borrowed money

from family and friends to open the doors of a

small natural foods store in Austin, Texas. Within

Eventually Mackey and Hardy moved out of the

store and into their own place, and within two

years managed a merger with another natural

foods store to open up the first Whole Foods

Market in Austin, Tx on September 20, 1980.

With the markets floor space at 10,500 square

feet and with 19 employees, Whole Foods

Market became the largest of its kind. In 1984,

Whole Foods began expanding to other cities

by building stores from the ground up and by

acquiring other natural foods stores around the

country. In 1992 the company went public, and

in 2008 posted $6.5 billion in revenues and $3.2

billion in assets. From the humble beginnings in

Austin, Tx in 1978, to being ranked 369 on the

Fortune 500, Whole Foods Market is continually

rising to the challenge of the market and

providing a unique service to America.

The duo leveraged on each other's capacity

and also made use of other people's

resources. The application of this principle

brought uncommon riches to them.

THE WONDERS OF ASKING

One powerful word that can bring you lots of

money, something so simple, that everybody

uses it but only few use it productively, is the

word “ASK”.

By asking, you can open doors to opportunities

which would otherwise remain closed. One of

the principles that helped the widow was her

courage to ask.

Good things come to those of us who ask. It's

simple as inquiring about discounts, making

offer, or coming up with a partnership proposal.

A polite inquiry never hurts. A well-phrased

question can be assertive without being so

aggressive that you turn off the listener and

cause him to refuse your request. Asking can

open a door which your best friend simply

forgot to mention to you.

When my first book came out, I felt the

importance of having it reviewed by a National

Newspaper. I started asking my friends for

THE POWER OF LEVERAGE

45

Page 46: There is Money in Your House

media links because then I had few media

contacts.

A few days later, one of my friends told me that

he has someone in Daily Sun who will be willing

to help. We made a call to her office and booked

an appointment with her. After our meeting, she

decided to review the book.

One day, she called to inform me that the review

of the book is out. To make the story more

interesting, 2 weeks latter I was interviewed by

the same lady on the same Newspaper. This

gave me and the book National Publicity.

The blessings that come through asking could

be unlimited. What did the Bible say? Ask and

you shall receive.

THERE IS SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WHO

CAN HELP YOU

If you have a problem – but can't see how it

could be solved creatively,

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

46

Page 47: There is Money in Your House

If you have a great idea – but lack the money,

knowledge, or ability to execute the idea,

Then the greatest counsel anyone can give you

might be this simple sentence. There is

someone who can help you.

The widow in our story had a jar of Oil but was

not in possession of vessels needed to pour the

oil for increase. Then Elisha gave her one of the

great secrets of business success. “Go, borrow

vessels”.

You should be smart enough to believe there is

help, determined enough to find that help, and

humble enough to accept that help. You may be

so powerfully creative, innovative and gifted.

Your talents and potentials may be so great but

you are limited being alone. One is too small a

number to achieve greatness.

Wherever you are, whatever your financial

situation, there is someone somewhere who can

help you!

associations. These good connections always

CHAPTER 4

FIND A NEED AND FILL IT

Page 50: There is Money in Your House

‘’Apart from the money people inherit or win by chance in lotteries, what is the true significance of money? Money, which has been earned honestly, is simply the recognition of services rendered. A rich man is therefore one who has provided services to many people and had received a just reward.’’

50

Page 51: There is Money in Your House

Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from

everywhere, from all your neighbors-empty

vessels; do not gather just a few.

Apart from the money people inherit or win by

chance in lotteries, what is the true significance

of money? Money, which has been earned

honestly, is simply the recognition of services

CHAPTER 4

FIND A NEED AND FILL IT

51

Page 52: There is Money in Your House

The GSM Companies that came into Nigeria

made billions of naira within a short period of

time because they found a need and filled that

need. Many have heard this over and over again

but only a hand full put it to work. What is it that

we are talking about? “Find a Need and Fill it”.

The cheapest and fastest way to make money is

to discover a need somewhere and meet that

need. Your wealth will be in equal proportion to

the needs you are willing to meet. If you can

provide food to a hungry man and water to a

thirsty soul, you will be rewarded financially.

You fail in business when you want to get

something and you are not willing to give

something. The easiest way to get someone to

sponsor your business or partner with you is to

let him know what is in it for him. In your

package, you have to show the sponsor or

potential partner what he stands to gain.

Company in the Eastern part of Nigeria for job

MOBILE MONEY IDEA

During my 6 week speaking tour in several

cities of Kenya, I discovered an amazing way

people send and receive money in Kenya. The

idea came through a young man who

discovered a need a filled that need.

This simple idea has changed how business is

done in Kenya. The young man will never be

poor the rest of his life. This simple idea has

affected how money exchange hands in Kenya.

During my speaking tour in Ghana, I shared the

same platform with Kofi Amoah, the Man who

brought Western Union to Africa. All he did was

to find a need and filled it. Today, by all

standards, he is a millionaire.

5 WAYS TO IDENTIFY A NEED

Below are ideas on how to discover people's

needs so as to make money whenever you

want it.

DON'T JOIN THE CROWD

If everyone is doing it then no one needs it.

You can't make real money by doing what

FIND A NEED AND FILL IT

53

Page 54: There is Money in Your House

LISTEN TO PEOPLE'S COMPLAINTS

Don't be angry that people are complaining.

What you should do is search for the solution to

their problems. If people complain about the

high cost of a product, look for or create a

cheaper product that serves the same purpose.

Someone came up with Sachet Water in Nigeria

as an alternative to Bottle Water.

TRAVEL OUTSIDE

The traveler will always be wiser than the aged.

Traveling opens our eyes to things we never

knew existed. We find people solving the same

problem with different techniques. When I went

to Nairobi, Kenya I discovered so many needs

one can fill to make money and also better ways

to do things in my home country. Lots of ideas

have been imported (or stolen) from other

countries and then modified to suit our

problems. A group of people from Malaysia

came to Nigeria and took some Palm Seeds

back to their country. Today, Malaysia is a leader

in the production and supply of palm produce.

THE SCARCE COMMODITY

There are some commodities that people need

but find it difficult to get. All you need to do is to

find a way of making the commodity available

to them and you will always smile to the bank.

You are created for a purpose. The purpose is to

fill the empty vessels God sends your way. The

empty vessels are needs of people you should

fill. This is the Chief Factor that determines your

success or failure. If you are poor, it means

you've not located your empty vessel that is to

say, you've not discovered the need you should

fill.

As a teacher and writer, my duty is to find empty

vessels that will be filled with oil of knowledge

God has deposited on my inside.

When I teach people in Churches, Bible Schools,

Conferences, Seminars and so many other

places, my finances will be on the increase. But

when I stop pouring into the empty vessels, my

finances will go down.

What is the state of your finances? If it is fine, it

FIND A NEED AND FILL IT

55

Page 56: There is Money in Your House

You enjoy unending financial prosperity when

you practice this simple principle.

Your talent is not enough. You need to bless

people with it. The widow had the jar of oil for a

long time but she still suffered terribly because

there were no empty vessels. Your ability and

resources will only produce good things for you

when someone is blessed and affected.

What is the remedy for financial needs? Start to

give. Find empty vessels you can pour into. You

may think that what you have is not enough

until you start pouring into some empty vessels.

FIND A PROBLEM AND SOLVE IT

You can find a problem and solve it. Where there

is a widespread and unsolved customer

problem, there is an opportunity for you to start

and build a successful business. Once upon a

time, before photocopiers, the only way to type

multiple copies of a letter was with carbon

paper placed between sheets of stationery. But

a single mistake would require the typist to go

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

56

Page 57: There is Money in Your House

Then, a secretary working for a small company

in Minneapolis began mixing flour with nail

varnish in order to white out the mistakes she

was making in her typing. Her friends in the

same office soon asked if she could make some

of this liquid for them. To satisfy this demand,

she began mixing little bottles of flour and nail

varnish on her kitchen table. Soon, people in

other offices began asking for it. The demand

became so great that she eventually quit her job

and began working full-time manufacturing

what she called “Liquid Paper”. At few years

later, the Gillette Corporation came along and

bought her out for $47 Million Cash.

Your status and prosperity are direct results of

the prosperity you create for other people.

HOW THIS PRINCIPLE CREATED A MULTI

BILLION-DOLLAR COMPANY

In the spring of 1891, the 29-year-old William

Wrigley Jr. moved from Philadelphia to Chicago

with only $32 to his name. Soon after arriving in

FIND A NEED AND FILL IT

57

Page 58: There is Money in Your House

Wrigley went public in 1919, and since then has

seen ups and downs in the market. Wrigley has

remained a staple, and perhaps the most visible

brand, in the chewing gum business throughout

now into the 21st century. A globally distributed

brand, Wrigley is one of the largest gum

companies in the world, and one of the most

successful businesses – in any industry- in the

world. In 2008, Wrigley posted revenues of $5.4

billion with a recorded over $5.2 billion in assets.

GIVING BEFORE RECEIVING

Give and it will be given to you: good measure,

Pressed down, shaken together, and running

Over will be put into your bosom…. Luke 6:38

There is a statement that reads “Givers Never

Lack”. It is very easy to see why people who take

the walk of faith live prosperous lives. The secret

is that you need to give before you receive. The

farmer knows this. He plants the seed, giving it

away, before he can expect a harvest of plenty.

The successful business man understands this

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

58

Page 59: There is Money in Your House

Do you want your life to be filled with plenty?

Then you need to give it out before you can

expect to take it in. It's more blessed to give than

to receive (Acts. 20:35)

Proverbs 11:24-25 Says, “There is one who

scatters, yet increases more; And there is one

who withholds more than is rights. But leads to

poverty. The generous Soul will be made rich,

and he who waters will also be watered

himself”. You were created to be a blessing to

others.

THE GOLDEN RULE

Practicing the Golden Rule is not a sacrifice. It's

an investment. What good thing you make

come to pass for others, God will make come to

pass for you.

You can measure the good you have been to the

world by what the world has paid you, because a

man can judge very well what he is worth by

what he receives; that is, in what he is to the

world at this time.

59

FIND A NEED AND FILL IT

Page 60: There is Money in Your House

It's very easy to make money. If you will just take

only five blocks around you, and find out what

the people want and how to supply it.

Put those things down on paper, and figure up

the profits you would make if you do the supply,

you would see what am saying. There is money

in abundance right within the sound of your

voice.

Tap into amazing wealth today by finding a

need and filling that need!

CHAPTER 5

FOCUS CHANGES EVERYTHING

Page 62: There is Money in Your House

‘’You Become Successful Only When You

Concentrate On One Task, The Most

Important Task, and You Stay At It Until It Is

100Percent Completed. Concentrate On Just

One Thing And Do It Well.’’

62

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

Page 63: There is Money in Your House

“And when you have come in, you shall shut the

door behind you and your sons; then pour into all

those vessels, and set aside the full ones.”

2 Kings 4:4

One man with focus constitutes a majority. To

achieve your desires in life you must disconnect

from those things that may be distractions to

doing your best.

As the widow in our story drew close to her

CHAPTER 5

FOCUS CHANGES EVERYTHING

63

Page 64: There is Money in Your House

As the widow in our story drew close to her

miracle, Prophet Elisha instructed her to shut

the door behind her. God's intention was to

keep her focused on the business at hand.

It's amazing the amount of work you can get

done if you do not do anything else. Focus is

one of the best instruments of success. Without

focus, creativity wastes its efforts in a maze of

inconsistencies.

Did you ever take a magnifying glass, and allow

the sun to shine through it, adjusting it all the

while in your hand until it focused a burning

white dot on a piece of paper or dry leaf? Do you

remember how the magnified rays of the sun on

the dry paper suddenly created a wisp of

smoke? That is the power of focus!

There is awesome energy generated in the

powers that are created through the “Focusing

Principle”.

Nothing is impossible to the diligent and

focused person. Whatever you focus your

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

64

Page 65: There is Money in Your House

attention upon you give strength and

momentum. Focus is the secret of strength.

Focus determines the sharpness of your destiny.

You can't have a good picture if you don't have a

good focus. To succeed in life, therefore, you

must be focused. See what happened to this

man who lost his focus:

Now as the king passed by, he cried out to the

king and said, “Your servant went out into the

midst of the battle; and there, a man came over

and brought a man to me and said, “Guard this

man; if by any means he is missing, your life shall

be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of

silver”.

“While your servant was busy here and there,

he was gone”. Then the king of Israel said to

him, “So shall your judgment be; you yourself

have decided it”. I King 20:39-40

The cheapest way to remain poor is to live

without focus. You are created for greatness, so

don't remain small for lack of focus.

FOCUS CHANGES EVERYTHING

65

Page 66: There is Money in Your House

Focus means shutting the door against every

other activity that may distract you from

accomplishing your dream project.

FOCUS ON THE FUTURE

One of the rules for success is that it doesn't

matter where you're coming from; all that

matters is where you're going. Almost everyone

has the uneasy feeling that they have wasted a

good deal of their time and their potential in the

past. Unfortunately, many people use these

feelings of regret as breaks that they set on their

own lives.

Instead of rededicating themselves to the

exciting months and years ahead, they allow

themselves to be overwhelmed with the

mistakes that they may have made in the past.

Don't let this happen to you.

Instead, think about the future and where you

are going. Think about what you can do right

now to create the kind of future you imagine for

yourself. Learn what you can from past mistakes

THE PRINCIPLE OF SINGLE HANDLING

The ability to start and finish your most

important task determines your prosperity

more than any other skill.

Maximum achievement is possible only when

you concentrate single – mindedly on one task,

the most important task, and you stay at it until

it is 100 percent completed.

Elisha instructed the widow to close the door

behind so as to enable her concentrate on the

task at hand. By opening the door, the woman

might have seen a friend and decide to chart

with her for some minutes. What do you think

would have happened? She would have

destroyed her miracle.

So many people have missed their financial

harvest or delayed it by doing a lot of things at

the same time.

When you are working on your most important

goal, anything else you could do is a relative

FOCUS CHANGES EVERYTHING

67

Page 68: There is Money in Your House

Identify the biggest and most important single

task or goal that you may have now. Whatever it

is, clear aside everything else and throw your

whole heart into completing it. Close the door

behind you and against every other goal or

project.

The hen incubates the eggs for 21 days without

doing any other thing. If she lives the eggs for

two days what will happen? The eggs will rotten.

The same thing happens when we allow

anything to distract us from the making of our

miracles.

There is a financial harvest for you. All you need

is focus! Remember, focus changes everything!!

ACTION IS THE ULTIMATE

Page 70: There is Money in Your House

‘’History is Made Whenever You Take The

Right Action. Action is The key to Unlocking

Amount of Revelation That Can Substitute

For Action. Revelation Without Action is The

Reason for Frustration. ‘’

Page 71: There is Money in Your House

So she went from him and shut the door behind

her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her,

and she poured it out. 2 Kings 4:5

History is made whenever you take the right

action. Action is the key to unlocking the door of

harvest. The woman in our story heard the

prophetic word from Elisha. But nothing

happened until she acted upon the word

received.

CHAPTER 6

ACTION IS THE ULTIMATE

71

Page 72: There is Money in Your House

There is no amount of revelation that can

substitute for action. Revelation without action

will lead to frustration.

You earn your wages only by action; inaction

keeps you in penury. There is no food for the

lazy man.

God will do it is the prayer of irresponsible

people. The woman had to do something for

the miracle to occur.

Let us stop wishing and start working instead!

Nothing works until you work. There is dignity in

labor. Money does not drop from heaven. Do

something and money will come.

You are not a candidate of financial prosperity if

you don't put your hands to work.

He who has a slack hand becomes poor,

But the hand of the diligent makes rich.

Proverbs 10: 4

Your prosperity is guaranteed when you take

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

72

Page 73: There is Money in Your House

ACTION IS THE ULTIMATE

“As He (Jesus) was speaking, a woman in the

Crowd called out, “God bless your mother-the

womb from which you came, and breast that

gave you suck! He replied, 'Yes, but even more

blessed are all who hear the word and put it into

practice (Lk.11:27, LB).

You enjoy more blessing acting on the Word of

God than even to have been the mother of

Jesus.

Sometimes, during his seminar, one Veteran

Speaker uses an illustration to prove a point. He

will lift up a 100 dollar bill in the air with his

hands, and say “If this 100 dollar bill is available,

and it is, who would want it?” Of course, every

hand in the room would go up. But, he just

stands there holding it up until he eventually

says; doesn't anyone really want this? Then after

about a minute or two someone gets up out of

their chair and goes up to him to give it to him.

But, even then, he won't hand it to him. He just

keeps holding it up in the air until they do

ACTION IS THE ULTIMATE

73

Page 74: There is Money in Your House

The widow did not stop with the word of

prophesy like so many Christians today. She

took massive action. Many Christians take notes

in the church during sermon but end up doing

nothing with the sermon.

Stagnation in any area of your life is a sign of

inaction. The moment you take action in that

area progress will begin to evolve.

Your financial harvest is waiting for you to take a

step of faith in the right direction. Action is the

Ultimate

History is made whenever you take the right

action. Action is the force that will always usher

you in to realms of success. The four lepers in

our story made a decision to change their lives

and took action instantly. Nothing happens

until you do something.

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE

You are the one holding the key of your own

destiny - this sounds frightening and, in the

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

74

Page 75: There is Money in Your House

same time, exhilarating. God granted us all that

we might need to reach any dream coming from

the deep of our inner self: cleverness,

imagination, strong will, persistence, intuition,

power of intention, talents, enthusiasm and

many other tools to use in the process of

achieving our big life's goal.

In exchange, God expects us to dig inside our

soul, find out what our big goal is and go for it.

He also wants us to trust and believe in our

dream. If we are faithful, He will help us to reach

our target. We will meet the right people, get

the right information, and be at the perfect

moment where we need to be. The

circumstances and situations will change to

support us in our attempt.

We are the only ones in charge of our destiny. If

we fail or succeed is our own responsibility.

When we realize this truth, we become

unstoppable.

Now, it is the moment to make a plan. Start to

write on paper what you have to do to reach

your vision.

ACTION IS THE ULTIMATE

75

Page 76: There is Money in Your House

Then select the activities that you can do

(maybe to develop some skills, to search for

another job, to enroll in a training program or in

a school). Keep a journal with what you are

doing daily. It is enough to allocate one hour per

day for your goal. At this stage it is very

important to create a habit, the foundation of

your building.

Each step you take will get you closer to your

dream. You will start to see progress and

circumstances will help you. You will also feel

more and more confident and your life will

begin to change in amazing ways.

ACTION IS A MIRACLE WORKER

When you make a move, a thousand and one

miracles happen. God will not show you the

whole picture of your destiny. It will unfold as

you take bold steps. That you don't have cash in

your pocket is not enough reason why you

should be afraid to propose to that Lady.

Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full,

that she said to her son, “Bring me another

You too, control the flow of financial prosperity

by what you are willing to do and how far you

are willing to go.

How many blessings are you missing out on

because you have never set out enough vessels?

God is unlimited! You control the blessings you

receive by your willingness to ask, to seek, to

accept help from others, to act on faith, and to

take the right steps.

So go out there and find more vessels!

Don't l imit God's abil ity to provide

supernaturally. Through the Prophet Elisha, God

was going to provide a financial harvest for the

destitute widow. But it was limited by the

number of vessels the woman and her sons

could gather.

Your present financial status is based on the

number of vessels you have been able to

present before God. If you are broke, it means

you have not gathered any vessel. If you have

little money, it means you have gathered but a

I read about one of the fastest growing churches

in America. Their secret is that they have over

180 outreach ministries. That is their secret;

THE KEY TO ABUNDANCE

We live in abundant universe in which there is

sufficient money for everyone. Plenty of money

is available to you. You can have virtually all you

really want and need.

You become wealthy because you believe you

have the ability to become wealthy. Because you

believe this completely, you act accordingly. You

will consistently take the necessary actions that

turn your beliefs into realities.

The number of vessels you are willing to gather

shows your level of faith for financial prosperity.

your life different than it is now. Never again in

of multiplied oil.

When your moment of opportunity comes, are

you ready to maximize the moment? Will you

create a place that will allow you to utilize your

God-given gifts to fulfill your Divine purpose?

Many of us have experienced the pain of

rejection, failed relationships, and having to

start over and over. However it doesn't have to

remain that way. God has equipped you with

every spiritual blessing in the high places so it is

up to you to realize what your gifts are in order

to make the most of your opportunities when

they arrive.

insignificant rank.

The other guy was now a chief pilot with

Cameroon Air Ways. He saw his old pal and

recognized him but his old pal could not

recognize him because he is living in affluence.

He called his old pal who was still battling with

his low ranking in the force and introduced

himself. He shared his success stories and

attainments with him.

His friend who could not seize the moment died

after a month because he saw the position he

could have attained but missed it because of he

could not maximize his moment. May you not

experience such in Jesus Name!

TAPPING THE UNTAPPED POSSIBILITIES

You think you have all the answers on religion,

philosophy and psychology? Wait a minute!

When you think you've exhausted all

possibilities, remember this – you haven't!

T

here are untapped possibilities around you now.

There are opportunities right before you,

unexplored.

There is a beautifully story in Luke 5:1-8 about

Peter and his partners fishing all night. In the

morning the Lord asked. How is fishing” Master,

we've fished all night and caught nothing! This

was their weary reply.

“Go out into the deep and throw out your nets,”

the Lord directs.

They had every reason to doubt His advice.

After all, they have been fishing all night. But by

faith they threw in the net once more; and this

time the Lord of harvest decided to bless their

efforts.

Then she came and told the man of God. And he

said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you

and your sons live on the rest”.

2nd kings 4:7

Success often depends on selling something to

someone. God's miracle for the widow would be

incomplete if she had decided not to sell the oil.

Do you have the ability to write? Go, sell the

talent by creating books. Can you sing very

well? Produce an album and sell it. Can you

teach something very well? Go, sell the

knowledge.

YOU ARE WASTING IF YOU ARE NOT

SELLING

There is no need singing or teaching in a small

group where everyone is hailing you yet you are

broke. Go, Sell that ability. God gave you that

talent to trade with.

If you don't have money in your pocket now, it

means you are not selling something. All

fortunes begin with the Sale of Personal

Services.

Selling is the bedrock upon which every fortune

is built. Whatever you do to make yourself

prosperous will involve selling.

You can sell your skills or ideas. Life is all about

selling something. Every rich person knows this

simple fact. Every poor person doesn't.

Anything you do that does not involve selling is

a hobby. Spend your time more on profit

oriented ventures.

It is useless to write a book you don't want to

sell. It is an abomination to acquire a skill you

don't want to trade with. It is a curse to have

ability without profitability. Do you get the

message?

Some people have the ability and talent to

decorate halls and organize events but they end

up using it only in their brother's and Sister's

wedding; while others are making millions with

the same talent.

I have seen people with the grace to make

SELL AND GROW RICH

93

Page 94: There is Money in Your House

others laugh yet end up doing it only in their friends' birthdays and in-house parties. They fail to know that there are people out there making millions weekly with the same grace or talent.

What do you do that others like you for? That is

a hot commodity for sell. You are wasting God's

investment in you when you fail to trade that

talent for profit.

SELLING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Selling products and services is one of the

oldest ways to make money. Today, with the

advent of the internet and other effective

mediums, selling has become very easy.

Here's how you can make money through

selling products and services:

OVERALL PACKAGING

Selling starts with attraction. If you want to

capture the attention of your potential clients,

you need to exert conscious time and even

money to make your packaging visually-

appealing. Research your target market and get

THERE IS MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE

94

Page 95: There is Money in Your House

to know their preferences. Through this, you'll

be able to determine the elements that you

need to use when packaging your products to

make them look more enticing to your

prospects. Now, I spend quality time with my

graphics designer to create stunning covers for

my books.

ADVERTISING

It's virtually impossible to make a sale without

you advertising your products to your

prospects. If you are targeting people within a

certain geographical location, I recommend

that you advertise your products using

traditional media (TV, newspaper, and radio) or

targeted social media advertisement. However,

if you are trying to tap the global market, you

may use several internet marketing tools all at

the same time to quickly widen your reach. You

can use PPC advertising, article marketing,

forum posting, social media marketing, video

marketing, ezine publishing and blogging.

95

SELL AND GROW RICH

Page 96: There is Money in Your House

OFFER FREE PRODUCT SAMPLES

This is particularly helpful if you are selling new

products. To give your prospects an idea as to

how your new product works (and to gauge if

it's really worth the money), you can get these

people to try your product for free. For example,

if you are selling a shampoo, you can give away

15 ml. sachets to your target market. If they are happy with the result, you can be assured that they will not think twice about making a purchase.

ENSURE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

This is the trick to retain your old customers

while you attract new ones. You see, when you

strive to make each of your customers happy,

they are most likely to come back for more. Not

only that, they will also talk about your products

to their colleagues, friends, and family

members. As word-of-mouth advertising is still

the best marketing medium. You can be

assured that this will help you improve your

sales by up to a hundredfold.

96

Page 97: There is Money in Your House

OFFER DISCOUNTS

You can easily capture the attention of your

target market by simply offering discounts.

Slash off at least 20% off your tag prices from

time to time. This will help you capture the

attention of new prospects and promote

customer loyalty among your current

customers.

SELLING PATENTS, INVENTIONS AND IDEAS

Allow me to introduce you to an online

renowned forum where you can sell your

Patents, Inventions or Ideas. I have no affiliation

whatsoever with the people behind this

platform but I love what they are doing. The

Name of the Forum is “Idea Trade Network.”

Idea Trade Network (ITN) is an

world-renowned forum that allows companies

and individuals to license, buy or sell ideas, new

inventions as well as patents and trademarks.

SELLING IS THE CORE SKILL Of BUSINESS

SUCCESS

The keys to business success are simple. With

regard to the product, the keys are to “Sell! Sell!!

Sell!!!” The most important single skill you must

In fact, the ability to sell is one of the key skills for

a successful life. With very few exceptions, all

successful businesses begin with a single

person who is excited about the product and

who is very good at selling it to others. This

entrepreneur likes the product so much that he

can hardly wait to talk to other people about it.

This individual is eager to make customer

contacts. But where there is no willingness to

sell, the finest product or service will fail.

Over to you! Discover the goldmine on your inside, harness it and begin to make profits from selling it.

It's a New Day for You!

resulted in producing extra income that

of the world suffered from one of the

most severe global economic collapses in

history. (Genesis 41)

105

Page 106: There is Money in Your House

·Elisha gave an unusual set of instructions

to a widow who was severely in debt and

facing legal challenges from her deceased

husband's creditors that resulted in

complete debt elimination and had

enough left over to live on for the rest of

her life. (2 Kings 4:1-7)

·Jacob, the Son of Isaac, received a

strategy from God to take the wealth of

his father-in-law, Laban. Jacob kept the

flocks and herds of Laban for many years.

Though Laban's wealth increased because

of Jacob, Laban cheated Jacob. God

showed Jacob how to turn this injustice

around. (Genesis 31:4-9)
