TOPIC:  Remove Poverty Mentality and Break Limiting Beliefs on abundance

AUTHOR: MARY LAWRENCE-DOKPESI

 SCRIPTURE:

Matthew 21:22: “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

SPIRITUAL POSTULATION:

Our limiting beliefs about wealth can block our path to abundance. Challenge and replace them with a prosperous mindset.

REFLECTION:

Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and let’s delve into the hidden corners of your mind. Are there whispers of negativity around wealth? Beliefs like “Rich people are greedy” or “Financial success is for others, not me” might creep in, holding you back from embracing abundance. It’s time to challenge these limiting narratives!

First, acknowledge them without judgment. Where did these beliefs originate? Were they passed down, fueled by societal comparisons, or rooted in past experiences? Now, let’s dismantle them! Replace each limiting thought with a powerful affirmation. Instead of “I’m not destined for wealth,” declare, “I am worthy of achieving my financial goals.” Remember, countless individuals-built prosperity ethically and with purpose. Consider Warren Buffett’s focus on ethical investing or Malala Yousafzai’s fight for education – both testaments to wealth with positive impact.

Now, shift your focus inward. What does abundance look like for you? Is it financial security, the time to pursue passions, or the ability to impact your community? Paint a vivid picture of your aspirations. Imagine the emotions of achieving them – the joy, freedom, and sense of fulfillment. Hold onto that feeling. This visualization fuels the fire within, propelling you towards your abundant future.

Remember, this is a journey, not a destination. Be kind to yourself, celebrate milestones, and trust in your ability to create the life you envision. Replace the scarcity mindset with a belief in your own potential. You are worthy of abundance, and the power to achieve it lies within you. Open your eyes and embrace the possibilities!

PRAYERS

Dear God, I release any limiting beliefs that hold me back from abundance. Help me cultivate a grateful heart and open myself to your blessings. Guide me to take inspired action and trust in your provision. Amen.

vi.               From fear of scarcity to trust in providence: Release the fear of not having enough. Trust that the universe, or whichever higher power you align with, will provide for your needs.
