Summary: <p><strong>PROVERB CONSIDERED:</strong> <em>“Àtètèdáyé ò kan tọrọ̀; Ọlọ́run ní ńṣe orí owó.”</em></p> <p><strong>INTERPRETATION</strong>: <em>"Primogeniture (the state of being the firstborn child) has nothing to do with wealth; it is God Who assigns wealth to (people's) destinies."</em></p> <p><strong>MEANING & BIBLICAL APPLICATION: </strong>The proverb counsels against seeking riches by all means rather than fundamentally acknowledging the sovereignty of God in the determination of who gets 'wealthy' in life. This was discussed vis-a-vis our roles as God's children in wealth creation. </p> <p><strong>Scripture Cited include:</strong></p> <p>✥ <strong>2 Corinthians 9:8 NKJV </strong>says "And God <em>is</em> able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all <em>things,</em> may have an abundance for every good work."</p> <p>✥ <strong>Matthew 26:11 NIV</strong> says "The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me."</p> <p>✥ <strong>Philemon 1:6 AMP</strong> says "I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective <em>and</em> powerful because of your <em>accurate</em> knowledge of every good thing which is ours in Christ."</p> <p>✥ <strong>Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV</strong> says "And you shall remember the Lord your God, for <em>it is</em> He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as <em>it is</em> this day."</p> <p><strong>LINKS TO LISTEN TO THE EPISODE</strong></p> <p>✥ My Website — <a href="https://www.josephkolawole.org/omoluabi/" target="_blank">https://www.josephkolawole.org/omoluabi/</a></p> <p>✥ Other Platforms — <a href="https://pod.link/1550735589" target="_blank">https://pod.link/1550735589</a></p> <p><strong>FOR MORE RESOURCES FROM JOSEPH & ANU OLA</strong></p> <p><a href="https://linktr.ee/josephola" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/josephola</a></p> <p><a href="https://josephola.disha.page/" target="_blank">https://josephola.disha.page/</a></p>
