“If you think wealth is evil, stay poor and stop disturbing those of us who are trying to change the world through prosperity.” — Dr. Olumide Emmanuel.
For far too long, wealth has been viewed through a purely material lens—or worse, as something inherently evil. Many Christian entrepreneurs feel torn between their ambition and their spirituality. But what if wealth wasn’t just about having money… what if it was a spiritual mandate? In this article, we explore the spiritual side of wealth creation through the teachings and legacy of Dr. Olumide Emmanuel—renowned wealth mentor, pastor, and author of The School of Money. Let’s unpack how aligning with God’s financial blueprint can unlock true, lasting, and purpose-driven wealth.
In the Kingdom of God, wealth isn’t just about cash—it’s about capacity. It’s the ability to fulfill purpose, solve problems, and transform lives. True wealth is purpose plus wisdom plus resources. Money is simply the fruit of that alignment. As Dr. Olumide often teaches, money is a tool, not the goal. And unless your mindset is transformed, your bank account won’t be either.
Wealth creation began in the Garden of Eden. God gave Adam dominion, not dependence. Throughout Scripture, we see individuals like Abraham, Joseph, and Solomon walk in covenant wealth, not by luck, but by obedience and stewardship. Dr. Olumide emphasizes that financial literacy is not just good practice—it’s a spiritual responsibility. His School of Money program combines biblical wisdom with modern financial intelligence, proving that faith and finance are not enemies—they’re partners.
Religion has told us that poverty is piety. But this is a lie that cripples generations. Poverty is not a badge of honor—it’s often a symptom of ignorance. Dr. Olumide challenges this narrative boldly:
“You cannot change the world when you are broke. Wealth is not about luxury—it’s about legacy.”
Wealth is a weapon in the hands of the righteous—and it’s time believers stopped apologizing for their prosperity.
God doesn’t bless effort alone—He blesses alignment. Here are key spiritual habits Dr. Olumide recommends:
Dr. Olumide is not just wealthy—he is impactful. Through the Olumide Emmanuel Foundation (OEF), he has empowered thousands through education, medical aid, and skill acquisition. His real estate ventures employ many. His books enlighten nations. Wealth without impact is failure. As he says:
“You are not truly rich until your money outlives you and outlives your children.”
For the kingdom entrepreneur, business is ministry. Your startup is your pulpit. Your products are sermons. Your profit funds purpose.
