Femi Lazarus argues money and resources are morally neutral, shaped by the character of whoever holds them. He warns Christians against conformity that kills boldness, and urges believers to give generously and exercise strategic influence like Joseph of Arimathea did, rather than submit weakly.
Chapters
Don't demonize God's blessing. Resource or money is neutral. It is the hands that holds it that can be corrupt or good. If you like, dey dey. You know, the reason why many of you follow bandwagon is low self-esteem. If they are— you, you don't have the stamina to stand on your own. That's your problem. And when you have bandwagon of fools, they can even compromise the wise that is not bold. And before you know it, that ignorance becomes the culture so, but not in my lifetime. Have you seen recently that most of the movies they are admitting on Netflix must contain either nudity or homosexuality, which also is lesbianism in a way? Why? He that pays the piper dictates the tune. Think about it. Why is it that those on the other side pay so much money to fund their agenda while at the same time they are making Christians look like if you give in church you're a fool? Many of you know you are— your heart has become so offended you don't even know how you got here. Some of you can't tell the last time you gave, but they are giving. Go and check our agendas get funded. Go and check our agendas get funded globally. Something they want to see, they fund it years ahead. If all of God's children are broke, how can you catch up? Wake up, sir. Don't let anybody bubble you. Wake up. How can you catch up? Look at how the chief priests, the high priests, went to pay people to lie that Jesus didn't rise. Well, thank God he had that private, that secret disciple, Joseph of Arimathea, who was able to negotiate with what's-his-name now and say, can you give me his body? That's influence. That's influence. See, it's leverage. True. We were going to hold a meeting in a state, and then I have one of my spiritual daughters who is an SA to the governor there. We had to fly back, so that morning session needs to hold, and there was public holiday, but we could get a letter from the governor to suspend that public holiday because this meeting was old, and it blessed lives. People gave their life to Christ. He didn't design us to be rats. We are lions in our own ways.
