Hesed Ojieh describes the weight of poverty when you have a family depending on you, not just yourself. He struggled with lack and asked God why he didn't have abundance, but realized his focus should be obedience to God's will, not money. He's determined his children won't suffer the deprivation he did.
you are broke and you're single, there's a different game. When you're broke, married, with children, no rent, no bill, no electricity, my brother, you will respect the power of divine provision. People just say things that are eloquent, but let me tell you, when the rubber hits the road, you're just the one that's going to be there fighting. Afuobi I fought it. The pain of lack cannot be expressed. I began to ask God, what is it that I'm missing? I'm a lover of Jesus, I'm a follower of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I'm a student of the Spirit. What is it that I'm missing if I don't want abundance? But I, I I don't want this self-affliction of lack to be with my children, my family. You see, let me tell you what drives me. What drives me? I'm not driven by money. I'm driven by obedience. I'm driven by divine obedience.
