Factors that hinder ones wealth or riches are numerous, but below are some of them.
Firstly, is negative opinion from friends, relatives and government policies. A man whose dream and aspiration in life is to be great can end up being a pauper due to negative opinion from friends, relatives and government policies.
It is good to listen to peoples’ opinion, but when such opinion, does not help to encourage us have a blissful future, then our dreams, aims and objectives in life will be a mirage.
Secondly, is wrong association, Wrong association has the potent power of hindering our aims and objectives of becoming rich and wealthy. It is capable of eradicating our positive dreams in life. If you sincerely want to be rich, famous and wealthy then, watch the kind of friends you associate with.
Another factor is disobedience to God. We were made in the image and likeness of God, so we are bound to live by His rules and regulations in life. When you allow your earthly possession make you dishonour and disobey God then, be rest assured that your dream of becoming very rich and wealthy will not be blessed by God.
God owns the universe, and He alone possesses the power to determine who He blessed or cursed.
Another factor that hinders ones wealth and riches is inability to give to the poor and needy in the society. Majority of people have the erroneous belief that God will not demand of our accountability on earth.
The poor and needy in our society that you failed to help can also be a source that will destroy your sources of wealth tomorrow. Often times the tears of the orphans, poor and needy around us are capable of preventing us from having meaningful success from our business, politics, academic and pastoral ministry.
Another factor that hinders our wealth and riches is laziness. Laziness has reduce the status of millions of people across the world from becoming rich and wealthy. Don’t allow laziness to affect your dream and goals of becoming rich and wealthy. If you will add extra effort to your life then you will soon discover that wealth and riches are attainable.
Another factor that retarded the fate of people from becoming rich and wealthy is parental curse. Parental curse can retard the dream and aspiration of people . The fact is that they labour day and night to be rich and wealthy, but they are still poor and miserable because of parental curse.
I have come across thousand of people who confessed to me that they would have been very rich and wealthy by now, but due to parental curses they are still suffering. Those who came to see me with sincerity and genuine repentance as regards their condition due to parental curse had received deliverance
Another factor that retards the wealth of people is pride. Pride will lead you to destruction It has never improved wealth and riches of people, and it is obvious it will not help you also.
The last, but not the least reason is sin. Sin against God and constituted authority is capable of hindering your wealth and riches. Total repentance and restitution from ones sin can be an antidote to ones wealth and riches.
Those who make mockery of God and sin at random find it difficult to be rich and wealthy, while those who have listening ears have since changed from their wicked ways and are now living in wealth and affluence.
Factors that enhance One’s Wealth
Majority of people have the erroneous belief that ones effort or principles is not required when it comes into wealth.
Combined effort is very necessary if we must move from one level of wealth, success to significance in life.
Factors that enhance the wealth of people are:
One factor that takes one from obscurity to wealth is humility. “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death; even the death on the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and give him a name which is above every other name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under t he earth. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the father. “Philippians 2v5- 11
Humility exalted Jesus Christ and made him a reference point globally.
Irrespective of your vocation or profession humility is the hallmark to your success, wealth and riches.
The second factor is diligence or hard work. Diligence will enhance your wealth and bring you before kings and great men. Hard work does not kill, but it can kill poverty and bring you into prominence in life.
The third factor is God’s guidance. The primary reason why people failed in their life endeavour is because of lack of God’s guidance.
If you must succeed in life and be wealthy, then God’s guidance is very paramount.
Great men today who were once referred to as ordinary men achieved their present status because they hearkened to God’s guidance.
Your ability to constantly hearken to God’s guidance is your gateway to success, wealth and riches.
Another factor that has enhanced the wealth of people greatly is obedience to God’s instructions. How obedient are you towards God’s instruction and direction? The people who God blesses are those who daily listen to His instruction.
People who disregard God’s instructions can,ts far in life, but those who diligently hearken to His instructions are the ones that had direct access unto God’s wealth and riches.
Another major reason that has enhanced the wealth of people is idea. People who rule this world through wealth and riches are people who constantly harness their ideas. Positive ideas have the potent power to enhance your wealth and make you a celebrity on earth.
Men of ideas dictate the pace of the world. They govern their society, state or nation. It takes ideas to develop ones wealth and riches, if you must move from your zero level to a world of influence and affluence, then make it a habit to always develop your ideas.
Another factor that can effectively drive you into wealth and riches is faith. Faith in God and in yourself is the greatest hallmark to your fame, wealth and riches. I have met thousands of people who lack education, poor parental background, but with faith in God and in themselves, they ventured into businesses and within a short time they became very rich and made impact.
How is your faith and how far can you go with it? If your faith to be rich and wealthy says yes, God won’t say no.
The last but not the least factor that has enhanced the wealth of people is risk. People who dare to take risk find it easy to find gold, wealth and riches. The risk you failed to take at the appropriate time has brought millions or billions to those who were bold enough to undertake it. Your success, wealth, riches and fame are tied to your risk.
It is never too late to correct our mistake and take step that will enhance our wealth. If your inner drives say yes, God will respond Positively

How to Protect One’s Wealth
I have met numerous people who where ones wealthy but due to carelessness, laziness, pride and disobedience to God’s instruction lost their wealth, riches and fame.
Does it surprise you that people can loose their wealth? It is no more a secret that millionaires and billionaires who once lived in affluence had lost all they laboured for.
Permit me to say that wealth, riches and fame can adequately be protected and preserved for posterity. I totally agree with you that all wealth are not from God and as such it won’t stand the test of time because its foundation and sources are faulty.
One can protect wealth in the following ways:
Firstly, honour God with your wealth. Recognize the fact that God is supreme and as such the need for you to constantly use your wealth and riches to honour God become vital.
If you can’t honour God with your wealth and riches. Then who will you honour them with?
I have see and also heard how people honour satan and his agents with their wealth.
The primary purpose of your wealth is to honour God with it. It has helped numerous people and it is certain it will lead to your honour also.
Another way in which you can effectively protect your wealth and riches is to use it to alleviate the plight of the poor and needy ones in your society. He who live for himself lives for nothing, but those who live for others lives for everything.
People who constantly use their wealth and riches to help the poor and needy ones in their midst has found fulfilment, longevity and much wealth and riches at their disposal.
“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the lord, and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Proverbs 19v 17.
Another way in which you can protect your wealth and riches is through paying of tithe and investing into God’s kingdom. People who diligently pay their tithe and invest in God’s vineyard had met with great opportunity that led to greatness.
Payment of tithe and investment in God’s house have the capacity to eradicate poverty from your life, lead you into wealth and riches and grant you long life.
Another way in which your wealth and riches can be preserved is through adherence to government policies. Most people deliberately disobey government rules and regulations. Often times it has been proven that disobedience to government rules and regulation had led to the loss of millions and billions of naira or dollars by those who thought they were above the law.
Government laws are met to protect you, but it can also put you into problem.
Another method of protecting ones wealth is through prayer and fasting. Prayer and fasting has the potent power to prevent satan and his agent from destroying your business. There are several evidence in the Bible and in our circular world where satan destroyed the wealth and fortune of people. Yours will be an exception if you constantly fast and pray. It had helped to protect the wealth of others and it will certainly be an added advantage to your wealth and riches.
