“Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.”Isaiah 48:17 KJV
Do you know many ideas are floating around you that are solutions the world is looking for? When the Bible talks about wealth transfer, don’t look for it literally: don’t look for a billionaire to suddenly will all his wealth to you. No. Wealth transfer will happen because of the service the believer will render to the world. There are many challenges out there looking for a solution and no one is actively working on it? There are some believers that God has dropped ideas in their hearts but rather than take time to write it down and begin to pray over it, they throw it away because the first thing that comes to their mind is “How am I going to get money to execute it?” Then they dropped it. Beloved money is not the first thing.
The first thing to do when an idea drops into your head is to first accept it and then begin to pray towards it. For example, when Mary was told by an angel that she would conceive Jesus, she didn’t understand it. But she said: “… Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word…”(Luke 1:38 KJV).
Mary couldn’t understand it! She didn’t know how it would happen. But she accepted it. And the scripture says: “And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.” (Luke 1:45 KJV).
The problems of the nation where God has planted you are begging for answers. You might as well be the solution by the Spirit of God and all you will have to do is name your price and the rest will be history. 
Don’t waste the ideas that the Holy Spirit is giving to you. Run with them. He will guide and help you through. Because of the Grace of God, you will make a difference. You can do all things through Christ that strengthens you. I will hear your testimonies!
