One of the biggest traps in life is pretending to be smart.
Many people don’t want to look ignorant. They want to win arguments. They want to prove they know everything. But the truth is — the moment you pretend to know it all, you stop learning.
And when learning stops, growth stops.
When growth stops, income stops.
When income stops, dreams stop.
Real intelligence is not about showing off knowledge.
It is about asking questions.
It is about listening more than speaking.
It is about being strong enough to say, “I don’t know — teach me.”
The poorest mindset is the one that protects ego.
The richest mindset is the one that protects curiosity.
In business, in money, in life — humility creates opportunity.
Ego destroys it.
Remember this:
The smartest person in the room is usually the one who is quietly learning.
👉 Are you trying to look smart…
or trying to become smarter every single day?
Comment GROWTH if you choose learning over ego. 🚀

Being intelligent is good…
but being wise enough to hire people smarter than you is powerful.
Real leaders don’t try to prove they are the smartest in the room.
They build a room full of smart people.
If you always want to control everything,
you will stay busy.
But if you build a strong team,
you will grow beyond limits.
Success is not about doing everything alone —
it’s about creating a system where talented people help you win.
💡 Smart people create income.
🔥 Intelligent leaders create empires.
Comment “LEADER” if you believe teamwork builds wealth.

Money is not the biggest problem in business.
Skills are.
Most people think they need more capital to succeed.
But the real gap is knowledge, experience, communication, marketing, and leadership.
If you want your business to survive and grow,
invest in yourself first.
Upgrade your skills.
Upgrade your mindset.
Upgrade your results.
Success follows competence.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: MONDAY FEBRUARY 23RD 2026

TOPIC: THE UNLIMITED GOD V

MEMORISE:
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts. - (Haggai 2:8)

BIBLE READING: PSALM 50:10-15 (KJV)

10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:

15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

MESSAGE:
Over the past few days, I have discussed how God cannot be hindered by opposition, circumstances, or time. I will continue this series today by discussing how He rules in the affairs of men and cannot be hindered by resources.

Psalm 24:1 says, "The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: the world, and they that dwell therein." There is no need that is too great for God, the One who made the earth and its fullness, to meet. The world's richest man today only has a fraction of the earth's resources. Also, the combined wealth of the world's richest people is only a drop in the ocean compared to the vast riches that God has put on earth. In Mark 6:35-44, when a multitude gathered before Jesus and the disciples were worried about how to feed them, He asked them to search if they could find some loaves of bread, but all they found was a little boy's meal. I am sure the disciples must have thought that Jesus would laugh when they brought it to Him, but He took that little meal and multiplied it to feed over 5,000 people. When you give your little resources to the Lord, He will ensure that you have more than you need.

In (2 Kings 4:42-44), a man brought some foodstuff to Elisha that would have lasted him for a couple of days or weeks. However, Elisha was not alone; he had 100 other men, sons of the prophets, with him. When he asked his servant to serve the men, the servant wondered how such a small quantity of food would be enough. However, when the word of the Unlimited God came, that little food fed 100 men, and there were leftovers. When the word of the Lord comes upon the little you have, it will be more than enough.

In today's memory verse, God said that silver and gold belong to Him. Likewise, in today's Bible reading, He said that the beasts of the field and the cattle upon a thousand hills are His. God has unlimited resources, and one way to enjoy them is to live a life of thanksgiving. When you appreciate God for everything He has done, He will do much more. It is the will of God that you give thanks in all things (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

Beloved, make giving thanks to your heavenly Father your lifestyle. There is no limit to what God can supply when you give Him thanks in all things.

KEY POINT:
God is not limited by resources.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: DEUTERONOMY 5-8

HYMNAL:18 PRAISE TO THE LORD, THE ALMIGHTY, THE KING OF CREATION

1 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise him, for he is your health and salvation!
Come, all who hear; now to his temple draw near,
join me in glad adoration.

2 Praise to the Lord, above all things so wondrously reigning;
sheltering you under his wings, and so gently sustaining!
Have you not seen all that is needful has been
sent by his gracious ordaining?

3 Praise to the Lord, who will prosper your work and defend you;
surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend you.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
if with his love he befriends you.

4 Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!
All that has life and breath, come now with praises before him.
Let the Amen sound from his people again;
gladly forever adore him.

Today, something happened in our theatre that I still don't know how to explain

It was 2:17am.

Postnatal ward.

The kind of silence that feels unnatural… like the air itself is holding its breath.

She had delivered just three hours earlier.

First baby.
After 14 hours of labour.
The quiet type. Always saying "sorry" even when contractions were breaking her in half.

When we placed her baby on her chest, she cried and whispered,

"Thank You, God."

Her husband kissed her forehead.

"Sleep. I’ll watch our baby."

Everything was perfect.

Until it wasn’t.

She suddenly sat up.

Her hand flew to her chest.

Her eyes widened.

"I… can’t… breathe…"

Before we could even move

Her body went stiff.

Her lips turned pale.

The monitor exploded.

BEEP.
BEEP.
BEEEEEEEEEP.

Flatline.

Cardiac ãrrést.

Joy evaporated.

The same room that heard a newborn cry hours ago now heard nurses shouting,

"Call the doctor!"
"Start CPR!"
"Bring the crash cart!"

Her husband was pushed outside.

"Please! What’s happening?!" he screamed.

CPR started immediately.
Oxygen. Adrenaline. Defibrillator.

"Clear!"

Her body jerked.

No pulse.

Again.

"Clear!"

Nothing.

Her husband was outside crying,
"Please save my wife"

Thirty minutes later, the consultant looked at the clock.

His voice was heavy.

"Time of déãth…"

The room broke.

A nurse sobbed.
Another turned to the wall.

We had handed her her baby hours ago.

How does joy turn into this?

Her husband fell to the floor holding the newborn.

"Wake up… please… you promised we’d raise him together…"

She was covered gently.
Machines switched off.

The room went silent.

The kind of silence that feels heavy on your chest.

Cold.

Final.

As we prepared to move her body

The monitor made a sound.

One small beep.

We froze.

Another beep.

The doctor spun around.

"Turn everything back on!"

"Check pulse!"

We held our breath.

There it was.

Weak.

Faint.

But there.

"She has a pulse!"

Chaos returned.

Everything started again.

Oxygen. IV fluids. Monitoring.

Then her chest rose.

On its own.

Slowly.

She coughed.

The woman declared déãd minutes ago…

Was breathing.

Her husband was called in.

Tears rolled down her face as she whispered,

"My baby…"

At that exact moment, the baby cried.

Loud. Strong. Alive.

Nobody in that room held back tears.

Today taught us:

Life can slip away in seconds.
Joy can turn into mourning without warning.

But sometimes…

When medicine reaches its limit…

Mercy steps in.

And just when the story seems finished

Heaven writes another chapter.

And this one?

Was a miracle.
