Omoluabi Podcast | Season 5 Episode 2

PROVERB CONSIDERED: “Ajé ní ḿba ojú ọ̀rẹ́ jẹ́.”

ENGLISH TRANSLATION: "It is money that brings a frown to the brow of friendship."

MEANING & BIBLICAL APPLICATION: The point of this proverb, to put it simply, is that nothing ruins a friendship more surely than the intrusion of money. In other words, money is very sensitive and requires wisdom to manage it properly.

It is often said that the top 3 things that destroy marriages are communication problems, sex-related problems, and money-related problems. We agree. So what attitudes towards money management tend to ruin friendships, partnerships, marriages, and other relationships? We highlighted a few of them in this episode, including:

1. Laziness.
2. Wrong attitude towards Savings and Investment
3. Greed
4. Debts (borrowing and not repaying)

We concluded by recommending a sound stewardship mindset towards managing money.
