Senior Pastor of the Qadosh Morning Star Cathedral, Bishop Kakra Baiden, has outlined three levels through which people can make money, stressing that prayer alone should not replace hard work, knowledge and the pursuit of opportunities.
According to him, wealth creation operates at three levels: physical, mental and spiritual.
Speaking about why some Christians tend to pray for money rather than actively seek ways to earn it through work, Bishop Baiden explained that prayer has an important place in financial success but should work alongside human effort and knowledge.

He identified the physical level as the first level of making money. At this stage, a person earns income mainly through physical strength and labour.
“The first level is physical, where I can carry things and make money. But usually that was the lowest level,” he said during an interview with Derrick Abaitey.
The second level is mental, where people earn money by applying their education, knowledge, expertise and skills.
Bishop Baiden illustrated this with the example of a person who has studied pharmacy and uses their professional knowledge to operate a business and generate income.
“The second level is mental, where maybe I've studied pharmacy like you and have a business and then I'm using my knowledge to make money,” he explained.
The third level is spiritual, which involves prayer and seeking God’s favour when pursuing opportunities.
Using a business transaction as an example, he explained that a person could pray for favour while pursuing a deal, asking God to cause circumstances to work in their favour.
“So maybe there’s a business deal. I’m praying for favour. I go, I pray that as we are doing the deal, I'll find favour in the sight of the person, and then I'll be given the deal,” he said.

However, Bishop Baiden cautioned against depending exclusively on the spiritual dimension while neglecting physical effort and the application of knowledge.
“The problem is leaving the first two and focusing on only the third one. But the Bible recognises all the three,” he stated.
His message was that financial success should not be reduced to prayer alone. Believers should recognise the place of work, knowledge and prayer in their pursuit of financial opportunities and success.
