I’ll never forget how my brother, Dr. Clement Ogunyemi, challenged me to become a better steward of my finances while I was still in high school.

At the time, I had some income from a small candy business and playing the bass guitar at church. I wasn’t making much, but I was naturally frugal enough to have cash saved up. Most of my peers were spending their money on sneakers and fast fashion, but I held back—until Clement told me something that stuck:

“Your entire net worth shouldn’t be sitting in your closet.”

I see how he planted seeds of discipline, stewardship, and legacy in my life.

Today, Clement and I have teamed up to co-author a Biblical financial literacy plan that’s live on YouVersion:
Nine Tenth: A Biblical Guide to Financial Discipline & Freedom.

This 7-day Bible Plan equips families to build wealth the right way—by managing the nine-tenths of income God entrusts to us after giving.

What You’ll Learn in This Biblical Financial Literacy Plan:

  • Day 1 – Faith Without a Plan: Stewardship lets us give freely and teach financial wisdom to our children.
  • Day 2 – Income Protection: A will, life insurance, and emergency fund aren’t optional—they’re legacy tools.
  • Day 3 – Budgeting: Budgeting doesn’t kill joy—it creates freedom and intentional living.
  • Day 4 – Emergency Funds: Save consistently and build a safety net before the storm hits.
  • Day 5 – Debt Freedom: Break free from financial bondage with contentment and a clear plan.
  • Day 6 – Leaving a Legacy: True wealth is about what we pass on—not just what we earn.
  • Day 7 – The Financial Literacy Pledge: Commit to change, model wisdom, and lead your family well.

Why This Plan Matters

This isn’t just theory—it’s our story. We wrote this plan to help families apply biblical wisdom to their finances, live generously, and leave a lasting legacy.

We invite you to join us by taking the Financial Literacy Pledge—a commitment to lead your household with wisdom and purpose.
