WEALTH CREATION

I am weary, worried, and disturbed of being without money in the mist of plenty. Poverty is my enemy. About me is much display of wealth, but of it, I have almost naught. It appears few people know how to acquire wealth and therefore monopolize it. Perhaps, money is reserved for those who know its laws and abide by them.

Some people think money is evil and will spoil us, others believe that money will make us spiritually cold and pursue things of earth instead of things of Heaven.

No! Not at all!! This is not true; it is the love of money that may separate us from God and the lack of money make us spiritually cold. A person can be very rich and use part of his riches for the extension of God’s kingdom- the spread of the gospel.

It is like this- There are two friends of mine, one is very rich and the other poor. Whenever I visit the rich man, he never mentioned anything about his cars or wealth. He talks about God and his goodness, faithfulness, mercy and blessing; whereas whenever I visit the poor man, he talks about his old car, the breakdown and the expenses associated with it. He thinks about how to cut corners to meet these expenses.

Then I thought within me, if only this my poor friend knows how to praise God and give thanks to God instead of complaining and blaming God for his poverty; he should begin to imagine his needs being supplied by God who is able. He should learn to trust God and allow God to supply all his needs.

Jesus said in Gospel according to Matthew 21:22, “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer”. Also Mark 11:22-23 Jesus said, “Have faith in God; I assure you that whoever tells this hill to get up and throw itself in the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him”.

In this concept, our hill is poverty in our life. It is true that everything begins from the heart, the journey from poverty to riches and from financial backwardness to prosperity is an internal trip, once you move inside; the outside will be compelled to move.

The way you think has a direct bearing on your level of poverty and riches. Your thinking pattern must be geared towards good things. Show me any good business that was not once a dream in someone’s mind; the dreams of today are the realities of tomorrow.

Dare God and have a vision in your heart and dream the dreams of prosperity.

Take practical approach to wealth creation, everything comes from the heart.

Watch your thoughts; they become your words,

Watch your words, they become actions,

Watch your actions, they become habits,

Watch your habits, they become character.

Watch your character, it becomes your destiny. I have found that one thing keep someone perpetually poor, that is believing that you keep on doing what you have been doing for years over and over and get different result. False hope.

We can not continue to do the same type of business for years using the same method, the same principle without any innovation and expect different result. Are you really interested in wealth creation? Do you want to cross over from your shackle of poverty to financial buoyancy? Are you willing to be rich? Do you believe you can be rich?

Dream yourself to a new level, and think about your past life. Did most of your dreams come through? Did you achieve what you set for yourself a year ago? Did you go to the school you wanted to attend or learn the trade you wanted to do? Did you get the job you wanted? Did you marry the man or woman you wanted? Have you been able to guide your inner mind and achieve what you want to achieve till the present date? For the recent past years, have you being able to arrange your finances and have robust savings? If you didn’t, then, you need to do something to reverse your poor financial position.

Your financial breakthrough is proportional to the nature of work you do to make money. For instance, a pepper seller is a small market whose total turnover in a month is not more than ten thousand dollars should not expect to make a million dollar profit within twelve months, whereas, the big merchant whose turnover is well over one hundred million dollar a month should not expect to have the level of profit as low as the pepper seller. The penalty for high risk is probably loss and the reward of high risk is huge returns associated with such calculated risk.
