WEALTH

Wealth from an angle is seen as proficiency of money, property and the likes. But have you ever asked yourself what true wealth is? True wealth in itself cannot be quantified. Wealth in its self is God given, so therefore, it is God sustaining. Good health is great wealth, loyal friends is also great wealth. Above all life and salvation is the most treasured wealth one has. I believe most place value on the tangible and materialistic pleasures of this world forsaking what is truly wealthy and worthwhile. This is not to say that I dont believe in money and riches or to play down their importance to humanity. Have you ever asked yourself this question? Are wealthy people truly happy? wealth is necessary but it is a way to means. who would you share your joys with, your pains, your achievements and whatever is attainable with money and position, if one does not have a friend or a loved one. Remember just a word from someone special could change situations from worst to best. So therefore which is more valuable, the riches or the people?

Wealth in my opinion is God given. It’s basically the blessings of the lord that makes one rich and adds no sorrow to it. Without God’s blessing our efforts are surely futile. Come with me so as to prove this fact or truth. The word of God says in Deut.8:18 that But thou shall remember the lord thy God: for it is he that gives thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swear unto thy fathers as it is this day.

1 Chron. 29:12 says Both riches and honor come of thee and thou reigneth over all, and thine hand is power and might and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. Prov.8:18 say Riches and honor are with me yea durable riches and righteousness.

From the very first and second quotations one can deduce that the words are powerful. Power can also be related to strength, will, might, capacity, ability or potential. The bible also says in the book of Prov.24:5 that a wise man is strong; yea a man of knowledge increaseth strength. Hozea 4:6 says my people perish for the lack of knowledge.

The underlying fact is ideal that its God who drops the idea into your heart through knowledge. This burns more like a burden and a passion than just an idea. Passion without knowledge is like zeal without knowledge. Take the time to seek underlining facts connected to that ideal, be sincere to it, be devoted to it work at it. Great wealth is brought forth out of simple and slim thoughts and ideas received by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Example, I feel like doing this, I don’t know why I do this but I do this all the same. You have actually located your wealth base.

Most people after receiving this idea bury somewhere or throw them away unconsciously because we don’t give life to it. We throw our God given wealth ability to the wind. Most people are pursuing programmes they just dont have interest in, yet they find nothing wrong with it. You must know who you are and that moves the man or the woman in you and be true to that call.

It all depends on what one has bee called to accomplish on this earth and the amount of deposited him or her. Please envy no one; just appreciate yourself for who you are, because one person’s weakness is another person’s strength. No two people are the same, you are special in your own small way. What one to do is to add value and character to whatever God given wealth that is in him/her? One also has to realize those who come to criticize. They are all essential to him or her so as to be a well balanced individual. Never be agitated by your enemies but be grateful for their presence. Never also play down on the God given wealth that is in you because God can take the little and make it seem very very big. Please don’t tell yourself I have no worth. That is a big lie. Go to your creator for he placed it in you. He is therefore the one who can teach you to maximize that strength. I mean surrender your life.

Basically it’s through these ideas that on trades to make it to the top as well as find fulfillment and material wealth. Please check your friends who downplay you for no particular reason because there are dream killers and vision vanquishers all around us. Believe in whatever God given wealth in you for it is through this one that this can find fulfillment and tap into the material wealth one wants to the fullest. Therefore the greatest wealth one needs is already inside you; it is very close to you so please open your eyes and see its worth.

Finding who you are means looking back at your past failures and achievements. Some failures can be our strength. It is just what we fail to give it our best shot. All things being equal, it might be that we also could not have enough faith in ourselves to pull through. I believe the answers lie within you. The time has come for a second chance, amend the previous strategies, and formulate a new one taking into consideration the short comings of previous failures. Work at it whole heartedly, see specialist on the subject and find readable materials and information concerning the subject in question. Remember there is nothing as failure but it’s just an attempted defeat. Maintain a positive mind set, above all, remember the greatest wealth you need is you.
