You're not free yet until you are economically free. Better light the candle than to curse the darkness says a Chinese proverb…To be transformed is to be informed; you are only free to the degree of truth available in you. (Mark 25.14) Money is not your own, you're just a steward of any money into your coffers, Here in Nigeria; the lack of money is the root of all evils.
You get money in direct proportion of the services you're able to offer. For people to give you money…like kind of favors…is the lowest level of wealth you can get in this world.
You've got to develop an earning ability. Money is not in short supply; you don't see it with your eyes but with your mind. (Proverbs 22.29), you've got to become an expert somewhere in life, (Have you seen a man diligent in service or skills?...He will stand and dine with kings and noble men) go for excellence in whatever you're doing, according to the content of the verse in Proverb 22.29, what kings can afford to pay you when you stand before them, mere men can't afford that.
The more you learn, the more you earn. Cultivate your talent. Human beings are classified into two groups when managing finances...1. To one the money increases while to the other the money decreases. The difference between the rich and the poor is not in what they have, it is in their thinking.
'Everybody is in a race to impress people, even when they ain't there yet, the major difference between the rich and the poor is in their heart reason why the holy scriptures advises us to keep our hearts with all diligence…Poor people work for money while rich people make their money for them.
Learn to be frugal in your expenses…Spend less than you earn, learn to save (Proverb 20.20) 'expenses will always arise to compete with your immediate finances, Secondly, fight your appetite; you can't have everything you want immediately, NEVER! Start saving and learn to be disciplined with your savings, get the advice of experts to help you organize your portfolios.
Use your time wisely; time is the most valuable property in the world of progress. (Mark 10.27), whatever you're willing to walk away form, you will never be in that level again. There's no opposition without a position….May the Lord bless these words in your heart in Jesus Name…Amen!
