Setting the right spiritual foundations
Everything in life needs the right foundations, be it a family, business, ministry, home, career, house, and your life, whatever you can think of, and name it, it all needs to be built on the right foundations. In Psalms 11:3-5 KJV, the Bible says, “If the foundations be destroyed what can the righteous do?”
See it the way God sees it
God sees and judges situations based on an eternal plan that He has for each and every one of us. It could be in your career, marriage, business, family, country, or even the world at large. Everything that happens in our lives, does not happen for one reason or the other, it happens for many reasons that fit together into God’s eternal plan for mankind.
God is Wisdom and Understanding
Wisdom is the ability to tell between right and wrong. Understanding on the other hand seeks search as to ask questions that help you know why it is right or wrong.
Decision making
Big miracles do not just happen. The devil will always fight them from happening in your life. That is why he will desperately drag you along for days, weeks, months, or even years in a problem.
Time-tested biblical principles of investing
Invest your money in foreign trade, and one of these days you will make a profit. Put your investments in several places—many places even—because you never know what kind of bad luck you are going to have in this world. Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 GNB The Lord Jesus Christ doesn’t want you to suffer in life. In fact, He wants you to prosper. He never wants you to lack money. God wants you to work and earn, but even more, He really wants you to be an investor. Someone who adds value where there was none, or rather who multiplies where there was value, to make even more value. Another version says, “Give your portion unto seven, or eight, for you know not what trouble shall come upon the earth”. Investing will avert lots of financial troubles. And it’s an act of giving. A lot of wealthy people today actually follow this one principle ‘Investing’. God says you need to invest in foreign trade. Even more, He says not only to invest in foreign trade but to have mastery of how to put your money in several places, that it may multiply. Jesus told a parable with this principle in it- the parable of the talents, ” do read it when you get time”. One thing you will discover is that God endorses business big time. Look at the opening verse again. Notice the keywords- Investing, foreign trade, several places, and profit. This is from God! Jesus once told a story, where a nobleman gave his money to his ten servants and went away to search out a kingdom. But when he came back he had to check who had added to it. “Do business with this until I come back”. Luke 19:11. He told them.When he returned he was after one result. To find out who have done trade and multiplied his money. The Bible says; “And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.” Luke 19:15 KJV Don’t wait on money or seat on it, it doesn’t like that. It will slip out of your hands unto those who do trade, invest and make profits. This is exactly how ‘money’ works or rather flows. Walk in the footsteps of the great. Invest, and make a profit. Divide your portion among seven or eight, and when trouble falls on the earth, you will be safe, because trouble will come. In finance, they call this diversifying your portfolio. My mother always used to say, “don’t put your golden eggs in one basket”. Although she wasn’t referring to money back then, now I understand why she said so. It’s very very risky to have your most priced treasure invested in one thing. Especially money. And yes a job is one risky way of counting on the money. Have the job but invest, or go for the long haul; do business and invest. Do yourself a big favor and start praying, and searching for investments, because God wants you to be great, to profit, and to be financially safe. He wants you to be generous with the money He has blessed you with, and when it multiplies to be even more generous, and bless others by adding value where there was none. I am sure when you start praying and seeking the Lord for answers, he will show you where you can invest your money. In the NIV Bible, the title says INVEST IN MANY VENTURES: “Ship your grain across the sea; after many days you may receive a return. Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.” Did you know this? I’m glad you do now! Four key things to remember-Invest (the act of giving or adding value)-Foreign trade (global business)-Several places (different ventures)-Profit (adding value or making a return). This is how great economies and nations are built. God bless and prosper you.
Master how to make your dreams come true
There are times when you have to understand the process of things when working to make your dreams come true. You do not just wake up one day living your dream life, as if it were some fairytale. I remember when I wrote my first book. It wasn’t like the experience, of writing the second one. I knew I had a gift from God, to write and publish the Gospel. I knew the word of God enough to share and teach somebody about Christ. However there was a certain knowledge I did not have at the time. I didn’t know how to publish books. So I learned that God wants us to learn the way it works (the process) even if He has given us a vision to do something. So I learnt how to self publish books. The Bible in Proverbs 3:19-20 GNB says; “The Lord created the earth by his wisdom; by his knowledge, he set the sky in place.” Wisdom and knowledge work hand in hand. Wisdom gives you the idea, vision, destination, and that which you want to make. But knowledge helps you put it all in place. The word of God is replete with so many examples about, getting understanding. Wisdom without understanding is empty, but wisdom gotten with understanding bears fruit. A Greek word is given for such knowledge. And it’s called epignosis. Today I can say I have mastered how to make my dreams come true and have the epignosis of how to write inspiring content, put together and publish it into books. So how did it happen? It all comes from the way God did it when He made the earth. In the Bible it says, the Lord created the earth with wisdom; by his knowledge, He set the sky in place. And in another place the Bible says, “Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do. Whatever else you get, get insight.” Proverbs 4:7 GNB insight can be translated (understanding). There is an insight here. What caused the Lord to create the earth was wisdom, the idea was in mind, and He created it. But what caused Him to set up the sky (heavens) was the knowledge, that He put to work after the wisdom He had. And that’s exactly what happened when I wrote my first and second book. I just know that I know the process. Now it’s much easier. What does it take to make your dreams come true? So this is how you make those dreams you have to come true. By wisdom, you can create a marriage, business, ministry, invention, product anything really. And by knowledge (epignosis: knowledge of a particular point; directed towards a particular object) you can set up its skies (its limits). In other words, you can set up the whole thing in full. So wisdom is important, and make sure you are getting the knowledge of what you want to create. Otherwise, it will remain just a dream. There is an understanding that you need to make your dreams come true. And God’s word can guide you to that understanding. After all, He is the source of all wisdom. So Get wisdom but also get understanding ( epignosis: knowledge, to know that you know, that you know, how to do it). Don’t buy a gun and not know how to shoot with it, lest you get shot before you shoot yours. Neither should you buy a car when you don’t know how to drive one. Otherwise, you will just park it. Do you get it? You have to know how to do it for that dream to come true. Learn the process, get knowledge and make your dream come to life. The right process will make it a success. May this be a turning point to your dreams and plans for your life. Next, I will show you the other insight in this process. There is an order you must follow. “Through wisdom is a house built; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.”Proverbs 24:3. Wisdom, understanding and knowledge are essential for the success of any given venture. Wisdom will provide the building blocks, understanding will certify it and knowledge will cause it to be fruitful. This is the specific order to make your dreams a reality. It’s literally a 1,2,3 process all working together to produce one thing, amd that isyour dream. One may ask, “but How does wisdom come about, and how do I get understanding and knowledge?” Rather, how does one know they are operating from wisdom, understanding, and knowledge of Something. It’s very simple. Let’s look at the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says, “The beginning of wisdom is to fear the LORD, and acknowledging the Holy One is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10. Wisdom begins when there is a deep reverence and respect for the Lord Jesus Christ. Without this holy fear, there will be no wisdom, and that’s not all. And if you are unsure about how to get wisdom, the bible clearly tells us to ask from God. What about understanding? The Bible also says, “acknowledging the Holy One is understanding”. When you truly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, that’s understanding. But it doesn’t stop here either. When you have wisdom and acknowledge who Jesus Christ is, then you have knowledge. You cannot acknowledge what you don’t know. It’s like saying this burger is nice without tasting it or taking a bite. That’s not understanding neither is that wisdom. That becomes an assumption or a guess. But then when you fear God, and acknowledge Him, through Jesus Christ, it is because you know Him. It can only mean absolute knowledge or unabated knowing. This is primary knowledge that sets the foundation for all kinds of knowledge that you will have of something. The Bible talking about Christ says, “He is before all things, and in him, all things hold together.”
