Walking your Way to Prosperity

Walking may sometimes be scaring especially when one is not sure of reaching his destination. This has been the main factor why many peopole have remained in poverty. Fear have characterised their life!

Today I want to handle the section of investment which I believe will take you to full prosperity.

Before you could embark on your Journey to prosperity, you should first note that God called you to prosper, you only need to know where to begin from.

Now I hope you are beginning to realise that this is a Journey which you should walk with determination! There is no way you are going to walk this Journey unless you have a leader with you! For this case, the Leader is going to be the word! yes, the Word and Information will be the Leaders through your Journey.

You should know that whatever you think is going to determine if you will reach your destination or just lead you somewhere.

Before, you start on any investment, first seek information on how it is run. This is very important in that it will help you; to kill that fear and also equip you with all the necessary tools to go ahead.

Remember, to walk a clear way, you need to follow a clear way. The only way to follow a clear way is by acqiring all the necessary imformation at hand before you start.

Last week I had a friend of mine here who had an investment idea some two years back. He remained with the idea but could not move a step ahead to realise his idea. Last month, someone put the same idea into practise by investing just next to his home! he was then complaining about how he had the same idea but failed because he did not have the necessary information!

How many ideas have you laboured to put in practise and if not, could you give satisfying reasons why you did not?

Many people live with very productive reasons but could not invest in making them a reality just beacuse they don't have the necessary information.

Also note that in every journey, you will meet obstacles which will tend to stop you from moving on. But if you believe that God is willing you to reach your set destination, you will succed.

There is also another factor of Lack or need. In whichever walk of life, know that you will meet a stage when you will live in scarcity. What matters is how you handle your needs. get hold onto the word and afterwards you will say, God is great!

Have I talked about opposers? yes, opposers are every where, in everything you do they will be there! They will tend to block you. What makes things worse is that these so called enemies may even be you! Imagine what you think, are not your thoughts blocking you from prospering? Just control what you think and think prosperity!

Remember the Bible says that God will bless you in the city and in the country. Why not take this blessing by walking into it?

Also remember that what you do now will affect your Children and even the grand children!
If you decide to live poor, then you will be placing a burden on all your children to spend most of their time trying to put up a certain investment!

So what you did not do for your children places a burden on them to do it. if you did not prepare a foundation for them to prosperity, they will struggle!

So please if you don't mind walking into full prosperity, at least do it for your children and the generation to come!

Overcoming Debt Burdens

The Lord will open the heavens to bless all the work of your hands. You
will lend to nations but Will borrow from none.

A brief study in today's deliverance crusades reveals that almost half of the problem that people seek deliverance is Debt burden.

Unless I teach you how to control your debts, my efforts to help you prosper will be in vain.
You will agree with me that all what God want you to be is a prospered being, regardless of your current situation.

Have you considered how much you spent last month? then ask yourself, did I spent my money in useful ventures? Am emphasising money because it is the major cause of problems in today's life.

Most people spend a lifetime trying to please others while suffering silently.

I know of a lady who tried to deceive the world that she is well off. In the process she borrowed from all avenues in order to fulfil her mission. This lasted for a short while until debts characterised her life.

Is this not the trend in which people are living? Borrowing and spending unnecessarily to please others instead of spending carefully to plan for their life!

Tips on Debt relief.
Let me first handle the preventive measures to help you minimise debts lest you fail to solve the problem after falling into it!

Before you start spending your money, Budget! It will be stupid to buy things which you will afterwards regret buying!

Previously I asked some of the youths here what they can do with $10,000 in case they get it by luck. Some of them told me that this may be the beginning of their death! while others said they will first buy 'Good' food and eat, drink until they are satisfied!

If it were you, how would you spend this money? Do you have a ready plan for such huge amounts of money?

before buying anything, ask yourself, do I want it? If you want it then ask yourself, Do I need it? this will help you from buying things you don't need but just want it because someone has bought it!

But still, even when you need it, again ask yourself, Can I do without it? if the answer is yes, then you should postpone it and spend the money in another thing. Simple!

Avoid following other people's ideas. You may also do the same thing but with your idea and this will make more important to you!

Let me give an example, We all need clothes. But do you need to spend half of your monthly income on a trouser and become a begger afterwards when you can get one that can even make you look more smarter at less than quarter the price of the other? And yes, when you are buying it, who do you intend to please, you or that person in your community?

I think in everything you do, it is better for you to be satisfied before you could think of pleasing others because they may even fail to be pleased!

Money Will never satisfy anybody unless we control our expenditures. But when you get credit from anyone, make sure you pay back, always avoid your debts to be written off because this may affects your financial image. Most people write off debts only to get rid of their debtors. So please don't fall in that category, work and think hard to solve your financial problems.

Remember Friends are better than your blood relatives (Poverbs 27:10), so if you are to destroy the relationship with your friends, do it at your own risk! Don't pay your debts and you will be sucessful in creating enemies around yourself!

May be I should tell you this before I stop this article, do you know that people are the avenue through wich God blesses you? However much you pray, however much you fast, all the money you want will come through people. It is through people that God will answer your prayers, so treat them in the very way you wish to be treated.
