Choose between having everything you ever want in life and...

Hmmm...

If I could only turn them into cash
Yesssss!!! I have everything I need!!!


So, I asked my friends to choose between having everything you want in life and being able to change anything into money, while everyone else settled for having everything they want in life, very few said they'd go for the gift of turning anything into money.

I spent some time with a friend, Collince, his argument was that, if he had everything he wanted in life, there'd be nothing more to live for, life would  become boring and uninteresting.

I felt, if I have everything, there wouldn't be any more need for that human interaction that comes with daily/regular exchange, I don't know? Just my thought. What would I be needing anybody for? I might as well be a caveman and hide indoors for a hundred years.

What about you? What do you think? I really want to have everything I want...it's your turn...

Prepare for High Places

The idea is to stand among kings, I choose to be diligent. 

It's not so much about how much I earn now, or how many people are making things comfortable or uncomfortable around me. Scripture says "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings, he shall not stand before mean men." Proverbs 22:29

Seed time and harvest time will never cease, keep being your best where you are, keep God first place, maintain your integrity and strive for excellence, turn your talents to skills, develop your pearls, work through the criticisms, your payday is coming.

1Sam 2:8 "He raises the poor from the dust, He seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honour"

We cant afford to be irrelevant, God has prepared you for higher places 1 Cor 2:9 "Eye hath not seen..."

Am I a prosperity preacher???

Life doesnt have to be hard for everyone. When men say there is a casting down, keep saying there is a lifting. Quit listening to those people who say a certain stage of life or a certain position or a certain geographical location is hard or tough. Your cases are different.

God deals with prosperity on quite a personal level. In the realm of God’s Kingdom, an individual may prosper while those around him continue in the direction ofpoverty. Psalm 91:7 "though a thousand shall fall.. " There are numerous examples in the scriptures.

In spite of the realisms of our economy that do affect situations we may find ourselves in, there are spiritual laws that are superior to and rise above those situations.

God has said "I will bless you and you will be a blessing."Gen 12:2 Your gifts, talents, wealth, joy, are meant not just for you, but for people around you. Of course God uses people as channels,  His blessings on you are to empower you to reach His people.

In Deut. 28:1-2, 11 (amp.), it says, “If you will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God. If you will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth…And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God.”If one chooses not to listen to the voice of the Lord, v. 15 then says they shall experience the curse of poverty. Poverty is a lack in any area. It is obviously His will for us to prosper, as we see in Psa. 35:27 (amp.), “…Let the Lord be magnified, Who takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”

There is good reason for the Lord to desire us to be prosperous.

We have a work to do for Him and without sufficiency the work would be incomplete. In 2 Cor. 9:8 (amp.), Paul tells us, “And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].”

Prosperity is not for selfish gain but for Heaven’s gain. Open up your heart to receive from God, keep honouring God, do the right thing,  be diligent where you are, be good to people,  and watch God expand your barns.
