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. No matter which direction a tree falls, it will lie where it fell. When the clouds are full, it rains. If you wait until the wind and the weather are just right, you will never plant anything and never harvest anything. God made everything, and you can no more understand what he does than you understand how new life begins in the womb of a pregnant woman. Do your planting in the morning and in the evening, too. You never know whether it will all grow well or whether one planting will do better than the other” – Ecclesiastes 11:1-6
Wealth creation is a significant challenge to many, notwithstanding their exposure to several motivational and scriptural teachings regarding the subject. That is because not many people would like to fail in business or risk losses of time and money.
Furthermore, many do not like to learn a new skill because it’s tedious. But you need to learn something new at some points in life to give you more value to earn more money.
However, there is no doubt that many skilled people also fail in business. But that should not deter you. It takes care, time, hard work, and ingenuity to grow an enduring and lasting business. In all your endeavours, always call forth the spirit to take the lead; always brace up and prayerfully work through difficult moments while EXPLORING YOUR INNER TALENTS AND STRENGTH!
Some people lose money, waste time, and even lose their credibility in creating or building wealth. Be careful! You can still make money within the bounds of morality while keeping your credibility intact. Do not allow negative persuasion to derail you.
In God’s word lies the financial growth that you seek! What then is a Christian’s approach to wealth creation? You must first realize that risk and risk-taking are relative terms to answer the question. That means another could view what you may consider risk as something relating to everyday life. Today’s scripture encourages us to take business and career risks while developing multiple streams of income! You cannot tell which one venture will bring about a breakthrough!
PRAYER
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I decree the Lord will take charge of all my endeavours. I declare all my activities are legitimate and prosperous. AMEN.
