STRENGHTENING THE POOR 6

By -

A city had a very good shoemaker, his fame had spread across the all the surrounding cities. One day, an enemy city invaded the city of the shoemaker, they killed the king his cabinets, they killed every male they could lay their hands on but when they got to the shoemaker, the army general looked at him for a while and changed his mind, he told his soldiers to spare him and when they inquired why he would want to spare him, the general replied, he is the best shoemaker around here, and we’ll need him to fix our shoes.
They spared him because of the value he creates.
When money can’t spare anyone, when political name and position can’t help anyone, a man who creates value would flourish.
In the time of crisis, men who create value would be needed.
You must learn to identify a problem in the society that you will solve and master the art of solving that problem. Always train yourself to solve that problem, update yourself in better and better ways of solving such problems, learn of better tools you can use and use them in solving that problem.
The more problems you solve in the society, the more value you create for that society and one day the society would be forced to pay for the value you create and the problem you solve.
Those who got money without creating values would soon lose it to those who create values in the society and solves the challenges the society encounters as she grows.
To train a poor man to be rich, teach him to think of a problem in the society that he can solve and let him start solving it. Then let him learn of better ways to solve the problem and never stop learning.
Many men have earned a fortune in cleaning cities, some are billionaires because they drain toilets and many simply problems that don’t require great professionalism have been a stepping stone to many people into the life of financial freedom.
The problem of poverty in the society began when people want money when they haven’t created any value.
If you can think enough, you’ll discover the area where you can solve a problem in the society. DHL started as three men started helping their street neighbors deliver their goods and messages, they learn of better ways to do it and today they are worth billions of dollars because they identified a problem in the society and solved it first unprofessionally till they became professionals.
God bless you

EVIL

WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
