Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 10: 4-6
Memory Verse: And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2 (KJV)
A few years ago someone attended a conference in the United States on investment and finance. One of the speakers was Bill Gates of Microsoft, and during the question and answer session, the person asked him a question that got everyone laughing. He asked if he, the richest man in the world could permit his daughter marry a poor or modest man. Bill Gates replied: First of all, understand that wealth does not mean having a fat bank account. Wealth is primarily the ability to create wealth. For example, someone wins the lottery or makes a fortune from gambling. Even if he wins $100 million, he is not a rich man. He is a poor man with a lot of money. That’s the reason why 90% of the lottery millionaires become poor again after 5 years. You also have rich people who have no money. For example, most entrepreneurs. They are already on the road to wealth even though they have no money, because they are developing their financial intelligence and that is wealth. How are the rich and the poor different? To put it simply: The rich may die to become rich, while the poor may kill to become rich. If you see a young person who decides to train and learn new things, who tries to improve himself constantly, know that he is a rich man. If you see a young person who thinks that the problem is the State, and who thinks that the rich are all thieves and who criticizes constantly, know that he is a poor man. The rich are convinced that they just need information and training to take off, the poor think that others must give them money to take off. In conclusion, when I say that my daughter will not marry a poor man, I am not talking about money. I’m talking about the ability to create wealth in that man. Excuse me for saying this, most criminals are poor people. When they are in front of money, they lose their mind. That’s why they rob and steal because they don’t know how they can earn the money for themselves. One day, the guard of a bank found a bag full of money, he took the bag and went to give it to the bank manager. People called this man an idiot, but in reality this man was just a rich man who had no money. One year later, the bank offered him a job as a receptionist. 3 years later he was a customer manager, and 10 years later he managed the regional management of this bank. He managed hundreds of employees and his annual bonus exceeded the amount he could have stolen. Wealth is first of all a state of mind, my friend.
Quote: Wealth starts in your mind
Prophetic Decree: May the hammer of the Lord crush every negative money mindset in your life, in Jesus mighty name.
