There is no individual who has not be given at least
one talent he can trade with to acquire money. All you
need to do is discover your own and go to work.
Laziness is course!
There are three basic ways by which we can acquire money.
First, we can acquire money by borrowing it. However, borrowing to eat is not the best. It makes us slaves to those who lend us such monies.
“The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is a servant to the lender.” 1 Friend, decide to be on the giving end rather than on the receiving end.
Do Not Steal
Another means of acquiring money is stealing. This is rampant in our
society today. It is happening by the gun and by the pen. But I plead with you, DO NOT STEAL! Stealing attracts a terrible curse from God.
“Then he said to me, ‘This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: every thief shall be expelled; according to this side of the scroll; and, every perjurer shall be expelled, according to that side of it. ‘I will send out the curse,’ says the Lord of Hosts. ‘It shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of one who swears falsely by my name. It shall remain in the midst of his house and consume it, with its timber and stones.’ ”
My dear friend, for whatever reason, do not steal. You have God-given
ability to make money legitimately. Learn a trade. Go to school. If you do not have a job now, spend your time increasing your earning ability. God will help you. The scripture says, “Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.” 3
Making Money Legitimately
Finally, we can make money legitimately. We can increase our spiritual
and mental capacity by praying and studying. Also, we can increase our
earning capacity by associating with wealthy people. We can ask them
questions. “He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion
of fools will be destroyed.”4 Information is the key to transformation. You
can gain access to superior information by relating with successful people.
I believe that your time of divine favour has arrived.
In all your acqusitions, acquire value and knowledge and ultimately acquire money.
May you find favour as you in the race to acquire wealth.
