For the next few days, I'd be posting excepts from the book Money Matters by one of my favourite inspirational and motivational pastors, Pastor Sam Adeyemi. In this book, he spoke a lot about money.
“Money may not solve all the problems you have but when
you have it in correct measure and legitimately, it can
be a vital lubricant for your journey here”
One of the major goals you and I have in life is financial independence.
However, the subject of money is a source of frustration to many today.
This is largely because we do not understand the laws that govern its flow.
I believe that God will give you wisdom for your finances such that you will
never have to worry about money anymore.
The Law of Cause and Effect affects money as it affects every other area of
life. We may also call it the Law of Sowing and Reaping. Just like there is
no hope of a harvest until seeds are sown, so is there no hope of acquiring
money until certain things are done.
How to Acquire Money
To acquire the money you desire, you must believe that you have the God-
given ability to make money. “…For it is He (God)who gives you power to
get wealth…”
Also, you must believe that there is no shortage of money around you. You
have all that you need. Get rid of scarcity mentality and develop
abundance mentality.
The next thing you must do is to decide to become wealthy. Decision
determines destiny. A Yoruba proverb says that if you pound yam on fresh
leaves and prepare soup in small groundnut shells, the person who decides
to, will be satisfied. That means that however scarce money is, some
people will still be rich. I said to myself some years ago that if our
country’s yam is pounded in leaves, and its soup is prepared in tiny
groundnut shells, I would be satisfied. That point of decision was where
things began to change.
Dear reader, it is now your turn. Everything you need is around you. Just
believe because what you believe is what you become. Miracles will
happen in your finances.
Thank you for stopping by to read this except by an amazing Man of God.
