Going to school for education to get freedom from poverty dates back to a long time coming and it is becoming quite unpopular nowadays. In the world today, the wealthiest are not necessarily the most educated and we can see it in the life of our present billionaires. This is not disparaging the importance of formal education but the reality is that the number of degrees a man has doesn’t necessarily translate into wealth. The kind of education that creates wealth is that which enlightens the mind to be able to see Opportunities for wealth creation, and also gives the technical know-how to make the most of such opportunities. Ecclesiastes 9:17
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Rich educational background without required skills with which to solve problems and to create opportunities for wealth creation is nothing but frustration and poverty creation. Through employment, people may earn salaries from their employers, but it is God that allows a man possess creative ideas for wealth creation. it is God who gives wisdom and by his grace, we have the ability to recognize opportunities for wealth creation. Wealth comes as God shows you how to meet the needs of others, connecting with people and believing in God is one way on how to create wealth and improve the lives of other people.
Presently in our world, there are people who do not earn salary or work for money but while they are sleeping, their money keeps increasing. There are systems that they have put in place for money to keep coming to them. There are basically so many aspects to consider in life when it comes to wealth creation: A popular one is working to earn money: and another is, letting your money work for you such that it multiplies itself many folds. So basically, we have investments and earnings as ways of making money. As an individual, we can do both on the simultaneously. Brethren, one criteria for wealth creation is sensitivity to recognize divine opportunities for wealth creation. It is not by how far a man moves but rather how well the journey is, the battle is not to the strong, bread is not to the wise or wisdom that comes from just formal education, wealth is not to people of understanding, nor favour to people of proficiency; but time and chance happens to them all. One other important step is praying to God to reveal the opportunities for wealth amassing.
