"I never wanted to be rich, all I wanted was....."

It's very important that as you run towards your dream and goals, that you learn how to create well. I am not talking about loving money. See, I believe that lack of money is the root of all evil. People steal for money, people kill for money, people go to jail for money. Every time the unemployment rate goes up, in those areas where the unemployment rate is high, that's where we have the largest incidence of crime and violence.
When ever the unemployment rate goes up 10% in our community, ten thousand women and children are battered.
"I never wanted to be rich, all i've ever wanted to do was to be comfortable"... then i realised in other to be comfortable, you got to be rich!
Let me tell you what money does..

No. 1 : It gives you control over your life.

No. 2 : It gives you options.

No. 3 : It allows you to live a life of contribution - to contribute to the things you feel strongly about especially in this era Peter drucker calls " the era of the 3 C's - accelerating CHANGE, overcoming COMPLEXITY and tremendous COMPETITION"

IN YOUR DARKEST MOMENTS

And the bible says, “…at the fourth watch” (according to the Romans, it’s the time spanning from 3am – 6am) of the night, which is the darkest time. They say “darkest before dawn”-that’s the fourth watch. In the darkest period , “…he looked down and he saw them, he saw his disciples rowing against the wind”. It actually says “a strong wind was blowing - boisterous.” Stay with me… And Jesus came walking on water... (How cool is that!) *wind blowing* *his hair flustering in the wind, his clothes as well* Try to picture this scene. And don’t forget, it was in “the darkest time” Progress is hard without Jesus , it’s like 3 steps forward and 2 steps backward, it’s SLOW. If you don’t have Jesus on your boat. And the bible says “and the disciples looked and they saw him”, whoa what’s that??! IT’S A GHOST! They said. And Jesus’ answer was, in the Greek “I AM”. THAT’S the name of God. “Don’t be afraid, I AM”. And straight away Peter (who else?) said Lord, if it’s you, “BID ME ...

A LOVE WORTH GIVING

These are devastating times: 1.75 billion people are desperately poor, 1 billion are hungry, millions are trafficked in slavery, and pandemic diseases are gouging entire nations. Every year nearly 2 million children are exploited in the global commercial sex trade. And in the 4-5 minutes it took you to read this post, almost ninety died of preventable diseases . More than half of all Africans do not have access to modern health facilities. As a result, 10 million of them die each year from diarrhoea, acute respiratory illness, malaria and measles. Many of those deaths could be prevented by one shot. Yet in the midst of the wreakage, here we stand, the modern day version of the Jerusalem church. You, me, and our one-of-a-kind life times and once-in-history opportunity . Ours is the wealthiest generation of the Christians ever. We are bright, educated, and experienced. We can travel th...
