Have you all wondered why we have more people who are poor than those who are rich?
Could it be that it is because not many people are willing to make efforts?
We always want the easy way out. And funny a thing, there is no easy way out in life.
Think of it that it feels good to do nothing. If feels good to just lay on the bed. It feels good to watch jokes, be entertained, movies, etc. It naturally feels good to do things that do not add value to life.
And Isaac Newton understood this and came up with the laws of motion, first of which is:
“a body remains at rest unless acted upon by a force.”
Meaning that, it is natural to be poor in life unless you work to be rich.
You see why many people are poor?
When you do not warm your food, it spoils over time. In other words, when you do not do what you are supposed to do, things go wrong.
You cannot hope to be rich but still sustaining the life style of a poor man.
How many books have you read this year?
How many courses have you taken this year that are in line with where you are going in life?
You see, it is not the witch in your village that pinned you down or put you in a bottle. It is you who have refused to do the work.
I overheard someone playing an audio, which said:
"there is no dominion in being poor".
If you like keep shouting "I have dominion", and you are still poor, you are a servant to the rich.
Do the work!
If you do not know what to do, ask questions. God even said,
"Come let us reason together..."
Lazarus was so poor that when he died, he was squatting in Abraham's bosom.
Think about it.
By design, God has given us abilities to make profit with, what are you doing with them.
If you do not know what to do, ask questions.
Do not close your mouth and die in hunger.
We have a lot of people desiring for quick fixes...
Do not get trapped in that web.
Never hope that good comes so easy, and when it does, it vanishes overnight.
Persevere.
Do the work!
