Hello friends, you would notice that we have not posted any new content to this blog in the past couple of days. This is not because we are not ready to serve you your usual spicy and hot postings. It’s just that we have been away equipping ourselves to serve you even better dishes. Yes, you guessed right, we have been undergoing a one week training on ‘Demystifying the Internet’ some 600 kilometres away from our base. In fact, we are still at the training but we felt we should not starve you for so long and that is why we just had to make out time to drop these few words.
Our beliefs contribute in no small way to the wealth we attract to our lives. From childhood in most climes and cultures, there are all kinds of myths associated with being wealthy. Some believe God has not designed it for all to be wealthy. For others the root of all evil is money while others believe that not every one can be rich so why try? Some others believe money is meant to be spent to satisfy their desires ( in other words, live for today as tomorrow would take care of itself). In the same vein, people in some climes are taught to hold tightly to what they have, never giving. Most times people hold tight to things even when such things have outlived their usefulness. People give out only what they obviously do not need or things that are not usable by them any more. Are all these beliefs true or false?
There is a universally accepted principle that givers never lack and lackers never give. If one does not learn or cultivate the culture of giving right from an early age, a principle of lack is unconsciously unleashed. It should be noted that in order for one to receive, one must learn to have an open fist because when your fist is clenched, you receive nothing. There is this story told of a man who fell into a water well and all efforts to take him out of the well by neighbours yielded no results. This was simply because he had been urged by his neighbours to stretch out his hand to enable them pull him out but he refused to do so. When his wife was contacted, she told them that they obviously did know her husband. She then told them that they should follow her to the scene and watch what she was going to do. On getting to the well, she called out to her husband saying ‘John Darling, please TAKE this rope’. John there and then immediately reached out and took hold of the rope. What does this tell us? John only knew how to receive but not give. He refused to stretch his hand when he was asked to do so even at the risk of loosing his life. What about you?
Are you like John? Are you in the habit of only receiving but never giving? If you are, it is time you began changing. It is time you began giving for that is a major key that unlocks the universal principle of receiving. It is clear that the more you give, the more you are likely to receive. You will be successful when you start obeying this principle. Today, America is one of the richest nations on earth. One of the reasons for this is that young Americans are taught the art of giving right from childhood and they grow up with the giving culture. No wonder, America is today what it is!
It is by giving that you attract more to yourself. The Christian Holy Book says ‘… give and it shall be given unto you, good measure pressed down, shaken together and running over shall men give unto your bosom’. The plain truth is that if you do not cultivate the habit of giving hardly would anyone give to you either. In a nutshell, you’ve got to learn to give, have an open heart and be willing to invest in others around you in order to attract wealth to yourself. Whatever your goal might be, you would only achieve it faster when you’re willing to give to others. This will bring into your life other people that are willing to also give to you to enable you achieve success. Note that giving here does not mean senseless giving or the giving of money only. Neither does receiving mean the same.
Our Dear friends cultivate the culture of giving: to the poor and needy, to the less privileged, to charity, giving of offerings and tithes, and see how money would fly to you.
Give it a trial, TAKE ACTION TODAY!
We remain deeply committed to your success,
