February 11, 2017: Part 2 - N50 MILLION ANNUAL SALARY CANNOT MAKE YOU GREAT AND N60, 000 ANNUAL SALARY CANNOT MAKE YOU SMALL - Your Point of View (Perspective)

Your Point of View (Perspective)

Your greatness has a lot of thing to do with your point of view in life. Your journey to greatness will be determined by your point of view to what you earn either daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. The first thing God did to Moses when He was about sending him to undertake the task ahead of him was to ensure that he had a change of view about what he has been holding unto for a long time as an ordinary staff which has been using to shepherd his in-laws flock. 

If he didn’t change his view, Moses his tenable to have been making use of the rod/staff to beat up the Israelites when they are wrong. Not until Moses saw something new about the staff in his hands I guess that he would have been dropping it anyhow at home until when he saw that this stuff can become a snake, until he saw that this stuff was empowered to part the red sea, until he saw that this stuff brought out water from the rock, until he saw what the rod is embedded with. 

Until you begin to have a rethink about what you earn no matter how little or much. The Yoruba says “the money a child earn first is spent on beancake” that is those years for the youth that have that mentality where we have the likes of Pastor Mrs. Ibukun Awosika who is the Chairman of CHAIR CENTRE how she started with only passion and couldn’t wait in her first office for up to a year. 

The Group Managing Director of Global fleet today only had a different point of view from that of others as regards his NYSC allowances for more than two decades. The same money others will come back with and see it as money to buy good clothes, nice shoes, irresistible perfumes and the latest phone in town is the same money a Youth Corp will come back home with and start a business with prospect which he has been nursing from young age. 

I read an article about the Managing Director of a firm recently who has nothing at the point of getting wedded with her spouse more two decades now. After the wedding ceremony they were delighted for the success, then, the reality of life dawned on both. They decided never to be down with issues of life but the same wedding gift many bride who became wife will celebrate and keep keeping for many years until many of those gift become stale and to be thrown away in future, this woman decided to sell it off with the permission of his husband. She sold it and made more than N20, 000 those years which she used as capital to commence her Pharmaceutical outfit which is striving within and across her borders. 

She failed to celebrate these gifts that many celebrate and take pleasure in seeing them in their store room becoming a heap of dirt in future to come ad saw capital in it. Be certain about this that in every trash; there is always a treasure, in every mess; there is a message, in every uselessness; there is usefulness. Within the ghetto I was raised and groomed up before story began to change, we used to call some guys “dumping” the name which was coined from the major location of their business which is on the dunghill or dumping site. Their major assignment is to go to the dunghill where the community inhabitant have dropped what they have called trash, the keep searching for a treasure in the trash that have discarded and doing you know that indeed by the close of the day, their sack is always filled with some things that we have tagged invaluable and they take them back home or to recycling firm to recycle what they have gathered again. Those who threw it away saw dirt but they saw dollar in it. 

What can you see was God’s unavoidable question to Jeremiah? His response determined his approach. Your response to your income no matter how little and much it is will determine your approach to it and that is why listed below are a few points of how people view things which birth their approach and irrevocably determine what their outcome will be. 

Pot of Oil or pot of Wealth: The unlearned son of the Prophet who was following without seeing, he was hearing without listening, he was looking without seeing, he was thinking without knowing ran into a generational and inheritable debt in life for his faithful wife and innocent children. 

He lived all through with a point of view of seeing the pot of oil at home as pot of oil probably it has become what they use on their body after taking their birth. Lo and behold, the Prophet saw something different; he never saw the pot of oil rather the pot of wealth.  

Elijah’s Garment or Double Portion: The young son of the Prophet was smart enough to see that inside the old garment of his master lies what he has been asking and dying for which is the double portion unlike today sons of the Prophet who are probably going to throw away the torn garment in his hands as a waste of time for all his years of service. 

Elisha who have walked with Elijah grabbed the garment and saw something inside the garment he torn in his hands else he will have lived across the river Jordan but all because of his point of view, he saw the mantle and not the garment.  

Gift or Generational Income For Today (GIFT): In past years do men always think their gift is for fun or entertainment, if it were so, Solomon wouldn’t have told us that a man’s gift will make way (large room) for him. 

What can you see in your gift, the reason for entertaining or the reason for fame only, it is what you see will you get. I see GENERATIONAL INCOME FOR TODAY. Inside of your gift is contained what will never permit you to beg in life. 

Prophet or Soothsayers: It’s a pity today for so many people the way they handle their Prophet forgetting that Prophets are sent their ways as leverage but they have seen them as Soothsayers. Many are already bastardising the ministry of the Prophets forgetting everything the Prophet carry so that they can tap into in and benefit from the reward.   

What can you see in your Prophet? By the hands of a Prophet, He brought them out from Egypt and by the hands of a Prophet also, He preserved them, therefore, inside of your Prophet are your Liberation and preservation. Believe the Lord your God, you will be established, believe His Prophets, then, you are earmarked for prosperity. I promise you to write details on this subject “The Ministry of The Prophets”. You cannot get what you don’t expect or see from your Prophet. 

Seed or Bread: He gives seed to the Sower and bread to the Eater. Surely, He isn’t the one that tag each of them a Sower and Eater but each of them decided who they wanted to be by their point of view. Certain that the Sower is the Master of the Eater because the Sower has been structured to feed the eater. 

He that earns N10, million is possibly never to see it as a seed but as bread and will keep eating it spending lasciviously until he becomes dry financially just a few months away from work. He that earns N60, 000 can make livelihood many months after leaving his job all because he has handles his salary as a seed which is been sown and of cause will germinate in the measure of what has been sown but in hundred and thousands fold.
