BECOME A SOWER, OWN YOUR BUSINESS

Wealth is gained through reaping of harvest. Harvest can only come after seedtime, hence, the need to sow. Harvest needs to be kept in a store as it accumulates. The Lord blesses the works of our hands and the harvest is deposited in storehouses. Deut. 28:8. The presence and capacity of a storehouse is therefore directly proportional to the quantity of harvest. An employee is paid a fixed amount as salary and as such, had a limited capacity for becoming wealthy. This, grossly limits the amount of harvest he can ever reap. The rest of his blessings are deposited in the employer's storehouse even though the employee may be the one doing the work...

An employer on the other hand, shares profit. He pays his staff and takes the rest. He owns the storehouse and reaps thereof. The owner is the fulfilled sower. He has a benevolent and generous mentality. The sower is the saviour of society. The eater depends on him to survive. The eater has an entitlement mind-set, he expects to get a job, a pension or a miracle whereas the sower works with God to provide the job, the pension and the miracle.

The sower, however, will at a point, have to work for or with someone. It gives him the opportunity or platform to learn and gain capacity to establish his own storehouse. This time will last as long as it will take to gain just adequate capacity. Capacity here could stand for capital, knowledge and experience. While working for or with someone, the sower does not think of himself or work as an employee. He works like an owner. He is as committed to the business as the man who owns the business. This prepares him for running his own business. The eater is a perpetual employee and is doomed as long as wealth is concerned. He has no time of his own, loses his personality and vision, lives in fear and is insecure. He will leave no inheritance for his children.

As we become sowers and that rightly, we must work with the owner’s mentality wherever we work now and ultimately strive to establish our own storehouses (businesses). This will position us to receive the wealth that God intends to give us.

NO REASON TO BE POOR

“For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land”, De 15:11.

We often make some allowances for poverty. Sometimes, it seems too big for us to imagine a world where everyone is prosperous. That way we allow ourselves to accommodate poverty. We must not do this. Simply because everyone is not rich does not mean that everyone should not be rich. It is true that the text above suggests that there will always be the poor in the society. It does not meant that that is the way things ought to be. It is just reporting that it is the way things are. The poor will not cease from the land because everyone will not commit to do what it takes to wipe away poverty from the society...

It is empowering to believe that everyone can and should be rich. Of course, that paints a picture of heaven and isn’t that what we are to do – to bring heaven on earth, Matt. 6.10. Even if some choose to remain poor to help fulfil the scripture, you don’t have to make this choice. A careful reading of the text shows that you should not be the poor rather you should be the one helping the poor, in other words, the rich.

A major reason for financial empowerment is peace of mind and freedom to live your full life. Without adequate financial provision, one is likely to fail to fulfil purpose. Poverty is often a distraction from what is really important in life. Money is definitely not the most important thing in life. However, if you don’t have it, you may likely not know that. You may forever feel like something is missing in your life because you don’t have money. You are most likely to be distracted from the most important things in life. Food is not the most important thing in life but a man who is starving can hardly do any other thing. If you left your house and travelled a far distance to attend a crucial event and there remember you didn’t lock your house, you are likely to be distracted from the activities of event you are attending. That is the place of money.

The Bible calls money a defence, Eccl. 7.12. Its function is to eliminate the worries that poverty often brings and help you concentrate on achieving your fullest potential in life. It is true that money is not the most important thing in life but when a man is unable to pay his house rent, pay the school fees of his children, provide food for his family and fulfil his financial responsibility in the community, it is difficult for the man to understand that. One needs to get money so as to forget needing money and live his or her life. The reason to pursue financial empowerment is not to brag about it, suppress people with it or worship the money. That is an abuse of money. The biggest abuse is to have and yet fail to pursue your purpose in life. The reason to get money is to create an atmosphere that facilitates the accomplishment of your purposes in life.

I pray for you to make all the monies you can to power your purpose. I love you.
