Is This Why You Don’t Have A Million Dollars?

Think about this…

Until you make the decision to do something or have something, you don’t need ANY resources.

If you haven’t decided to become a Millionaire For Jesus, why would you need a million dollars?

If you don’t have visions of you doing certain specific things to build up the Kingdom of God, why should you have any resources?

The fact is, until you can see yourself doing things for the Kingdom of God and make the decision to do them, YOU DON’T NEED ANY RESOURCES!

But, when you commit to doing a work for God, the resources will start appearing.

Do you find yourself with limited resources and limited money?

Is it because you have no vision of what to do with it?

Is it because you haven’t made a decision to do something great and grand for God’s Kingdom?

The Waiting Strategy

In Mark Chapter 2 we read a story of four men who wanted to see their friend helped…

And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith…

  1. These men weren’t going to wait around for something to happen.
  2. These men weren’t going to be put off by obstacles.
  3. These men weren’t looking for reasons why they could not get what they wanted.
  4. The knew that Jesus was where their help was at and they TOOK ACTION on what they knew.
  5. Jesus didn’t respond to the need or the problem.
  6. It was when they took action that Jesus “SAW their faith” and responded.

Taking your Knowledge, Experience, and Abilities and WAITING is a strategy that DOES NOT work.

Taking ACTION based on the Knowledge, Experience and Abilities that you do have right now is a strategy that DOES work.

If you want to become a Millionaire For Jesus, you must take action.

For those of you who have been following my articles for a while, what action have you taken since the last time I wrote about taking action?

If you haven’t taken any action, notice that your financial situation is no better than it was the last time I wrote about taking action.

Take the leap of faith and take action now. Your only regret will be that you didn’t take action sooner.

In 2 Kings Chapter 3, we see a story about the army of Israel besieged by the Moabite army and the Israelites have no water. Finally in desperation they call for the prophet Elisha. He tells them, if you want water, you have to dig ditches all through this valley that you are in. AFTER they dug the ditches, THEN God sent the water.

Is your bank account on the “dry” side? Grab hold of faith and belief, take action and get to “digging your ditches” based on the Knowledge, Experience, and Abilities that you have right now. Once you’ve done your part, God will do his part. At the same time, God won’t do His part until you do your part.

If you want God to work in your finances, you’ve got to take action. The waiting strategy won’t work.

1 Corinthians 3:6 reveals to us, “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

Now, we know that this setting of scripture is referring to winning souls to the Kingdom of God. But, at the same time, it reveals one of the laws of God. Action is required on our part before God will do His part.

God has given you Knowledge, Experience, and Abilities. He tells you to have faith in Him to work through you. For Him to work through you, you must take action.

2 Corinthians 1:19 let’s us know, “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

How is God to get glory from you if you won’t take action?

Go to prayer. Let God lead you. Listen to God as He talks to your heart and then take action on God’s prompting.

The waiting strategy doesn’t work.

What Do You Think Of This Man’s Perspective?

The following comes from Robert Proctor:

Prosperity is the manifestation of big, exciting, service-oriented goals. The fact is, there is no virtue in poverty and no sin in great wealth.

One of the ideas you must free yourself from is that there is virtue in poverty. That could not be true.

George B. Shaw once said, “It is a sin to be poor.”

You know that sin is the transgression of the law.

You also know that money is a reward received for service rendered.

Therefore, if you are in a profit-making enterprise and you are earning very little money, you must not be providing much service. The law says, “Give and you will receive.” If you are not receiving much, you are not giving, and that is a sin.

Therefore, Shaw’s statement is accurate – it is a sin to be poor.

Are You Guilty of These Two Loves?

Here’s the first love that will break you…

Proverbs 21:17 – “He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man

If you “live for the weekend” – you love pleasure.

If you find yourself constantly buying “trinkets” and “doo-dads” and “stuff” that you don’t really need but it makes you feel good to buy them – you love pleasure.

If you constantly go from TV to videos to the movies and back to TV – you love pleasure.

Are there other pleasures that you find yourself loving – that are causing you to be a poor person?

Here’s the second love that will ruin you…

1 Timothy 6:10 – “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

We can either love money or we can love God. It’s impossible to love both. Matthew 6:24 tells us this, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Here’s the problem. When you love and want and crave money above all else, you are on a track to absolute ruin. When money is your first consideration and God, family, or people are your second consideration, then you are on a track to absolute ruin.

Think of it like this. Throughout the entire Bible, we get repeated glimpses of God’s unfathomable wealth, riches, and splendor. But, no where in the Bible will you find anything about God loving His wealth, riches, and splendor.

What you will find over and over is that He loves people.

He loves you.

He wants you to love Him back.

And in fact, it’s when you and I love God above all else that everything else will start working for us.

Consider these two key verses:

  1. Romans 8:28 – “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God
  2. Matthew 6:33 – “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Make sure your love is focused on the right thing – on God!

The One Way To Make Your Dreams Come True

What is it that you catch yourself dreaming about from time to time?

What is it that you see yourself doing or accomplishing in your dream?

Who do you see yourself helping?

Geographically, where do you see yourself at in your dream?

What are the feelings that you feel in your dream?

What is it that makes your dream so wonderful?

If only your dream could come true…

I’ve got good news for you! Your dreams can come true.

We can find the way to make dreams a reality in Ecclesiastes 5:3 – “For a dream cometh through the multitude of business”.

The sooner you turn your KEABA (Knowledge, Experience, Ability, Belief, Action) into a business, the sooner your dreams are going to come true. (See the ‘2005-10-09’ archive for more on KEABA)

When you are working for someone else, you are helping them achieve their dreams.

How can you bring your dreams to a reality if you are busy working on someone else’s?

When you get your own business going, you can bring your own dreams to fruition.

Note: In reference to the word “multitude”, seehttp://www.millionairesforjesus.com/Blog/2005/11/srs-formula.html.

How To Think

We find the answer on how we are supposed to think in Proverbs 21:5: “The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

The thoughts” – notice that everything starts with the right thoughts.
tend only” – This lets us know that our thoughts must be focused and single-minded
plenteousness” – notice that these are not thoughts of lack or thoughts of what we don’t want.

It is important that you be careful about how you frame your thinking.

For example, setting a goal of “getting out of debt” might sound good on the surface. But, when you dig into it, it really means that your goal is to always have debt so that you can always work at getting out of it. Just about the time you start to get out of debt, you will do something to put yourself right back into debt so that you can continue working on your goal of “getting out of debt”.

Obviously, this isn’t what you want!

A better way to reframe this goal might be, “operate on a cash-only basis and never owe anyone”.

hasty” – this is the kind of person looking for easy, fast, a shortcut or something for nothing. This is the kind of person who can’t even conceive of “giving” because they are so busy “wanting”. This is the kind of person who wants to do it “their” way instead of God’s way. Ultimately, this kind of person’s life is marked with poverty, lack, and want.

A Warning For Men

Stay with me to the end now because the following may be having a huge LIMITING impact on your ability to grow and increase your WEALTH

Matthew 5:28 – “But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Jesus did not tell us not to lust after other women just because He didn’t want us to have any fun. He told us this because He wanted the BEST for you and I and because He understood the severe consequences of lust.

What are the consequences?

Well, there are actually quite a few consequences described in the Bible. However, we are only going to concern ourselves in this setting with the one that pertains to MONEY.

Let’s take a look…

Job 31:1 – “I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
Job 31:9 – “If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door;
Job 31:11 – “For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
Job 31:12 – “For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would ROOT OUT ALL MINE INCREASE.

These scriptures make it clear what we are to refrain from:

  • Sexual fantasies about some person you aren’t married to
  • The advances of a whorish woman
  • Seeking a sexual relationship with someone you aren’t married to

Why? Because the consequences are two-fold:

  1. To do so becomes a mental wildfire that eats away at you until eventually you will start trying to act it out in reality and it completely destroys you, your home, your career, your life, and everything that is important to you.
  2. God’s curses your financial situation and removes your ability to achieve financial increase.

Am I talking to you?

Can you now see why your success has consistently been just out of reach and why you’ve never been able to get ahead?

Here’s the three-part solution…

Part one of the solution can be found in 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Get on your knees and confess your sin to Jesus Christ and ask Him to forgive you and cleanse you and to give you the power to overcome this sin.

Part two of the solution was in Job 31:1, “I made a covenant with mine eyes”. You must determine in your heart – you must make up your mind – that you are going to control what your physical eyes are going to look at and what your “mental” eyes are going to dwell upon.

Part three of the solution is to continuously quote to yourself Psalms 101:3, “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes.

PUT AWAY the pornography.

PUT AWAY the TV and the movies with nudity, sexual themes and sexual innuendos.

I know that in our society, this can be a challenge but you can do it – you MUST do it – if you want your FORTUNE to INCREASE.

Instead, put your focus, your attention, and your attraction upon the companion you are married to and let God bless your LIFEand your FINANCIAL SITUATION.

Bottom line, don’t let your eyes and your imagination take away your fortune and destroy your life and everything that is really important to you. Rather, choose to be a Millionaire For Jesus.

Want To Know?

Want to know how YOU can have a life full of PEACE?

Want to know the real secret to attracting WEALTH to YOU?

Want to know how YOU can get your FORTUNE?

Want to know how YOU can always have plenty of SPENDING MONEY without affecting your fortune?

Want to know how YOU can have the ultimate PROTECTORlooking out for YOU?

Then pay close attention because YOU are about to DISCOVERthe ANSWERS

Job 22:21-26 tells us, “Acquaint now thyself with him (God/Jesus), and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

Now, it is CRITICAL that you pay real close attention as we extract the SECRETS from these verses…

Acquaint now thyself with him” – Here, we are instructed to get to know the Lord, to develop a relationship with Him.

at peace” – This defines the state of mind of the person who is truly acquainted with the Lord. On the other hand, those who are not acquainted with the Lord crave constant entertainment and recreation or they will go absolutely CRAZY…because they have no real peace.

good shall come unto thee” – For those who are truly acquainted with the Lord, good comes to them. Notice that itCOMES to them. In contrast, those who are not acquainted with the Lord are chasing and pursuing. Then, for the few who actually “catch” what they are chasing, they then discover that it wasn’t what they really wanted so they take off pursuing something else. And, they can never attain what they really want because what they are looking for comes from God.

lay up his words in thine heart” – The Bible gives us the ability to acquaint ourselves with the Lord. And, it gives us the information we need to take the ALL IMPORTANT next step…

If thou return to the Almighty” – Here’s the condition. Here’s what you’ve got to do if you want the promises fulfilled in your life. This is the HINGE POINT upon which every thing you want swings.

thou shalt be built up” – Who wants God to build them up? I certainly do!

thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles” – Iniquity is defined as wickedness, sinfulness, and immorality. And here’s why you WANT to put it away from your heart, home, and business (tabernacles). Iniquity takes away. It drains. It steals. It destroys. It results in the opposite of all the good that God wants in YOUR life.

Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks” – Some of your fortune will be made up of smaller INCOME-PRODUCING ASSETS(dust) but yet they are still very valuable because they minimize your risk. Some of your fortune will be made up of biggerINCOME-PRODUCING ASSETS (stones).

Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence” – Who wants God to be their protector and defender? I certainly do!

thou shalt have plenty of silver” – This is the money to pay for expenses, utilities, needs, and enjoyment of life. This is yourSPENDING money and is distinctly separate from yourFORTUNE.

thy delight in the Almighty” – God’s blessings in your life should cause you to want to get even better acquainted with Him and cause you to want to turn to Him even more.

lift up thy face unto God” – At the very core of your being, you should want to look up to God with praise and thanksgiving. And, when God sees your praise and thanksgiving, He will bless you even more.

WOW!

Think about what you have just read. I mean really think about it. In fact, go back to the top of this post and reread the whole thing.

It is my opinion that this setting of scripture better describes the kind of life God wants His people to have than any other setting of scripture.

And, as you noticed, this setting of scripture is contained in the book of Job. As you probably know, the entire book is the story of Job going through hardship, heartbreak, sickness and disease, and poverty.

Guess what? You too will find hard and difficult times in your walk with God. BUT, just as it was with Job, they are short-term and temporary situations where God is “trying” you to see if you truly love and trust Him above all else.

So, get acquainted with God through His Son Jesus Christ and gain these powerful benefits and blessings – PEACEWEALTH,PROTECTION – in YOUR life.

Are you acting like a Lobster?

“A lobster when left high and dry among the rocks, has not instinct and energy enough to work his way back to the sea, but waits for the sea to come to him. If it does not come, he remains where he is and dies, although the slightest effort would enable him to reach the waves, which are perhaps within a yard of him. The world is full of human lobsters: Men stranded on the rocks of indecision and procrastination, who, instead of putting forth their own energies, are waiting for some grand billow of good fortune to set them afloat.” — Dr. Orrison Swett Marden.

Look at what the Lobster does… it waits.

How many people do you know who are waiting for “luck” to turn on them? Are you one of those people?

Look at the phrase, “the slightest effort would enable him”.

The lobster wouldn’t even have to do anything fantastic, grandiose, marvelous, or spectacular. It just needs to put forth a “slight” effort.

Are you putting forth even a slight effort to become a Millionaire For Jesus?

Spend some time really thinking about and meditating upon this quote. Let it really register in the very core of your being. Let God talk to your heart.

Here’s Another Set Of Thinking Patterns, Which One Is Yours?

Are you clutching to the job you currently have?

Do you feel that today’s economic system is just too shaky?

Are you afraid to step out in faith and start offering your KEABA (see previous posts) to the marketplace?

Do you feel that the future is too uncertain for you to do something as risky as starting your own business?

My friend, if this is how you think, feel, and believe, you are in a DANGEROUS place.

Why?

Because for you to be thinking, feeling, and believing this way means that you are trusting in this world, you are trusting in man, you are trusting in anything and everything except God.

Jeremiah 17:5 tells us, “Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

Do you see yourself in this scripture? I sincerely hope not.

But here’s where it gets good…

In Psalms 37:17,19, we see how the Christian – the Millionaire For Jesus – should be thinking: “The Lord upholdeth the righteous…They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

Wow! Isn’t that a wonderful verse?

Think about the Lord holding you, keeping you, guiding you, protecting you.

Think about you rejoicing, prospering, succeeding during hard times and evil times.

Think about having plenty as you walk with God while those trusting in man and this world are in a famine.

Do you see that just because the people of this world are going through hard times doesn’t mean that you have to go through hard times?

Now, I’m not saying that Christians (Millionaires For Jesus) will never face difficulties or unpleasant circumstances. But I am saying that when you are trusting in God, you are no longer at the mercy of this world, its people, or its systems.

When you are trusting in God, you are connected to God Almighty who CANNOT fail. Anything that you face, you KNOW that God will bring you through it and when its done, you are going to be in a better position than you were before the unpleasant situation arose.

As I heard one person say about the story of Job in the Bible, “God gave him DOUBLE for his TROUBLE”.

So now, step back and ask yourself, “Do you think God has any concern or worry over the current economic situation?”

The answer is obviously, “Absolutely NOT!”

And you shouldn’t either.

Which one of these thinking patterns is yours?

If you watched, read, or listened to the news today, what did you hear?

If you are like most people, it was just NOISE. Occasionally, something in the news is remarkable enough that people will comment about it or express an opinion about it to their co-workers, friends, or family. And usually, their comments and opinions are negative and/or judgmental. And then they go on with their lives the same as before.

If you heard co-workers, customers, friends, family, or any person for that matter complain or gripe about something today, what did you do?

If you are like most people, you just say, that’s old so-and-so blowing off steam. Maybe, you even agreed with them and added a little more griping and complaining to the mix. But then, you went on about your business – the same as before.

Millionaires For Jesus on the other hand, think quite differently.

Every bit of information or stimuli that comes into their life, they are thinking about it in terms of their KEABA (see previous posts) and how they might capitalize on the information or stimuli.

They take all of the negativity of information or stimuli and try to figure out how they can turn it into a positive, fruitful, profitable, situation or scenario.

Consider this verse in 2 Corinthians 9:11: “Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

Interesting verse isn’t it?

Obviously, God wants us to be ENRICHED in everything that comes across our path. And, the result He is looking for out of your life and mine is BOUNTIFULNESS.

Why does He want this?

Once again (just as we have seen many times already in previous posts) God wants His name glorified and His Kingdom expanded.

So going back to our first question… if you watched, read, or listened to the news today, were you thinking ENRICHMENT and BOUNTIFULNESS?

Or was you thinking something else?

When you heard that person griping and complaining, were you thinking about how you could find or create a solution that was ENRICHING and BOUNTIFUL?

Or were you thinking something else?

Something to think about, isn’t it?

Where Are They Going?

Let’s imagine for a moment that you and your family decide that you are going to take a little 4-day weekend get-away trip. Further, let’s imagine that you are already a Millionaire For Jesus and so money is not a problem.

What is the first thing that you and your family would start thinking about?

If you are like most people, you would start by asking yourselves “where do we want to go?”

Now, let’s imagine that as you and your family are trying to decide where you want to go, some salesperson barges in and starts trying to sell you a car by telling you all about the wheels, the engine, the interior, the dimensions, the specifications, etc.

Do you care about a car at this point? Of course not! And, you sure don’t care about all of the details of this car.

You don’t care because you are trying to figure out and decide where you are going for your weekend get-away – not how you are going to get there. And in fact, even when you do start thinking about how you are going to get there, the details about the car (or whatever form of transportation you choose to use) really does not matter to you.

The fact is, you are focused on where you are going and the enjoyment you are going to experience when you get there.

Guess what. Those people to whom you want to sell your KEABA are going somewhere. And, they are focused on what it’s going to be like when they get there. They are not focused on the details of the vehicle that is going to take them there.

Now, this fabricated example may seem a bit absurd but it is exactly what so many salespeople do day in and day out. They barge into their marketplace touting all of their details and specifications and they never even think about where it is that their marketplace is really trying to get to. And they wonder why doors get slammed in their face and why they have such a hard time selling.

You want to take a different approach – a much easier approach. When you go to offer your KEABA to your marketplace, start by asking them questions about where they are going and what they are looking for when they get there. Then, you will be able to position your KEABA in terms that relate to them and that are important to them.

Can you see how your sales success will be much higher?

But let’s not forget about the SRS Formula we talked about in the previous post.

Here’s a question for you… Would one weekend get-away be enough to last you for the rest of your life?

If you are like most people, the answer is emphatically NO!

Is it possible that even as our imaginary family was planning their weekend get-away that we could together start sketching some rough plans for the next get-away? Of course it is.

So, all the while you are talking with your marketplace about where they are going, you should also be planting the seeds of them using you to help them get to where they are going after they get to where they are going right now.

On an ongoing basis, your marketplace is going somewhere. Use your KEABA to help them get there – again and again!

Don’t Have Your Livelihood Depending Upon A Job

Let’s pretend for just a moment that you are one of the few “lucky” people who are in a good, high-paying job. Consider these real examples …

You are a man who has fully paid medical and dental benefits, 3 weeks paid vacation every year plus an additional 1 week of paid personal time off plus many other benefits. Your work is easy. In fact, on a hard day, you might work the equivalent of 5 hours and most days you work far less – even though you are paid for a full 8 hours. For all of this, you are paid $45 per hour which is almost $94,000 a year. What do you do in this “cushy” job? You drive a fork-lift in a unionized automotive plant.

Sound like the kind of job you would like to have?

In another company, things are really “humming’! Business is good, employees are performing, and customers are happy. Business is so good in fact that every executive on the executive team has had their base salary automatically increased to $1,000,000 per year. In addition, every employee has had their salary increased to 25% – 50% over the current market rate.

Think you would like to be in a situation like this?

There is only one problem with these “ideal” situations. They aren’t sustainable nor are they repeatable.

In the case of the fork-lift driver, he worked at this job for several years – long enough for him and his family to expand (and over-extend) their lifestyle to $94,000+ per year – and then the automotive plant had a mass layoff.

10 years later, this man and his family are still trying to recover from financial ruin.

In the case of the “humming” company, everything went fine for a few years until some things happened that were outside of the control of this company and its employees and in a matter of a few months this company went from “high on the hog” to shut down.

6+ years later, these people are still trying to recover from the disaster of losing their high-paying jobs.

Again, the “perfect” job is nearly impossible to find and when you do find one, they usually don’t last very long.

Think about it. Who else is going to pay you almost $94,000 a year to drive a fork-lift? Who else is going to pay you 25% – 50% above market rate for your job?

But what if you are in an average business getting paid average wages?

Take a hard look at yourself and those around you. Are you and those around you really performing? Are you really adding value? Are you really contributing to the profits of the company?

If you are an average employee in an average company, the truth is that you and those around you are performing at about ½ to ¾ of your potential. This means that you and those around you are over-paid.

And, when you see a business that is full of under-performing and over-paid employees, you are seeing a business that is going to “pay the piper” sooner or later. It’s not a question of “if” it’s a question of “when”.

God isn’t interested in you being in a model where your livelihood is at risk and in jeopardy. As a Christian, you need to be in a different business model. That’s our next discussion…

Here’s the kind of seller you want to be…

Think about all of the “sellers” that you encounter over the course of a week – whether in your place of business, in other people’s businesses, on the radio or TV, or wherever it is that you encounter them.

Are they really trying to help you?

Or, are they trying to convince you and others to buy their next “knick-knack” or “gadget” that has fleeting usefulness and value?

This is not the kind of seller you want to be. Here’s the kind of seller you want to be:

  • Romans 12:10 – “Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love.” With a heart full of care, sell as if you were selling to your brother. As a Christian, you obviously wouldn’t sell anything to your brother that didn’t have lasting value and usefulness.
  • Romans 13:10 – “Love worketh no ill to his neighbour.” Never sell anything from which you would gain but your customer would not.
  • 1 Peter 1:22 – “See that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently.” We are to love God, ourselves, and others. When we do, then we are only interested in true win-win situations – situations where you, your customer and God’s Kingdom are benefited on a long-term basis. When you sell in this kind of a model, your success is sure to come.
  • 1 John 3:18 – “Let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” You aren’t looking to “slick-talk” customers into doing business with you. You are looking to demonstrate that you care about them and that you are able to offer them something of lasting usefulness and value.
  • Mark 10:21 – “Then Jesus beholding him loved him.” In Mark 10, we see the story of Jesus trying to “sell” a rich man on becoming a Millionaire For Jesus instead of a millionaire for himself. As Jesus goes to “close” the sale, He looks upon his “customer” and He “loved him”. When you are selling, make sure that you love your customers and your sincerity will come shining through.

A Millionaire For Jesus is a SELLER who LOVES and HELPS people.

Here’s How To Make Sure Your Business Wins…

Was God competing with some other entity when He created the Heavens and the Earth?

Of course not! If anything, He was “competing with Himself”. We see this because He looked at it and saw that “it was very good” (Genesis 1:31).

In the same vein, if you are to become Millionaires For Jesus, you must move away from “competing with others” (like the world does) and you must start focusing on “competing with yourself”.

What does this mean?

It means that as you bring your KEABA (see previous posts) to the market place:

  1. You aren’t worrying about the competition
  2. You are really focused on a deep understanding of the What, Why, When, Where, and How of people who are interested in your KEABA
  3. You are focused on how you can provide more and better products and services to those who are interested in your KEABA – the kinds of products and services that makes things better for them in their world
  4. You are focused on how you can make it easier, better, faster, cheaper, etc. for those who are interested in your KEABA to do business with you
  5. You go back to the top of this list and start all over striving to become even better than before

You see, when you are worrying about the competition and you are competing with the competition, you move into a world where everyone is playing “copy-cat”. You move into a world where everyone is playing “leap-frog”. You are in a competitive world.

In the competitive world, this week, month, or year someone else is the best. So, you go copy everything they are doing plus a little more and you “leap-frog” them for this week, month, or year. Then, they copy what you’ve done and add a little more, and they “leap-frog” you.

This week, month, or year, you have more of the customers. Next week, month, or year, they have more of the customers. And, the cycle continues.

Obviously, you can never really win in this kind of a model.

And, there’s another key problem with the competitive model – you are primarily focused on what your “competition” is doing.

But, when you DO the things listed in the bulleted list above, you step out of the world of “competing” and into the world of “creating”. This is important because when you start “creating”, you are able to create your own “game” with your own “rules” – all designed so that you and those who are interested in your KEABA win.

In the “creative” model, your focus is entirely upon those who are interested in your KEABA – and that’s where it should be. In this “creative” model, no one will ever be able to touch you – because this is “your” game and they are in a different game.

Do You Chase Money Or Does It Come To You?

II Corinthians 9:8 says, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work”.

This is a familiar verse to most Christians but yet many people don’t get the full significance of it. So, let’s ask ourselves some questions:

  • Is there anyone or anything higher ranking than God?
  • When God is going to “make” something happen, can anyone or anything stop it?
  • Three times the word “all” is used in this verse…how much do you think God wants you to have?
  • When something “abounds” is their scarcity or lack?
  • When something is coming “toward” you, do you have to chase it or try to “catch” it?

We know that God is the Almighty, the Supreme Being, the Highest Authority, the Top Commander and it’s Him that is making and directing goodness for every area of our lives to come to us in abundance.

But there is a catch…

And it’s contained in the phrase “is able”. That let’s us know that there is a condition. This let’s us know that there is a responsibility on both our part and on God’s part. This lets us know that when we do our part, THEN and only THEN is He able to do His part.

So, what’s our part?

The answer can be found in Proverbs 24:4, “By knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

This lets us know that when we develop and expand our knowledge (see KEABA in previous posts) then God will make all abundance flow towards us in every area of our lives.

But, He doesn’t just poor abundance upon us for no reason. He pours His abundance upon us for a very specific reason… so that we are in a position to “abound to every good work”.

As a Millionaire For Jesus, can you see yourself abounding unto every good work?

I hope so because James 4:3 makes it clear to us that if we want abundance for the sole purpose of “consuming it upon our own lusts and desires” then God will not give us of His abundance.

God wants to teach you to profit…

Isaiah 49:18 shows Gods support for our success…

Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.”

Here are the key points that I see:

  1. The Lord is the one who leads us in the way we should go
  2. The Lord wants us to profit. Profits lead to wealth
  3. The Lord’s path gives us opportunities to use our God-given wealth to promote and expand His Kingdom
  4. If you are going through a difficult situation right now, it is an important part of your future success and profitability
  5. God wants to teach us. Are we willing to learn? Do we devote time to learning?

Do you know what God has pleasure in? Find out here…

Psalms 35:27 gives us this picture of God’s perspective towards us…

Let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.”

I see three important points in this scripture:

1. You should SAY it continually
2. God is pleased when you are prosperous
3. God should be magnified in your prosperity

The one thing you’ve never been taught that is your Christian duty…

Stay with me on this one for just a moment…

In Ephesians chapter 4, the apostle Paul teaches us how we are to live as Christians.

He teaches us that we are not to give place to the devil. He teaches us to get rid of bad language. He teaches us to put away bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour, evil speaking and malice.

He teaches us that we are to walk in righteousness and holiness. He teaches us to be kind to one another, tenderhearted, and to forgive one another.

And everyone knows all of this. But, there is one more thing that he teaches in this setting of scripture that most people either don’t see, don’t understand, or just ignore and that is,

“let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.”

This scripture points out three things:

  1. Get to work
  2. Creating good things
  3. So that you have more than you need so that you are able to give to those in need

Can you see that it is God’s will for you to have the financial ability to do a work in His Kingdom?

A Daily Affirmation…

Psalms 23:1 says “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want”

When are you going to start really believing down deep in your heart of hearts that the Lord is your shepherd?

When you really believe and trust in the Lord, you’ll not lack for any good thing.

  1. You’ll not lack for money
  2. You’ll not lack for health,
  3. You’ll not lack for companionship
  4. You’ll not lack for friendship
  5. You’ll not lack for opportunities
  6. You’ll not lack for respect from others

You’ll not lack for anything that God deems good for you.

Do you find yourself lacking in any of these areas? Then here’s what you need to know…

Psalms 66:12 says, “but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.”

So start affirming to yourself multiple times every day, “Because the Lord is my shepherd, I don’t want for anything and the Lord is bringing me into an even wealthier place.”

Now, I’m not at all suggesting a Christian doesn’t have to go through challenges, difficulties, or tests because they certainly do…and to think otherwise is both foolish and non-Biblical.  But, I AM asserting from experience that God ALWAYS intends for his people to PASS THROUGH unpleasant situations, conditions, and circumstances to His blessed, happy, healthy, and wealthy victory and abundant life.
