THE NECESSITY OF THINKING IN BUSINESS

We have many hard workers but poor thinkers. We don’t have the problem of money in our nation we have the problem of thinking. You don’t need to start a business, it is the thoughts you start first. Your business can’t expand more than your thought level. Any businessman that is not a thinker his business will sink. 

 Bill Gates’ business is thinking, you call it software but that is his thoughts.

Business is serving people and profit second. You can’t build what you don’t know how to start. 

Diligence means to be business-minded. Diligence means hard work, right work and wise work. A person that uses his brains looks as if he is a very lazy person but he runs with his mind.

A mind that is imprisoned is worse than an imprisoned person. When you stop reasoning you stop rising. We live in a thinker’s world. World thinkers are world rulers.  When you become born again whatever is limiting your thinking is removed. Think wild!!!!!!

EVANGELISM - THE HEARTBEAT OF GOD

 To lead others to Jesus, you must first learn to follow Him. Preaching the gospel is a must because contrary to popular opinion not everybody has the heard the gospel. The gospel is not doctrine, the gospel is power. The reason some folks don’t believe in missions is that the brand of religion they have isn’t worth propagating. Motive does not matter as long as the gospel is preached. Preaching of the Gospel only ends when the trump of God shall sound and we all rise to meet Him in the air.

“If you found a cure for cancer, wouldn’t it be inconceivable to hide it from the rest of mankind? How much more inconceivable to keep silent the cure from the eternal wages of death.” – Dave Davidson.

“The greatest missionary is the bible in the mother tongue. It needs no furlough and is never considered a foreigner.” – William Cameron Townsend. What’s also interesting is that throughout history the first uses of other technologies have almost always included the propagation of the gospel. For example, the printing of the first bible on the Gutenberg press – 1455. Thank God for Christian pioneers in music, radio, theatre, television and cinema. It seems that some Christians want to shun new technologies as opposed to embracing them.

“If you cannot preach, give. If you cannot give, distribute tracts. If you cannot distribute tracts talk to your friends.” – George Washington. “We talk of the second coming, half of the world has never heard of the first.” – Oswald J. smith. “We are not to make men converts of our opinions. But we are to make them disciples of Jesus.” – Oswald Chambers

When Andrew brought Peter to JESUS. He brought through Peter 3000 souls on the day of Pentecost; and when Edward Kimball brought Moody to JESUS, he brought, through Moody a million people to the saviour. One single person is worth it all, but infinite possibilities are wrapped up in every human life.

To think of civilising men without converting them to Christ is about as wise as to think about transforming wolves into lambs merely by washing them and putting them on a fleece of wool. One faithful witness is worth a thousand mute professors of religion. “Tell the students to give up their small ambitions and come eastward to preach the gospel of Christ.” – Francis Xavier.

A poor man needs the gospel and not money, because poverty is the absence of information. The reason why the gospel is not preached is because of the poverty of some Christians. One Commentator says "The rich man saw the reason of not becoming a Christian because of lazarous." LOL!!!!

EDUCATION THE GREATEST RIGHT AND WEAPON OF A YOUTH

Youth is not a barrier for God. The foundation of every state is the education of its youth – Diogenes. Education does not mean competence. Education is a wonderful thing.
 If you think education is expensive, try ignorance - Derek Bok. If you couldn’t sign your name you would have to pay cash – Rita Mae Brown. 






Exceptional students should expect envy, even persecution from their colleagues, and sometimes teachers. You don’t need to like to read but you have to read for academic success.

You can be a third class student in university and be a first class citizen. A first class student is only able to give back to the teacher what he was taught. A third class student he may have failed because, he decided to think differently and people who make a difference must think different.

 








If you don’t train today you are setting a trap for tomorrow. Training is not permitted to do what you like but what is right. 

This dispensation of time requires you to be multi-skilled. We must simply adopt the idea that we all need at least two careers that can serve us. 



Of course, for some people, it means that they either need to study for another degree different from their first. For others, it means going for further higher degrees such as master’s degree or a doctorate.

GIVING THE SECRET TO ABUNDANCE

Giving is the only way to prove the sincerity of your love. If you are not a giver you are a beggar, there are no two ways about it. Giving is living just like breathing is life . When you are tired of breathing you give up on life. When you are tired of giving you give up on breakthrough. Give God what’s right – not what’s left. We should understand that he who gives to the poor lends to God.

Tithe is supernatural insurance. Learn to give! Let your heart be as big as the whole world! Live to give.

Again and again, throughout the holy word of God, we see that most of everything we receive from lord begins with our giving! God Himself began the whole plan of our salvation by giving (john 3:16). And even to receive this greatest gift, we have to give him our hearts! We, the children of God are blessed! Always remember: our source, our economy is never tied to this old world! Isaac sowed in famine and received a hundredfold crop in the same year! Remember King Solomon! He gave God the largest offering ever in the face of his greatest need – and God made the richest king in all of Israel and the world!

And the five billion dollar temple was built! Now is the time to plant in your ministry! It’s all through the word of God – “give and you will get” (Luke 6:38)!

Did you ever wonder just how Jesus supported His ministry as well as 12 men and their families? Luke 8:3 gives us a glimpse behind the scenes as mostly the women gave their means (or money) to support Jesus and His disciples! “Joanna, Chuza’s wife (Chuza was King Herod’s business manager and was in charge of his palace and domestic affairs), Susanna and many others who were contributing from their private means to the support of Jesus and His disciples” – Luke 8:3. We are encouraged to give to our ministries with a good motive and right spirit and God will see to it that we are rewarded!  

Glorious truths that hold yet another key to your need! The tithe “opens the windows of heaven.” And the “first fruits” offering brings the glorious increase! It could be your first pay on that new job or simply new money or new goods of any kind that God supplies to us in many ways. Did you know that institutions also need to pay tithes because tithe is not received by church but by Christ?
