There is always money to be made. The problem is that one’s mind may be too dull to recognise it. The Holy Spirit may be attempting to direct your attention towards relationships, activities, and pursuits that could fatten your wallet, but nothing will happen because you can barely see, hear, or understand with your heart. Poverty and lack are never the result of external circumstances. While it may be easier to accumulate wealth in certain countries than others, you are ultimately responsible for your financial situation. Wealth creation starts with the mindset and attitude that we bring to the table. The first step is to become mentally wealthy.
Indeed, wealth creation begins in the mind. Just as Proverbs 24:3-4 advises, “By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.” This verse underscores the importance of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge in building a prosperous life. Without these qualities, opportunities for financial breakthrough may go unnoticed, and potential avenues for success may remain unexplored. Therefore, it is crucial to cultivate a mindset that seeks wisdom and understanding, enabling you to recognize and seize the opportunities that lead to abundance and prosperity.
Building on the theme of growth and learning, the story of Joseph from the Bible offers a powerful example of how knowledge and insight can uncover opportunities. Through his ability to interpret dreams, Joseph gained favor with Pharaoh and rose to a position of authority in Egypt. Not only did he foresee the impending famine, but he also devised a plan to store grain, positioning Egypt for prosperity during the crisis. Joseph’s story reminds us of the importance of developing our skills and perception to recognize opportunities, even in challenging circumstances. With the right mindset and understanding, you too can seize the opportunities that come your way.
