Those who are confident in their financial position in this current economic upheaval are to be consulted.I would ask them several questions. When did you know the crisis would occur? They would say, “When Nixon severed the US Dollar’s tie to Gold.” What’s the secret to sustained wealth when so many are losing their jobs and their homes? They would say, “Financial education, which leads to focused investments, like real estate, gold, silver, oil, and business. The key is to create a lasting system of cash flow, so you don’t have to rely upon your time to generate a paycheck. Money is made faster today than you can imagine. Finally, How does an average bear like me get started? Answer: “Don’t be average any more. You weren’t created to be average.”
Robert Kiyosoki has made a fortune educating folks on becoming financially free. It’s his passion and his thinking that has directly affected my own journey. One thing he mentioned captures the essence of wealth. He says that everyone has a “God-given talent” to bring to the table. The essence of wealth is not about making money so you can drive a nicer car; it really becomes, fulfilling your destiny within the Body of Christ.
Wealth is primarily a spiritual affect, like integrity and honor.
Kiyosoki was mentored by and frequently quotes his “rich dad”, the father of one of his childhood friends. The effect that Rich Dad had on Kiyosoki is immeasurable. Much wisdom and guidance was passed.
Who is your “rich dad”?
Mine is the Lord God, the creator and Owner of all creation. The US Dollar used to be a valuable “derivative” of our gold reserve. When someone pours their life into a New York Times best seller, they are creating a derivative of their life, work, and experience which yield royalties. In the business word, you make money by creating a marketable derivative of what you can sell and then selling it like crazy.
I am a derivative of God. I have come from Him and I belong to Him. In fact, he had to purchase me back after I rejected him via my sin. In the spiritual world, your words and actions reflect upon the character of God, since he is communicating his message of the Gospel through you, the derivative. I am a Wunderkind, to quote Alanis Morissette. I am part of the Royal Family of God. My children are a derivative of my wife and me. They are heirs of all my wealth, material and spiritual.
In fact, the wealth of my Father and Family knows no boundaries, because it is based upon spiritual power and love, the greatest commodities of all time. Wealth is not about money. It’s about the depth of your surrender to God and the generosity of your soul.
God created the world by speaking it into existence. Today, our banks are printing money out of thin-air. We will destroy our economy and the worlds if this foolishness doesn’t stop. However, how about these words for creating true spiritual wealth: Where your treasure is, that is where your heart is. Lay your treasure in heaven, where nothing can destroy it.
In other words, Seek First the Kingdom of God and All these things will be added unto you.
