How to Practically Become Resourceful and Profitable in the Storms

 

Loved one in Christ Jesus, I believe you are growing in the strength of the Lord. One thing I have realized in life is that if you solely depend on the compliment of others for recognition and self-value, you will always feel inferior.

Value yourself as Christ Jesus sees you. You are God’s child. Christ Jesus lives in you. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords is your Father. If you always depend on the opinions of others, their bad compliments and destructive criticism will paralyze your dignity and self-worth.

You can read my book, How to Break the spirit of Inferiority, for more profound revelations. If you don’t refrain from unprofitable activities, you will lose in the long run. Spending precious time watching long seasonal movies and playing time-consuming electronic games will hijack your value and growth. 

The devil steals from you because he employs you to focus on things that will corrupt your soul and waste your time. Instead of focusing on something that will add value to your life, you will be spending your time-wasting resources on materials that will generate liabilities in the long run. Know these truths.

 

• Spending your precious time listening to songs that will add no positive value to your life is a seed of the enemy.
• Reading books that will add no positive value to your life is a weapon of the enemy.
• Spending your time with friends who have no vision for their lives is a destructive seed of the enemy.
• Spending precious time on the internet doing nothing profitable that add eternal and fruitful value to your life and the world is a weapon of the enemy.
• Spending all your time and energy on the body is a waste of time because the body has an expiry date.
• Spend time building your mind with resourceful materials because every decision you make emanates from your mind.

Focus on things that will add resourceful value to your life and the world. The more you spend quality time building your mind; you create assets for the future and those connected to you. If your mind is full of invaluable ideas, you cannot advance in life.

It is not a curse; it one of the laws governing the earth. If there is nothing valuable in your mind, you make unprofitable decisions. The world will see you as a liability if you have nothing substantial and profitable to give.

Spending all your time and energy on perishable things and things that will bring you no profit is a waste of resources. You may enjoy the temporal fun, but in the long run, you will lose. You must change your mindset and start working on yourself.

Spend your time, money and energy on things that will bring you a positive change to the world and generate profit. If your spending exceeds your revenue, it doesn't matter how much money you receive; you cannot build a happy future.

Poverty will set in if you spend all your resources on materials that take money from you. Spend your resources on materials that will generate profit. Apply wisdom with your resources, and you will increase productivity.

In my life, I spend my time, energy and resources on things that add values to the plans God has set for me. I spend my time building the gifts God has deposited in me. My time will not permit me to watch long hours of movies and do unnecessary things.

I sacrifice my time to do extra things in the middle of the night because time is short. Train your body and mind to work beyond the normal working hours, and you will do extraordinary things. At the initial stage, your body will fight you, press on, and your body and mind will adjust to your daily activities. This is one of my favourite verses in the holy scriptures.

 

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 KJV

Solomon, the wise man, declares that whatever (not evil things) we find ourselves doing, we should put in all our efforts, strength, resources, and energy. Sometimes you hear some people say, proud people are ambitious.

The truth is, proud people are lazy. In the book of John chapter nine, verses four, Christ Jesus declared that “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.”

Christ Jesus understood the power of time management, so He did not joke with His time. A time came Christ Jesus's earthly parents searched for Him. The earthly parents of Christ Jesus were sorrowful because they thought Christ was lost.

 

And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

Luke 2:46-49 KJV

At the age of twelve, Joseph and Mary thought Jesus was immature to be alone. When they found Christ Jesus, Jesus replied, “How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

If Christ Jesus started pursuing His purpose at the age of twelve, what stops you from pursuing God’s assignment for your life? Don’t allow your age to limit you because Christ Jesus did not allow His age to limit Him.

I strongly believe Jesus the Christ pursued His purpose below the age of twelve. Our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus was in the temple discussing the Holy Scriptures with religious people. You must realize in life that your good works will follow you when you depart from this world (earth realm).

Whatever God has called you to do, do it from your heart. God will reward you if you fulfil your assignment (See Revelation 14:13, 2 Timothy 4:7-8). We will not work in the Celestial City because it is a place of eternal joy.

Christ Jesus birth was supernatural. Joseph and Mary did not have sexual intercourse before Mary conceived Jesus. Mary did not fornicate with any man before she conceived Jesus. Mary was a virgin when the Holy Spirit breathed the seed of Christ Jesus into her womb.

Christ Jesus was divine and human. He did not joke with His time and purpose. At age twelve, He was pursuing His purpose. God wants you to pursue your assignment. Stop procrastinating because you are growing old.

In your old age, you cannot do certain things because your strength will fail you. Christ Jesus called young men as His disciples. Respond to God’s call in your young and youthful stage because it is at this age that you can work with all you might.

If unbelievers can sacrifice their time, energy and resources on ungodly projects and evil business, why can’t you spend quality time and resources pursuing God’s assignment for your life?

Build yourself if you have discovered your purpose in life and do it with all your energy because time waits for no man.  In my books, Spiritual Keys for life, Spiritual Codes, and Spiritual Laws, I have enumerated some keys you can use to unlock your purpose.

If you are lazy, you cannot fulfil God’s purpose for your life. You can be the most anointed and knowledgeable person in life; if you are carnal and lazy, you will not climb higher. The length at which God wants to take you will be little if you always allow the desires of the flesh to dominate you.

It takes hardwork, consistency, sacrifice, and discipline to utilizes the gifts God has invested in you. I sacrifice my time to write my books and articles because I have discovered it is one of my gifts.

Sometimes I become discouraged and tired, but I focus on God’s strength through prayer, knowledge, and action. As the Holy Scriptures declares,

 

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 KJV

Don’t joke with your daily activities because whatever you sacrifice your time, energy and resource on, it becomes your seed (Habit). Have you realized that sportsmen and women spend quality time training?

Usain bolt did not become the world champion in foot racing because he was a Jamaican. He spent quality time training. Every star in his field spends quality time training, reading and building themselves in their chambers.

Have you realized that farmers spend quality time on the seed they plant in the soil? The more you spend time watering (acquiring knowledge, training yourself, learning from successful mentors), the seed (gifts and anointing) expands.

As you keep protecting (praying) the seed from weeds (destructive criticism, enemies, and satanic arrows), the seed grows to become a giant tree. The seed will start generating more fruits because you invested all your resources (time, money, and energy).

I have discovered my purpose, so I invest all my resources into it. I don't joke with my time because time lost cannot be regained. When it comes to prayer, I invest my time to fast and pray for God’s intervention.

When it comes to evangelism, I preach and teach with all my heart. When it comes to writing, I discipline myself and write because time is an asset. I must complete everything God has assigned for me with all my energy because that is what the Holy Scriptures commands (See Ecclesiastes 9:10).

If I must sacrifice my time, money, energy and resources to complete the task, I will do it no matter the cost. If the Holy Spirit has anointed me to win souls, write books and articles, I will do it with all my strength.

I will allow nobody to stop me from fulfilling the plans of God in my life. None of the destructive criticism and negative opinions will stop me from fulfilling God’s plan for my life. If you want to fulfil God’s assignment for your life, be relentless.

I don't solely depend on the compliment of others to pursue God’s purpose for my life. I don’t depend on the compliment of others to determine my value. I see myself as Christ Jesus sees me. My value is in Christ Jesus because He is my Creator.

I make friends with people who agree with God's vision for my life. I labour in the day and night to fulfil God's plan for life because the Holy Scriptures declares, “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.”

If you focus on what God has called you to do, you will make progress. Nothing can stop you if you discover and pursue the gifts God have deposited you. At the initial stage, no one will support you.

Acquire relevant knowledge and connect with people ahead of you. Learn from their mistakes and apply the resourceful knowledge you acquire in books. Keep moving because you are a work in progress.

God is working on your character, personality and heart. God is training you for the harvest. Connect with godly people that agree with your godly vision and take action. If the unbelievers are passionate about their ungodly ambitions, what stops you from the godly ambition God has placed in your heart?
