In real life, some people
think I have billions and millions of cash because of what I am doing with my
life. The secret is most of the things I do emanate from the wisdom the Holy
Spirit has invested in me, and I have shared some of these wisdom keys in my articles and books.
If money is the only asset
needed to advance in life, I don’t think I would have reached this level. The
Holy Spirit gives me the knowledge to do certain things in life, and I do my
best to share some of the wisdom keys He reveals to me in ministry.
According to the
Institute of Statistics, Social and Economic Research Center in the University
of Ghana, about 120,000 people graduate from the tertiary institution every
year. Out of these 120,000 people, only 10% get employment.
This means out of 120,000
tertiary graduates; only 12,000 people get employment in the public and private
sectors. I am using my country (Ghana) as a case study because that is my place
of birth.
Considering my neighboring
country (Nigeria), which tops the whole of Africa in terms of population, they
also face a huge percentage of unemployment. The truth is, unemployment is
everywhere.
Both developed (high
gross domestic product) and developing (low gross domestic product) countries
face the challenge of unemployment, but the developing countries have a higher
percentage of unemployment.
One of the main reasons
we face unemployment is bad leadership. Most leaders in developing countries have
a weak leadership system. There is no system to check and avoid bribery and
corruption.
The gap between the rich
and poor in developing countries is alarming. Most politicians and leaders in
developing countries only care about themselves and their families. Developing
countries' politicians and leaders must repent and create strong security
systems to check and eliminate bribery and corruption.
If the leadership puts
into place a strong system that checks and eliminates bribery and corruption,
the unemployment rate will reduce to the lowest level. Most often, wild animals
such as lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, and others are kept in cages so that
people can observe them in zoos.
The animals might look
harmless to you because of the cage. If the zookeeper opens the cage, you will
feel and understand the wickedness of these wild animals. In this case, the
cages are systems to check the wickedness of the wild animals.
In the same way, we can
create cages (systems) to check and eliminate corruption in various leadership
so that the corrupt leaders and politicians (symbol of the wild animals in the
cages) will not destroy the economy.
Corruption is in every
country. In fact, the most educated people are the most intelligent thieves in
life. The difference between the developed and developing countries is the strong
security systems working in the leadership.
Do you think the leaders
in developed countries are not corrupt? If you think the leaders in the
developed countries are not corrupt, then you are ignorant. I believe the leaders in the
developed countries are more corrupt than those in the developing countries.
The only thing that
protects the developed countries is the strong systems they have created to
check and eliminate corruption. If common sense teaches us to lock criminals in
prisons, what stops us from creating security systems to prevent corruption in various
leadership.
In every developing
country, you will find rich people. The same applies in developed countries. In
every developed country, you will find poor people. The difference is that
developed countries have many wealthy citizens.
When you come to
developing countries, we have few rich people, so most often, people use national
prosperity to judge the wealth of a nation. Doing that is a great mistake
because national prosperity is different from individual prosperity.
Money is a currency, and
it flows from one place to another. Money exchange hands daily. We use money as
a medium to exchange products and services. Money is printed paper accepted by
the law court.
In summary, money is
legal tender accepted by the law enforcement agent in a country. Money is made
up of wood. The Federal Reserve, international banks, and state banks can print
them in abundance to regulate the economy.
Some religious people
also believe that money is spiritual. Money is simply a currency legally
accepted by law enforcement agencies to transact business. You must work to
earn money in life, and without employment, you cannot get money to pay your debt
and rent.
We need money to satisfy
our needs and wants. We need money to develop the country. Money helps in daily
lives because, without money, you cannot buy land, a house, a car, and assets
in life.
Without money, you cannot
expand your business and church infrastructures. A country with a higher
unemployment rate has greater records of social vices such as arm robbery, harlotry,
war, and all sorts of immoral behaviors.
As I stated that poor
leadership is one of the leading causes of unemployment, I also realize that a flawed
educational system can lead to unemployment. Let’s face the truth; you cannot
travel from Ghana to Australia using a donkey.
You might die on the way
because the donkey will get tired and hungry. Even if the donkey does not get
tired, you will become tired, hungry, and fall off. Boats, horses, and donkeys
were the central transport system in the olden days.
Today, these transport
systems are not needed for long-distance because of cars, airplanes, trains,
and advanced ships. The developing countries are still using horses and donkeys
in the educational system; meanwhile, the donkey’s era is no more working.
The educational system in
most developing countries is outdated, and we must change it! Imagine traveling
from Ghana to Argentina with a donkey; what do you think will happen to the
rider and the donkey?
That is how most
developing country's educational systems are operating. Most of the things we
learn in schools are theories. The lessons provided by the educational bodies
in most developing countries are outmoded.
It is no more relevant in
this century! The schools are only training the students for jobs meanwhile the
jobs are not available. We must upgrade and restructure our educational system,
or else we will keep producing jobless graduates in the country.
Formal education is good
because it helps one be disciplined, but our system is outdated. It is time we
study the current educational system of successful countries and apply them. We
must introduce practical entrepreneurship courses in the schools.
We must build more
technical and vocational institutions and fill these schools with the best accessories.
It is time we engage more in technology because that is one of the reigning
systems in the world.
Why should a country keep
producing thousands of jobless graduates every year? This is a financial loss
to the state. If we change the educational system, life will become better. Life
will be smooth if we create strong and strict systems to check and eliminate
corruption in all leadership centers.
There is no way a cat
will spare a mouse if it crosses its path. It doesn’t matter the innocence of
the cat; it will harm the mouse when it crosses its path. That is the nature of
human beings. Human beings are naturally wicked.
The best way to prevent
the cat from harming the mouse is to cage the cat. The strong security systems
we create will prevent corrupt leaders and politicians from stealing the nation’s
wealth. Another key to help break the chain of unemployment and depression is to
develop the habit of reading.
It is said that if you
want to hide something from an African, put it in a book. It might be true because
most Africans don’t love reading. Some Americans, Europeans, Asians, Australians,
and several continents do not love reading as well.
The statement Africans do
not love reading is a fallacy because I am an African (Ghanaian), and I love
reading. I know some Ghanaians and Nigerians that love reading. The fact that many
Africans do not love reading does not mean Africans in general dislike reading.
In life, every decision
we make most often emanate from our mind. Although there are several external
influences, our mind takes the lead in every decision we make. If you don’t
want to perish in life, become a voracious reader.
Fall in love with
relevant books that connect with your vision, assignment, and purpose in life.
Through books, you can discover your purpose in life. You can read my article
titled, how
to discover your purpose in life for more profound revelation.
Discovering your purpose
is one of the main success factors in life. After discovering your purpose, you
need the required wisdom to accomplish your purpose, and one of the best ways
to acquire knowledge is to become an avid reader.
Do you know that Apostle
Paul was a voracious reader? Apostle Paul did great works in God’s kingdom because
he loved books. In Hosea chapter four, verses six, God stated that His children
perish because of ignorance.
If you hate knowledge,
you cannot rise higher in life. Formal education is good but do not limit
yourself to only classroom books. Read relevant books about religion, money,
leadership, psychology, business, science, technology and apply the knowledge
within.
The best book I can
recommend to you is the Holy Bible because the words within are true. The golden
words within the Holy Bible will never expire because they are the foundation
of life. Spend your energy, money, and time on books that can transform you
into a better person.
Spending your time on unnecessary
things will limit you in life. Eliminate anything that holds you from advancing
in life because time lost cannot be regained. Today, technology has made it
easy to find and follow a mentor.
The trusted way to find a
faithful mentor is to fast and pray. The Holy Spirit can lead you to the right
mentor if you allow him in your life. You need a mentor to help you in the
journey of life because whatever you want to achieve in life, someone has
already achieved it.
Read the biographies of
your mentor(s). Read his books, listen to his audios, and watch his videos. If
the mentor has a website or a blog, check it out. To become successful in life,
you must build inner values because no one will be willing to connect with a
visionless vessel.
Even animals have
benefits. People take them into their homes for several reasons. They can
regulate your emotions. Animals such as cats and dogs serve as security. Cats
can eliminate snakes in your home.
Cats can also drive away negative
spirits. Dogs can protect you from thieves and evil people. What is your value?
What are your skills and talents.? Build your skills and values through
knowledge and training.
Do you think Elon Musk,
Mark Zuckerberg, Jezz Bezos, Warren Buffet, Aliko Dangote, David Oyedepo,
Shepherd Bushiri, and several successful people become prominent in life by
idleness? No! They did something with their lives.
Elon Musk (the richest
man on earth) is solving the problem of production and technology, and the
world is paying him. Mark Zuckerberg is solving the problem of technology
(Facebook now Meta), and the world is paying him.
Aliko Dangote is solving
the problem of production and trade, and the world is paying him. Jeff Bezos is
solving the issue of electronic commerce and production, and the world is
paying him. Think of any successful person; they are solving problems, and the
world is paying them.
Even Christian ministers
engage in businesses alongside their ministries. For example, Bishop David
Oyedepo has built two Universities in Nigeria. He has several companies and
schools. Learn everything about the business before venturing if you want to succeed.
Build yourself
emotionally, intellectually, psychologically, physically, and spiritually
before venturing into the business because money is not the only asset required
to fulfill the vision of God for your life.
Build yourself in the
chambers because you will need inner strength to stand the storms of life. Money is just a tool to expand your vision. Do you think
Usain Bolt, Lionel Messi, or any famous sports figures became world champions
without training?
These people dedicate
their time to training because they need that inner drive to complete the task
(business). Successful Christian ministers sacrificed their time and energy in
fasting and prayers before breaking the barriers of life.
I sacrifice my time, energy,
and money to write and publish my books and articles. I fast and often pray to
build my spiritual muscles. Although the Holy Spirit has anointed me to write, teach,
preach and prophesy, I discipline myself to utilize the spiritual gifts.
Maybe you have a business
plan, but you don’t have money to start it. You can use technology to start a
business. There are several ways to raise money to start your business. You can
reduce your expenses or cut down spending and save the money to reach the
startup capital threshold.
Decide to spend little money on
telecommunication airtime and internet bundle, food, rent, family, friends, transportation,
and clothes and save that money to start your business. If you want uncommon practical
business ideas, link
up.
Save a percentage of your
hard-earned money in financial institutions. Venture into the business when you
get the amount needed to start it. You can sell some of your expensive assets
and use the money to start a business.
I know some people who
use expensive phones and several electronic gadgets, yet they complain about
money. Why don’t you sell that phone, car, house, land, and asset of yours to start
a business?
Family and friends, too,
are a great way to get money to start your business. You can also convince
investors with your business ideas, and they will give you the required funds
to start your business.
I will not advise that
you take loans from banks because their interest rate can be huge, especially
if the interest is compounded on the principal monthly. Most banks demand
collateral before giving out loans to start or expand your business.
Be careful with loans
when venturing into business. I recommend you engage in fasting and prayers
because all things are possible with God. God can touch the heart of someone to
invest in your business.
Pray for the favor of men
because Christ Jesus grew in favor of men and God. You need the favor of God
and men to progress in life. Live in the holiness of Christ Jesus and build a
consistent prayer life because the enemy will fight your progress.
With Christ Jesus on your
side and the wisdom keys provided, you will break barriers and advance in life.
