The Farmer and the Golden Egg




God doesn't leave anyone empty. There are things we all possesses. They makes our lives richer, they gives us privileged or let me say they are an added advantages to us anywhere we go.

These are the things that make you different from others. As you are enjoying these things, you must be diligent enough to know them & take care of them.

Mensa Otabil said "Enjoyment is enjoyable, but enjoyment is not permanent." What you are enjoying now may likely leave if you don't celebrate & take care of it.

I heard the story of a young farmer & his goose. This story is best explain what I have for you today.

This young farmer had a goose in is farm but was poor & things were not going well for him. This young man prayed to God for financial support & somehow God heard his prayer by using his goose.

On the following day, his goose layed some eggs in his farm & among the eggs was a golden egg. While he was wondering what type of egg is this? He took the golden egg to the market & was surprised by what he heard. The golden egg brought him good fortune & settled all his bills.

On the following day, the goose layed another golden egg in his farm. For days this keep happening & the man was getting richer day by day through the golden egg.

As time goes by, he thought to himself & said "why should I be waiting every morning to have my golden egg deliver to me when I have the goose with me? I can have it all"

On the following day, he picked up the goose & cut it into two to have all the golden egg from its belly. Surprised! He couldn't found any golden egg in its belly. What a pity, he lost the goose & the golden egg.

The farmer lost the source of his wealth & his wealth. Thinking about this, I don't want you to become that man. I don't want you to lose your goose & your golden egg.

When you pray to God for financial breakthrough, He will not give you money directly. He won't! Forget about meeting someone throwing big money at you because of your prayer. Those ones happened when the Israelites were in the wilderness in the old testament when He gave them free things. That era has gone now. But He will give you an opportunity, an idea or a problem to solve.

Listen, if you don't take care of your goose, you will lose your golden egg. If you don't take care of your produce, you will lose your products. You must continually take care of that source where your products came from. Don't ignore the source in other to have more. You must continually improve your source & celebrate it.

Your source will continually delivered to you if you continue to take care of it. Your marriage, business, products, cars & all other possessions you have will continues to deliver to you as long as you recognize them & take care of them.  Things about them will gradually leave you if you failed to appreciate & take care of them.

Don't be like that farmer that lost his wealth & it's source because of gratification. Celebrate your success & take care of your source.

Mindset - The power of mind One of the best gifts God gave us as human is our ability to think & create thought within us. That ability is what makes us different from a mad person who has no thought of his/her own. So we can think & create any thoughts within. Research shows that people's responses to lives are formed & shaped from the inside & then ignite by what surrounds them. These shows that our minds is a powerful tools of transformation. Steve Maraboli said "Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it." This means that you can change your life with your mind. If you utilize that God given power of the mind, you can create a better life for yourself. Wrong mindset is like a killer instinct which is so powerful of making you to see impossibilities on many possible things. I look at the lives of those who sees evil in all things, I realized that there lives are always full of evils. Have you thought abo...

Desire and Decision

It's one thing to desire, it's another thing todecide & to follow what you desire. I've wasted opportunities in the past because of that small voice whispering to me "you are not good enough", "you can't do it" "you are not qualify" and so on like that. I yielded to those voices then & let those opportunities passed me by. I would have done it was what came to my mouth later. I urge you if you desire it, it pay to go for it. Life will not give you what you want, it will give you what you decided to have & pursue. That small voice echoing "I can't" in your mind can be replaced with "I can & I will". You won't know what you are capable of until you try. Try that business, try that idea, try that thing disturbing you. You have little or nothing to lose. Someone said "Easy decision produce hard life. Hard decision produce easy life". Which one do you want to produce? ...

You and your thoughts

I was minding my business one beautiful night when I heard a loud sound in my area. The transformer blew up and there was a blackout. My neighbors began to say that there would be no power supply till February. Meaning that we will not have electricity in the area for two months. Some said we were now into another power supply issue at the beginning of the year. Different people said all kind of negative statements because of what they heard and the way the power supply went off. Suprisingly, not even up to twenty minutes the "condemned" power supply returned and all of them who prophesied were speechless. This is exactly how many people live thier lives. Just because of the sound of a threat they hear, many run away and give up their dreams. Many concluded that it's over because of a big blow that happened to them in their business. I've been saying this and I will also say it again: "Life will always test your commitment and patience on anything you d...
