Watch your Wealth - Renewable Income

Renewable Income Written by D. Jonathan Fourie

Pro 8:18 Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness (uprightness in every area and relation, and right standing with God).

Opportunities are everywhere. Yesteryear passé of life is no more. People seek a fast passion driven life. Nothing is fast enough. It is as if something unseen chase and urge people to go faster, do things faster have answers and solutions faster at hand. And yet at the end it is like the wind, no one knows where it comes from and now one knows where it goes.

If you have done your homework, seen the opportunities in life, grasp the gap between the needs and wants of the society, you should have found a way to generate renewable income – the ultimate of all incomes – enduring wealth.

Permanent wealth means that you generate an income, if you are there or not. Your wisdom has leaded you to an income that can be enjoyed long after you have implemented it, for it continuously generate an income 24/7/365. What an awesome blessing from God. You don’t have to work to earn it, you just generate it – like the verse say ‘riches and respect are with me’. You have out performed yourself.

The biggest challenge however is to get a second and a third self generating income that will continue to bless you and your children. In generating enduring wealth, you have riches, honor wealth and righteousness. The King James Version says: Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

This is the ultimate in wealth. Lend yourself out to God, follow in His ways, shunt evil and you will find that true wealth is eternal, it is self sustainable as God Himself is the source of your wealth and it endures for ever. If you have found wisdom, love God and walk in His ways, you shall never be in want and lack nothing – forever. Poor lack need and in want shall not be in your vocabulary. Written by D.

Watch your Wealth - Embrace your situations

Embrace your situations Written by D. Jonathan Fourie

Heb 12:6 For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes.

Heb 12:7 You must submit to and endure [correction] for discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son is there whom his father does not [thus] train and correct and discipline?

In life we come across many situations, challenges and problems. Not one is there to brake or destroy you. Not even death in the family, relatives or just loved ones. Circumstances can not make or break you, it is your response to it that makes or breaks you.

In many situations you can make decisions as to how to resolve it, or how to turn it to be successful. Some of those situations however are too big for you to handle. As such you must submit yourself to God and seek His face for answers. All the time you will find that God want to teach you something. If you are open to hear and to see, you will find that the mountain before you has become nothing.

To realize that you have to become more in order to achieve more, you have to submit yourself to situations. In the humiliation of the circumstance you will find that you will triumph if you let yourself go and not hold fast to your principles and way of thinking. By employing your spirit to the correction for discipline of the Lord, you will sore above any situation or circumstance.

It is written, a man that is happy at work and happy at home is a perfect man. So it is also written, a man who submits to discipline is cherished and welcomed in the heart of God. Never fight or push away situations that comes your way, embrace them, change your mind and God will love you like a father loves his son. Yes I know it is sometimes hard and even heart broken where tears run like rivers and emotions run high, but embrace them – don’t go into silent mode – it has never and will never accomplish anything else but division.

Embrace what ever comes your way, disregard of how tough hard soft difficult rough or demolishing it is, – it makes you who you are! At the end it is the Potter that forms the clay in a shape that He wants it for a purpose that He defined. Be ready for change, submit yourself and embrace life as seen through the eyes of God. Be like water, the things in your way will determine your path forward. Written by D. Jonathan Fourie

Watch your Wealth - Unseen but Sure

Unseen but Sure Written by D. Jonathan Fourie

Rom 2:7 To those who by patient persistence in well-doing [springing from piety] seek [unseen but sure] glory and honor and [the eternal blessedness of] immortality, He will give eternal life.

Person-to-person yarn for something and that something is always in the future. It depends on that person what they yarn for, but normally it is tangible. Our legacy from God is not something in the far future, but it is right here right now.

Dreaming dreams is good for that is where castles come from. Castles are supposed to be in the air but their foundations must be on solid rock. If your dreams are not build on solid rock, it will fall by the wayside. It will break and crumble before every storm. That is where wisdom and understanding comes in.

Our inheritance is not something that we can earn or work for, but we need faith and believe that God will do what He said He will do. God said, as He did, that if we believe in Him we shall live for ever and have eternal life and shall never die – He means it.

The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the good news is that He is our Salvation. He indwells us, we are life, we are immortal, we have eternal life, we are the light of the world, and we are the salt of the earth if we by piety seek glory honor and immortality His promise is eternal life.

There is no glory if we have to die to get it. The promise of the Father is that He will give it. God is not man that He should lie. “Believe in God believe also in Me” Jesus said. By believing Jesus we do what God wants from us. In thát we shall live and have our well been.

This is an unseen but sure treasure. Meditate upon it, seek it with all your heart and mind and strength and think upon it day and night and the treasure of eternal life will hunt you down and find you and let you live. Written by D. Jonathan Fourie

Watch your Wealth - Health Wealth and Happiness

Health, Wealth and Happiness Written by D. Johanthan Fourie

3Jo 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Wealth as is happiness has never and will never be something that you can touch. Happiness is within. Wealth does not create happiness, but it adds to it. Everybody in the world can live without money, sometimes it is though very unpleasant as everybody wants to trade something for something and money is the means to it.

Money in itself means nothing. There is no value to money other than what you put to it. If I give a child a hundred dollars, it will mean a lot to that child, but if I give that same hundred dollars to someone that does not need it, it means nothing. It’s like a house, if you haven’t got one and someone gave you one, it wil be a blessing indeed, but if you already have ten houses or more it does not matter.

Money has no value other than what you want to add to it. Therefore money cannot create happiness and as such there is no value no wealth in having money. Money is a means to something. If I have money I can bless someone else with it other than myself and my family. If I bless someone with my money I create happiness from within. A happy person is a healthy person is a wealthy person.

No person in the world that is wealthy can be happy if they do not have health. There are just some things in life that money cannot buy, and health is one of them. Yes I know that people donate organs to help other people. Their reward is one of two, either gets paid for it or make the ultimate sacrifice and donate it as you die. What a sacrifice! Money does not create wealth as wealth is not just money. Money is not wealth as you can lose it as fast as you get it, money is not true happiness.

Divine wealth means a constant supply of that wealth and the only way to get that is from within. A skilful person can create a million dollars every day, a fool will never have a million dollars in a lifetime. Divine health and happiness comes from within. Your wealth health and happiness lay’s within your soul – your mind – it is a mindset – a lifestyle – live it – became it! It is not how much you have but what you do with what you have that matters.

Watch your Wealth - Invest in wisdom

Invest in wisdom Written by D. Jonathan Fourie

Pro 8:35 For whoever finds me [Wisdom] finds life and draws forth and obtains favor from the Lord.

A good investment is wisdom. Wisdom is not vied. Wisdom starts by reverently fearing the Lord. The ways of wisdom is like the ways of love – to wonderful for comprehension. At first seeking wisdom might seem foolishness, but at the end it will be vindicated.

A wise mans work will speak on his behalf and all that sees it will praise God, so will the foolish mans work speak on his behalf and people will laugh at him. The wisdom of the wise looks beyond the need of tomorrow, but the fool will eat (squander) all his earnings in one day. A good and wise man provides for his children’s children, up to the third generation.

Who does not want favor from the Lord? Exo 35:31 And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and wisdom, with intelligence and understanding, and with knowledge and all craftsmanship.

Psa 111:10 The reverent fear and worship of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom and skill [the preceding and the first essential, the prerequisite and the alphabet]; a good understanding, wisdom, and meaning have all those who do [the will of the Lord]. Their praise of Him endures forever.

Wisdom is not what you learn but in what you accept. Radical thinking has proven that the laws defined by others can be broken time and time again. As limitation is accepted so is freedom. Wealth comes when the norm in wisdom as we know it is no more applicable.

An example of wisdom is this, someone build the chess game and the empre of China was so impressed with the game that he wanted to reward the man. To honor him the man could wish what he wants, so the man said he wants one rice grain for each block on the bord accumulating. The empre thought he was a fool, but seeing that it was his wish he granted it. It end up that there were not enough rice in the whole of China to honor the man’s wish.

Pro 19:8 He who gains Wisdom loves his own life; he who keeps understanding shall prosper and find good. Written by D. Jonathan Fourie

Watch your Wealth - Only Compete with Yourself

Only Compete with Yourself Written by D. Jonathan Fourie

2Ti 4:7 I have fought the good (worthy, honorable, and noble) fight, I have finished the race, I have kept (firmly held) the faith.

Many a time people when achieving a remarkable whatever, you will never hear the rough and the tough of what they went through. Their sights were set to achieve a specific goal.

In their struggle to achieve their goal, there is no room for competition as to compete with someone or against someone. The quest that you have is for yourself. Nothing is more rewarding than to achieve what you have set out to achieve in the first place.

Competition is good, but in a race where nobody knows what you race against, is hard to imagine. Only you know what you are capable of and what you can achieve. Only you know what your strengths and weaknesses are. Only you know how far you can push yourself. But always remember, that in any competition, the body will always try to quite – never believe him – the mind says differently.

What man can think of, man can create. What man can imagine, man can make. Somewhere it is written that, as a man think on his bed comes the morning he will do it. Be wise in what you think, for your actions will broadcast the thoughts of your heart and mind.

Pro 16:9 A man's mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure.

Competition with others will make you focus on your ability to achieve what others achieve. This is not the purpose of life. It is not a good investment! A good investment is to outperform your self time and time again. Remember, the glory is the Lords. A good investment is to build on your own success and drive it forward until you have achieved the ultimate perfection in your own eyes – until you see what the Lord have in stalled for you, and then you strive towards that – and reach it! Remember the wind never waits for the tree to bend. Written by D. Jonathan Fourie

Watch your Wealth - Break up your uncultivated land

Break up your uncultivated land Written by D. Jonathan Fourie

Hos 10:12 Sow for yourselves according to righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God); reap according to mercy and loving-kindness. Break up your uncultivated ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, to inquire for and of Him, and to require His favor, till He comes and teaches you righteousness and rains His righteous gift of salvation upon you.

When you sow, be it love, words, actions, money, thoughts, food, cloths or whatever, you will reap in mercy and loving-kindness. In this the bible teaches us that the result of our sowing is that God will bring in our harvest. It is by His mercy and His loving-kindness that we will reap a harvest.

There is however one thing that we need to do and that is to explore areas in our live that we have not touched yet. Break up our uncultivated ground. Step out of your comfort zone and explore around you. Make sure that you have not been there before and sow in that area and God will make sure that you will reap accordingly. Procrastination is a thief of time. Compete

Delve into the depths off your mind and find the answers and solutions to circumstances around you. The answer you are looking for is within you. Go into places that you have never been before and explore as to how you can get ideas to create wealth. Bring answers to problems long overdue by breaking up those uncultivated areas.

Search, explore and bring out of you the good godly nature of God and create wealth by being the answer to problems. Be the solution to situations and create wealth by solving other people’s problems. See opportunities where they do not exist and create wealth – you have the ability – just do it.

If you struggle in your search, be sure to seek the Lord and inquire for and of Him and require His favor of it. Continuously make sure that it is the Lord that gets the glory and honor and praise, for it is His mercy and loving-kindness that will bring you the answers that you are looking for. He will teach you righteousness and rains His righteous gift of salvation upon you. Written by D. Jonathan Fourie
