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 - Invest in wisdom
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
