FOUR BELIEFS THAT ENSURE POVERTY

If there is any aim that cuts across the whole world, it is that of becoming financially independent. This makes the subject worthy of consideration. In my country, the harsh condition of things has increased the tempo at which people sing the money song exponentially. So, do not blame when I began thinking about why people in my country are so poor despite the much talk about money. I was surprised when I realized that the cause of enormous problem is first one single sentence. It is the fact that MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THE BELIEFS THAT INDUCE WEALTH.
This means that there are beliefs that induce wealth while there are beliefs that also induce poverty. With this in mind, I set out to find out which beliefs induce wealth and which beliefs induce poverty. My findings concerning the beliefs that induce poverty are what I am about sharing with you.

1. MAKING MONEY IS DIFFICULT IN NIGERIA .
   This is one of the most widely circulated false beliefs since the inception of this great country. Achieving wealth is the result of practicing some natural universal laws over a period. These laws are not location dependent. The problem is that most Nigerians do not search for knowledge, not to talk of utilizing it hence they remain poor. This means that making money in Nigeria is as easy as doing it in America if you practice these laws, instead of doing this, we blame the government and everyone else apart from ourselves. If we must change the status quo, we must change this belief and put our brains to full utilization.
2. DESIRING WEALTH IS BEING GREEDY.
   This is another blatant lie. Rather, not being wealthy by not using nature’s available resources is wastefulness and lack of use of your talent. I always pity the descendants of people who claim that all they want is enough to meet the basic needs of their families. This is because if you aim at the sky, you will reach the tallest tree.” They do not know that to ensure the comfort of their dependants, they need more than enough to meet the basic needs of their family. As such, they will become frustrated in their old age due to inability to meet their increasing and they would leave a legacy of unpaid bills, heart aches to mention a few to their children who were not party to their . In conclusion, I want us to take Evangelist Obey’s advice seriously. It says DO NOT BURY A TALENT, GOD WOULD INQUIRE OF YOU THE RESULTS. I want to state that this belief helps to safely bury your talents.
3. BEING WEALTHY TAKES YOU AWAY FROM GOD.
   I am always excited that our religious books have English versions. If not, some statements in them may never be fully understood. One of them is where the bible says “that the love of money is the root cause of all evils” NOT MONEY. Therefore, I sometimes wonder where my fellow citizens got the thought that money takes people from God “may be we should ask our spiritual fathers.” Rather, being poor makes it almost impossible to worship God because a poor man is always distracted by his numerous problems. Despite all the good promises of wealth in our holy books. People still view poverty as a form of spirituality. Walahi, if I were God. I will flog every poor man before opening the gates of heaven to them because they have caused my words to remain unfulfilled in their lives.
4. SOME ARE DESTINED TO BE WEALTHY WHILE SOME ARE NOT.
   This is a very serious hindrance to becoming wealthy because it stems from our culture and it is difficult to tell a man his cultural beliefs are wrong. However, this is the wrongest thing I have ever heard since I was born because almost all the rich people in the world now tell of times when they were in abject poverty and none of them has ever ascribed their wealth to destiny. Seriously, show me someone who became wealthy man, and I would show you a man whose destiny lies in hard work and dedication. Let’s assume for a second some were destined to be great while other were not, it should still not be a reason for poverty because the bible tells of a man who got fed up and cried to God for a change. I will like to end this part by saying in capital letters YOUR POVERTY IS 100% YOUR OWN FAULT.
   In conclusion, careful analysis has shown that these reasons tend towards poverty because they make good reasons to be poor. They make people so proud of poverty that they always speak and act vehemently against people who say otherwise. Some people reading this write up would hate or even curse me for it and by so doing never leave the poverty stage. If you want to make a change of heart to day, I say welcome to the land of potential wealthy men and women. In conclusion, YOU WILL NEVER TAKE STEP TOWARDS WEALTH UNTIL YOU ARE TIRED OF POVERTY AND ASHAMED OF IT.
