A lot of you are failing to realise that you have to be in the right place to be relevant.
A 250,000 Naira wireless microphone is useless in the kitchen. A 50 Naira worth of salt is more useful. Take that same mic to a church or a studio and it would be treated as an egg.
People have so many resources but they are not using them reluctantly neither are they harnessing them efficiently. Worse is that they don’t even know that they have the resources even when the resources are staring them in the face. So they remain useless. And useless people are broke people.
Check what they are doing with the resources they have – smiling in front of the camera, taking selfies and posting for people to see all day. I know someone that such an act annoys so much.
Well, the resources that God gave you which can be time, talent, money, character and so much more, are you using them?
So you have something to show when God comes for return on investment? Everyone wants a return on investment even God.
God gave everyone talents according to their capacity. One person dodged his talent and gave it back to God the same way God gave it to him. No increase in value whatsoever.
A lot of us are asking God for 5 talents when we have not been effective and shown faithfulness with the one talent he gave us.
Banks don’t give you money to start a business, they give money to the person that has started a business and has numbers (profit) to show forth for it.
Trade: the systems put in place that leads to the exchange of goods and services for money such that at the end of the system, you have more resource capacity than you had before you started the trade.
Where resources = money or anything that can be converted to money.
A lot of you are hiding the talents God gave you, where,
Talent = resources that can be converted to money.
When you hide a talent, no one knows that you have it. Worse when you bury it in the ground.
That time you are using to watch BBN, series and troll the internet aimlessly, does it connote to trading the talent of time God gave you? Or does it connote hiring it in digital devices and TV?
Later you will pray to God for help.
Due Point: when water vapour changes to water because so much of it has done into a specific area. The area has so much pressure that it becomes saturated. Water droplets start forming. That’s the same with knowledge being practised and relearned.
You need to know and keep knowing better by practising what you know over and over again till what you know starts turning into a refined experience. Everyone doesn’t catch the revelation the first time. Repetition gives birth to mastery.
This commentary sort of goes hand in hand with something I say often about what separates the rich and the poor. The rich take advantage of the opportunities and the poor do not. But EVERYONE has the opportunity.
