What does it cost to be a record breaker
a new record setter What does it cost
The Spiritual Cost Again the Kingdom of Heaven
is like unto a merchant man that is, a businessman
seeking goodly pearls "He desires to break forth
into another realm" who, when he found one
one pearl of great price went and sold all that he had
and bought it except the Lord build a house they
Labour in vain that builds it We need to be connected to source
for our needed helps you need to spend time with God
to develop yourself spiritually because your inheritance is
transferred to you through the revelation knowledge
of the truth He has given us all things
that we will ever require in our life and business
that pertains to life and godliness but they are delivered to us
through the knowledge of him who has called us unto glory
and virtue so your delivery is a function
of your insight Job was a man of depth
as it was in the days of my youth Job said
when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle I washed my feet
with butter and the rock poured me out
rivers of oil The secrets of God just guided me
into great exploits into great fortune
we need time to spend in prayers we need to invest time in the word
we are business people It has to be invested
we are not just spending it we are investing it
we are creating a future by that investment
recently I was saying to our people I said every prayer
you pray today is stored up
in heaven,for your needs tomorrow He said there are angels
in heaven who hold vials before the throne
which are the prayers of the saints so the fragrance of your
prayers today will still speak for you tomorrow
so you need time and there is no point
trying to confuse yourself you know, business and spiritual life
they are two seperate entities You are just one person
a spiritual man in business so you need to be connected
to your spiritual root in order to keep on bearing your fruit
so you need help from heaven
The insight of Job was his strength in
the day of trouble Most of the regrettable
investments you made they were not divinely guided
every divinely guided investment will yield maximum results
and when the Lord is your shepard you shall not want
goodness and mercy shall be following you
all the days of your life To be spritually minded is
life and peace and to be carnally minded is
death One of the greatest American business men
by name JC Penny JC Penny was taught by his mother
to have a quality walk with God and just like the story of
RG letourneau at a point he felt look
maybe we try the other side and everything came crashing down
until he came back on his feet with God and then God restored
his glory back in business God does not need you for anything
you need him for everything
The second cost in this context is what I have called the
Intellectual cost Knowledge is Power
as I have often said
To be Informed is to be Transformed
and to be Uninformed
is to be deformed
The more enlightened we are on any subject matter
The greater the Level of command we gain
My people are gone into captivity because they have no Knowledge
Isiah Chapter 5 vs 13
We need a working knowledge on any venture, we are embarking on
It is information that gives value to every vision
I Knew God told us to embark on Covenant University
That was great
But time was invested in searching and researching What kind of University are we heading for
So models were reviewed From a 1000 years plus behind to the present
Explorative studies of oxford of Yale of Harvard
were done with a deep sense of commitment and when we started
and tradition was trying to contend with the vision
I said STOP
I know what I saw When I see, what I saw
I will know
What I am seeing now, is not what I saw
(laughs)
So it is not just having the vision It is having adequate Information to drive
the vision
Information is the vehicle with which every vision is driven to it's
accomplishment
If you don't have it You don't have it
Intellectual cost That is where many people in the church crash
today
People are in business They don't know one thing about
It is so Important
Intellectual Cost That is why many businesses are short lived
That is why many businesses don't outlive their founders
They crash before the men themselves die
because there is no adequate Information to drive that vision
it has to crash
Isaiah 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability
of thy times and strength of salvation
Widom and Knowledge
They are stabilizers of Destiny
Every business is stabilized on
wisdom and knowledge
so Important
Any Business,You are in That is void of Intellectual Property
will be short lived
Any Business you are in that is void of adequate Intellectual Property
is sure to be short-lived
That is void of Intellectual Property is sure to be short-lived
The more enlightened we are on any subject matter
the greater level of command we gain
Success and sustainable success is guaranteed by access to quality Information
We are called to give attention to readings to exaltations and to doctrines
that our profiting may appear to all
A reader today and a leader tomorrow
A reader today and a leader tomorrow
It was Abraham Lincoln That said
You are the same person you are today in 5 years time, except for two things
The books you read and the companies you keep
The books you read and the companies you keep
Our lack of adequate Intellectual property is the reason for poverty
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge
He said give yourself to the things you find
that your profiting may appear to all
That your profiting may appear to all
After those readings that I had to go through in the process of building of Covenant University
I came with a conclusion that covenant University shall be a new generation
Harvard
I looked at it and was convinced in my heart that is the way we are going
and we are not just propagating traditional knowledge
We are committed to creating knowledge
that solves real life problems
we are not out to graduate people that will be seeking for Job
We are graduating Job creators
Ignorance is costly Don't toy with it
There is no mountain anywhere
every man's ignorance is his mountain The number three cost here
in our context what I've called physical cost
physical cost
high elasticity is a requirement for high perfomance
It takes hard work to fly high
hard workers are high flyers
every success story is traceable to high level investment of
time,energy and resources
say with me energy ENERGY
Investment of time energy and resources
energy you need energy
to maximize destiny
you need energy to maximize destiny
every success story is traceable to
high level investment of time, energy and resources
even christ said,
I must work the work of him that sent me
while it is day for the night cometh when no man can work
John 9: 4
high level energy is an all time requirement
for high level Performance
High level accomplishment
So everybody you see, they say
you know I'm just tired
I don't know I just feel like going to rest
every time he wants to rest five days a week he is resting
a little sleep a little slumber a little folding of the hands to sleep
he said, so shall thy poverty
every time you see poverty there just put failure
failure coming to that individual
Jesus said, how am I stretched until it be accomplished
every star is stretched to shine
Until you are stretched enough you cannot spread effectively
In all labour there is profit
but the talk of the lips tends only to penury
labour is one of your vital keys into a great future
God is not mocked
whatsoever a man sow that also shall he reap
the sluggard shall not sow by reason of the cold
therefore shall he beg in harvest and have nothing
so everyone that is not working will end up begging
Wealth gotten by vanity shall diminish
Wealth gotten by vanity shall diminish
but he that gathers by labour shall increase proverbs 13 vs 23
Wealth gotten by bribery and corruption shall vanish
but he that gathers by labour shall increase
great treasures are being unleashed
but it will take you selling off your comfort
Selling off your conveniences
selling off your traditions of I know it will work
whether I work or not
I know God will do it
whether I do what God has commanded me to do or not
these are all religious traps
that makes destiny to lose color
Solomon said
The glory and the color of your destiny
is in how much investment you are making
into the work of your hand today
Things only work for workers
There is no shortcut
so you have a three dimensional investment
spiritual,intellectual,and physical
most people think, all we inveest to make it great in business is money
so they are looking for money to invest
That's there
but without these three that one holds no value
it is this three fundamental cost
that give value to your financial resource investment
I'm not afraid of tomorrow because we are not where we are today by chance
if you are not building on principles you are heading for troubles
Go see Leah at 9
these are the principles of life
that would help you to press your battle
to the next level
you are either building on principles or you are heaping up rubbles
the choice is yours
Let's stop just talking it
let's start working it
what you don't work won't work
what you don't market wont sell
what you don't trade would be trashed
if you want to see true increases then begin to invest
along these three main channels and there shall be no end
to the increases of God in your life
It is time to prepare your work
in the field in the words of solomon
and make it fit for yourself and afterwards build your house
