WORD HOUR: How to Command Money in Spite of the Economy- Rev. Sam Adeyemi


Reverend Sam Adeyemi was sharing some deep truths recently, and I felt I could share my note with you on some deep things he shared about his personal life. Please read on:
“You may have been born into a poor family like I was and you are wondering if you can ever be successful or wealthy. Probably you are thinking the environment is somehow getting tougher, the cost of living is on the increase and your income is not catching up with your expenses at all. Maybe you’re bleeding.
“You see, it was not easy for me too until I started digging deep. I went on a research to find out how to become wealthy. So, I started reading wide and listening to teachings of successful people all over the world.
“Till date, I am still bombarding my mind with information that will help me make progress in every area of my life and I urge you to do the same. I will never forget my first visit to the city of Lagos, Nigeria many years ago. Oh my goodness! Lagosians can hurry so much, they could knock you down, honestly! At that time, I was residing in Kwara State which is relatively a quiet city compared to Lagos, the commercial nerve of the country. Most striking was the fact that despite the wealth in this city, there were still poor people as at that time.
“You see, back then I couldn’t comprehend how people could suffer lack in the midst of plenty. I marvelled at this a lot. But over the years, I have come to understand the economics of money. There will always be money in circulation but the choices you make determine how much of it you possess. Don’t get things twisted, money is never scarce; it only changes hands from one person to another and it is our choice which side of the divide we really belong.
It is no longer news that our naira has crashed, the price of fuel too is dipping low by the day and as it is, there is even scarcity of fuel within the country. People are losing their jobs, disposable income is also shrinking and many are still unemployed.
However, do not allow the current economic crisis make you think there is no money anywhere; nothing could be farther from the truth than that. It is everywhere! Like I said earlier, money only changes hands. Those who can see beyond the crisis and can position themselves strategically will handle the money.
“Money is a convertible resource that is offered in exchange for value, once you have value, and you offer your quality value to people, you will get the money no matter the economic downturn. How do you add value? From the richness of the information that you acquire and consume. What you learn determines what you earn! Please note that!
As someone who has crossed from struggling into financial stability, I can assure you of that. Go ahead and add value, even as we journey through this fresh month, God bless!”
