INVESTING OR SPENDING

I have tried to consider a man's lifetime on the earth with relation to a day. Everyone of us has 24 hours each day but we certainly do not use it the same way. However, two things lie in common when we think critically about it. We either spend the 24 hours or we invest. A man intending to do business with a particular amount of money as his capital can choose to either spend it or invest it as his primary intention, so it is with time. just anyone can choose to spend or invest HIS 24 hours. Wow! Did you see that? His 24 hours. Meaning each day you have a total of 24 hours in your life account. Quiet a benefit right? Like a child in a faraway place receiving a monthly allowance from the parent has a choice to spend or invest all that he has received. Now, if he chooses to spend, very soon he will beg, go hungry and might end up stealing. 

Wait a minute! What is spending and investing?

Investment is time, energy, or matter spent in the hope of future benefits actualized within a specified date or time frame.

Spending can be seen as paying money without realizing any benefit.

I think that makes it all clear now. 

Ok, now that each day you have 24 hours, what next? the poor man's day starts at the same time as that of the richest man you believe that? 12:00 am the day starts and it equally ends at 11:59 pm for both of them. But why is it that one is poor and the other has it all. An African will tell you that the poor man is under a spell.

Imagine yourself trying to withdraw hundreds of thousands of dollars from your account when all you have is less than a thousand. Insanity! But a lot are on this road, trying to get out of life what they did not put in. Out of the 24 hours they are trusted with, 16 hours spent on pleasure and leisure, the rest 8 is for sleep. So, tell me, what do you expect for such a person?

The man that is poor was not born poor but he 'became poor' and the one who is rich 'became rich'. 

Dear reader, there is nothing like born with a particular status but we purposefully walk into the status we find ourselves though the choice might be consciously or unconsciously. Fredrick K.C Price said "If you fail it's your fault, if you succeed it is your fault". I believe that with all my life. With that I have come to understand that there is no excuse for failure. Nothing in life should make you to say because of that I could not make it when you have not first considered you input.

Beloved, know for sure that you will certainly find yourself somewhere and I want you to know that at least 75% is as a result of how you use your daily 24 hour allocation. Understand that what you do each day accumulates into what will make your lifetime on the earth. There is no other parameter of measuring your lifetime than how you spend your days. Choose to sleep all day and allow your tomorrow to slip through your hands.

The Bible says they that sleep sleep in the night and one other day in my sleep I had an encounter were it was revealed to me that they that fight fight during the day. How interesting. At the time of your sleeping, will it be said of you, "He fought a good fight". Don't spend your fighting days rather invest them. It is you that will make your life count tomorrow by what you are doing. 

In this first part of this topic I will end here \. I know that you have got or two things that will to your life and future.

Be blessed forever! Much love.
