The major secret of billionaires is
their ability to find solutions to the challenges of humanity. All of them
created solutions that brought the billions. Presently, Bill Gates is spending
millions of dollars in search of renewable energy. By the time he finds one and
become a major player in the electricity industry, we will say he is lucky. But
we forget that he didn't pray for financial breakthrough, he only found a
solution to a global problem.
Wealthy people don't necessarily
look for money, they create solutions, and money will follow them! Larry Page
and Sergey Brin went all out to help humanity find things faster on the
internet, and billions of dollars followed them. Mark Zuckerberg created
platforms for socialization, and over $71 billion followed him. Steve Jobs and
Steve Wozniak went all out to reduce the size of computer. What problems are
you solving for humanity?
Some people spend weeks on the
mountain praying for financial breakthrough without knowing what to do to be
rich. They just want to be rich anyhow. It doesn't work that way. Real wealth
comes through solving problems. Real wealth comes when we take a critical look
around us, see the challenges that surround us, and proffer solutions to
them.
One of the major reasons why
millions of Africans live below the poverty line is our belief that magic wands
will suddenly mint money for us. How many cups of mustard seeds did Mark
Zuckerberg eat that made him an 'instant' billionaire? How many bottles of
anointing oil did Jeff Bezos drink that turned him into an overnight owner of
Amazon? I'm not belittling prayer, but most of us pray amiss.
This is how potential billionaires
pray: "Dear Lord, Nigeria has electricity problem and I want to solve it.
Lord, baptize me with fresh ideas on how to solve this problem, and connect me
to the right partners to make it happen. Thank you Lord." God will
definitely download creative ideas into their minds.
Unfortunately, this is how majority
of us pray: "Oh Lord, I command anyone who said that I will not prosper to
collapse and die by fire!" Another person will say: "Lord, I need
financial favour. I need divine connections. I need financial breakthrough
urgently. Lord send money to me today." When God listen to our prayers
sometimes, I believe He will look down from the balcony of heaven and wonder
why we failed to understand that wealth creation opportunities surround
us.
Dear friend, it is time to change
your thinking and prayer pattern. Stop looking for shortcut to the top, start
looking for the problems you can solve for humanity. Money is actually a reward
for solving problems for people. Keep soaring!
