MONEY MATTERS
FINANCIAL WEALTH
Origin and Necessity
It dawned on me once, that a lot of problems
and challenges that the world faces
are all due to money issues. Leaders in politics
and economics that are meant to lead
the countries to prosperity, care mostly
about their pockets than they do about
those that live in their countries. Economic
leaders will play with any country’s economic
growth drivers just so they can get the
results they want. Politicians will form associations
that lead to company formations so
they can get government projects directed
to their companies for benefit. Countries like
South Africa are passive income generators
for investors who care more about growing
their wealth than contributing to the country’s
economic growth. They get assistance
from the leaders in politics that use them to
form their own beneficial companies so they
can also grow their wealth. Who then suffers
from all of this? An ordinary person does.
In the early days, God created a nation
through Abraham, a nation that was to be a
recipient of His favour. Jesus came so God
could demonstrate to us how blessed we
are, if we could just be obedient and humble
ourselves before Him. The Israelites were also
favour recipients as a demonstration to all
those that existed back then, how generous
God can be to all those that are His. They
distributed land amongst themselves, land
that God allocated to them. The importance
of owning land wealth building is quite significant.
When you have land, you are able to
turn it into a commercial space and create
a business from it, any type of business. People
that are aware of this, when they buy
property they look for property in agricultural
zones where they can do whatever business
they want to do without the legalities and
regulations you find in a residential zone.
Even kingdoms would fight just so they could
take over land from each other. The bigger
the land you owned, meant the bigger your
kingdom.
