’And the lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward, for all the Land which thou seest, to thee will I give it’’. (four source of income). In this ever changing world there is a need to have more than one source of income because you cannot tell what might go wrong with one source. If you have more than one source there would be nothing to fear about since the money has another inlet. The rich and wealthy know the usefulness of that and that’s why they get richer even in a harsh economy. You should have at least four different sources of income, each source representing one cardinal point. East, west, north and south.
‘’and a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads’’. Take note ‘’four heads’’ this means your source of income should be at least from four different source. ‘’the name of the first river is Pison, the second is Gihon, the third is Heddeekel, and the fourth Euphrates. Someone rightly said ‘’The scriptures is no religious book, but a wealth creation manual’’. People live in want because they don’t understand how important it is to invest in four different sectors. The limited purpose checking account should be about 70% of you income, that’s for day to day expenses.
The untouchable saving account should be 10% of what you earn. This 10% goes into this account until you reach a comfortable level savings and then you can use it for other things. The slush fund account, about 10% of your money should go into the slush fun. Vacation, luxury item and other want are under this category. Finally we have the investment clearing account. 10% goes in there.
A Wealthy Babylonian gave a talk on how men became wealthy. He told a large group of people who wandered the secret behind his wealth. He started with the phrase ‘’multiple stream of income’’. Then the lecture began. I was so inquisitive on how to become wealthy, could there be something they were doing I was not doing? Could there be a secret they were exposed to but is hidden from me? This question became a burden to me and I couldn’t barely give an answer to that. One day I met a rich man as you have met me , but he requested something in return If I must know the secret and so we reached a deal, it was to make a sculpture of him and the man who told him the secret. That was no problem because I was a porter and in plain text that was my job. The conversation was going on smoothly when everything went sour. he said he wanted it the next day. How could that be? I asked angrily. ‘’it is an urgency’’ he said. ‘’why so urgent’’? I retorted. He would not answer me rather he gave a caustic reply ‘’ it’s non of your business, I give you two full days. It’s either you do as I have said or remain poor’’. ‘’two days it shall be’’ I concluded. But how the hell was I to do that, was it possible to make a carve of two giant sculptures of about six feet high and three feet wide I thought. ‘’ it’s impossible. No, nothing is impossible’’. I restructured my statement because I had been told the tongue can either make or break a man . this task would involve more carve hands and forty eight hours marathon of no sleep of which I had no choice. He came on the morning of the third day and I was proud because I had fulfilled my own part of the bargain, now it was his turn. But I became furious when he smiled and said ‘’ I don’t need that, keep it in remembrance of me and the man who exposed me to the secret which I will now tell you. I wanted to see your level of enthusiasm in what you want’’. He threw out a friendly shake but I wouldn’t accept. ‘’you must accept my hand for a shake if I must tell you’’. ‘’don’t start again’’ I replied. ‘’Good things don’t come easy, and by the way what’s the difficulty in a hand shake?’’. He threw out his hands again and I accepted it though far against my will, but if that is all it takes to change my financial destiny why not. And he told me all I needed to know. I have decided to ho
ld nothing back else I forever remain an ingrate. I will not subject you to a sleepless night either, with the fact I had tasted the unpleasantries that came with it. Nevertheless you must promise me one. No two things, that the secret will groom not less than a score of men into millionaires and you will teach the secrets to all who desire to become wealthy. Investment is the answer, you must spread your tentacles, do not repeat your fathers mistake. Make a survey on the kind of investment you would like to go into before putting your money into it and in no time you will become wealthy.
