You are welcome to another interesting Bible articles on Money Making Secrets from The Bible. I have been discussing under the money making category of this blog what I called “How to Become Rich Playing The Asking game”. I showed through the help of the Holy Spirit how King Solomon played the asking game to complete God’s temple.

Today, I will be beaming the searchlight on our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. He played the asking game on two great occasions in the Bible. I want you to read the following 2 Bible verses:

“…saying unto them, Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you shall find a donkey tied… And if any man says anything unto you, you shall say, The Lord has need of them; and immediately he will send them.” Mathew 21:2-3 (KJ2000).

“…And He said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto them, The teacher says, my time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples” Mathew 26:18 (KJ2000).

From the above Bible verses, Jesus asked for some things to achieve His aims. One mysterious angle to His style of playing the asking game was that He was so sure the owners of those materials would not refuse His requests – He knew they would play the game just the way He wanted it!

You can make your asking game to be very effective if you ensure the second party has something to benefit from your game. I do not have to tell you that Jesus knew that those second parties would benefit immensely from the His use of their properties. Therefore, Jesus knew this and those other second parties also knew. There is therefore a great chance they would release their properties for Jesus’ use.

Let me however remind you that if you are not a Christian, you will not be able to play the asking game so beautifully as Jesus did. Walking in this great reality will be a mirage if you are not hooked to the one who is the source of knowledge and wisdom – JESUS CHRIST. Please accept Jesus into your life today as your personal Lord and Savior. You will never regret you did. Let me read your comments and questions.

Thanks for visiting this blog today. The last time, I started a series under the Money Making Secrets from the Bible Section on this blog where I taught how you can become rich by playing the “asking game”.

Today, I want to give you examples of Bible personalities who actually played the “asking game’ very well and made themselves rich in the process.

Solomon

“And Solomon sent to Huram the king of tyre, saying, as you deal with my father, and did send him cedars to build him a house to dwell in, even so deal with me…send me now therefore a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze… and that has skill to engrave with the men that are with me in Judah…” 2 Chronicles 2:3,7 (KJ 2000).

The Bible passage above describes how King Solomon played out the “asking game” when he was about to start the building of the house of the Lord. This was simply a joint venture (JV) proposal. A joint venture is a business term that is used to describe how two different business entities have come together to do business with both sides profiting greatly from the business deals.

I want you to understand that a JV deal will not start if one of the parties did not take the initiative to ask for it. King Solomon needed experts and he asked for them and stated in clear terms the benefits for the other party (see 2 Chronicles 2:10)!

Have you ever taught of asking for a JV from a second party in your business? If you have not, a Bible passage and personality has just shown you the way forward today.

I will share more examples next time I post on this blog.

Wait! This Is Important

I want you to understand that King Solomon was able to figure out how he can enter into a JV for the temple project because God was with him. He had a heart for God and God inspired him to figure this out. You will be able to figure out these types strategies in your business if you are a Christian.

If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ and you are reading this, I want you to confess Him now as your Lord and Savior. Please do this and let me read from you. Visit http://www.sesanoguntade.com/contact.html to send a mail to me or just drop your comments on this blog. Thanks. Jesus is Lord!

“Speak now in the ears of the people and let every man request of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold” Exodus 11:2 (KJ2000).

I want to describe today a moneymaking secret from the Bible and I will believe it will go along way to make s of you richer and happier.

I have quoted Exodus 11:2 above and it is the express instruction of God to the children of Israel when it was time for them to leave the land of Egypt. God had settled it in His earth to bless them or make them richer as they left Egypt. God is however not a magician, If His children must be richer, then they must be ready to do the “asking game”.

God instructed them, “Speak now in the ears of the people…”. They must ask to receive. Anyone who fails to ask will not receive.

I am not surprised Jesus, during the sermon on the mount (Matthew 7: 7) says, “Ask, and it shall be given you …”. The riches and wealth belongs to the askers. If you are not asking, you are not getting!

Now how many asking have you done in your business or in your lifetime? If you have a product, you need to ask the public to buy from you. If you have an idea, you need to be bold to ask investors to invest in your ideas if you cannot fund it yourself. If you need God’s help, you need to be bold to ask Him to help you.

Therefore, begin to do more of the “asking game” and get ready to become richer and richer.

Next week, I will give you examples of people in the Bible who profited immensely when they played the “asking game”.   

Important Note

Now I want you to know that your ability to make good use of this money making secret from the Bible will depend on whether you have Jesus as your Lord and Savior or not. If you have not confessed Him yet as  as your Savior, you can take a decision today to do that. Confess Him now as your Lord and Savior and things will take a new turn in your life!

Welcome to another teachings about Jesus Christ on this blog today. Last week, I discussed the first part of “How to Carry the Jesus Burden” and I promised to continue this week. I am going to be providing answers (to the glory of God) to 2 important questions on this topic today.

• Jesus asks you and I in Matthew 11:28-30 to cast off a form of burden and put on His own burden. He also says, His own burden is light. Now why does Jesus have a light burden?

• How do you carry the Jesus burden successfully in your journey on this earth?

Let me go straight to answer these questions:

Why Is Jesus Burden Light?

Jesus says in John 15:5b, “… without Me you can do nothing”. Jesus knew that at Calvary, He had made Himself to carry every burden that can make you and I to be unfruitful. Therefore, if you have Him as your Lord and Savior, you don’t have any heavy burden to carry again. He has the whole of it on Himself already so what you have left, as a Christian is a light burden.

However, if you are outside Jesus, you are making yourself to carry the heavy burden, which can really make you fail. I am not surprised He says, “…without ME, you can do nothing”

Now to the second question.

How Do You Carry The Jesus Burden?

Yes, I have shown you that the Jesus burden is light but you still have to carry it anyway. I have seen people who have not done very well carrying even this light burden. Infact, I must say many of us (Christians) have not done very well carrying this burden.

Let me show you from Matthew 11:29 the only thing it will cost you to carry the Jesus light burden:

“Take my yoke upon you, and Learn of ME; for I’m lowly in heart…”

Can you see this “only thing” in the passage above? Jesus says LEARN OF ME: This is the simple thing you have to do on a continuous basis. You must learn from Jesus or let me call it complete obedience to the instructions as revealed to you from time to time and from His word, the Bible.

The Bible says in 1 Samuel 15: 22; “Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams”. Your success as a Christian will depend only on your ability to carry this light burden of Jesus successfully and the only way the Bible teaches you can do this is to seek instruction from God and make effort to obey.

Important Note

Now that you know that your ability to go successfully through life is when you make yourself carry the Light Burden of Jesus. If you don’t have Jesus as your Lord and Savior yet, you can take a decision today to do that. Confess Him now as your Lord and Savior and things will take a new turn in your life!

Let me read your comments and testimonies.

I am teaching to the glory of God one of the most profound teachings of Jesus Christ in Matthew 11: 28 – 30. In this teaching, He asked His listeners to leave a from of burden or yoke and carry another form of burden.

Let us read these verses in the The Living Bible version of the Bible:

“Come to me and i will give you rest – all you who work so hard beneath a heavy yoke. Wear my yoke – for it fits perfectly – and let me teach you. For I am gentle and humble and you will find rest for your souls; i give you only light burdens”

Interesting and revealing passage. Now Jesus is not telling you to cast off the first form of burden and remain burdenless all your life. No, He is not promising that! He saked you to do away with the first burden and pick up a second one – His very own burden!

My dear reader, you will never live a burden less life here on the earth!

There is however one great significant difference between the two forms of burdens. The second one (the JESUS Burden) is LIGHT.

Now why is His burden light and how can you carry the JESUS’ burdens successfully during your time here on this earth? I will answer these questions in my next post.

 You are welcome to another Bible success principles post on this page. Last week, I promised to continue that topic I titled “Don’t Stop Succeeding”. I read from the “Fig Tree” story in the Bible and I told you that Jesus actually cursed this Fig tree for an important reason. I will be discussing this great reason today.

“And seeing a Fig tree afar off having leaves, He came, if perhaps He might find  anything thereon: and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves: for the time of figs was not yet” Mark 11:13

Last week I quoted Matthew 21:18-22, which has this same fig tree story but did not give us a reason why the fig tree had no fruits on it. Mark 11:13 (quoted above) however has a reason and this is … “for the time of figs was not yet”.

Now if the fig tree does not have fruits because it was not the time of the season when it should have them, then why did Jesus curse it?

Well I wanted an answer to this and the Holy Spirit was just available to provide an answer to me. The simple reason is that Jesus would not tolerate a Christian who allows circumstances to make himself or herself unfruitful. He believes you and I can always have a success story to tell at every point in time no matter the obstacles confronting us.

Let me explain this principle in more terms that are practical. If you have written a book and you don’t have the cash to publish it, you can take a decision to sell it as a manual or as an e-book. You can even sell the idea to someone and go ahead to write another book and publish the new book with the money you made from the sale of the first book. Even if you can’t do any of the above, don’t just sit there crying over your inability to publish your book. You can take a decision to write more and more books and when the time to publish comes, you will just have enough books to publish and sell.

Remember I told you Jesus cursed the fig tree for not producing fruits even when it was not the season for figs. Jesus believes you and I must not have excuses to lay unproductive. There is always what you can do and profit from at every point in time no matter the obstacles confronting you. 

I hope you have learnt a great deal from this Bible success principle. Remember that the principles that I share on this blog will not do you any good if you are outside the ONE who is the source of these success secrets – JESUS. Please ask Jesus into your life today if you are yet to know HIM!

Sometimes ago as i was alone with my Bible in my room after i discovered i will yet again no longer be able to carry out my planned execution of a particulra project. I discovered a great Bible truths from  that will be of interest to you today.

Another dissapointment meant i have to lay idle for some months and if there is anything i hated with a passion, it is staying for a long time with nothing to do.

Well i was happy when i discovered this great truth from God’s word in the book of Mathew 21: 18-22 which tells me and you (Christians) why and how we have to keep on producing “success fruits”  even in the face of dissapointments that will want to make us unproductive at certain times.

The story came from the Fig Tree story. Do you remember the story? Jesus cursed this tree for a great reason. This reason is just the great reason why we must always produce fruits even in the face of great obstacles and dissapointments.

I will be revealing this truth in my next post and it can really encourage you to be productive at all times no matter the obstacles confronting you.

Please i want you to know that you cannot receive any gain from what you read on this blog if you are not a Christian. You should ask Jesus into your life today if you have not done that before. I did it many years ago and i have not regretted it one bit! Please go to God in prayer asking Jesus to become Lord and Savior over your life.

 “…and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided He among them all” Mark 6:41b

You are welcome to the final success article in this series that I started about three weeks ago – “How To Multiply Your Resources – The Jesus Way”. Let me summarize the first three step of multiplication that I have discussed below:

• You must gather whatever you have with you (it may be a skill, knowledge, money, or job etc).
• Put some form of organization into it – You should organize your resources. If it is a skill, you can package a service. If it is knowledge, then you may package a product or service. If it is money, you should look for what you can do with the money resources in your care.
• Thank God for it: This is a great stage – thank God for what you have gathered and organized.

Now let us go to the final step of multiplying your resources using Jesus principle as taught during the feeding of 5000 people in the Bible book of Mark 6.

It Is Distribution Time

Early 2010, when I did my 2009 self or business performance analysis, I noticed I did much of product creation and set up but little selling in 2009. So I took a decision to do more of selling in my business in 2010.

The first 3 steps will not bring you much result if you don’t carry out the last stage – to distribute what you have gathered and organized. Jesus carried out the first 3 steps and in Mark 6:41b began the distribution of His organized resources. He even appointed “distributors” (“… and He gave them to His disciples…”) to distribute.

The “multiplication miracle” came into place when He ordered the distribution. It is only when you rise to distribute or sell your organized resources that you can actually experience growth and profit in your business.

I hope you have enjoyed  this wonderful money making series about the teachings of Jesus Christ. If you have any comment, please drop it on this blog or write me at www.sesanoguntade.com.

Important Note

Let me however remind you that if you are not a Christian, you will not be able to walk in this great Christian reality. Please accept Jesus into your life today as your personal Lord and Savior. You will never regret you did. I took this decision a lot of years ago and I have never regretted my action. Please declare immediately as your Lord and Savior today if you have not done so before.

You are welcome to another success article on this blog. I hope you have enjoyed the series  on How You Can Multiply Your Resources Using The Jesus Principle” (as taught in the miracle of loaves where Jesus fed 5000 people with 5 loaves of bread and two fishes). Please if you are new on this blog, you can just check my previous posts on this topic.

Now let us go to the 3rd step in the series and it has to do with what Jesus did in the Bible passsgae below:

“And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves…” Mark 6:41

The third stage of multiplying your resources is a very important stage in the multiplication process. Now before i write further on this step, let me inform you that the God factor is the most important factor for any success aspiration. In John 15:5b, Jesus says, “…without Me, you can do nothing”. You cannot get anything done without Him! Don’t listen to those who say otherwise, they are only fooling you. 

Though the first two stgaes also require the God factor, this third stage will show how important this factor is. Let us look at how Jesus acted this stage in Mark 6:41.

1. He looked up to heaven.
2. He blessed (thanked) God for what they have.

How does this apply to you and I?

1. When you must have gathered what you have and put some form of organization into it, you should ensure you make the God factor the only factor that can give you success.Make this your only hope for success. Any trust in any other factor will end you in frustration. So, just like Jesus, your focus should be towards heaven!

2. Thank God even for the small, insignificant materials you were able to put togeter in the first two stages. This thanking game is a game you have to play regularly as you go through the four stages of multip[lication. When those obstacles come, learn to thank God for what you have acheived. This will go a long way to keep you going in the face of obstacles.

I hope you have learnt another great lesson today on this blog. All thanks to the Holy Spirit of God for revelations. He has been a nice Friend and Father to me.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The God factor is very important. You can not get this factor right if you are not connected to God through JESUS. Please give Jesus a trial and He will never dissapoint you. You will have the opportunity to get the best of God if you can confess Him today as your LORD and SAVIOR.
