BELIEVED THAT KEEPS PEOPLE POOR



 I was once talking with a dear elder and she told me how someone who didn't know her, back in the day, made her an unbelievable offer...

She was a cloth seller and needed to buy more materials but didn't have the capital. So she prayed and went to Balogun market and met one big cloth merchant. She told her her challenge and told her she wanted to take some materials but didn't have the money to pay her.

The big merchant laughed and told her that she could take as much material as she wanted, sell and return her money when she was through.

She couldn't believe her ears -- God had answered her prayers.

She took a lot of materials and left. Being the woman of integrity that she was and STILL is, she went back to give the merchant part payment once she made some sales.

The merchant laughed at her again and told her she didn't have the heart for business; that she was too fearful. The merchant told her that she had returned the money too soon. She (the merchant) had expected her to leverage the money with other merchants and get a wider variety of cloths in her shop.

But this dear lady didn't just have the heart for it and guess what?

She did her best to sell off the first stock the merchant lady gave her, returned the merchant's money and decided NEVER to return to carry more materials.

I asked her why she did that even though the merchant was willing to give her 20 times more materials on credit. Her answer...

She was afraid of taking so much on credit. Her thinking was...

What if something happens?

What if...?

...All negative things.

She couldn't focus on the positive side of things.

She could have been a billionaire by the time she was telling me this but instead she was depending on her children to take care of her.

Why am I so sure she could have become a billionaire if she had the heart?

I know someone else in her circle who got a similar offer and became a billionaire.

Are you afraid of the opportunity God has sent your way? Think about it and if you decide you want to take a leap of faith, you can join us here before the offer ends...
