HOW CAN WE REALLY BE PROSPEROUS?

By getting what we like through hard work. You cannot get what you like just by wishing for it. Yung iba may mga wishes. Pero hindi dapat wish lang; dapat meron din tayong plan. What do I really want to happen one year from now, two years from now? So, you work hard, you invest, and you save. Also, we can receive our needs when we give to God, when we give to God’s workers, when we give to the needy. And we can really be prosperous when we become contented with what we have after we have done all of the above.

Huwag naman kayong makuntento agad, eh hindi pa ninyo ginagawa yung anim. Hindi pag nagta-trabaho, hindi pa nagsisikap, hindi pa nag-iinvest, hindi pa gumagawa ng mga tama, kuntento na agad. Kaya tuloy walang nangyayari, walang kaambi-ambisyon.  Nagiging miserable tuloy o pabigat sa iba. Kailangan nagsisikap tayo at ginagawa natin ang lahat. At matapos nating magawa ang lahat, kung ang naging bunga noon at kung anong meron tayo, we learn to be happy with it. Then we become prosperous.

Nobody can stop you from feeling prosperous. Maybe many people can stop you from being prosperous. Circumstances can stop you from being prosperous. But nothing can stop you from feeling prosperous, if you decide to feel that way. Meron nga lang kayong iniinom na tubig na medyo malamig, eh, feeling rich na kayo. Nobody can take that feeling away from you! What we are inside is what we will be outside. Prosperity is not always directly proportionate with what you’ve got. Prosperity is directly proportionate to your attitude towards what you have. In that case we are all equal; we can all be prosperous.

Let us thank the Lord for the personal prosperities that He has given us. Humingi din tayo ng guidance sa Kanya kung papaano mapapaasenso pa natin ang ating buhay. Nang sa gayon, mas marami naman ang matulungan natin, mas marami tayong magagawa, at makakaambag tayo sa pagpapaasenso ng ating bayan. The children of God should be productive and prosperous. Christians should aspire to be and work for nothing less.

From the Book:

Siksik, Liglig at Umaapaw.
