With these he started buying equipments and then he started all over again in another estate until his turnover in a month was over N100, 000.

He then stopped washing within the estates rented a shop at the heart of town, bought a truck and started bringing in clothes from about 50 families.

His new neighbors saw a track record of excellence and they started taking their clothes there…and then his turnover jumps from N100,000 to N800,000 and on and on,

There are Laws that govern the world which we can’t change,compete or contest with. It works irrespective of location, tribes, people, continents, seasons etc.
Some of the Laws are-

A, Law of sowing and reaping
B, Law of Gravity-what goes up, must come down.
C, Law of buying and selling

In life, we are either buying or selling .The world is a market place ,to be relevant and be fulfilled in Life everyone must come to the market place to trade or occupy with something. Because no individual have or known everything. Buying and selling must takes place, But we will be more happier and fulfilled about life when we are selling more than buy. To put it this way, the rich sells more than buying, while the poor buys more than selling. It is the poor than enrich the rich because they sells more than buying. 29 For the one who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. Matthew 25v29

The creator, God has blessed everyman according to different abilities with something to trade with, so nobody is empty. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.-Matthew 25:15-16

Our major assignment in Life is to discover what we are born to sell or trade with. Or else we will be occupying doing nothing or we will be helping others to sell what they are selling. Remember, your educational certificate might fail you, but what you are born to sell and deliver to your world will never fail you, because it is unique. People are ready to pay for what ever you are ready to sell it could be your ideas,abilities,skills,Talents,Knowledge and so on. See u next week.

Like the Israelites, against there will, they Labour for the Egyptians, Pharaoh keep them under bondage and slavery. God had to rescue the people because it was against what He originally Plan for man. He delivered the Israelites just to worship him and to set them free from bondage of Hard labour Job, because their Labouring job did not give them time to worship Him.

In our Present world, the same system is in place, we are told by our Parents to get a University Education degree and Look for a JOB, we need to break away from the Job mentality to Work mentality. Our Thinking have to change.Every one of us has a work to do. Work mentality encourages entrepreneurship. People with Job mentality Blame the economic situation, Leaders,Government, their boss etc. While people with work mentality take advantage of opportunities to implement their ideas.

As thousands of bankers lost their Job, it is a blessing in disguise as it will give some of them opportunities to discover their work. May God deliver us from the Job mentality? It is slavery. Are you doing a Job or a work?

How to break away from the Job Mentality.
