We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy when others are fearful.
“Warren Buffet”
My husband stepped out of one of the tower buildings on London Wall last Friday and went to buya copy of the London Evening Standard from the newspaper stand. The 80 year old woman on thestand greeted him with a smile. My husband noticed her missing teeth bar one and nearly chokedfrom the cigarette smoke that billowed from her lips. The Headline read ‘Record Crash’, and heenquired what she thought.
‘ Seen it all before love, what goes up comes down , what is down can only go up’
Who needs the experts when there is such wisdom on the street? Who needs advice when it in allin the word?
The trouble with the bubble is the debt trap
“Greed”
I have been asked so many questions, lately on the financial upheaval. Should i sell my house?2.Should i rent my house?
3. Where should i put my money? 4. Is gold a better option? 4. I am in so much debt? 5. Thechurches just want money 6. Is this the Globe government coming into play?
The world’s system wants you to colour in between the lines. God’s kingdom wants you to colouroutside of the lines. Right now God wants you to rip loose and get out of this world system andreposition yourself yes that’s right reposition youself.
Banks have gone all belly up what do you hold onto? Well as a believer you have one great option tohold unto, what Jesus has already done for you to overcome John 16.33 Be of good cheer for i haveovercome the world. We have to remind ourselves in this hour that we have an inheritance in Christthat cannot go belly up, because the word of God will stand firm while this shaking is taking place.Yes it’s true you can now witness, how true this is . This was the case in last depression of USA thatmany great man and woman were repositioned to the forefront of the destinies. John D. Rockefellersaid highs and lows come and go but prosperity will come back. Well… true prosperity is acceptingwhat Jesus done for you on the cross; the return is a lot higher, then any bank can give you today.
I am exciting because the Spirit of God is moving two and fro seeking who heart is prefect s, those
who know their God will do exploits. This is the time to reprocess what God had has given you. Thedevil tries it on saying you can’t get out of this mess. You want bet you can.
Your thought life is key to overcoming this season, why because right believing is right living and asa man thinks so is he proverbs 23.7. It does not matter how dark this hour is. In the beginning therewas darkness and the world was void, God created destiny out of darkness, this is when God willgive you a word in your darkest hour, and destiny is birthed .Trouble cannot struggle your destiny.ah, yes you are about to break loose, from all the deceptive believes that you have been thinking,you are about to experience your break through. 2008 is a preparation for 2009, for you to carry theglory into you work place and family business and ministry like never before oh yes God is going tosurprise his people in this hour of the great awaking, that is taking place on earth there is going tobe new ways of doing seeing saying things, this financial collapse, is for you to get up and stand andwalk into your God given destiny . it’s time to shake off what is holding you back , come on, comewith me now on the heights of the earth and see the oil out of a flinty rock and honey out of the rockis literally means doing the impossible. Deut 32>12.13 God’s ultimate desire is to bless His childrenYes you are about to witness God provision in the desert of your lives. Job36.11 says, if you obey andserve him, you will spend your days in prosperity and your years in pleasure.
Henry Ford‘s factory was burnt down and all he had left was the scraps of the factory, he used thescraps to create a new idea and made a fortune. You may feel all you have is scraps right now, butyour ability to take the scraps of your life will enable you to come out with a witty idea. Oh yes that’sright you can become a new person through this difficult time.
Reprocess your heritance. You are a joint heir with Jesus Christ; accept the value that God’s hasplaced on you. When you do this, you will then cooperate with God to develop the best possibleyou in this world. This will eliminate fear of failure or defeat, because nothing can stop you and Godworking together. Isa41:10 Deut 31:6 You will have courage because you have now discovered thatwith God at work in you, you are indomitable .Jos 1:9 1john4.4 You now can stand tall, square yourshoulders, to look out into the future with confidence, to walk with steady walk, and rise to the levelof importance for which God created you.ps:46.1-3
Recover David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken from him.1st Samuel 30:19 You willrecover your lost, it’s not me saying this it’s in the word so take that, and recover.
Rejoice wooo how can we rejoice when everything around you is falling apart , But Jesus said be ofgood cheer for i have overcome the world John 16.33 You are a over comer because Christ is in you,there is no defeat in the bible for those who love God. This is a choice to make and think talk as aover comer.
Reflect: on how you have being doing things Let every experience teach you , we all need the artof reflecting. Yesterday is in the tomb Tomorrow is in the womb. Your life is today. Prov 22:29prov:1.31. During this time you will be revealed the deep truths about yourself and the deep truthsand secrets, Daniel 2.22 i will reveal you the deep secrets. The best of who you are will come outduring reflection, opps and the worse part of you. Go for it.
Look at all that God has already done in your life.
Remember: But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to producewealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefather, as it is today. God whogives you power to get wealth.Deut:8:18
As you recognise your procession in Christ you will cause the seeds of greatness to germinate in youGal 3:29 1peter 1:23 Keep yourself watered by thinking on the person you are in Christ reaffirmingyour value until your attitude and conduct are transformed

Warren Buffet’s 10 Ways to Get Rich
Report from property investments.co.uk September 2008
1. Reinvest your profits – When you first start making some money, don’t spend it all right away. Rather, use it togrow your business and increase your profits.Be willing to be different – This one confused me somewhat. The article claims that instead of following the herd,
2. Buffet focused on undervalued investments and beat the market year after year which makes a lot of sense. It thenstates, “To Buffet, the average is just that – what everybody else is doing.” This confuses me a bit because Buffet is abig proponent of low-cost index fund investing. So much so that he bet approximately $320,000 that the S&P 500 IndexFund will outperform a collection of sophisticated hedge funds . The argument against index funds is that they are “justaverage.” Anyway, the point is, don’t just do what everyone else is already doing in the same way that everyone else isalready doing it.
3. Never suck your thumb – Gather your information and make a decision. Calling any extra time wasted beforemaking a decision “thumb sucking,” the article states that when people offer Buffet a business or investment, he makes adecision on the spot. (I need to work on this thumb sucking thing with my daughter, actually…”see honey, Warren Buffetsays you shouldn’t suck your thumb either and he’s the Oracle of Omaha…”)
4. Spell out the deal before you start – Always agree on the specifics of any deal before starting on it. Buffet notesthat your bargaining position is greatest before beginning work on a job. So, even with friends and relatives, make sureeveryone understands and agrees to the details of the deal in advance.
5. Watch small expenses – I think this is what spurs him to recommend low cost index funds. If you read that articleabove, you’ll see the crazy fees that are levied by those hedge funds. This suggestion, of course, extends far beyond justinvesting advice. Limiting your expenses in all areas of your life will extend the reach of your paycheck as well.
6. Limit what you borrow – Woohoo, now you’re talking! The article claims that Buffet has never borrowed a significantamount of money. His advice is to become debt-free and then save some money to start investing. This is quite a bitdifferent from all the gurus claiming that rich people get rich by using other people’s money.
7. Be persistent – Buffet claims that someone possessing persistence (and ingenuity) can win against a bigger and/ormore established competitor.
8. Know when to quit – Sometimes, it is best to just cut your losses and walk away instead of throwing good moneyafter bad. When you are down, resist the inclination to win it all back with the next bet.
9. Assess the risks – The article describes a situation where Buffet advised his son to imagine the worst-case andbest-case scenarios for a certain course of action. This exercise will help you understand the risks and rewards forwhatever decision you are making.
10. Know what success really means – The article claims that Buffet does not measure his success by dollars. Here’s an interesting quote from Buffet:”I know people who have a lot of money,” he says, “and they get testimonial dinners and hospital wings named after them. Butthe truth is that nobody in the world loves them. When you get to my age, you’ll measure your success in life by how many ofthe people you want to have love you actually do love you. That’s the ultimate test of how you’ve lived your life.”
