Talk about the money a bit. And so
when we talk about money,
money is not money. Money
relationship. It's relational.
And so,
the bible says make
making friends with makes.
Man the god of the world, the money
is the system. So not least supposed to
love money. Money is really not...
I'm a say, like, Yemen I say it's
not necessary what I mean by that is
that money takes on the nature of the
person who has it.
And so
if you give somebody a million dollars, and
And
like, people win the lottery. And in 2
years later on the average, they say, but
2 years later the average person is is
broke again. Why because they don't have the
spirit
of
multiplication.
You know, you can give somebody a seed
or a million dollar doesn't matter. You can
put it in seed from. Jesus just talked
he didn't save money. He said seed. Give
somebody a seed and then they eat the
seed they all have. So what if they
you you take some, you eat some,
you plant some, you store some.
So when we talk about money, I'm is
gonna go straight to the to the to
my point.
We need to learn to multiply money. And
so I'm a go deeper than that. How
do you multiply money? I'm gonna tell you
how you multiply money. Remember we were young,
and you probably played that game called Monopoly.
What a game called Monopoly was an steeper
experience all life, those were like sub... Those
are like small versions or or or practicing
how real life was. Right? And so what
I mean, by but that during that it
really didn't cost you anything, you didn't really
stress because it was a game. Well, I'm
telling you, and if you look at it
in the same way and realize that is
you have an opportunity to practice
your money, your wealth, your increase how,
but by practicing on a on the board
of time. You see your life is constant
of time.
God did not create money.
God created time. So we wanna be really
why, We learn how to manage our invest
our time, which is the cup which which
which basic is defined... That's how like. For
defining time. Anyway, you were born here your
die there. That's just a measurement of time.
And so because God created time, we need
to take out photos off the money and
focus on managing our time.
That's the real price. And so when you
learn how you manage your time, time will
also be how you how you manage your
money. Because because you're the same you the
common denominator.
And so so you said, well man I
I went to school. I did this. I
went to work, Right. Right. So I'm I'm
going somewhere with this. So I'm saying, take
your time,
we all must do. If we're gonna be
wise.
Take your time, and just like you put
time when the time clock. That's what I
call the time clock on your job because
they're measuring how many hours you put in
or that thing on that on that for
that labor. And I'm simply suggesting to us
as wise men and women
in his world today to text on some
time that you already go... You already give
given and invest a portion of it
into a system.
Or bought... There's some good stuff, man some
juices stuff here. You see a system is
basically a machine.
So you had a machine that printed money,
then you will definitely buy that machine. I'm
saying that there is no secret to your
success, but there is a system to your
success.
Because a system
is,
your a system is basically
where
it rep
reproduce and replicates yourself, whereas a job, you
have to keep showing up and what? When
you keep showing up, is taking your time.
Oh my god. See, a system doesn't take
your time. And Remember started. I didn't talk...
I haven't taken put money yet. I'm only
talking about time. So when I say, if
you take the time, we not even talking
about money, and you put that time and
you invest it into a system, I'm the
system will replicate itself and duplicate your money.
But here's the golden ticket. You don't have
to be present,
or if you if you do minimally. Right?
So almost like you said and forget it.
So when you talk about your job is
giving an ultimatum. Well, let me just tell
you. I'm just gonna let's just keep it
real. There is gonna be
so many people losing your jobs
because of Ai, because of technology.
I mean, I was just reading something that
day Walmart has truck that will go from
coast to coast and deliver
goods and services without a driver. That's massive.
So but what I'm saying is technology is
increasing, and so you're gonna be duplicated. And
this is why I always talk to people
about... And you know... I say nothing but
money yet. I'm talking about time. Now here's
another word time. And here's another word
for those who old enough for member sesame.
Said the word for the date, value.
When you... When when your value is known
and recognize recognized, they will always... You make
a way to keep you on board.
Someone when you get fired from a job,
when you give it ultimatum, they have not
properly discern your value.
They because when they deserve your value, guess
what? They're not getting rid of you.
Now the problem is most time we haven't
deserve my value.
And when you discern your your value is
the is the hours I will narrow down
to the... It comes from your gifting. The
balance of he that your gift makes room
for you. Now, there's 2 days, you can
look at that. Some people say your gift
is room for you and you maybe you
your skills, your talents, make room for you.
I can see that, but also some validity
physically bringing a gift to someone. Whichever we
look for it, you gotta identify your gifting
things. Your gifting is your naught and your
place of authority. When... Not now here's... I'm
a someone up like this. Your place of
authority is where they come to you. If
I were to say who's 1 the all
time best basketball years of all time. Top
5, top 5 gonna come up, Jordan
or or or or Shaq or Kobe.
It doesn't matter, but a top 5, you
wanna get jordan. Even if you don't like
him. Right? So what am I saying? His
authority is in that realm in He's established
authority that room of basketball. Right? And so
catch this
because he's the authority in that arena. Guess
what happens. Now people come to him for
movie appearances celebrity endorsements. And wait, they no.
Sorry. Pay pay him. There's that money. They
pay him for movie appearances, celebrity endorsements, for
his merchandise called Jordans for his brands and
it's... They pay you. So here's my point.
When when when I'm the authority, they come
to me and when you come me Name
the fee.
The problem is that your place of authority
is your place of provision, what you... I'm
gonna just I'm a go deep 1. Your
place of authority is your place of power
of purpose,
provision and power. So when a man doesn't
understand or it hasn't discussed... His place of
authority,
then he has to he... He's not clear
on his purpose. So therefore, he doesn't have
his power, and therefore he's if provision is
limited.
So check this out. Now, when you are
the authority, you're the go to person. See,
no... Jordan doesn't run behind people for us
an endorsement. They come to him. So now
let me let me bring all this to
a head when I say like this. Genesis
01:26 01:27 and 01:20, my favorite scripture is
in the bible because it says let us
make man put your name my there. Let
us make Darren in our image in our
likeness. We're... He gonna look like us. He
gonna act like us. And why are we
doing this? Because we want them to have
dominion, There's that word authority.
And that's the problem.
You have a job and it's keeping you
comfortable, and that's great. You need... Hey. You
need a job. Right? This use you supposed
to worry.
Right? But don't let a job hold you
back from discovering your place of authority. And
when you do discover it, then you put
that into a system. I'm just something up.
Right? So when you discover your place of
authority, you've also simultaneously that discovered your purpose,
you... Because remember you he made you in
an image to have what... In other words,
your purpose is your place where God has
created you to have dominion authority. So when
you discover your authority, your place of authority,
You discover your place of purpose. And then
because you find your purpose, you you you
operate in that power.
You flex. You got skills in that area.
Right? That's why you can't...
In other words, that's why as you you
you have to be focused. And then when
you discover your purpose, your power, that power
produces what provision. And now they come to
you. They come to you. You know, you
know, you, you guys know 1 of the
businesses I own is a printing company.
And and from that, I've published books of
people. And the national average 02:53
50 the most. And what happens is,
my point being is that is because when
people sell 253 hundred 50 books as an
average.
That represents their family, their friends, their relatives
to their neighbors, their church members, the people
who feel sorry for our people that hustle
out the back of their trunk. What what's
my point? People who write books who don't
have authority, you Hustling
because you go in after to sell my
book.
But let's just say you really aggressive. You
sell 500. Oh, you know what? I'll give
you a thousand bucks. You sell a thousand
bucks. There's a problem with that.
You know, and I'm not telling... You should...
Everybody should publish. But what I'm saying is
I teach my client. There's a there's a
system that's that word a system. The system
is you you see your book establishes and
rep... And helps you establish your what your
authority has prove that. The root word of
authority is what author.
Come on. Come on, man. The ruler word
of author is authority is author. And so
Guy told you to establish your place of
authority, well I tell my clients write a
book to establish their author a book to
establish their authority.
I
Right? And so why, why do we do
that? Because now when your authorities is established,
now they come to you. Now you don't
have the hustle books. Got thousand books in
your liver them when you garage. You can't
get rid of them because you don't have
no authority. So you do it backwards.
You don't have a you don't have a
blueprint. You don't have a brand. You and...
And then no one's you didn't have them
on the guy you established, help you establish
your authority. And so therefore, you got the
house of books. You got to go to
them. And so what I'm saying is let
focus on building and established and discovering our
authority,
then we author a book. It supports that
and and endorse that. And then now picks
coming to you.
So now that's... This would be a message
to everyone that listen because of technology,
job charges food shoulders us, you find your
place of authority, which is your place in
value. You have value in the earth room
because God made you for purpose. And I'm
improving. He all also knew that you will
be born in this time zone in this
time frame. This
of time. So he knew you would have
challenges. He knew A also and other things
would be here. So you better find your
place of authority as a man because what's
gonna happen is you're gonna be replaced and
And so how do you start that? I
we're not gonna go into all of, but
I will tell you this much. You first
find out your gifting.
Your gifting things are like a, like a
dashboard on a car? What do you like?
Were you passionate about? Your passion is connected
to your purpose. He gave you passion as
a magnet to draw you closer to your
purpose, your place of authority.
And so,
now, guys, if you're interested in in in
going deepen that for your yourself person. Just
book a session, Me. It's to my website
ready for inquiries dot com and pick a
time, and we'll will talk about that. Won't
call your dial. Ready for inquiries dot com.
But order for the sake of this time
right now, I want you to know that
when there gonna be more shortages
because technology is increasing, but also there's an
acceleration in the spirit realm.
Now, what why is that good news. That
means gonna be easy to make money now.
You won't have to struggle and talk because
things because and easier and faster. So what
that means is that,
it's kinda like now, there's so much knowledge
and information. It's like we on information overload.
I So you need to know... Yeah it's
like, nobody won't... It's, like, if actually people
are learning online more now. They're not college
enrollment school roam down. Why? Because you can
get... Yep. You can literally learn anything you
want online right now and and cheap or
either for free.
So why... So now the value of school
unless you hit are a actor or someone
who need some certification is even cheap. Right?
So now you have to realize where do
I fit? You made to solve a problem
actor you... Money is only reward for solving
a problem.
So we need to identify if you're listening
to me right now, and you need to
identify what what's my value? Where do I
fit? What's my purpose? Because my my purpose
in my place of power. And and then
when I discover all that, then put it
in system.
So my value. Let me tell you my
my value is helping people discover their purpose
and then and building that brand,
establishing the authority and put it in the
system because I don't know to me people
doing that on a regular everyday bay... Day
everyday basis. And I love... I love working
with champions,
I love making good deals great. So that's
why I love. See what I love is
not really work. So when you say, man,
I wanna do this. I, okay. Let's get
it. That's gonna the lab. It's gonna to
gym. And so we create this product to
service or brand, and and we take it
from nothing and make it itself and creek
or in high demand. And then when we
do that, then we do put put in
the system and set it and forget it.
Now when you wake up you instead in
saying you got mail. You got cash. I
love that. That is that's that that that
it confuses me with such a... It is
it's like... It's like I'm monopoly game. It's
like that that that payday game or that
life game. It was the it was the
it was the joy of putting it together,
not even the money. You notice I'm in
all while talking, I didn't even talk about
money today. I've... I talked about authority,
power,
position. I... You know, I talked about knowing
yourself, your purpose you're calling. And so the
the solution to
provision is when you find your place of
thought party,
then you you brand that you label that,
and then you put into a system
and and systems starting saying you. I told
you before. There's no secret to your success.
Everybody looking for the secret. Man, you just
need a system. Let me prove that you
and then we're gonna move on. So ban
What is the system? A system is a
a methodology or set way that they guarantee
you something. All you guarantee. So Netflix or
whatever your subscription is, system that work
systematically,
it retract our deduct money from your account
because you have
you're a subscribers excuse me. Well, you're also
from familiar with another kind of system called
payday.
You on certain day they... Systematically pay you
money, and they better have your money. You
know that. Well that's the system? Some people
know that the system with the first in
the 15.
Those are systems whether through a government system
or pay system. I'm trying to tell you
who's telling you or you... I suggest you
put a system in place. For yourself. A
assistance up about a funnel where you will
you receive any things come to you. You
know? And we... You know, the the Bible
talks about a prophet who told the Widow
woman borrow some vessels. Go put some systems
in place in not just a few,
and it said the oil stopped when she
ran out of vessels or systems.
So I'm telling you you need a system.
A job is good, but a job is
a job is limited.
A job always requires your time and maybe
later obviously, talk to. So you need some
right now money, which is your job, and
then you also need some weekly money, some
monthly money and some long term money.
And I I think we need to talk
about that because we need to have different
types of money.
See your right now, your job pays you
and then when you finish they pay you.
Right? Whatever set time. But but but that's
just right now money, but then you have
intellectual property money, which is a result of
your creativity.
Then you have systematic money, which is money
as a a result of a system.
And then you got what in in investment
money, which is money as a result of
a long term game. You got different kinds
of money. And so we are as a
lot of times as men and women we're
trying to live long term offer right now
money. Your job should be helping you create
some seeds to invest in the all areas
of your of your life.
So you should get your seed money from
your job invested in the system, now you
eat long term.
So so I hope that I've said something
today to kinda help you think about their
money is not your problem.
The threat of not having money is not
your problem. You gotta look within them, see
when you always, I this, when your game
is right, your auto of game gonna be
tight.
And so let's get out in game. Look
their guy has invested treasure in you.
He's invested treasure inside you and if you
don't discover it then we'll we'll be hungry.
Everything's an inside our job.
Christ in you to hope of glory it.
Well, not... Let's just... Let's it put Just
christ you is the pay that you're expecting
that you need. And so God is invested
something inside you a gifting a talent an
annoying, and we needed to take that, take
that gift now in in the illinois and
transfer that. See when he said he gave
1 1 talent, 1315?
He said, what did you do with him?
And the 1 that saying were you working
on people for serving sick because I hit
it. I was afraid first, which I... Yeah.
I didn't wanna invest.
I ate Llc, and I hit it and
I put in the bank and just let
they that. Don't you know the bank doesn't
keep your money in the bank they use
it. They do what useful too free to
do. Your bank takes your money when you
deposit, you deposit deposit the 5000 dollars. They're
gonna take that money. They're gonna invest it
because you didn't have the wisdom or you
were too afraid to do it. Either you
were ignorant and didn't know to invest it
or you were too afraid to invest. And
so they take your money and give... Make
make 12:15 and 20 percent or more and
give you 1 percent, 2 percent
you get played.
Now we use the banking system because it's
a mean exchange, you know, for so many
reasons, however, but Basically, you really don't have
to have the bank
when it comes to your money. Right? So
I hope I said something to bless you.
Today,
and so,
it's it's not that serious when you understand
what's really going on.
But
