How to Have a Life Overflowing with Abundance

The Bible says, He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season… In all that he does, he prospers. (Psalms 1:3)

God all wants us to be truly rich and be abundant in all aspects of our lives! Here's another excerpt from my powerful financial mentor, Bro. Bo Sanchez, on what exactly should we do that we will have a life overflowing with abundance and reach financial freedom.

What is God telling you? That you’re the tree. And He is the stream. As long as the tree is near the stream, that tree will always bear fruit—because it has an unending supply of water.

As long as you live near the Blesser, you’ll bear fruit. Your blessings will come. You’ll work will prosper. Your success will be at hand.

Let me tell you a story. My wife loves crabs. She doesn’t eat as much today because she knows it’s not the healthiest food in the world. (It was a dark day for her when I gave my talks in Awaken The Healer In You—because I said that crabs and crustaceans were scavengers and eat toxins—and are therefore not very healthy for us.)

Once upon a time, she used to eat lots of it. She was telling me that she went with a few crab-loving friends to an Eat-All-You-Can Buffet. Their goal was to eat crabs only. They didn’t know there were other people in that buffet who had the same idea. So the moment the plate of crabs arrived on the buffet table, the crabs would be wiped out in ten seconds.

So the next time they ate there, they knew what to do. They chose the table closest to the crabs. Whenever the waiter came with a fresh plate of crabs, she and her friends would stand up and be the first in line.

They positioned themselves near the source of supply.

In life, that’s what you need to do. If you want blessing, you’ve got to live near the Blesser. Don’t wander far. Don’t walk away. Don’t live at the periphery. Go where God is and plant yourself near Him and never let go. Because God is the source of your promotion. God is the source of your health. God is the source of your wisdom. God is the source of your miracles.

Now this is one powerful business strategy!

The Right Mindset for Abundance

One of my best mentors in being truly rich and financial freedom is no other than the best motivational preacher - Bro. Bo Sanchez. Here's one powerful anecdote he shared on what should be the right mindset for abundance:

One morning, an Angel appears in front of you. 

And the Angel says, “I’ll give you a gift. You have a choice.” The Angel hands over a scroll to you.

With trembling fingers, you open it. On the parchment, you read the following text…

Please Choose One Gift

Gift 1: Ten million pesos will appear on your lap right now.

Or…

Gift 2: You’ll learn how to earn money. On the first two years, you earn nothing. Zero. But on your third year of learning, you earn P100,000. After that, your profit increases by 20% every year.

Now tell me, what would you choose?

Believe me, it’s so tempting to choose Gift 1.

Because you can buy whatever you want.

P10M is so much more than P100,000.

But don’t be deceived.

Gift 1 is cold cash. Nothing else.

Gift 2 is wisdom, character growth, skill development, increased self-esteem, strong relationships, and yes, money too. (Let’s do the Math: If you chose Gift 2, thirty years later, you’ll be earning P23M a year. Not a bad choice, right?)

Gift 1 (P10M) can disappear in a few years. Not only that, but money without wisdom is toxic. It can kill people and break-up families.

Gift 2 will last your entire lifetime.

So friend, its easy and simple - always chose wisdom rather than money.

Remember, money is temporary - fleeting. While wisdom stays with you forever.
