Boom and Recession

Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. - Gen 41: 34-3

It's a common knowledge that the United States have reserves of Grain, Saudi Arabia has reserves of oil, Russia has reserve of gas, China holds trillions of dollar in US treasury bills, Brazil who were an importer of rice are now exporter of rice because they have reserves and many more examples.

There is time for everything. Time of boom, time of recession, time of abundance, time of scarcity. Pharaoh dream was exactly about that. And there was a solution to that, save in times of abundance, so that you can have in times of scarcity.
In African, we hardly have reserve, Nigeria has reserve in dollars which keep going up and down due to the fluctuation in oil price.

I have heard a story of a top management banker who lost his lucrative job after over 10yrs and he had no savings.

In our country, state, town, municipal, family, church, when we are in times of abundance, we are to save for the 'rainy' day.

God created the earth in such manners that seed and harvest time exist, so when you harvest, you have to save the seed so has to sow more.

Don't eat all your harvest at a go, don't blow all your money at a goal.. plan your expenses well enough because scarcity and abundance will always exist. Invest your money...

He who fail to plan has plan to fail. Egypt came out of the recession successful because of proper planning. Practical solutions to economic problems can be found on the pages of the Bible.

I t's another day to plan... it's Thursday, take out time to plan your resources.

Good Morning and do have a wonderful thursday... =)

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

Song: These Walls

You are good and do good;....  - Psalm 119:68  Few months back, I came across an inspiring song by Jason David who happens to be a pastor.  He was diagnosed with cancer. After a year-long fight with cancer that claimed much of his tongue, Pastor Jason David refuses to stop singing. "These Walls" is an original worship song he wrote that became his anthem as he fought through several surgeries, chemotherapy & radiation. For someone going through challenges; financial, health, marital, academic, whatever it may be, I pray this song will bless you - no matter what walls or mountains you may face, God is greater & God is good!  Below are the lyrics of the song: Verse: You are greater than these walls I'm circling  You are stronger than these army  I see You are bigger than these mountains that I faced And I will choose only to praise You.
