Replay What is wealth to you?

0:01 Welcome to the latest episode of your favorite podcast and mine, currently under construction. I am your host, Ohtis. Thank you so much for joining us today. Today is Sunday March. We are just about halfway through the month of March. We are just now in the Middle Day, like savings time. Sorry, there like standard time. So we lost our last night and uh man, it's gonna take my body and dare to recover from there. I just this like this time of year, it comes, you know, well, when that specific day comes, you know, because you know we loose that, I will sleep, you know, and they kind of fix your body, you know, and they kind of fix the things and how you move going forward and everything for the next couple of days. But as always, we have to, you know, move past to deal with it, move through it and keep it pushing, you know. I thank you all so much for joining us today. Again, I just wanna say that we really appreciate the support that we all give us here. Currently under construction.

1:04 I know I say it time and time again. I've been saying it for the last year plus, almost two years, which next month will make our two year anniversary here. It currently under construction and recording the podcasts for you right here. So definitely looking forward to that. As last year, um we did a little something for our anniversary. Laship. May Do something, a little something this ship, but maybe a little different. I don't know. We hadn't decided this ship, but keep tuning in. I give you an update here in the next couple of weeks, you know, prior to the anniversary. But either way, um definitely gonna do something for you, all our devoted listeners, all those who joined us, all those who continue to support us here, currently under construction, and every way that you do. Um. This month is Um Women's history month and last week we celebrated uh, International Women's Day. So I want to send a shout out to the women, uh, all those Um who paved a way, who've done something, who poured in Um, to those someone's life in some way or another or made their mark in history than those that we celebrate. I just want to send our shout out to those ladies, right here and right now. Um. There are so many that have poured into me and my whole life, those that you know, you've heard me talk about, whether it's my granny, whether it's my mom, Mama, dear, my godmother.

2:31 But there are several other women that I, Um, I don't mention too often, who's poured into my life and who continues to pour into my life, and I just want to take the time to acknowledge these ladies, these women, and let you know that I love you, I appreciate you. I appreciate you for all that you do, all that you are, nice as to me but to others, that you inspire, others, that you have hope others, that you pour into others, that you show, even if you're not trying to do what others that you showed, that this is who you are, this is what you're about, and I just want to take the time to appreciate you all, and and and and send a shout out to you. A couple of women I'm going to acknowledge right now.

3:23 Um, they know who they are to me. They're really good friends of mine, but they pour into me in so many ways, even not directly, even it's just indirectly that they pour into me with the things that they do. Um. Ms R eason, good friend of mine, businesswoman, Wonderful Mother, wonderful friend. Um, she definitely pours into me in so many different ways. Since we met. Um Sees just the inspiration of Um single MOMS, you know, doing all she can to, you know, balance life between mom, businesswoman and working her standard job at the same time. But, by the same token, she's never down. She steps out um on her she steps out of her comfort zone so often and beginning to do more and more of it and beginning to truly see how strong and how powerful she is. So I want to send a shout out to you, my friend now, MS DL CO, longtime friend of mine since my childhood. She definitely pours into me each and every day with her positive post, with her positive lives and her positive videos. Just she genuinely cares about people. She's a social worker on top of that, so she's definitely pouring

4:56 into our children for the future and all. But she, uh, just has a genuine caring spirit and and I look forward to her post daily, as she, you know, pours into me and inspires me with the things that she do the things that she says. So I want to definitely acknowledge her at this particular moment, and there are so many others that I can just truly name when I want to take the time to acknowledge my big sister, prophetess Angela. You know what you mean to me. You been like a second mom to me since I was kid, even though you're my big sister. But you, being the strong, powerful woman of God that you are, always putting others kneeds before your own, always have an encouraging word, always willing to pray and pour into others, regardless of how you're feeling physically at that particular time. But you still care enough about others, you know, beyond yourself, and that's what helped teach me to put others kneeds before my own or, regardless of what I may or may not be going through at that particular time, that there could be someone going through much worse than me. So that's something that you poured into me that I see you continue to do so daily, and I love you and I just want to take a moment to acknowledge you and to salute you. And there are several

6:30 others that I all get that I can't name right now, but definitely um I want to this month salute you all and women's history month. There are others that I can go into, but we probably will in another episode. I May specifically do an episode just for that. But I just wanted to take the time right now and pour into these ladies and as they've poured into me, and I want to take the time to acknowledge them and say thank you. M Um. Today I actually was supposed to go into talking about because on the last episode we were going to go back into and talking about narcissist and dealing with it, but I took me in a different direction.

7:19 Let you all know, I always before recording, I always take a moment to pray and to ask God to to guide my tongue, to guide my actions, to God my mind and and u order my thoughts and my words and prior what I'm gonna say, prior to recording. And, like he hasn't so many different times, you know, I had everything lined up, format it out and guy's like, nope, no, we're not talking about that today. I'M gonna move on to do this right here. And I'm like, but daddy already got this lined out, but Um, okay, yes, sir, come on now. Y'All know how God does, you know, and he he has something that he wants us to do and everything that he would take us in a completely different direction. So we just have to continue to be Um obedient to that at that time and Um just allow God to move us in a direction that he wants, a means for us to go. So, Um, I want to talk about wealth. So when we genuinely think about wealth, we normally think about money. We normally think about those that have worked hard or have been blessed and be put into position to Um have all different types of monetary things that they have, you know, so much, a mass and amount of liquid assets that they are

8:50 children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and so forth. We have so but that's not what I'm talking about right now. But UH, Mr Webster's defines wealth as an abundance of valuable processions or money, or the state of being rich, material prosperity, plentiful supplies of a particular resource. That's what Um, Dr Webster defines as wealth. But I'm I'm not talking about that particular type of wealth. I am more so speaking on the wealth of your life too.

9:35 That transcends anything materialistic. You see, regardless of what we Um, we may do, what we may have in life, there there are or where we are in life, there are others who may or may not be where we are, or maybe worse off than we are. But we have the tendency to do is get caught up in the materialistic things and and we may concentrate more on what we don't have versus what we do. You See, God blesses you and wicks you up in the morning when he brings the breath of life and you again, that's wealth. He wicks you up and you're in your right mind, you have all of your giving faculties. You can hear, you can see, you can touch, you can taste, you can think, you can get up and walk. That's wealth. How many people right now in this world are stuck in a place where they don't know where they're gonna get their next meal from, or they may be Um?

11:01 They may be Um you can't walk, or sick to the point where they can't get up or anything. We're not right there right now. So if God blesses you and up and put you into position that you wake up and you have all of those given faculties, along with the roof over your head, food on your table, a job to go too, that's wealth. Whether we know it or not. We sit there and again, I'll be the first I've complained about it before myself and at some point in my life, about what I didn't have, for such and such always has more than me, or when it's gonna be my turn to get such and such, such and such. Well, you know, I don't have this right here. If I had this, I could be doing so much better.

11:54 But it took God to tear me din Um to the last, I'm not do mean the last. Come on here, Somebody gonna get this right here, to the last comment, and I'm the dubbed bottom of the bottom to where I had no choice but to depend on him. So I had no choice but like, okay, God, I don't know where we're going, I don't know what I'm gonna do, but I'm gonna Trust you. I know that you're gonna make a way or you're gonna put me in the position to do x, Y Z. It was not until God put me in that position that he's like, okay, now, look, I need you to see what you don't have. I mean I get you to see what you have versus what you don't have, and I was like wow, I just never quite looked at it that particular way because most of us were conditioned or we have that mentality that we're always complaining about what we don't have, what we look at those that Um are wealthy materialistically and we're like, okay, my life would be so much better if I had what they had, versus you already there what you do have. If you change your mentality, your mindset of what wealth truly is, maybe you know the doors that God

13:26 can help open up for you, for us. Man, look, I typical. What I say. I'm me and I feel, and I think this to myself, I am I'm wealth to beyond I'm I'm wealthy beyond anybody that I can believe I am. I believe that. Why? Because God said so. Yeah, it's not about what I have material realistically or anything. That's what I believe. Now I want more out of life, because God's word says, and it's something that we we we we have to do, even when you're having a conversation with God, talk his word back to him, because God's words says that I can have to my heart's desires.

14:16 I can, because God wants us to live a life abundantly, and he does. God's word also states that whatever I ask in the name of Jesus, if I believe, if I have faith the size of a must to see that can tell us not to get up and move and go over there. Now, that's not literal, but it's just telling you what you can what it was, the small amount of it can do. And now if you take that small money and you you and you expound it exponentially, then man, it's nothing you can do. And so that's what I look at it. But that's why I know how wealthy I am and because I know God wants me to live a life abundantly. God wants me, God wants to be happy, to have everything that we want, that we that our hearts desires. But as always, and I've said before, and you've heard me say this and I continue to say so, we have to learn how to get out of our own way, because that's what sometimes prevents us from getting there, because we don't know how to get in get out of our own way. You can be wealthy by pouring into others. Do you know that? Do you know how wealthy that makes you? How and when you begin to pour into others and then you see others what you poured into others, become begin to uh, come to life, occurring to fruition, and

15:50 you see what you've poured into them. Yeah, yeah, I've been. I've been the manifestation of what a lot of people have poured into me. I may not be where I want right now, but I'm far from where I came from. I'm far from the journey that I've taken to the point where I am right now. I'm far from that and that's the result of the people that have poured into me, and they are wealthy behind that, because they shared their wealth with me and I in turn, share my wealth with others. That's what it's about, people. That's what it's all about, sharing your wealth with others. That's how you continue to become wealthy.

16:56 God did not create you to be one of these people to blend in M he didn't. He created us to be extraordinary, and extraordinary people are wealthy people. We are wealthy extraordinary people, but you have to be open to receive all the wealth that life offers you. Again, I'm not talking about monetary wealth, but you have to be open to receiving all of the wealth that life offers you. It's there, it's out there, it's in your face, it's sitting right in front of you. You just have to open your eyes and see it. We're all wealthy. Some of US just don't know it. M M. Some of us are still walking around in the fog and confused and blind. I know this because, again, I've been there. You all know me. I never point anything out or speak on anything that I have not experienced myself or will not put myself at the forefront of. Yeah, I want you all to live a life of Bunney.

18:38 I want you all to be wealthy. Why? Why? Cousins and King Folks? Why? Why? Do? Why do I want that? Why should? Why shouldn't? Why should I care about what you have or don't have, or want you to have more than you have right now? Because you're my cousins and kin folks, because I want more for you than I want for myself, because that's what God wants for us. God wants us to have more than what we want for ourselves and where his kids. So that's why I want that for you, for us, so we can grow and we can spread that wealth. And guess what? That wealth that we share with each other and and it grows with guess what it is? In turn, do at some particular point it will become monetary, that wealth will translate to it. If that's what you so desire. If that's what you so desire, it can, but it starts with you. It starts with us, right there in the heart of everything. It starts with us.

20:07 I want that for you, I want that for us, I want that for our children. I do yeah, I do. So what do you want? Do you want to continue to just be regular? What do you want to be wealthy? That's my question for you today and that's what I want you to sit and think about. Be Open to receiving all the wealth that life offers you. HM, my people, that is my time for to day. I know I gotta have to put a little something on your mind, but hey, that's what we do here currently on the construction.

21:12 We put things on your mind, with even things to think about, but at the same time, you know what we do.
