What Is Wealth To You?

0:01 Welcome to the latest episode of your favorite podcast and mind currently under construction. I am your host, Oh this. Thank you so much for joining us today. Today is Sunday, March thirteen. We are just about halfway through the month of March. We are just now in the Middle Day, like savings time, or sorry, day, like standard time. So we lost our last night and man, it's going to take my body a day to recover from this. I just this, like this time of year. It comes, you know, well, when that specific day comes, you know, because you know we lose that I will sleep, you know, the kind of fix your body, you knowing, the kind of fix the things and how you move going forward and everything for the next couple of days.

0:45 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 want to say that I were really appreciate the support that we all give us here currently on the construction. 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 and podcasting to you right here. So definitely looking forward to that ASS. Last year we did a little something for anniversary that Shit. May Do something, a little something this shit, but maybe a little different. I don't know. We hadn't decided this shit, but keep tuning in. I give you en update here in the next couple of weeks, you know, prior to the anniversary. But either way, definitely going to do something for you, all our devoted listeners, all those who join us, all those who continue to support us here, currently under construction, and every way that you do. This month is women's history month and last week we celebrated in a National Women's Day. So I want to send a shout out to the women, all those who paved a way, who've done something, who poured in to those someone's life in some way or another or made that mark in history than those that we celebrate. I just want to send our shout out

2:16 to those ladies, right here and right now. There are so many that have poured into me and my whole life, those that you know, you've heard me talk about, where that's my granny, whether it's my mom my, but dea, my God mother. But there are several other women that 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, nicest to me, but to others, that you inspire others, that you hope others, that you pour into others, that you show, even if you're not trying to do it, other stick you showed, that this is who you are, this is what you are about, and I just want to take the time to appreciate you all and and send a shout out to you. A couple of women I'm going to acknowledge right now.

3:25 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. Miss Art Easton, good friend of mine, businesswoman, Wonderful Mother, wonderful friend. See, definitely pours into me and so many different ways since we met. She's just the inspiration of 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 it did. By the same token, she's never down. See steps out on her she steps out of her conference 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'm want to send a shout out to you. My friend, Miss Dale Cold, 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.

4:47 Just she genuinely cares about people. She's a social worker on top of that, so she's definitely pouring into our children for the future and all, but she 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 to 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, prophet is Angela. You know what you mean to me. You been like a second mom to me since I was ket 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 knees before my own or, regardless of what I may or may not be going through at that particular time, that they could be someone going through much worse than me. So that's something that you poured into me that I see

6:21 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 they have several others that I all get. I can't name right now, but definitely 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 mean specifically doing 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.

7:01 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 a different direction. Lets you all know, I always eat before recording. I always take a moment to pray and to ask God to to guide my tongue, to my actions, to God my mind and order my thoughts and my words and prior what I'm going to say prior to recording. And my he hasn't so many different times, you know, I had everything lined up, format it out and guys like, nope, no, we're not talking about that today. When move on to do this right here, and I'm like what? They had already got this lined out, but okay, yes, sir, come on now. We 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.

8:11 So we just have to continue to be obedient to that at that time and just allow God to move us in a direction that he wants and means for us to go. So I want to talk about wealth. So when we generally think about wealth, we normally think about money. We normally think about those that have worked hard or have been blessed, we put into position to have all different types of monetary things that they have. You know so much, I'm mass in amount of liquid assets that they are. Children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and so forth will have. So but that's not what I'm talking about right now. But 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 Dr Webster defines as wealth.

9:24 But I'm not talking about that particular type of wealth. I am more so speaking on the wealth of your life. To that transcends anything materialistic. You see, regardless of what we we may do with me may heaven life, there are, there are or where we are in life, there are others who may or may not be where we are, or maybe worse oft than we are. But what 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 a morning when he brings the breath of life in you again, that's wealth. He wicks you up and you 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 going to get their next

10:54 meal from, or they maybe they may be can't walk or sick to the point to where they can't get up or anything? We're not right that right now. So if God blesses you end up and put you in a position that you wake up and you have all of those given faculties, along with a roof over your head, food on your table a job to go to, 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 at once some point in my life, about what I didn't have. A such such always has more than me, or when it's going to be my turn to get such as, such, as such. Well, you know why I don't have this right here. If I had this, I can be doing so much better. But it took God to tear me that down to the last. I'm not do mean the last. So come on here, somebody going to get this right here to the last comment. And I'm the dubed bottom of the bottom to where I had no choice but to depend on him.

12:16 So I had no choice but like, okay, God, I don't know where we're going, I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm going to trust you. I know that you're going to make a way. Are you going to put me 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 to 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 always complaining about what we don't have. What we look at those that are wealthy materialistically and we like, okay, my life would be so much better if I had what they had versus you. Already there, we what you do have. If you change your mentality, your mindset of what wealth truly is, maybe you know the doors that God can help open up for you, for us, man, look tip you Wai. I'm me, and I feel, and I think this to myself, I am I'm well to be. I'm well to be on any play that I can believe.

13:45 I am. I believe that. Why? Because God said so. Yeah, it's not about what I have materialistically or anything. What's what I believe now I want more out of life, because God's word says, and it's something that we have to do, even when you're having a conversation with God, talk his word back to him, because God's Word says that I can have to my heart's desires. I can, and cause God wants us to live a life abundantly, and he does. God's where 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, man, 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 the small amount of it can do. And now ifew take that smile 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 u us to be happy, to have everything that we want, that we that our hearts desire.

15:07 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? You know how wealthy that makes you? A Hut? And when you begin to pour into others and then you see other what you poured into others become, begin to come to life, accoming to fruition, and 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.

16:11 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 did have poured into me, and they are wealthy behind that, because they share 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. God did not create you to be one of these people to blend, then he didn't.

17:03 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 boy 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 are all wealthy. Some of US just don't know it.

18:00 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 bundant I want you all to be wealthy. Why? Why? Cousins and kinfolks? Why do why do I want that? Why should I? Why should 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.

19:08 God wants us to have more than what we want for ourselves, and we're his kids. So that's why I want that for you, for us, so we can grow and we can and spread that wealth. And guess what that wealth that we share with each other and it grows with guess what it is turned do? At some particular point it 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 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

20:56 that life offers you, my people. That is my time for the day. I know I got to to put a little something on your mind, but hey, that's what we do here currently on the construction. We put things on your mind with eve you things to think about, but at the same time, you know what we do.
