WEALTH IS NOT TANGIBLE

We have been deceived for so long that wealth is how much property you have, how expensive the car you drive is, the clothes you wear are, the places you hang out are... and the list goes on.
Let me ask you this. Do you believe that poverty is a mentality? I mean we have heard that so many times as the reason why Africa, South America and some Asian countries have so many poor people. If you believe that these people are poor because that is how they think, why is it so difficult to believe that the exact opposite is a wealthy mentality?
It is my strong belief that wealth cannot be perceived by our five senses; ie. you cannot see it, smell it, feel it, touch it or taste it. The only thing about wealth that our five senses can perceive are the fruits or physical manifestations of people who have a wealthy mentality. I must hastily add here that most people we think are wealthy are infact so far from that because if you observe their behaviour, you will have no doubt that it is consistent with a poverty mentality. Let me give you the most obvious example. How many people whom we consider wealthy spend the biggest part of their time proving to everyone and anyone that they are wealthy. In my understanding of a wealthy mentality, you don't have to prove to anyone that you are wealthy.

This however brings in another puzzling question. Who are the wealthy people then? This is what I know. Most wealthy people have no idea how wealthy they are. This is because of lack of knowledge and the lie most of us have believed for so long that wealth is what you have (kyolinawo). The Bible says in Hosea 4:6—My people are DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE, because you have REJECTED KNOWLEDGE .......
There is a lot more and I will add to this but let this give you food for thought for now.
