How to make your first million before 2012 ends!

"Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seed. As he scattered it across his field, some of the seed fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate it. Other seed fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seed sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. But the plant soon wilted under the hot sun, and since it didn't have deep roots, it died." (Mark 4:3-6).
Our generation these days is obssesed with a lot of things but one thing rings the loudest in my ears which is the desire to acheive success as quickly as possible. We want to make our first million in weeks, build a house in months and make it to the cover of Time magazine in a few years. The crazy and wasteful lifestyles of political office holders and celebrities mesmerise some and they also want that cloth, that house, that car, that attention. We go to church and hear prophecies and promises of faith and seed sowing, of instant change of lives (financially), deceiving christians to continue to give for their enrichment in the name of prosperity. The church continues with their building projects, not concerned about the welfare and growth of its members. What's the point?
Nigerians need to wake up and realise that there is no free food anywhere,no capacity for overnight success. True and lasting success comes from long periods of hardwork, diligence and commitment. Those seen at the top did not get there by wishing, giving and praying (alone), or losing their integrity. It takes years to make it to the point of fulfillment. Let no man deceive you with some story of how you can acheive that dream in a very short while. Nothing, in reality, works that way.
