How to become wealthy

Scripture

Proverbs 13:11

Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time. 

Observation

How does a person become wealthy? The answer is thru hard work.  The easy way or the easy road never leads to success.  Successful people do what others are unwilling to do.  They get up early, prepare, work hard, and make sacrifices.  There are no get-rich- quick schemes.  This is true for our finances but it is also true in every area of our lives.  Successful relationships are hard work, successful ministries or careers takes hard work.  You will reap what you sow.  

Application

1. get up early

2. Plan your day

3. Work your plan

4. Be diligent and persistent

5. Be the turtle not the rabbit.

Slow steady daily progress is the key.

6. Take calculated risks

7. Have faith

8. Work hard

Prayer

Father, my human nature wants easy quick success.  It does not want to work hard, get up early, or be diligent.  My flesh desires the easy wide road. But the narrow road leads to lasting success.  May I choice it, walk on it, travel down your road.
