HOW TO TURN PROBLEMS INTO FINANCIAL PROSPERITY. (PART 7)

THE SECRET TO WEALTH, BLESSINGS AND PROMINENCE

Nelson Mandela became very relevant and was even tagged a ‘world citizen’ because he fought apartheid. Malala fought for her right to education for herself and the Pakistani children. Martin Luther King Jr. stood against injustice and racial discrimination. Esther aborted the plot to kill her people even though her life was at risk. The Wright brothers gave the world one of the fastest means of transportation today.

Think of every one of them and all others you’ve read about in the course of this book and you will discover that their relevance was tied to the problems they solved. You will notice that without those problems they dedicated their lives to solving, the last chapter would have probably been filled with other names.

Take time to brood over this, what brought Bill Gates to the limelight? The problem of personal computers brought Bill Gates to prominence. And when there was another problem that computers are too big to carry about and we needed smaller, handier and better designs, Steve Jobs became relevant. Getting rich became automatic for both of them because of the problems they solved.

Some of the people you have read about in this week’s article might not be the richest. Some of them might not have made it to the Forbes list, but it is also important to note that the problems they solved were the keys to their wealth, relevance, significance, honor and prominence.

I strongly believe that this week’s article has been able to prove to you beyond reasonable doubt that money is always connected to problems. Money is a by-product of problems. And you must have also come to realize that there is a cordial relationship between problems and money.

I also believe that you already know by now that money and problems are very close relatives. The child of problem is solution and the grandchild of problem is money. Problems must give birth to solutions, then, the solution leads to money. Problem, therefore, is a wealthy goldmine. And where there is a problem, there is money.

Problem > Solution > Money

This has been the main theme of this week’s article. The story of Bata Shoe Company, the attitude of Caleb and Joshua, how the Chinese and Japanese firms have been taking advantage of the problems in Africa, the story of Henry Ford, the biblical story of Joseph and Esther have all proven that where there is a problem, there is money. They have also shown you how to see the opportunities hidden in problems.

More importantly, their stories are good examples on how to approach and come up with solutions to the problems you find around you.

Wherever there is a problem, there is money

Wherever there is a problem, there is a job, and

Wherever there is a problem, there are opportunities;

I’ll also like you to take this along with you.

Wherever there is a problem, there is honor

Whenever you see a problem that is your place of honor. The people we refer to as great or heroes are the problem solvers. They saw a problem and they responded. David became a hero because he saw Goliath and jumped on him. When two women were fighting over one child, King Solomon solved the problem and he was regarded as the wisest man on earth. Esther fearlessly and courageously fought for the Jews. What of the likes of Nelson Mandela, Malala, and Martin Luther King Jr.? They all became Nobel Laureates because of the problem they dedicated their lives to solving.

In the same light, over the past few years, the honors and accolades for Flying Doctors started by Dr. Ola have begun to flow, with the prestigious World Economic Forum recognizing her considerable achievements by naming her amongst its prestigious Young Global Leaders class of 2013, a group it describes as the best of today’s leaders under the age of 40.

Jack Ma of Alibaba has been named one of the world’s most influential people by Time Magazine in 2009, businessperson of the year in 2007 by Business week, Asia’s Heroes of Philanthropy in 2010 by Forbes Asia, one of 30 world’s best CEOs by Barron’s in 2008 and in 2001, he made the list of young global leaders by the World Economic Forum.

What of Sam Walton of Walmart? Just before Walton’s passing, he received the Medal of Freedom, from President George H. W. Bush. This is an honor reserved for the nation’s most respected civilians.

Wherever there is a problem, there is honor hidden there. As soon as the problem is resolved, you become the hero. Whenever you provide an answer to a problem, you become significant in the society.

The reason why people will respect you is because of the problem you solve. Those who complain, groan and do nothing about the problem in the society are often met with disrespect and dishonor.

Wherever you see a problem, there is a blessing

Wherever you see a problem, there is a blessing. Blessings always come in unexpected manners. Blessings are always disguised. If you see the raw diamond, it is like dirt. More so, you need to dig deep into the soil to get it.

Deep down in the depth of every dirt, there is a diamond. Hidden under every problem is a blessing. Whenever there is a problem, there is a blessing and a provision.

There was a problem in Egypt. Pharaoh wanted an interpretation to his dream. Nobody could give an answer to the problem but Joseph did. That problem became a blessing for Joseph. He went from slavery in the prison to become the Prime Minister, and Egypt became the economic hub of the world during the famine, thanks to problems!

Wherever there is a problem, there is a future

Wherever there is a problem, there is a future. This is true because if you are down already, you can only go up. If there are problems, it means things are down. If the economy has problems, it means the economy is down. The only place anything that is ‘down’ can go is ‘up.’ And if it’s up already, the only place it can go is down.

Are you still running away from the third world countries? Are you still running away from places that are associated with so many problems? Are you still running away from Africa? Are you still running away from Nigeria? Are you still blaming the government? Are you still complaining? Are you still waiting for the future or you will stand up and create it?

Well, I am running to Africa. Africa is the future, my dear. It is the wealthiest goldmine in the world right now. The future is where there are a lot of problems. The future is in Africa. We are going to create that future. We are not going to wait till there is electricity, water, and everything are provided. No! Everything there right now is only temporal.

Even the Bible confirms this in 2 Corinthians 4:18:

“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

If it is poverty that is there right now, it is temporal. It shall be replaced with wealth. If it is hunger that is widespread right now, it is

Worrying is a waste of Time

In the early 1990s, Donald Trump was near $1 billion in debt personally and $9 billion in debt corporately. An interviewer asked him if he was worried. He replied, “Worrying is a waste of time. Worrying gets in my way of working to solve problems.”

As I conclude, I will like to leave you with this. Instead of worrying, look around for what needs to be done, seek out the problems that are crying for solutions around you and solve them. Then and only then will you experience God’s abundance beyond your imagination.

Stop running away from problems. Actually, whatever you are looking for in life is hidden in the problems you resolve. Are you looking for honor? You will find it in problems. Are you looking for opportunities? You will find it in problems. Are you looking for jobs? You will find them in problems. Are you looking for a future and destiny? You will find them in problems. Are you looking for blessings? You will find them in problems. Chase after problems. Embrace it. Welcome it and find solutions to it.

If you train yourself to begin to look for problems and look for ways to resolve them, you will experience God’s blessings and have much more honor than you could ever imagine. And you will discover that getting rich is automatic if you will solve problems.

Wherever there is a problem, there is money!
