Get Yourself RICH in just Few Minutes

Really? Is it possible?

Today, we live in oh so materialistic society. Media advertisers feed our insatiable desire for luxurious money,  beauty, and fame. When we listen to songs you affirm to yourself- I WANNA BE A BILLIONAIRE!. No wonder, many have lifestyle-related diseases  caused by stress. I-need-to-work-very-hard mentality creeps in every young and old employees and employer. If only I can have this and that, I would be the happiest person. And yes, I do admit I am guilty at charge. I've been into a double job situation, wherein day and night I work. Teaching in the morning, hospital duty at night time. I live by the principle- SLEEP BELONGS TO THE SLUGGARD. But with all honesty, I was not totally happy! I get so much heartaches, headaches, muscle aches  and all sorts of aches of no straight to the point etiologic cause. 

Then one day, I realized what's the point of working too hard, of accumulating material things when you are not happy. I have to quit with my other job. I need time for myself and recollect. I have been hearing so much about contentment and covetousness. Every Sunday, I have been playing the piano of the song "COUNT YOUR MANY BLESSING" of which it becomes a routinary, that I never meditate on the lyrics after all. It has something to do with my so called SPIRITUAL PRESBYCUSIS- a progressive loss of hearing ability. Yes i am  hearing it with my auditory organs, yet I do not take HEED with my HEARTS.

So, without much dilly-dally, I'll be giving you the main point of getting yourself rich quickly in just few minutes. All you have to do is to  do simple counting. It's very basic even preschooler can do it. Early morning, just do the counting-counting of your blessings.  I'm sharing to you an old hym yet most neglected song of every believer. It's entitled COUNT YOUR BLESSING by Johnson Oatman Jr.

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,

Count your many blessings, name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Refrain

Count your blessings, name them one by one,

Count your blessings, see what God hath done!

Count your blessings, name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,

And you will keep singing as the days go by.

Refrain

When you look at others with their lands and gold,

Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;

Count your many blessings. Wealth can never buy

Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

Refrain

So, amid the conflict whether great or small,

Do not be disheartened, God is over all;

Count your many blessings, angels will attend,

Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Be ready to guard your heart and mind. The moment it wanders to the land of discouragement and covetousness, brace and chain it. Starting counting

1. Love. Talk to yourself. Think about your family and loved ones. Think about God, our JEHOVAH JIREH. No one can ever buy genuine love. Many Have sought after it, many have traded it for money and wealth ending up all frustrated.

2. Good Health. Think that you are still breathing and moving well. You are still alive. Try to ponder, if you are in the hospital paying so fees just to oxygenate you cells in the body. Thank God you are not struggling to catch the oxygen you need.

3. Sanity. You are still using your brain. While reading this, your neurons are still functioning well. Try to visit those in the mental hospital, then you would know how blessed you are. Your brain is a gift from God, take good care of it, because once it's lost, you'll never have the chance to retrieve your sanity.

4. Job. Well for some it's a burden. But i tell you, shift your negative mind gears to positive side. Try to look those at the street corner, those who do nothing but ask money and alms. Do you think you can survive with such activities. Instead of whining and murmuring how you superiors abuse you or use you, make the most out of your job. Pursue excellence, pray hard, give the best you can, for sure promotion will follow.

5.Beauty and Nature. Appreciate the views around you. When you go to work and school, look around feel the goodness of Earth. You are a creation of God. It's a blessing you are not part of Kingdom Animalia.

6. and so on and so forth.. and to the infinity... :) (you have your personalized long list)

No wonder the BIBLE has stated in 1 Thessalonians 5:18,

                    "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

So, the next time you are feeling low self-esteem and getting ready to throw yourself a pity-party, or are overwhelmed with your bills, and tremendous debts just remember: Get Rich Quick! Count Your Blessings! Never be wary of BEEFING UP your BURDENS, instead, BRAGGING your BLESSINGS for HIS GREATER GLORY and HONOR!
