Someone out of the crowd said, “Teacher, order my brother to give me a fair share of the family inheritance.” He replied, “Mister, what makes you think it’s any of my business to be a judge or mediator for you?” Speaking to the people, he went on, “Take care! Protect yourself against the least bit of greed. Life is not defined by what you have, even when you have a lot.” - Luke 12:13-15 [MSG]
One of my strongest desires is to see my beloved nation, Nigeria, maximize her potentials and become not just a giant in Africa, but one of the most desirable countries in the world. I don't just desire this, I also desire to be one of those that'd make this happen and I'm here trying to imagine what Jesus would suggest to most of the developing nations like Nigeria about nation building if He comes back in the flesh to visit.
In the verses above, we can see Jesus' attitude towards growth. Jesus decided it wasn't His business to ask the man's brother to share the property with him, but can I quickly remind you that in the parable of the talents, Jesus said the master collected from the man that got one talent and refused to invest it,then gave to the main that already had 10 talents because he invested in the five talents he was given.
While we are busy ranting that our government should fairly divide our national inheritance, which is what they should do under normal conditions, the Chinese, Indians and South Africans are showing us there are untapped values right here, and they are tapping it for themselves. We complain so much about bad economic policies, I agree, but I'm curious about one thing, do these other people operate under a different economic policy in our own country? Please, enlighten me.
As a wise man I know would say, "God is a capitalist, He invests in places He'd get maximum returns". Please, it's time to use that one talent, use it, so that God will know you can be trusted with more. God Bless You!

A group of students sat in class to take a test, and as their lecturer came in and distributed the question paper, he softly announced to the class that they should be able to attempt most of the questions except question number 4 because that particular question is just too difficult.
The lecturer left the class after distributing the questions and as soon as he left, another student hurriedly came in to join the test. At the end of the test, the lecturer asked the class if anyone successfully answered question number 4 and only one hand went up, the guy who came in late. Surprised, the lecturer asked if the boy was in class when he made the announcement at the start of the test, and he got the obvious answer, no.
I don't know know if this is a true story, and I believe you must have heard it a few times already, but one thing I know is that the principle behind the story is true; be careful who/what you hear/listen to.
Twelve spies were sent to spy out the promise land, they all saw the same things, probably even discussed what they saw, but 10 of them came back with a negative assessment while just 2 had a positive assessment. Just imagine what would have happened if the leader had made his decision based on the assessment of the majority.
1John 4:1a - My dear friends, don’t believe everything you hear. Carefully weigh and examine what people tell you[MSG].
Therefore, pay attention to only those things/people who's words align with the dream you have caught from God through your Bible. Majority is not always right, God's word is. So even if it's just one person that shares that godly idea you have, that's your majority, God's side. God Bless You!
