+-×÷ equation to successfully be successfully rich?

As Bro Sio Yean is a book person... He searches books in bookstores and savors them just as most of the book lovers would.. As most of us would usually do. We will usually glance through the bestsellers sections and look at interesting titles with interesting covers... Then pick some of them up and read them... and if its good enough and affordable, or worth buying, we will proceed to counter and buy them. Among the books favourited, that capture people's attention nowadays are books that teaches you about wealth, making more money, duplicate your wealth and all that... Brother Sio yean would usually just read and hesitate to buy them... The reason? - They all have one common pattern...

Earn more... Spend Less... Just as he was taught the Chinese Culture way... The Chinese proverbs puts it: "开源节流" (Kai Yuan Jie Liu) literally: Open up more streams of incomes and reduce streams of spending. How does that relates to the +-×÷? let me explain...

+ (plus) increase your savings... increase in your income... Increase in praying for blessings...

- (Reduce) spendings, expenditure and so forth.. Buy only what is needed not what we want...

× (Multiply) your blessings by giving to others. The more you give, the more you shall receive. He gave an example of giving to the church where the church will diversify the benefits to the church members. Let the house of the Lord be equipped, furnished and grandiosed. Then the Lord shall uphold you.

÷ (divide) your income wisely. Proportionate to your need. share your blessings as usual...

As i often ask... is it wrong to be rich? or wanting to be rich?

Answer?- It's not wrong actually... As long as you keep the mentality of not being selfish. This is particularly important. As we become selfish, we defy Love. God is Love. From God comes our blessings. Therefore, thou shall not be selfish.

In the quest of being rich, you shall learn how to be a good manager, a good keeper, a good planner. Say if you own a house. you are to go on vacation. Who will you pass the house to? To a responsible and good manager or a simply greedy and notorious person? Same, wealth is a blessing from the Lord, If you can't manage it well, no matter how much more God is giving you, it'll be all down the drain. You just don't deserve it. Therefore, by asking for more wealth, ask for more wisdom in handling the wealth you have in hands 1st. Then eventually blessings will follow. Among the greatest wisdom God has revealed to Mankind is actually through the books of Proverbs where in the prologue itself has revealed the purpose and meaning of the books of Proverbs. May we all learn and continue to seek wisdom from God on how to better manage our wealth! God Bless!
