So, if you're gonna hate, if you if you want to escape the poverty programming trap, you have to you have to hate. You have to hate poverty and its partners, and then you have to fall in love with the partners of prosperity. What are the partners of prosperity? The partners of prosperity are diligence. It's working like hard. The hand of the diligent maketh rich, but the slothful shall be under tribute, right? You gotta fall in love with serving other people. Do you realize all of the money that you desire right now that you don't have, it's in somebody else's pocket? They'd happily hand it over if you could provide something to them that they desired more than they desired the money. How cool is that? See, your pro your biggest problem is your your your biggest problem is you only think about solving your own problems. I think about solving other people's problems. Like I obsess over other people's problems. So, when you fall in love with the partners of diligence, you can be diligent, okay? I mean, you can be wealthy. Oh, how about this? This is one of my favorites. Business. Business is one of the partners of prosperity. Here's what it says in the New Testament, and that you study, and this is First Thessalonians, Chapter 4, verse 11 and 12. It says, and that you study to be quiet and to do your own business, working with your hands as we commanded you. Why? That you may walk honestly toward them that are without, that's talking about paying your bills on time, and that you may have lack of nothing. How many people do you know that pay their bills on time and have lack of nothing? Almost none. Can I get a witness? Right? So why? Because we're not practicing these principles and we've not fallen in love with the partners of prosperity. Another partner of prosperity is wisdom. The Bible says there's treasure and wine and oil and substance in the dwelling place of the wise. What is wisdom? Well, wisdom has some prerequisites. First prerequisite is ignorance. Ignorance is the absence of truth. The second one is knowledge. Knowledge is the accumulation of truth. The third one is understanding. Understanding is the assimilation of truth. And then finally, wisdom is the application of truth. So wisdom is an action word. It's actually doing the things that you know will work because you know they work. The wisdom that's from above is not the same as the wisdom that's from beneath. Like earthly wisdom, the scripture says, like the wisdom of this world is earthly, sensual, and devilish. What is that? It's the enemy. Like literally, the wisdom of this world is the enemy. What enemy? The world, the flesh, and the devil. Earthly, sensual, and devilish. Same thing. The wisdom that's from above is what? I want you to wrap your mind around what I'm about to say. The wisdom that's from above is first pure, then peaceable. It's not first peaceable, then pure. So the wisdom that's from above doesn't seek to get along with everybody at any cost. It stands for what's right first. And then after it's pure, then it's peaceable. Then it's easy to be entreated.
