Wealth is created in communities
As I meditated on this exciting topic on kingdom financiers I heard the Lord say to me “Wealth is created in communities” in meditating further on this I began to see that this is so true, all through the Bible and in history you see that wealth was always created in communities. You cannot do anything significant without a community. If you are doubting this look at it this way. If you were alone in the world you would die out sooner or later. Its in a community that you have children that will guarantee your future existence. But once there is more than one person there is a need for exchange and trade. God told Adam to create communities of people “Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth” Once you have communities the skills, appetites, desires, preferences become diverse and hence there is a market or place of exchange.
Definition. Wickipedia=In biological terms, a community is a group of interacting organisms sharing a populated environment. In human communities, intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, risks, and a number of other conditions may be present and common, affecting the identity of the participants and their degree of cohesiveness.
In sociology, the concept of community has led to significant debate, and sociologists are yet to reach agreement on a definition of the term. There were ninety-four discrete definitions of the term by the mid-1950s.[1] Traditionally a "community" has been defined as a group of interacting people living in a common location. The word is often used to refer to a group that is organized around common values and is attributed with social cohesion within a shared geographical location, generally in social units larger than a household. The word can also refer to the national community or international community. (Emphasis mine)
The word "community" is derived from the Old French communité which is derived from the Latin communitas (cum, "with/together" + munus, "gift"), a broad term for fellowship or organized society. (the end)
If you want to make significant wealth you need to create a community (the Jew’s, whites, Muslims and Indians have communities that they have created for this purpose even robbers, car jackers have communities) These communities have a common goal “let ensure that we survive” However Christians and black people have a challenge creating communities. This is often because of greed, pride, competition, insecurity but most of all ignorance. If we understood the power of community we would lay aside our prejudices and come together to create meaningful momentum that will change our world.
The Bible speaks of the ''common wealth of Israel’’; this is created when we come together with a common goal. It is needful that we walk in the plan of God and hear His instruction about the place of planting and operation. When you get into your set place awesome things will happen. Money will flow in a strong way. Wealth creators have a community.
Communities to create or to be a part of. Internal community, client community, supply community, banking and investment community, business community, spiritual community. Cyber communities, political communities, banking community. All these and many others are an important part of our lives as wealth creators
Often the difference between failure and success is in what you know and who you know and this is determined by the communities you are associated with. There needs to be a common cause, vision or assignment that brings these people together i.e. tower of Babel; Babylon, the Persians, Israel, the church. We want to achieve 1, 2, 3 so lets work towards it. This common goal brings us together and helps us over look the prejudices, differences, insecurities and all else that is stopping us from achieving great things. My Dad Doctor Shana once said this to us you can either be the 100% owner of a molehill or a 5% owner of a big organization. You choose the returns are different the labor or effort to get results is different. If the church could understand this we can pastor cities but we are busy fight for the same troublesome members that are changing churches every other month. Lets think big and take cities.
The four lepers became their own faith community they took risks that had great rewards for them and the rest of the nations. What is your field of interest? Who are the steak holders? (You might want to be their friends and they will share the steak) What do I need to know and do in order to penetrate this community? These principles will help us to begin to create wealth that will have a significant impact on our churches and the communities we are called to touch.
Every Business Person Should Be In a Community
Are you a part of a community that will empower you to make wealth or are you a lone ranger? What communities should you be a part of that will enhance your business or life?. The amazing thing about being in the right place at the right time with the right people is that you get the right information about what you want to do the right way and get the right results. Be a part of a community that will help you make wealth for the kingdom of God. One closely guarded secret is that wealth is created in communities, they want you to stay out and stay ignorant because they are selfish and self centered. But thank God this information is getting to you. Take action.
