Money: The Lowest Form of Prosperity

When I was growing up as a preacher's kid, we did not have much money. However, my parents never indulged themselves in "pity-us-we're-so-poor talk." Some months my dad probably didn't have more than a couple dollars in his wallet--if that, but he would go around singing this old song, "I'm richer than a millionaire just because He cares."

I thought it was a pretty corny song and would roll my eyes, but I have since discovered that what my dad was teaching me was a prosperity world view in a world with a poverty mindset.

My dad understood that prosperity comes in a variety of forms.

Prosperity is sensing that you had better slow down to a crawl going around this corner on an icy mountain. Prosperity is getting around the corner and seeing that a semi had jack-knifed across the highway and you didn't hit it! (Spiritual Prosperity)

Prosperity is growing up in a home where my parents loved each other, where we had a large extended family that enjoyed holidays together, and where old friends gathered to share great stories about forty years ago! (Relational Prosperity)

Prosperity is working on repairing the car and you get stuck and can't figure out the problem so you decide to pray about it and you wake up in the morning with the answer! (Intellectual Prosperity)

Prosperity is leaving on a 5000 mile road trip with $5 in your pocket, no credit card and returning home with every need met and no debt! (Material Prosperity)

These are all stories I watched my parents live.

Yes, we never had much money--but we were richer than a millionaire! We enjoyed prosperity in four dimensions.

Your direct sales business provides an amazing vehicle in which to experience prosperity in four dimensions. Remember, it is not about how much money you are going to make. It is about how much value you are going to bring to everyone of your prospects, clients, customers and family members. In this business we are paid commensurate with the number of people we encourage, support, believe in, follow-up with, follow-through with, and are there for.

You, too, can be "Richer than a millionaire!"
