Money was not the issue

[PACE]

Once we talk about some project and ministry, most of the people might think of the money matter first. But the matter is heart, perseverance, and the desire to make it.

I have preached to one church about why people stop their vision and dream too early, and we may call it “Our resolutions never last more than three days.” OR “stick to nothing.” They couldn’t persevere, and I told them money comes very late. Probably they give up so easily because of shortage of money, or because they are afraid of finance in the beginning.

I told them my own experience to make University in Kenya. I definitely needed money to complete the project. But prior to dealing with financial matters, we needed a prerequisite. It was the passion, and determination, e.g., inner drives and vision. NOT the money itself, and skill, talent, and resources.

The ultimate necessity was perseverance, enduring long-suffering, and finally money came in our hands slowly.

I continually had questions about why there were no money talks in the leadership books. I have been reading many books on the leadership recently, but there is no talk and deal with money issues, do you know why? I assume that leadership does not deal with the issue because leadership is in our individual development; that is inner development, and effective in some ways, that's why there is no room to deal with.■
