VALUE LANE


INCREASE YOUR VALUE
Charles Kettering of General motors fame once said, “I tell my people that I don’t want any fellow who has a job working for me; what I want is a fellow whom the job has. And I want the job to get a hold on this young man so hard that no matter where he is, the job has got him for keeps. I want that job to have him in it’s clutches when he goes to bed at night, and in the morning I want that job to be sitting at the foot of the bed telling him, “it’s time to get up and go to work! And when a job gets a fellow that way, he’s sure to amount to something”.
Now you grow in wealth in proportion to the value that you add to people’s lives . The quality of your work is the deciding factor on how much your services are valued by the world.

If you desire increase in wealth, then this week, increase the value of your work. Increase the quality of products and services that you offer others. Be the best in your field. Give each assignment your best shot and you will increase in wealth. Why is the salary of a Managing Director higher than that of a gateman in a company? Well, the managing Director is contributing more value to the company than the gateman. Then how can the gateman get to increase his salary to the level of the Director’s salary? I think he should develop himself to the point where he can contribute as much to the company as the Director.

Dear beloved, you will attract wealth to yourself to the degree of the value you have built inside you. Proverbs 23:7 says, “As he thinketh in his heart, so is he “. Each of us is a living magnet. We attract success or failure, wealth or poverty depending on what we have built inside us. 3 John 2 says “Beloved I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers “.

The law of success says, “First within, then without. Today add value to yourself. Become rich inside you. Increase your skills. Develop yourself and you will rise to the top. Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds, that ye may prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God”. (Romans 12:2). The quality of our thoughts determines the quality of our lives. To increase our value therefore, we must increase the quality of our thoughts. Read books that can move you forward in your career, business, family and finances. Then associate with those who are already successful. Rub minds with them. By all means, acquire superior knowledge. Because to be more is to know more.

Finally, your actions affect your value. You increase your value through the following actions:-
(1) Your worship – when you worship and obey God, He adds value to your life.
(2) Your work – When you work, you create value. As you increase the quality of your skill, you increase in value.
(3) Your giving, it will be given back to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together shall others give to you.
You will succeed!
