2009

2009 – the year of possibilities

Possibilities in amidst the downturn.
Possibilities in amidst the price of oil coming tumbling down
Possibilities in amidst our currency losing value
Possibilities in amidst securities losing value
Possibilities in amidst Obama’s imminent inauguration
Possibilities in amidst Ghana showing the world that an African nation is serious about governance and democracy
Possibilities in amidst billionaires committing suicide and the world crying out for help.

These are interesting times, but remember ye that He that keepeth Israel never slumbers nor sleeps. God is still on the throne.

It was only this morning that someone reminded me that it was during The Great Depression when billionaires then were also committing suicide that some millionaires and billionaires were created – like the man in Idaho who ‘invented’ French fries. Oh yes. We’ll need to pray to The Creator of The Universe to open our eyes to see and take hold of the opportunities around us in this New Year.

Business Unusual
It’s not business as usual in 2009, but business unusual.

That business idea must not wait for another moment in your head. Forget sending out your CV to that corporation because you think they’ll see through your experience that you are the man for the job. Write them a business proposal bespoke to them with your idea and then attach your CV.

That business idea that needs funding and the banks are saying ‘sorry’. Look, forget the fact your securities have lost value. Pick one from your portfolio. Liquidate it and use that as capital. The returns, with careful business planning and management, will probably be greater in that investment as opposed to the stock remaining on the market and losing value.

That piece of land that you want to buy. Yes, right now is the time. Even if you bought it now and left it for one year unturned the investment will yield you bountiful reward in a year’s time.

2009: the year of opportunities.

Like David I am encouraging myself in The Lord even as I write. It’s going to be a great year. Alas, it’s got to be: I’ll be 39 on 09/09/09.

Here's to Him through Whom what is impossible with man becomes possible. Selah.

And to Him again through Whom ALL things are possible. Selah
