We Can Prosper By a Different Set of
Rules...
A business associate of mine called me
one day very excited; his close relative
had just been elected President of their
country!
But as I listened to this London based
professional banker, I realised a familiar
story:
He was already lining up "deals" ...back
home, for himself!!
Sadly this is what having a relative or
friend in office or even as a clans man in
office means to a lot of people on this
beautiful continent of ours, Africa.
There are a lot of people who also believe
strongly that it is not possible to build
successful business in Africa, unless you
have powerful political "connections" or
are prepared to share with those who
award contracts and tenders.
This belief is still so prevalent, that many
who do it and "appear" to prosper by it
do not even realise it is wrong.
To unlock the full potential of Africa, we
have to change the way many people
think business should be done.
On becoming a Christian in 1994, this is
something that really bothered me, so I
began to pray and fast about it. As The
Lord ministered to my heart, I
determined that with faith in God, it is
possible to prosper by a different set of
rules.
We can build and operate successful
businesses in Africa without having to rely
on political power and influence. The
starting point is to first believe that it is
possible, and to commit ourselves to
follow this path no matter how difficult it
may be.
God is faithful, and if you trust Him He
will give you extraordinary wisdom and
insight to overcome the most impossible
situations that arise.
