The Professional Principles Of Financial Prosperity

Rev. Dr. G. K. Nwatu

TEXT: 1 Cor. 9:25; Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. (NIV)

Nobody celebrates a mediocre; you must be spectacular to be celebrated. To be spectacular as to be celebrated however, professionalism is not an option. Though His divine power has given unto us all things that pertain to life and godliness; we may not make the best out of those things without playing our parts in most effective way.
The rule here is that to excel in life you must:

1.     Be a specialist in your fields. According to Napoleon Hill “There are two kinds of knowledge. One is general, the other is specialized. General knowledge, no matter how great in quantity or variety it may be, is of but little use in the accumulation of money. To excel in life, you do not have to have 1% knowledge about 100 things; but to have 100% knowledge about one thing. It is therefore easier to excel in life with 100% knowledge in one thing than with 1% knowledge in 100 things.

2.     Learn to apply your professional or specialized knowledge in the most effective way possible. Until you apply what you know, what you know will make no difference in your life. In the word of Napoleon Hill, “Knowledge is only a potential power, applied knowledge is power”.

3.     Maintain the ethics and codes of your profession. Be your best in your field—everything in life is marketable depending on the packaging! If you package your product in the best way possible in keeping to the codes and standards of your profession, you will get clients!

a.     Dress in keeping to your profession

b.     Relate in keeping to your profession

c.      Resume work or business in keeping with the demand of your field.

d.     Offer your services in most professional manners possible.

His divine power has given unto us all things that pertain to life and godliness, but we can only make them our own through what we know and through what we do with what we know.

Key Points:

a.     Nobody will value or appreciate what you know until you make what you know count through the principle of effective applications.

b.     Education is not to be measured by the correctness of your grammar or the multiplicities and weightiness of your vocabularies but by what you know and what you can do with what you know!
