Blessing and Curse: Talk 6 – You’re Already Blessed
builder2022-08-06T02:56:28+08:00Talk Talk 6: BO SANCHEZ: Can everybody say, “You’re already blessed.” You’re already blessed. You really are. “Bro. Bo, hindi pa. May utang pa ako. —Not yet. I still have debt. I owe someone P100,000. And I still do not have P100,000. I’m not yet blessed.” No. Let me say it again: You already are blessed. Why? Because last week, I said this— we said this together— that the greatest blessing is not money. Not things. The greatest blessing is Life with the Blesser. That’s our greatest blessing. Do you have the Blesser with you? Do you have the Blesser in your life? Yes? Then you are already blessed. Put your hand over your chest and say “I’m already blessed.” Worry Is Irrational The other thing is this: Let’s say you do owe P100,000— or even P1 million. You know what, even if the money is not yet there, we believe this— I believe this: that whatever you need to earn that money, you already have. You got to believe in that. You really do. Now, why am I talking about money? Because I am going to share a bit personally to start the message. In the past few months— this is a confession— I, Bo Sanchez, have been having worries about a challenge to my finances. Personally— thinking and worrying about my finances. When I share that to my friends, you know what they say? “Ows, ikaw? Ang yaman-yaman mo. You? You’re very rich.” Now, let me qualify that. Yes, God has blessed my finances. I share this and I teach this— because I am a financial teacher. I teach people to invest. And so, I’ve been investing — I practice what I preach. Over the past 20-plus years, God has blessed my finances by leaps and bounds. But what I’ve learned over living on this Planet for more than five decades is that worry is irrational. If you worry, you understand how many, many times, it’s not rational. It’s like if you take one step backward, you look again at the situation, you realize, yes, you have a problem, and you’re worried about that problem. Then you look at your whole life, and you say, “My gosh, I’m so blessed.” But no, the problem is there sticking like a sore thumb. I also teach people how to build many income streams. I tell people do not just have one —you need to have many. Fr. Mario was talking about this: that if you are blessed, it’s really to bless other people. So, why not be blessed more, why not earn more so that you can give more? So, I tell people to have multiple income streams so that if one fails you, you’ve got a few more. And so, I practice that. My Worries So, let me give you an idea of my worries. I have seven income streams. Four of them, I dedicate to the ministries— whatever I earn there I give and support the ministries.
