Kingdom Principles

Kingdom Concept #3

3. The first thing God promised Abraham was land, not heaven. The first thing God promised Moses was land, not heaven. Our big dream is to go to Heaven, while God’s big dream is for us to possess land because He created us to be kings, and all kings own property. 4. Real wealth is in the land. That’s why it’s called real estate. All other estates aren’t “real.” So many people expend all their resources acquiring “wealth” that never lasts—commodities that dissipate through consumption or are wiped out by economic depression or natural dis aster. Land never loses its value regardless of what the economy does. In fact, land almost always grows in value even during difficult times. If you want to help ensure prosperity for yourself as well as future generations, focus on acquiring real estate. There is power in land, which leads us to the next principle. 5. He who owns the land controls the wealth. Once, I was in Omaha, Nebraska, riding in from the airport, and remarked to my driver about the beauty and impressive ness of a particular skyscraper that dominated the sky line. “What is that?” I asked. He chuckled and said, “That’s the disgrace of the city.” “Why?” I asked, sur prised. He replied, “That’s the tallest building in the city, and it is owned by the Japanese.” Smart people— Kingdom-minded people—go after land. Why? 6. True wealth is in the land. It never loses its value and, in fact, almost always increases in value the longer you own it. I once acquired a small piece of land for $35,000. Several people made offers to buy the land, but I held on to it. A few years later, a wealthy businessman built a $3,000,000 estate on an adjacent piece of property. What do you think that did to the value of my land? True wealth lies in real estate.
