THE GAME OF PROFIT AND LOSS

John 6:39; 11 John 8
No man ever planned from the beginning to be a failure in life. Everyone wants to succeed in all endeavours but the game of profit and loss can or is what determine which position you find yourself. It is what determines your placement in life.

• It is what makes the difference between the man who eats at the table and he who picks the crumbs that fell from the table.
• It is what makes the difference between the master and the servant, the landlord (house owner) and the gate-man, the car owner and the driver, the employer and the employee.
• It is what makes the difference between the one who lives sumptuously and the one who lives on garbage.
• It makes the difference between the one who throws a banquet and the one who runs around banqueting houses if he can find what to bite.
• It is what makes the difference between the lender and the borrower, i.e. the creditor and the debtor.
• It is what makes the difference between a thriving businessman and a struggling one.
• It is what makes the difference between the gainer and the loser.
• It is what makes the difference between the man who lives in a mansion and the one who lives in slums.
• It is what makes the difference between the rich and the poor, the wealthy and the wretched, the affluent and the needy.
• It is what makes the difference between the benefactor and thebeneficiary.
• It is what makes the difference between assets and liabilities.

THE ATTRIBUTES OF LOSS

•   It is an enemy of height.
•   It is an enemy of the peak and pinnacle.
•   It is an enemy of greatness.
•   It is an enemy of addition, increase and multiplication.
•   It is an enemy of gain, profit and progress.
•   It is an enemy of labour.
•   It is an enemy of savings and investment.
•   It is an enemy of wealth and riches.
•   It is an enemy of hope and prospects
•   It is an enemy of optimism and expectation.
•   It is an enemy of affluence and abundant supply.
•   It is an enemy of assurance and certainty.
•   It is an enemy of enjoyment but the advocate of endurance.
•   It reduces and defeats. It is an agent of reduction and ruin.
•   It is a weapon of frustration, disappointment and despair.
•   It is an instrument of death. It is deadly.
•   It is one of the major causes of hypertension or high blood pressure.
•   It is what makes many losers.

The game of profit can make a man rise from the slums to the place of power while the game of loss can make a man decline from mansions and the seat of power to the slums.

Many great men were at one time amazed at the favourable result of their little effort and input. It is not how smart you are!
