I'm about to have a conversation with you about the most important topic that anyone can talk to you about in business, in my opinion, and that is how to cash in on content and content creation secrets for 2024. Because the quality of your life will be in direct proportion to the quality of your content. And when I say the quality of your content, I know what you're saying. You're thinking, well, oh, he's talking about my social media posts. Oh, he's talking about my YouTube channel. Oh, he's talking about my Instagram and my Twitter and my this and that.
There are so many more levels of content than that. When you figure out what they are and you start getting those things fixed, like stuff in your life is about to line up. So it tells us in John chapter 1. Starting with verse one, it says, in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
In him was the life, and the life was the light of men, and the light shined in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. Wrap your mind around this. You are made in the image of God.
I am made in the image of God. God, the first thing he tells us about himself, is not that he is holy, though he is holy. God is also righteous, but that's not the first thing he tells us about him. He is also omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. None of those are the first thing God tells us about him.
If I say God is, somebody's gonna say good, and somebody else is gonna say all the time. But those are not the first thing God tells us about him. I might say God is, you might say love.
While God is love, that's not the first thing he tells us about himself. The first thing that God tells us about God, by the way, before I even tell you what it is. Usually, the first thing you tell someone about you when you meet them is the most important thing you want them to know about you. It's not the most important thing about you, but it's the most important thing they need to know about you when they first meet you. How many of y'all picking up what I'm putting down?
Wave at me. And so what we have to do is we have to understand what is this first thing God tells us about himself? Well, the first thing God tells us about himself is in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.
Now, I don't know what your mind is. mind does when you read that, but my mind says, well, why in the world would he do that? We know he didn't do it because he needed a world. Well, but Myron, heaven is God's throne and earth is his footstool. Did he need some place to sit down where his feet tired? No.
So why did God create the heaven and the earth? I can only think of one reason. Because he is creative and therefore it is his nature to create.
So the very first thing that God tells us about himself is is that he is creative. Wrap your mind around it, let it soak in, let it marinate. The first thing God tells about himself is that he's creative.
Now, the first thing he tells us about us, Genesis chapter one, verse 26, is that he created us in his image and made us in his likeness, which means he created us to create stuff and he made us To make stuff. The very first thing God says, in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. So, I'm going to give you a little foundation here. The first thing God created when he created everything was he created creation. The sun, the moon, the stars, the grass, the trees, the water, and stuff.
That's creation. Then he had, he delegated. Creation to manufacture creatures.
And the land brought forth the land animals. And the water brought forth the fish and the fowls. Are y'all tracking? But God did not delegate the creation of man to the land or the water. That's how I know the earth ain't my mother.
God said, I'm going to do this one myself. Hey, creation. Hey, creatures. Y'all sit back and pay attention. Watch this.
And it says that God created man in his own image and the image of God created him male and female. female created he them. Them who? Them Adam, Aleph, Dalet, Mem, the man. And Adam is really an interesting word.
It's not just a name. It is a description. Aleph, Dalet, Mem. It tells you what a a man is. It tells you what a woman is.
Aleph, the letter Aleph is the letter that represents God. It's the beginning. It's the first letter in the word Elohim. It's the first letter in the word El Shadow. Aleph, it represents God.
The modern Aleph, it's actually, it means the head of the ox, the strength of the ox. But it's drawn. In fact, I'm going to go draw it for you so you can see what I'm talking about. So the Aleph is, the Aleph is. is written like this. So there are two He letters that make up an aleph.
The yod and the vav. And what's fascinating about Aleph, when God is creating man, he's gonna make man in his own image, he spells, he makes the man, which is Aleph, Dalet, Mem. So the letter Aleph is the letter that represents God. It's interesting to me that the letter that represents God is made of two yods and a vuv. And a yod is a hand and a vuv is a nail.
And that's the letter that represents God. But then there's Dalet Mem. So we have... we have God-likeness in us. Animals don't have God-likeness in them.
Trees don't have God-likeness in them. Stars don't have God-likeness in them. But we have God-likeness. We are made in the image of God. And then we have daladmem.
And daladmem, that is a word, this is a He word, and it is the word blood. So what is blood? Blood is the fluid that carries the life of the flesh. Yes.
So when we see blood, we know there has to be some flesh, because if there ain't no flesh, there can't be no blood. How many of y'all track it? And so what is a man? A man is a godlike creation or creature with flesh and blood. That's what a man is.
And God made us in his image. Now, what's interesting to me is, well, there are a whole lot of things that are interesting to me right now. But God made creation to do what creation does, and it does it, but it can't do anything else.
God made creatures to do what they do, and they do it, but they can't do anything else. God made man to be progressively productive. See, we can do, like a horse can only do what a horse could do the first day a horse was created.
Horses don't build horse trailers. People do. Dogs don't build dog houses. People do. Birds can build nests, but they can't build a house.
They can just build a nest someplace to sit down. But human beings, we can build a house. that has us lounging in the lap of luxury.
It's mind-blowing what we can create. Dogs and cats, chimpanzees and birds and fish can't create stuff to make their lives better and make the lives of others in their species better, but we can. Why? Because we're made in the image of God. We were created to create.
Are y'all tracking? We were created to create, but we weren't just created to create. We were also created for connection.
See, God created man, I believe, because he couldn't connect with creation and he couldn't connect with creatures because they couldn't even appreciate who he was. So God said, I'm going to make somebody who's like me that's not me. And they'll be able to connect with me.
And then man severed the connection when man sinned. And then God said, I'm going to restore the connection with my contribution. I'm going to give my son. And then he's going to restore the connection. And so you're saying, what does all this have to do with?
with content creation. I know that's what you're thinking, because that's what I would be thinking. But I'm about to tell you.
Because Genesis chapter 1, I don't know if you've ever thought about this before. Genesis chapter 1 lets us know that God created the heaven and the earth. So Genesis chapter 1 could have been Genesis chapter 1, verse 1. If all God wanted us to know was that he created the heaven and the earth in Genesis chapter 1, it would have only needed to be verse 1 in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. But it didn't stop there. He goes on.
on to start giving us all this detail. And the earth was without form and void and darkness upon the face of the deep and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, let there be light.
And there was light and God saw the light that it was good. And like, in the evening, in the morning with the first day. And so like, why are you doing that? And then he goes into day two and then he goes into day three. Like, what are you doing?
What he's doing is he's showing us, God is showing us not just that he created the earth, but he's showing us the light. and everything that's in it. He's showing us how he created the earth and everything that's in it, so that when we get ready to create what he put us here to create, we can follow his pattern.
Are y'all tracking? Now, this is about to get juicy, because Genesis chapter 1, verse 1, In He, mirrors John chapter 1 verse 1 way more than it does in English. Because in Genesis chapter 1 in English, there are 10 words.
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. In Genesis chapter 1 verse 1 in He, there's There's seven words. But even though there are fewer words, there's a word that's repeated twice in Genesis chapter 1, verse 1 in He that does not exist in the English language.
And it is the word et, aleph, tav. And the aleph, tav, aleph, tav, I almost forgot how to write a tav. Okay, so aleph, tav. Aleph is the first letter in the He aleph bait.
Tav is the last letter in the He aleph bait. This is, so. By the way, the letter Aleph represents God. The letter Tav represents a cross or a covenant.
That's the whole thing. God's covenant. Now, the Aleph Tav is, it's a definite direct object marker in He grammar.
What does that mean? If I tell you, it doesn't matter. But it's something that you have. It points to the object of the verb. And so it's included in Genesis chapter 1, verse 1. But it also, because it's the Aleph Tav, it's not just what it is, et.
It's also the He Aleph. When Jesus said, I am the Alpha and the Omega, Jesus was He. He wasn't Greek.
He would have said, I am the Aleph Tav. What is the Aleph Tav? The Aleph Tav is the He Aleph.
It's the entire He Aleph. He Aleph. It's the letters that the words are made from. I was showing Dalet yesterday a book in my office called The Origin of Speeches.
And... It's a book that was written by a He rabbi that shows how every language in the world is a derivative of ancient He. Now, all that to say this.
In John chapter 1, verse 1, it says, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God, and the Word was with God. So what do we learn from that? What do we learn from that, and what do we learn from the Al-Atah?
Here's what we learn. The thing that God used to create everything out of nothing is content. God created the existential nature of the entire universe with content.
And he has ordained that we create the experiential nature of our world. with our content. So if you desire to improve the quality of your life, you must improve the quality of your content.
Myron, what are you saying? I'm saying not only do words matter, words are matter. By faith, we understand that the world's, plural, were made, were framed, rather, by the word of God so that things which are seen world one, that's actually world two, we're not made of things which do appear. That's world one. And so we literally have the ability with our words to improve the quality of our lives.
If the quality of your life is not the quality of life you desire, I promise you it's because the quality of your words is not the quality that can produce the life you desire. Now, when I'm talking about your content, I'm talking about communication. We talk about, you see how it's all layered?
The four levels of value. The lowest level of value is implementation. The next level is unification.
The next level is communication. The next level is imagination. And God has, in his sovereign wisdom, created a universe. and a world in which, by communication, in which communication makes your experience in the world better. Now we have three different directions of communication.
We have our vertical communication. That's our communication with God between us and God. Our vertical communication is communication that goes up when we pray and it's communication that comes down through God's word. Are y'all tracking? It comes down, God's spirit teaching us, the spirit of truth teaching us the word of truth.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that the spirit of God is going to teach you something different than the word says. A lot of people think their emotions are the spirit guiding them. If he ain't guiding you with truth, it ain't the spirit of God.
Okay. So we got our vertical communication. Then we have our internal communication.
That's the stuff I say to myself. And a lot of people, their vertical communication is epic. They have great conversations with God.
They even sometimes let God have great conversations with them. And then when they start talking to themselves, they get all jacked up. Man, you are so stupid. You must be some kind of idiot. I can't believe you'd do something that dumb.
And this is how you talk to yourself. You wouldn't let somebody else talk to you like that. But you'll talk to yourself like that.
But see, when I'm talking to myself like that, when I'm telling myself that I'm not enough, and maybe I'm not smart enough, maybe I'm not handsome enough, I'm not pretty enough, I'm not tall enough, I'm not short enough, not dark enough, not dark enough, not light enough, not black enough, not white enough, whatever the thing is, I think is missing. What I am actually doing when I'm talking to myself wrong is I'm accusing God of making a mistake. Yeah, you did good when you made them, but I don't know what you was thinking when you made me.
What was you thinking? God, were you distracted when you made me? And that's how we think of ourselves. We think of ourselves less than God thinks of us.
How dare you? So basically, let me make sure I got this right now, baby. Basically, what you're telling me is your standard is higher than God's.
Yeah, I'm just not smart enough. Really. So God made you to do a job and then didn't give you enough smarts to do it. Really? That's where he messed up.
You say, Myron, are you being sarcastic? You can't tell. There's internal communication. When I watch how people talk to themselves. I'm just gonna be I'm gonna shoot straight with you.
It blows me away that they live that long. I'm thinking to you How do you make it this old? And you talk to yourself about yourself like that Your internal communication is jack sideways You don't have one good word to say to yourself. And then, because you don't know how to, like your internal communication is jacked up, you look around at other people and you think they see you the way you see you. But the only reason they see you the way you see you is because the way you see you is who you show them, and then you make them see you the way you see you because that's how you act.
Mmm, I wish I had some help in here. Oh, Lord. I am telling you, God didn't mess up when he made you. He didn't mess up when he put you in the family he put you in.
He didn't mess up when he put you in the career he put you in. He didn't mess up when he gave you the husband, the wife, the spouse, the friends, the whatever. God wasn't messing up. He was preparing you for the thing he already has prepared for you. And when you keep resisting it, all you're doing is prolonging.
the inevitable because what you resist persists and what you embrace becomes grace and grace is a gift. And see, the problem is you're like, God, I don't want that gift. Can you give me a different gift? Can you give me that? I like their gift, but I don't know what to do.
Give this one to them and give that one to me. See, our internal communication, the content that we say to ourselves stops us from fighting the giants and building the arks and ascending the thrones that God has already prepared for us. And we're walking around living a life of less than because we think God's wrong how he sees us and we spend our whole life trying to get God and other people to see us as broke down busted half disgusted as we do. Hola.
In the beginning was the word. Hey. What did God say about Christ?
This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. Guess what? Jesus didn't disagree with him. No, no, no, not me. Oh, stop it.
Isn't that what we do? We deflect. We diffuse.
We distract. No, no. Like, can you just go ahead and be okay with the fact that you are great because you're made in the image of a great God?
Can you just go ahead and just, like, it's okay. And you ain't bragging, you just recognizing. I got on a, I guess I was going to say red. I have on a maroon suit.
Is it maroon? Is it red? Something like that. Okay, maroon.
I got on a maroon suit. I ain't bragging. It's just a maroon suit and some brown shoes. You're so pride. I can't believe you said you have on brown shoes, but they brown.
I know I'm great. Don't hate me because you don't know you great yet. Here's the difference though. I know I'm not great because of me. I'm great because of whose image I'm made in.
I'm great because when I yield to him, my assignment yields to me. And so, we got to get our internal communication right, y'all. We got to stop telling ourselves stuff about us that God didn't tell us about us. This is so good.
But Myron, I just can't accept myself. I know, that's because your standard is higher than God's. So either he has to raise his standard or you're going to have to lower yours. Am I talking too fast?
What does that mean? The scripture tells me that I'm accepted in the beloved. So God can accept me, but I can't accept me. Why?
Well, my standard clearly must be higher. We, like, just yield to the king and stop beating yourself up because of the lie-dentity that the cultural, hypnotic, societal mechanism has forced upon you. Some of y'all think, what's a lie-dentity? That's all the stuff everybody who didn't believe in you told you you were not your entire life.
You ain't smart enough. You ain't strong enough. You can't run fast enough. You don't play basketball good enough.
You don't play golf good enough. You don't play the piano good enough. You ain't pretty enough. You ain't this enough.
You ain't that enough. Oh, you got me confused with somebody else. I am more than enough. Isn't that why people don't take action?
All the stuff they say to themselves, they talk themselves out of the assignment that God gave them. And then, so we got our vertical communication, we got our internal communication, and then we have our... horizontal external communication, what we say to other people. What we say, the content that we create for the people around us and the people around the world is going to be directly impacted by our vertical communication and our internal communication. Like, this ain't going to be great while this is not right and this is all jacked up.
It can't be. It all has to match. And so, in the beginning was the word. So, I'm going to tell you the best way I know to fix your content.
Eve ready? Let me hear you say, I'm ready. I'm ready.
Okay, here it is. Commence. With content. What does that mean?
Everything starts with content. But it doesn't start with your content, it starts with God's content. People think I'm smart. You know why?
Because I discovered something as a teenager. I discovered it decades ago and I've been, man, I've been squeezing this orange for 40 years. And it's still got juice in it.
You ready? Here it is. God has the best content.
I don't have to think of anything. I don't have to conjure up any ideas, any philosophy. I've got a philosophy. I don't have a philosophy.
I've got a Bible. I don't need a philosophy. See, y'all think I'm just saying this.
I did a TEDx talk, and in five months, that TEDx talk had two million views. And I got the content from Romans chapter 6, I think either verse 17. I ain't smart enough to come up with stuff this good. I'm smart. I ain't smart enough to come up with stuff that's better than God's.
Here's the cool thing about God's content. It's not even copyrighted. Eve can use it.
Like, everybody can use it. It's like public domain. Well, the King James Version.
Public domain. Some other versions are copyrighted. But it's public domain. And I tell people I got it from the Bible, so they can know I'm not essential to the equation. I'm just carrying the message.
Guess who else can carry the message? Eve type yourself on the chest, say, I can. God has the best content. What does that mean?
Okay, so you commence with content, you begin with content. Why do I begin with content? Why do I begin with word?
Because that's how God began. In the beginning was the word. See, he commenced with, God commenced with content. If I commence with content and I commence with God's content, it has to do something better than anything else I'm going to use. Like, if I'm going to have content for my children that's going to help them turn out right, I might as well go find out what God says about being a parent.
Because God has the best content. If I'm going to build a business, I might as well go find out what God says about building a business. Why?
Because God has the best content. It's so amazing that all I have to do is say what he said. And it works!
Imagine that. But I have a question for you. How could it not work? It's both the tool and the material that he used to create everything out of nothing.
How could it possibly not work? And I'm not trying to create everything out of nothing. I don't even have aspirations at all to create everything out of nothing. I just have a desire to create something out of something. I want to create a little something more out of a little something.
And guess what I start with? I start with his word. Okay, here's what I mean when I say God has the best content.
So I'm going to give you some examples so you know. Just a couple, not a ton. I have a video on it, but I'm just going to tell you what it is. 1 Kings chapter, 2 Kings, 2 Kings chapter 4. 2 Kings chapter 4, there's seven verses about a widow. I created a, I did a video on it, but a whole coaching outline on these seven verses. Why?
So, it's a story about Elisha. You can go read the seven verses on your own. I'm not going to read the verses to you, but I'm going to tell you when I read it what I got out of it.
Y'all ready? Here it is. Y'all ready?
Okay. How to have a financial turnaround. You must first seek a turnaround.
Then you must submit to a teacher. Then you must see your treasure. It's all in there. I'm not making this up. I didn't make this up.
I just found it. Okay? Seek a turnaround.
Seek a turnaround. Submit to a teacher. See your treasure.
Select your team. Systemize your tasks. Sell your treasure. Settle your tribute.
Sustain your turnaround. In seven verses. Okay, y'all didn't get it. Psalm 23, let me give you one you're familiar with. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He restoreth my soul, he leadeth me beside the still waters. For his name's... You know the passage. thinking about the outline.
So I'm reading this one day. I'm thinking, yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Hmm, that's interesting. What's a valley? All you got to do is just treat the Bible like a school zone, not like an interstate.
What do you mean? Slow down so some learning can take place. You're in such a big hurry to get through the Bible. The Bible ain't getting through to you. That's if you're reading it at all.
I'd rather you rush to get through it to not read it at all. Okay, let's don't be confused about it. Okay, so, okay, there's a valley.
There's a valley in Psalm 23. How do I know? because it says, yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. So if there's a valley there, what is a valley? A valley is a low, narrow passageway between two mountains. So if there is a valley, in the 23rd Psalm there has to be two mountains.
Right? And I'm reading this one day, and instead of just reading it as words, I'm seeing it as a picture. And when I'm seeing it as a picture, there's this mountain.
And the mountain, I called it Mount Just Enough. Mount Just Enough for me. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. It's just enough. I've got enough contentment on Mount Just Enough.
He leaded me beside the still waters. Oh. making me to lie down in green pastures. Oh, there's comfort on Mount Just Enough. So there's enough contentment and comfort on Mount Just Enough.
And he leads me beside the still waters. That's confidence. The water's not troubled.
That's what I have on Mount Just Enough. While I'm on Mount Just Enough, living my life like it's golden, every pun intended, I wake up one morning and there's not a cloud in the sky and I look across the way and guess what I see? I see a mountain so big that makes this mountain seem like a molehill.
I see a mountain so green it makes the green here seem like gray, even for people who are not colorblind. And God says, that is what I've designed for you. When you get on that mountain, you will be living your best life, but you've got to go through the valley to get to the vision.
And I've got to leave Mount Just Enough where I'm content and confident and comfortable, and I've got to go through the valley. What's the valley? It's the valley of not enough, the valley of not enough for me, yet though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Do you notice how different the valley is than the mountain?
I'm lying down in green pastures on a mountain. I'm walking through the valley. Why? Because the valley is difficult. It's not comfortable.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Shadow? What's a shadow?
A shadow is the darkness. That is the result of something becoming between you and the light. So the valley is a place of darkness.
What does darkness typify? Confusion, fear, anxiety. Okay. A lack of understanding.
All of this stuff is in the valley. It's dark. It's difficult, but it's the valley of the shadow of death.
There's death in the valley. Death is separation. I'm separated from the comforts of Mount Just Enough.
I'm like, I didn't come, it was in there. I just read it slower. Are you on track in? And then when I come past the last tree in the garden, I see a table.
But it's not just a table. I notice it has all of my favorite food on it. And there's only one chair at this table. Well, there's two. But one chair says reserved for Myron God.
He knew I was going to make it when I thought I wasn't? I didn't do this. I didn't put this in there. Y'all track him.
And so, because the valley was dark and difficult, and there was death in the valley, he didn't just prepare my table before me, he prepared my table before me in the presence of my enemy. Which means I get to eat while they watch me eat while they starve. The haters, you're worried about the haters. God prepared your table before you in the presence of your enemies.
The enemies don't go away, they just don't get to sit at the table with you. Then when I'm done eating, God said, okay, it's time to climb the next mountain. And the first thing that happens, you know, I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
I will fear no evil for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou anointest my head with oil. The first thing that happens is God anoints my head with oil. And anointing is for an appointing.
And then I begin to ascend. I'll anoint my head with oil. My cup runneth over. This is not just the mountain of anointing.
It's the mountain of abundance. I like what B.R. Lakin used to say. He said, I love to see a brother get a blessing.
When brother cup runs over, brother saucer gets a little. Amen. On Mount just enough, you are blessed enough to be blessed.
But on Mount more than enough, you're blessed enough to be a blessing. My cup runneth over, surely goodness and my cup runneth over, for thou art with me. This is the mountain of abiding. The branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in the vine.
No more can you except ye abide in me. This is Mount More Than Enough. I went from Mount Just Enough through the Valley of Not Enough to ascend Mount More Than Enough. more than enough for me.
This is the place where I've got more than enough joy to be joyful. This is where I've got enough joy to spread joy. This is where I've got more than enough encouragement to be encouraged.
This is where I've got enough encouragement to be encouraging. This is where I've got more than enough wealth to pay my bills. This is where I've got more than where I got enough wealth to pay somebody else's bills and not have to think about the money. Hey, guess what? I didn't create any of that content.
I just commenced with God's content. By the way, I think y'all probably know this already. I could do this all day because I've been studying the Bible since I was 17. I'm 62. That's at least five years.
You say, Myron, what are you saying? Anybody can do that. Read the Word. Meditate on the Word.
Ask God, the author, to teach it to you. Your content... will make you famous beyond your ability to make you famous.
It'll make your fame spread around the world. Not that that's the goal, because it's not the goal. I would really rather, we'll keep it real, I'd rather not be famous. I'd just as soon go places and the only people that know me are the ones I know.
I don't like it when people around me and they know me and I don't know them. Because I don't know what they're up to. Especially in Florida.
Florida, man, is at large in Florida, y'all. But guess what? I'm going to get there in a minute. So you commence with content.
In the beginning was the word. Start there. Start with the word. Let your day start with the word.
Let your business start with the word. I built a business. And I'm not...
You're so... rich, you're, I'm just a dude doing a thing, but I commenced with content. I built a multi-million dollar business based on King Solomon's business model that I found in the Bible.
Just did what he did. Guess what? Thousands of years later, it ain't tired, it still works. Who knew?
God knew, Solomon knew. Okay. The beginning was the Word, the Word was with God.
Oh. So not only do I want to commence with the Word, I want to stay connected with the Word. The Word wasn't just in the beginning, but the Word was with God. Stay connected with God's content. I really pray and hope that this is hitting you like it is hitting me in the word this is the sauce and what's cool is God tells you if you're gonna be a wife how to be a good wife God tells you you're gonna be a husband how to be a good husband God tells you're gonna be a parent how to be a good parent God tells you're gonna be an entrepreneur how to be a good business person He tells you if you're going to be a friend, how to be a good friend, how to be a good son, how to be...
God tells us in his word. If I do it his way, it has to work. Why? Because God's word is truth.
Oh yeah, I got time to show what truth is in a minute. I'm going to show what truth is in a minute. So I begin with content. By the way, I would recommend that you go and watch all of my videos that I've done in the past on content creation where I even go into even more detail, okay, about content creation. Because I know my content lands different.
But I also know why it lands different. It lands different because it ain't mine. Yeah, it ain't mine.
I'm just representing up in here, right? I'm not even trying to pretend it's mine. I don't even want anybody to.
They think it's mine. Why? Because then they're going to find out it ain't mine. Then they're going to know I'm a liar.
So I might as well just tell the truth. Well, this ain't mine, y'all. I got it from the Bible.
So when you see it, you're going to, oh, my son tried to act like he made that up. He didn't do that. He didn't do that. Okay.
So you commence with the word. And then you stay connected to the word. In the beginning was the word.
And the word was God. The word was with God. And the word was God.
Oh. So I stay connected. congruent with the word. This is not something I do. The word is not something I do.
The word is something I become. I become his living epistles. We become his living letters. I let the word become me.
So my hands do what the word tell my hands to do. And my eyes do what the word tells my eyes to do. And my feet tread the paths the word tells them to tread. Are y'all picking up what I'm putting down? So I commence with God's content.
I stay connected with God's content. And I become congruent with God's content. So word, like if you cut me, I bleed word.
When I cry, my tears are word. When I laugh, my laughter is word. Like I saturate my life. with word, with God's word. But guess what happened?
I'll tell you in a minute. Remind me to tell you about Joshua 1.8 and Psalm 1 when I get to the end of what I'm telling you right now, in case I forget where I was going. Okay.
Because I do that sometimes. And don't judge me. Because you're going to be, just keep on living, you're going to be 62. Okay. So, so, so, so, so stay congruent with the word. the word.
In the beginning was the word, the word was God, the word was with God, the same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him. Let all of your creations be created in accordance with God's content.
So I create with God's word. You know what? I found in 1 Kings chapter 10, I found a bunch of stuff, but one of the things I found is King Solomon was a consultant to his contemporaries.
He consulted other monarchs. So if King Solomon is consulting monarchs, and by the way, it tells us that the Queen of Sheba paid him 120 talents of gold plus other stuff, just 120 talents of gold. That didn't do anything for me. I don't know about y'all, but I read about 120 talents of gold, and I'm like, okay, okay.
How much is that $16? I don't know right so I had to go find out how much a talent was then I had to go do the conversions and do the math and I found out that just the gold that the Queen of Sheba paid Solomon in today's dollars would be 253 million dollars for one call it's a consultation So guess what I did? I started consulting people who do the same thing I do and charging them a lot of money.
I haven't gotten up to 253 million yet, but we up to a million. We on our way. And he's not just a consultant to his contemporaries, but he was also a communicator to crowds. Because all the monarchs that paid him, they sent their people to learn from Solomon.
So that when they started running their kingdom like Solomon ran his, the people wouldn't rebel. But guess what? He didn't let them come. to his seminars for free. He charged them.
So guess what I do? I'm a communicator to crowds. And if they want to come, they got to pay. And if they don't want to pay, they don't get to come.
They can stay home. Why you do that? It's in the Bible.
Then it says, They paid him a rate year by year. He didn't just charge them once. Solomon was bad to the bone.
You want some more of this, you got to pay again. He was the king of continuity cash flow. I said, I'm going to build my business based on these three things.
I'm going to build my business based on consulting my contemporaries, communicating to crowds, and having continuity cash flow. I found it in the Bible. By the way, when I was broke, I started.
In fact, 2021 to 2023, we were on the Inc. 500 fastest-growing businesses in America, Inc. 5000 fastest-growing business in America, and we were in the top 10%. We were number 427 out of 5,000 businesses. It's the fastest growing business in America. And the only reason we weren't hired is because I only worked part-time.
Why? God's content. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God.
The Word was with God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.
Now, I said I'm going to tell you a couple things, and I am. My success is not confusing to me. Because when I was a teenager, I was 17 years old, started going to a Christian school. One of the things that they did every morning is they made us read a passage of Scripture out loud every day of the school week for a month.
We read the same passage. The very first one was Psalm 1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the Lord.
law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters that bringeth forth his fruit in his season. His leaf also shall not wither, watch this now, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
And I ask myself the question, what if that's true? Think of what I found out. It's true. The next month, the passage was Isaiah 55. Seek ye the Lord while he may be found. Call ye upon him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. And let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him. And to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my ways are not your ways, saith the Lord. neither my thoughts your thoughts but as the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways my thoughts and your thoughts but as the rain cometh down watch this now and the snow from heaven and it watereth the earth and make if it bring forth and bud the rain comes down from heaven and the snow comes down from heaven waters the earth and makes it it doesn't suggest to the earth that it brings forth and bud it makes it do it you that it may give seed to the sower, that's production to the producer, and bread to the eater, that's consumption to the consumer.
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth. and it shall accomplish that which I please and it shall prosper in the thing, it shall prosper in the thing where unto I sent it. Dear Lord, please bless me. You got here too late to pray that prayer.
The blessing's in the book. If you want to be blessed, get the book in you. God, please bless my finances.
Why are you asking him that? He already did that. But it's in the book. See, but you don't want to look in the book. You just want a free hookup.
Just hook me up, God. Hook me up. God said, I hooked you up with a book.
Now go look in the book. My finances, just do financially what it says in the word. Y'all picking up what I'm putting down.
Just do what the content says. Now, I want you to notice something. It says, as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and it watereth the earth. Now, when I read that, I get really, really excited. That combined with he should be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters.
I get all excited because I see all of the metaphors that are more than metaphors. Because... The economic infrastructure of the world is not a pie.
A pie does not represent economy. If a pie was a good representation of the economic infrastructure of the world, God would have put Adam and Eve in a bakery. But he didn't. He put them in a garden. Why do you put them in a garden?
Because when you eat the fruit, when you consume what is to be consumed in a garden, you expose the seed, which has the potential to produce more. So consumption creates production. Are you all tracking?
So you getting what's yours doesn't keep anything from anybody else because God created an ever-expanding universe. Not a static universe, not a constricting universe, but an expanding universe. Because if an apple is a seed, apple has six seeds, you can plant six seeds, you don't get six apples. You get six trees. Are y'all tracking?
Now, here's what's really interesting. God put the man in the garden. When I say the man, I'm talking about Adam and Eve.
God put Adam and Eve in the garden to be gardeners. But the interesting thing is, he put them in the garden to be gardeners because he wanted them to know they weren't just the gardeners, they were also the garden. What does that mean? Well, we plant a seed in the ground, it grows. What did Warren Wiersbe say?
Any fool can count the number of seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples. and a seed? What is a fruit?
The first thing God ever said to man is be fruitful and multiply. What's a fruit? Genesis 1 tells us a fruit is a living organism whose seed is in itself. So when God told the man, Adam and Eve, to be fruitful, he's saying, I... planted, watch this now, God planted a garden eastward in Eden.
Then he took dust from the garden and made a body and then breathed the man that he made into the body that he had formed. And when God breathed into the man, he planted an aspect of his creativity, the seed of an aspect of his creativity in the soil that is me and in the soil that is you and in the soil that is Adam. So the gardener is not just the gardener, but the gardener is the gardener. garden.
And the man's job was to protect and keep the garden. Well, the most important garden you will ever protect and keep or protect and cultivate is the garden of you. God planted the seed of an aspect of his creativity inside of you. What's your job? To make sure you water that seed of God's creativity with the word of his content so that God's word can make the soil that is you produce the fruit that he planted the seed of inside of you.
Content creation is everything. Even from God's perspective, without content, there would be no creation. I talked about Solomon. I'm going to wrap it up right here. Joshua 1.8.
I'll give you Joshua 1.8 too. It says basically the same thing that Psalm 1 says, but I'll give it to you anyway. Joshua 1.8, before the children of Israel went into the promised land.
This book of the law shall not depart from out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein. What is that saying? It's saying think about the word of God, talk about the word of God, and then take action on the word of God. You ain't just supposed to think about it and talk about it. to just be thinking about something and talking about something.
You're supposed to take action on it. And then what does it say? Then shalt thou make thy way prosperous, then shalt thou have good success.
It's not God's job to make our way prosperous. It's God's job to put the principles. Principles are God's automation. It's God's job to have the content. He's already done it.
It's our job to get the content in us. And then God says, when you do that, then you will make your way prosperous, then you will have good success. My prosperity is my responsibility. God gave me the power to get wealth.
He didn't give me the wealth so that I could have power. So now, Solomon. Here's what it says about Solomon. Right after God gave Solomon wisdom, the very first thing he did was he started creating content. Here's what it says.
Go read 1 Kings chapter 4. It says he wrote 3,000 proverbs, and his songs were 1,005. And then it tells us what his content was about. He wrote about beast and creeping things, four-footed beast and creeping things. things, and the tree that springeth forth out of the wall. What was Solomon doing?
He was teaching us uncommon lessons from common objects. Who can do that? Anybody can.
And fortunately for those of us who do, most people don't. So to those of you who are watching this video, congratulations in advance for being in the right place at the right time. But don't just hear it. Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own.
own selves. For if any man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he's like unto a man beholding his natural face in the glass, for he beholdeth himself and goeth his way in straight way, forgetteth what manner of man he was. Don't let this content creation secrets that I shared with you this morning be like a mirror you look in when your face is dirty and then you go off to work with a dirty face. Don't just hear it. Do it.
Don't just see about it. Be about it. I hope this blesses you as much as it blesses me, and I look forward to seeing you all in the next video.
Stay blessed by the best.
