Monetize Your Contacts 3

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The place of appearance in making, maintaining and sustaining contacts that could be monetized is important. The Biblical Joseph was properly groomed and dressed to meet with Pharaoh. The Bible records that Joseph shaved – apparently they did not shave regularly in prison; that is if they had anything to shave with in prison. Do not forget that sharp objects are not allowed in prison. He also had a change of clothes from prison clothes into decent clothes that could make him presentable to Pharaoh. Please see Genesis Chapters 41 verse 14.

Ruth was instructed to shower, apply cream or oils; of course sweet smelling ones as well as wear her best garment before going to see Boaz at the threshing floor. Her appearance that night which was different from the appearance she put on while gleaning made a considerable impact on Boaz as he quickly went to settle the case of the inheritance so Ruth could become his wife.

The virtuous woman was always well groomed and regally dressed. Though she made clothes for sale and made a fortune out of making and selling clothes, she ensured that she and every member of her family including her maids were well clothed. Please see Proverbs Chapter 31.

The queen from Sheba was awed by the splendor of Solomon’s court. She took note of virtually everything and everyone in Solomon’s court and noted that God indeed blessed Solomon with unrivaled wisdom and wealth. Please read 1^st Kings Chapter 10 verses 1 to 10 and Matthew Chapter 6 verses 28 to 29.

Monetize Your Contacts 2

David was on a find and rescue mission without a clue as to how and where to catch up with the raiders who burnt down Ziklag and took hostage the women and children. As David and his men searched the wilds, they stumbled upon or I dare say God ordered their steps to a sick Egyptian slave of one of the Amalekite raiders who burnt down Ziklag. Abandoned because he was sick and too weak to cope with their pace, the young man lay helpless in the wild. Surprisingly, David and his men cared for the young man and when he was strong enough, he gave David and his men details of their raid and where the raiders were headed. With an exact description, David and his men pursued the raiders and caught up with them; and recovered everything that was stolen as well as additional bounty. The young Egyptian stuck with David.

Contacts are intangible assets that become tangible assets when they are translated into economic relationships through economic partnerships and collaborations. You can therefore monetize your contacts by creatively translating them into economic partnerships and collaborations. Your contacts include people, institutions and nations that you come in contact with, interact with on a daily basis. Over time you will come up with a huge contact list that you may actually not know how to manage to profit. In the days when business cards held sway, you probably pilled them up in a big office basket if you are an organized person; you arranged them either by names or institutions. Whichever you did, the ideal is to segment your contact base into institutions, sector by sector. Thereafter, you can have an alphabetical categorization of names for ease of calling up your contacts. This is to say that you will need a contact management system at some point. 

Pharaoh’s butler was an economic relationship to Joseph despite the fact that they met in prison. This is because the butler was to an extent pivotal to Joseph’s release from prison. The butler was the one who mentioned or recommend Joseph to Pharaoh and when Joseph was brought before Pharaoh, multiple transformations occurred. Joseph became a free man granted royal pardon. Quite significant is also the fact that he received astronomical promotions; from being a prisoner to a free man, a citizen of Egypt as well as second in command to Pharaoh. Amazing because Joseph was not an Egyptian but he was next in command to Pharaoh. In addition, Joseph had never worked in the palace before and had no connections to Pharaoh. Yet, in just one day, in point of fact, less than a day of meeting Pharaoh through the butler, Joseph became second in command to Pharaoh. This was because God gave Joseph divine contacts and fortunately, Joseph realized this and took advantage of the divine linkage. He assisted the butler and asked the butler to remember him. The butler became Joseph’s connection to Pharaoh. He was a divinely arranged contact.

It is significant to note that the circumstances under which Joseph became acquainted with the butler were not exactly pleasant. Joseph was serving an unjust prison sentence that was not defined. So there was no possible exit date from prison yet Joseph was not bitter. Therefore, when the opportunity presented itself for Joseph to be of service to the butler; he did so with joy. That singular action done without any monetary or material compensation opened the doors into Pharaoh’s court as well as final exit from prison.

Share for Profit

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

You have more than enough because God has destroyed the yoke of insufficiency. Insufficiency is a mental and spiritual stronghold with which the enemy keeps a person in a state of perpetual lack, inability to meet pressing needs because resources are always insufficient. It manifests in never having enough and there is never enough, therefore, you do not share what you have. When you do not share resources, they do not multiply and compound because you have not put any seed on the ground for God to multiply and compound.

Significantly, what makes you refuse to share is because you believe the lie of the enemy that you do not have enough and therefore what you have cannot and should not be shared. That lie is what then keeps a person in the bondage of insufficiency. Unfortunately, this is a time tested strategy of the enemy to keep people in the bondage of insufficiency.

But if you believe the truth of the word of God that God will always supply all your resources according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus, then you will always share what you have knowing that God is the One Who will always supply your needs and not necessarily the resources at your disposal. The resources at your disposal are most often seeds for sowing that should be planted to produce great harvests. Please see John Chapter 12 verse 24, Ecclesiastes Chapter 11 verses 1 to 6, Zechariah Chapter 8 verse 12, Isaiah Chapter 30 verse 23 and Luke Chapter 6 verse 38.
