As a real estate agent, I look at statistics and figures for property investment. This empowers me with the earthly knowledge on where the real estate market is moving in each segment and area.
But I'm first a believer, before any vocation. This means that I must live from the Spirit (faith) beyond earthly knowledge. If I live just like any other real estate agent, I am not living first as a believer.
Our works either confirm or contradict our beliefs.
As I was praying today, I saw a pot of plant that is evergreen. Various living things including birds and insects came to take from this plant. Yet this plant continues to grow and gives life regardless of how much it has been taken from.
Immediately I am reminded of Psalm 1:3.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
The rivers of water is a type of the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Life.
Because the Spirit of Life is in a believer, the tree will never wither. It stays evergreen. It can keep giving life because it has BECOME life, just like God.
God gives life to good and evil, for example, sunlight. Similarly, as a believer, good and evil can keep taking from you. But you never run out. You never run dry. Because you are LIFE.
Of course, there is only one key to have and become this LIFE. You need to search out this on your own, else you will not study the Bible.
When we become this tree, whatever we do shall prosper. It says, "WHATEVER", which means... Yep... Whatever.
In other words, your property investment goes beyond the physical into the spiritual. Because whatever you do shall prosper, whatever property you lay your hands on shall prosper.
It goes beyond statistics and figures. The LIFE of the tree in you will CAUSE the property to prosper, because you shall prosper.
Instead of focusing on statistics and facts, focus MORE on LIFE. Whether you are buying a property or helping clients to buy a property, let the LIFE in you produce the result.
This is spiritual property investment. This is beyond what your real estate agencies teach you. Yes, they have the experience but they are also biased for the sake of goals and money. This is why they keep pushing for clients to buy new projects / new condos.
You and I have the wisdom from above, which is beyond any earthly knowledge. Live like a believer, not just any agent you can easily find like any drop in the ocean. Jesus!
