Whats The Most Effective Way To Increase YourIncome?

Today, Im starting a new 3-part series on causing yourfinances to Overflow.

My goal?

I want to see you with zero debt. I want to see you promoted in your jobs. I want to see you earn more than enough money to do

the good works that God wants you to do. I want to see you prosper in your finances so that you

can prosper the people God sends into your life.

Im not just saying these words.Im prophesying. In mymind, its a done deal. This will happen. Im declaring to youwords of blessing. If you agree with these words and receive it,then it is a done deal. This will indeed happen.

I have an announcement to make: God isnt against the ideaof wealth. In fact, He was the one who gave you the ability toproduce wealth. The Bible says,But remember the LORD your

God, for it is he who gives you the ability to producewealth(Deuteronomy 8:18)

So heres my message today:Use that ability.

Note. God didnt just give us wealth, He did something farbetter. He gave us the ability to create wealth.

I was talking to a very rich man. I asked him, If you losteverythingyour properties, cars, investmentsall your wealth

How long before you can rebuild your wealth to where it istoday?

He thought about it for a few seconds. He then looked at me

straight in the eye and said matter-of-factly, Five years.

Wow.

Heres the truth.Your real wealth isnt cash, houses, or

stocks. Your wealth is your ability to create wealth.

I repeat. Use your ability!

How Do You Create WealthNaturally?

Ill be giving a controversial talk today, so be ready to be

shocked.

There are many ways to create wealth.

But the easiest, most effective, most powerful, most prolific,and most natural way of creating wealth is to answer Gods callfor your life. This call is based on your unique, tailor-fit, God-

appointed gift that He wants you to give to the world. To me,thats the only way to create financial overflow.

I know what youre thinking.Bo, this is the height ofheresy. This is insanity. What youre saying is a sacrilege!Gods

call has nothing to do with money. Its about serving others.

Exactly! You see, a good business is not about money. Tome, business is about serving others. Business is aboutmission. Business is about blessing people. Business is about

love.

Let me give you an analogy: If you want a cup to overflow,put it directly under an open faucet. Do that and the wateroverflows in the cup. But if you put the cup on the far right or farleft, it wont overflow.

In the same way, you need to stay under the faucet of Godscall for your life. If you stay under that call, I believe that yourfinancial life will overflow. But if you stray away from your call,

you may never experience financial overflow in your life.

Let me tell you my story

It Was Under Our NosesAnd We Didnt See It


3/13

In the prehistoric era of the 1990s, I met my small teamin Shepherds Voice Publications. During the early years, we wereliterally giving away Kerygmamagazine. We reasoned that no onewould buy a religious magazine.

We need more money, I announced to our staff. We onlyhad 5 employees then.We need to buy computers. AndanApple computer and laser printer costs P300,000. Lets listdown how we can raise this money.I got my pen and paperready.

During that era, P300,000 was a gigantic amount of

moneyespecially for a bunch of poor missionaries.

One of my team members raised his hand.Ive a greatidea. Lets just rob a bank.And our problems well be solved in a

day.

Very interesting, I said, but I think well face twoproblems. First of all, my face is allergic to nylonstockings. Second, Im not sure how our readers will react if theyfind out well be publishing our spiritual magazines from prison.

How about if we just sell drugs?someone else piped up.I

heard its a very profitable business.

Oh yes, I said.But Im not sure. Imagine, ourmessengers will be distributing Kergyma and shabu at the sametimeThe products dont seem to match. Can anyone pleasethink of something legal?

Ive got a brilliant idea, one of them said.Lets produce amovie. Lets make a money-earning, blockbuster, megahit, top-grossing movie. Did you hear that Tom Cruises latest flick earned

$100 Million. But of course, instead of Tom Cruise, youll be thestar

I said, Well, I understand why youre suggesting this. TomCruise and I have some similarities. But I will only allow this if itis written in the contract that I dont do kissing scenes.

Life Will Find A Way To Repay You

We wanted to raise funds and we didnt know how.We didntknow that the answer was right under our noses: Our gift ofwriting. Our gift of editing. Our gift of putting a magazinetogether. There was no need to rob a bank or sell drugs or makea movie. Because today, Shepherds VoicePublicationssells P85Million worth of inspirational literature every single year. (Note:Were a non-profit organization, so we use our profits for

ministry.)

Let me repeat my message: The best way for you to createwealth is to answer Gods special call based on His Divinely-designated gift for your life.

Stay directly beneath the faucet!

But when you serve others with all your heart, life will find away repay you.As long as you dont prevent the financialblessings from flowing to you, youll be amazed at how yourfinancial rewards will come flowing into your life like the waves of

the sea.

Why Youre Not Prospering

But Bo, Ive been answering Gods call, serving others by

using my gift. But Ive not yet increased my income

There are two common reasons why you dont see increase:

First, wrong beliefs.

Second, wrong strategy.

1. Wrong Beliefs

Once upon a time, I thought God wanted me to be poor.Because of this, I frowned upon Entrepreneurship.

But Jesus talked about Entrepreneurship.

He talked about a man who had three servants. Beforeleaving for a journey, he gave 5 bags of gold to the first servant,


5/13

2 bags of gold to the second servant, and 1 bag of gold to the

third servant.

When the master returned, the first servant said, I invested

the 5 bags of gold you gave me; here are 5 more bags

The second servant said, I invested the 2 bags of gold yougave me; here are 2 more bags

And then the third servant said

I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth.

Look, here is your money back.But the master replied,You wicked and lazy servant!(Matthew 25:25-26)

What Im about to say isnt the main message of theparable. But its still in the story: That profit is encouraged. (AndNOT profiting is condemned.) Investing is encouraged. Businessis encouraged. Selling is encouraged. (How did those guys doubletheir investments if there was no selling involved?)

But in religious circles, its the other way around. Profit,business, and selling are frowned upon as materialistic.

Some religious leaders, however, are getting it

What Kind Of Vow Should You Make?

Last week, a priest came up to me and said, Bo, I likereading your financial books. Because your books are slowlycorrecting my thinking about money. You see, when I was in theseminary, I was taught that poverty was desirable. I was taughtpeople should be happy with poverty. I was taught that it was asin to desire to become rich. But I now realize that this kind ofthinking was for celibate priests like me, not for people I preach

to every Sunday

I couldnt agree more.

The vow of poverty is a very high call from God for a tinysegment of the Churchsuch as celibate priests and nuns. Its avery heroic call. But this segment is not even 0.0001% of the


6/13

worlds population. (There are only 400,000 priests and 800,000

nuns around the world.)

To the 0.0001% of the population (religious celibates), Godis calling them to the vow of Poverty. To the 99.9999% of theworld (thats us), God is calling us to the vow of Generosity. Thevow of Surplus. The vow of Abundance. The vow of Prosperity.

I believe that God is calling you to give your special gift tothe world and receive financial abundance in returnso that you

can be a channel of blessing to others.

Yes, you have a special call in your life.

God has given you a special call to serve others in a specific

way. Perhaps your special gift is to cook. To manage. Tolisten. To sing. To dance. To draw. To design. To compute. Toplan. To repair. To organize. To sell.

If you want to increase your income, answer Godscall. Because this is themost naturalway for you to earn a profit.

Profit Is Sacred

For many people, business and profit are dirty words.

Friend, banish this kind of thinking or money wont come.

For me,profit is sacred.

Why? Because the purpose of profit is to servemore. Because with profit, you can improve your product. Andyou can create more products. And you can even create newbusinesses to serve more people.

Let me give you an example.

In 1990, when we were giving away Kerygmamagazine forfree, we only impacted at most 6000 readers. But when westarted selling the magazine, we gained the financial muscle toreach millionspeople with Gods Lovethrough our magazines,books, internet, TV, Radio

I Was Poor Because I Wanted To Be Poor

Perhaps you were like me in my early years as amissionary.

I didnt want money.So money didnt come to me.

My special gift is to speak and write. That is Gods specialcall for my life. But for almost 20 years, even if I was using bothgifts to the hilt, I remained poor. Why? Because I wanted to bepoor. All those years, I blocked the flow of financial blessings that

God wanted to give me. Because I defined myself as poor.

But when I hit 30 years old, when I knew I was going to getmarried, I hit my turning point.

I realized I couldnt tell my kids, Children, be happy that Icant send you to school because your Daddy has no

money. Were suffering for Jesus

Also, I saw so many needs in the ministry, I wanted to be ahelp, not a burden. My favorite fantasy was seeing a ministry

need and pulling out my wallet to fund it.

For the first time in my life, I decided to become richfor

the purpose of blessing more people. I set a goal. I committedmyself to make it happen.

Which brings me to the second block to creating wealth

2. Wrong Strategy

I threw away all abandon and dove head first into all sorts ofbusinesses. I sold engine oil, memorial plans, squid balls, icecream, and hotdog sandwiches. Thankfully, most of these

businesses failed gloriously.

Yes, I removed my wrong thinking.

But I was still poor! Because I had the wrong strategy.

After praying to God asking Him how I could prosper, Irealized none of these businesses were using my special


8/13

gift. (Goodness, what did I know about engine oil and memorialplans?) None of these businesses were about Gods special call

for my life.

Dont Compare Yourself With A Few

Super EntrepreneursLet me insert this here.

Sometimes, we meet a few rare individuals who are good indiverse businesses. So we think anyone can be like them. Thatsnot true.

I think these are mutants. Like X-Men. (My Business Mentor,Dean Pax Lapid, is one such super mutant. He builds one

business a year in the most diverse fields. He has a fuel business,an IT business, a vegetable farm, a convenience store)

These people are fantastic in any business because Gods

special gift to them is business.

But for the rest of us, especially if youre starting out, dontstray away from your God-designated gift that He wants you to

give to the world.

Now its also true that as you grow as an entrepreneur, youcan do more varied things. (This year, Ill be starting a newbusiness selling USB drives. That has nothing much to do with mygift of communication.) But it takes time to do this.

So let me say it again: Stick to your gift.

Find A Monetizing Strategy For Your Gift

If I stuck with my gift (communication), I had a dilemma.

I only used it for ministry. And for most of my life, I gavetalks for free. How could I monetize my anointing? (Asking thatquestion felt so scandalous to me.)

It seemed impossible.


9/13

But I didnt give up. I kept asking the question, Lord, give

me a monetizing strategy for my gift. Help me to earn money.

What the Bible says is true:Ask and you shall receive.

I studied. I read. I got mentors. I became a sponge. Andsoon, I found the right strategy to monetize my special gift.

At that time, companies were already inviting me to speak.

And when they asked me to speak, they also asked for myspeakers fee.So I told them my usual answer: Im free. Andthey were happy.

When I did speak in their corporate events, usually held in

5-star hotels, I noticed that they paid everyone. They paid thehotel, the director, the lights, the sounds, the waitersexceptme!

So I wonderedperhaps I could charge.

I still preached for free in prayer groups and inchurches. But if big companies invited me, I charged an arm and

a leg.

I first charged P10,000 per talk. I noticed the companieswho were inviting me were still smiling. So I charged more.

I charged P20,000. And they were still smiling.

So I decided to charge P50,000. They werent smiling

anymore. But they still kept on inviting me.

Today, I charge P75,000 for a talk and P150,000 for an out-of-town engagement. Some companies stopped calling me. Butsome companies still invite me. (Note: I donate my speakers

fees for the ministry. I earn enough from my own businesses formy personal needs.)

Whats my point?That answering Gods special call for yourlife is the easiest, most effective way to create wealth for yourlife. You just have to find the right monetizing strategy.

Employee Or Entrepreneur?

Ive got news for you: Youre an Entrepreneur.

Even if you have a job, youre still an Entrepreneur.

How come? Because youre the CEO of your own business,(1) where your service is your main product and (2) your firstcustomer is the owner of the company that youre working for.

The earlier you act this way, the more prosperous youll be.

Today, I want you to forget about job security. Theres nosuch thing as job security anymore. Youre only as good as yourlast performance.

But thats okay!

Because the best employee has an entrepreneurialmindset. Even if hes a janitor, he believes that hes part owner ofhis company. In Tagalog, may malasakit. And so hell constantly

find ways to save costs and earn profits for his company.

Guess what: That guy wont be a janitor for long.

Because if his company wont promote him, someone else

will. You cant put a good man down forever. The laws of thisuniverse will see to it that hell get rewarded.

Money isnt coming? Keep serving.

Today, I run 12 businesses.

Hear me out: Its not about the money!Its about serving

people. Its about giving my life to them and blessing their lives.

My 12 businesses are just 12 ways of serving others. But asI serve others, money comes to me. Because Ive found 12monetizing strategies for my gift.

I repeat: Life will find a way to repay you.

As you serve others with your all, and you remove wrongthinking and wrong strategies, the universe will come kneeling


11/13

down at your feet, pleading with you, Please, I beg you, receivethese financial rewards

Let me share with you now 3 important Things To Do that

we can pick up from the parable of Jesus above

1.Risk Your Gold

Dont be like that third servant.Dont bury your gift. If youdont use it, youll lose it.

Go out into the world and share your gift.

Whether in a job or in a business.

Yes, its a risk.

People come up to me all the time and ask me, But Bo, I

dont know my gift.

Let me tell you why many people dont know theirgift. Because discovering your gift requiresexperimentation. Trying out. Going out on a limb. Risking!

But Bo, what if people will reject my gift? What if people

will laugh at me, ridicule me, call me names?

Can I assure you? Heres my 100% guarantee: You will be

rejected. You will be laughed at. You will be ridiculed. You will becalled dirty names.

But therell be enough people who will accept you. Therellbe enough people who will like your product. Therell be enoughpeople who will love you and become your lifetime customer. Andtherell be enough people who will be willing to pay you for your

service.

2. Reproduce Your Gold

If you dont use your gift, you lose it. But if you use it, you

reproduce it!


12/13

Dont be content with just maintaining the special gift that

God has given you.

Develop it. Expand it. Multiply it. Make it grow!

Be the best worker, electrician, engineer, mechanic, cook,speaker, writer, accountant, saleslady, farmer that you can

become.

And do you know the best thing about growing? You inspireothers to grow as well.

Being the leader of my community, I realized my financesare the lid to my members finances. Because I grew financially, I

inspired many of my members to grow financially too.

Imagine for one moment that I was buried in debt. Imagineif I was broke.A broke person cant lead another broke person toabundance. As Casey Graham would say, you wont often hear a

fat, 350-pound, preacher preaching against the sin of gluttony.

Friend, your finances may be the lid of the finances of thepeople around you. For their sake, grow your finances. Be amodel others can follow. By your example, you can inspire othersto grow in their finances too.

3. Return Your Gold

I find this detail in the story shocking.

The first servant was given five bags of gold. When he usedit for business and made a profit of five more bags, he returnedall ten bags to his Master.

The second servant was given two bags. And he did the

same thing: When he earned two more bags, he also returned allfour to his Master.

They gave back both the principal and the interest.


13/13

Message? You dont own your wealth or the ability to createwealth. You dont own your special gift, talents, and skills. All areborrowed from God. Youre merely a caretaker.

At the end of the day, we remain humble before Him.

Always ask the Owner how He wants you to use His wealth.

And you will be at peace.

May your dreams come true,

Bo Sanchez
