Luke 16:9-13 (KJV)
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

It was Zig Zigler who said “Your
attitude will determine your altitude” and this is so true. So many people are
in a hurry to climb the ladder of success that they fail to pull off the
slippery shoes of bad attitude. They may be seen to be making some progress but
because their shoe has no grip they suddenly slip off and have to start all
over again. A lot of setbacks which are blamed on bad luck or witchcraft are
only the consequences of ingratitude. The word of God says “ He that is faithful in that which is least is
faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in
much” Luke 16:10 (KJV). If you know how to be grateful for every
opportunity you will open the door for more glorious opportunities. Often than not, we are the ones who determine
how far we can rise in life. Some people have not gone so far yet others around
them cannot breath. Their attitude is choking life out of others and the one
who was responsible for their lifting begin to regret giving them the
opportunity. Before they were given the opportunity they were very submissive,
diligent and productive but after the recognition they became swollen headed
looking for respect and concern about the benefit that goes with their
position. It will be a mistake for any boss or organization to lift them
higher. Don’t make your present position your last bus stop, humble yourself
and you will see that God has more in store for you.
