God gives oranges but expects us to produce the orange juice. It is the person who refines a product that will always be the head (master).Countries who grow the oranges pay more for the extracted orange juice e.g. Nigeria spent 1billion naira in 2007-2008 on importing orange juice according to the minister of agriculture.
Weak Mindset - takes NO for an answer when a YES is possible. Matthew 15 v28 gives the story of the woman whose daughter was vexed with the devil- her request was turned down but she persisted and later got what she wanted.
To succeed, I must be strong minded and decisive. I should not be scared of criticism or what people will say. My decisions should not be based on present circumstances or public opinions.
The consumer mentality believes that individuals are obligated to help them e.g. my uncle should help me and the church should do this for me. In trying to relate with people, consumer mentality people find people running from them as recorded in Proverbs 19 v6-7.
