SUMMARY
WORKSHEETS
INTRODUCTION
These are difficult times indeed. Entire fortunes are being daily wiped out as the world economies go deeper into turmoil. Unemployment is rife and many people are looking to the future with distress. But that is the world economy, not God’s economy – because The Maker has equipped each of us with the means to succeed and prosper in spite of whatever is the situation in the world.
There are a few things though that we ought to get out of the way before you dive deeper into this book. It is important that we do this so that you can be able to determine what you may hope to expect.
This Is A Book.
Yes that is correct. It is not a miracle machine; and it will not instantly make you successful, just by reading it. This is just a book – containing knowledge and very little else. But, until you put the knowledge to work it will remain just a book.
This Book Is Not About Me.
This is a book about how to use proven goal setting principles in tandem with sound Christian motivational doctrine to achieve life and financial goals. It contains material from my personal experience both in secular situations and as a Christian, from success stories of other individuals around the world and also Biblical notes.
I have excluded my real identity from all parts of this book. This is important because I do not want you the reader to relate your expectation or achievement to mine.
On one part and in the off chance that we know one another, it is my wish that you do not look at what I have personally passed through and become overawed at how I have survived it all, and be able to go on to do this much, or look at what I have been able to achieve and it looks impossible to you. My experiences are specifically mine, and what has worked for me may not work for you.
However wisdom from God, and as given in the Bible works all the time. It is my wish that you eventually look up to God , and not to my experience. I offer this book merely as a guide to assist you navigate your way through some of the rough channels of life especially those concerned with finances and a choice of occupation. And even though it shows you how to create a vision that works, it does not seek to replace your God given vision.
I Have Been There .
Maybe you are at this moment thinking that you have seen so much hardship in your life and you are thinking - it is okay for him to write books ; he doesn’t know what I am going through. ; think again. I can tell you right now how wrong you are. I have passed through it before. I have seen poverty, I have been hungry, I have been homeless. I have seen rejection in all form that you can imagine, I have seen frustrations. And even at the worst time and places and in tandem with miscellaneous misfortunes, I have been in grievous need of medical attention . I have felt quite like old man Job might have been luckier, and similarly wondering what it was I had done to deserve all these. And for years on end I have lived on a main diet of the scriptures:
³⁵Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
³⁶As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
³⁷Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Romans 8: 35-37
This book is therefore also my testimony: God lifted me ; took me from a situation of extreme hunger amidst plenty and set me in the middle of a desert where I was by His own hands, well fed. Does that piece sound sensible to you ? If you’ve walked with God long enough, you’d have similarly found that He rarely make sense – but you’d better listen to him anyway .
I Have Nothing To Gain From This.
Now that may not be quite correct. What I meant to say is that I am not asking you to become a member of my church so that you can see how well I can preach. I am also not asking you to send a donation to my ministry. If this book works for you, in that my God-given ministry will be fulfilled.
What You Get Is What You Do.
This book is about rising up its depth and claiming your desired place and purpose in life. It is a bite-size book, not quite so filled with pages of action points and motivational jargon such as you have probably read in a dozen places and you are fed up with them. It is not an exotic ‘spiritual’ book filled with mantras and stuff for you to memorize and recite to yourself several times a day while standing on your head. Read it quickly at first just to enjoy it; then come back read it all over again, much slower this time – to apply it.
About The Bible Quotes
I have liberally quoted from the Holy Bible . These quotes are from the authorized King James Version (KJV) the language of which some people may find archaic. I have only used this because it is my preferred version; you should free to substitute whichever you are more comfortable with. Most importantly do read the quotes in context and directly from the Bible so that you can have a greater understanding of their meaning –for God reveals to each of us individually.
This Book Cannot Help You If You Don’t Need Help
I reiterate: what this book contains will have no more impact on than you permit it. What this means is that if you are happy enough with your life ,this book may be of no use to you. However if you are in earnest search for measurable goals, progress and achievements in your life and you earnestly able to commit yourself to that search, then, read on.
LIBERATE YOURSELF
