PREFACE
It all started in the church years ago. I would be invited to motivate men in our men’s fellowships and advise them on how to start up a business and drive it to the realm of success.
To many, I was the perfect example of a successful businessman amongst the Kenyan community in the United Kingdom. I had discovered a niche in the car washing industry and introduced the concept of washing cars in car parks whilst the owners went shopping, back in the early nineties. This concept had developed very quickly throughout Britain and had spread out like wild fire, providing employment to thousands of people today.
In time, I moved from one business to another and every business I started would thrive so well that it appeared like everything I touched turned into gold. As my business thrived, my life- style changed for the better. I bought a state- of- the- art brand new four bedroom town house, fully equipped with music surround system in every room, including the bathrooms and toilets, in a small town in Gravesend, Kent. I drove a state- of- the- art Range Rover Vogue. My children were in private schools. I was, therefore, seemingly comfortable.
Mark you this was in the UK.
What a lot of people did not realise was that I was struggling to understand the knowledge to act on my causes through my thought forces. I knew that there was a secret that would make me extremely wealthy if only I fully understood its concept. But what I had so far learned had enabled me to just merely achieve the success I reflected. To a lot of people, this would appear like the ultimate achievement inhering in self actualization, but I knew that I had hardly scratched the surface, yet the results so far were amazing.
Initially, I believed that the secret was contained in setting my entire mind totally to the task at hand without necessarily focusing on the profit, but performing on the task to the best of my ability that there was nothing left to be desired. I am a firm believer of the fact that if you are to do a task, do it with all your mind; with all your heart and with all your strength that, even if you did not do your very best, there is nothing you did not do that anyone else would come and do, better than what you did. Although this worked just fine, but I had a feeling that there was more to working hard by somehow utilizing the power of my mind in the achievement of the things I desired in life.
I was to, however, later on, hit on the real vein of the knowledge that made me realize that there was more to life than just working hard. I knew that there was a way I could utilize the mind to be in control of all I desired, as my elder brother, the Christ had promised and demonstrated. I had also come to understand, through research and observation, that there were a chosen few who had mastered the art of achieving so much without too much physical effort. Yet, the bible tells us that God is not a respecter of persons.
I also knew that motivational books were trying to tell us something when they told us that we had the potential which, if well utilized, could make us achieve anything we wanted in life. They did not, however, completely tell us exactly how to tap into this potential in a way we could all understand, or what this potential exactly was. They also did not tell those of us who are born again Christians whether this was biblical. In many cases, reading these motivational books left those of us, who aspired for the kingdom of God, more confused than when we first began reading these books.
In most motivational books, different writers would narrate a success story of the writer or one of the successful businessmen in the world and would point out that these people had succeeded through the use of their mind. The motivational writers would then inform us that if we used the power of our mind, we could also realize our every dreams and goals in our life.
But they never quite told us or me for that matter, exactly how to utilize this power of the mind!
I therefore decided to embark on a journey in the quest, through research and study, on how I could utilize my mind in a biblical perspective to achieve anything I desired in life. The journey took me through Astronomy to the study of the smallest in quantum mechanics also known as spiritual science, to the study of neural science as well as the science of thought and the bible. The results? The principles contained in this book.
So, basically, the book is meant to motivate the leader and take you through the bible while dissecting on the human being in a “know thyself” tour to understand our two personalities- spirit and nature and how they apply in the success or failure in our lives; that is, how they make or mar our lives. It is meant to show the leader the God given power that we posses within us and how we may tap into it without jeopardizing our salvation.
The book shows how this is biblical, by including the relevant verses, and also shows why this is important to us. It also discusses in great depths on the doctrine of Paul in all his books in the bible and exposes the teaching of Paul which he gave to the gentiles in Europe and helped turn the continent into the success story it is today.
The book shows how the kingdom of God is within us and how to literally attain it through our thought forces by meditating upon the Spirit and Mind of Christ which has been given to us and which otherwise lays dormant within us. It also shows how we were fed with baby food and milk, just like the Corinthians and are therefore not able to attain to righteousness leave alone utilize our ability to call upon things that are not as if they were, our otherwise inherent right. The majority of us worship a god who is out there whereas the Supreme God lives within us. The danger to worshiping a god who is out there is in that that kind of a god is not omnipresent which is contrary to the God of the bible.
This book is set to show the reader how we are consciously able to seek first and enter into the kingdom of God at will, by understanding that we have been given the Spirit and Mind of Christ; which gives us the right and the key to the secret place of the Most High respectively, and how "all other things are added unto us" in that when we have entered into the kingdom of God by the Mind of Christ in us which is the signet ring given to us by our Father; and in the power of the Spirit of Christ which is our royal robe, we are then able to come into the realm of causes and are enabled to act on all causes in the declaration of Christ that, "what thing soever ye shall desire, when ye pray, believing, it shall be given unto thee" which fulfills this promise of the Master.
Kindly be on the look out for the next serialization in a few days...
