RETIRE IN TEN YEARS OR LESS Part1

THE POWER OF YOUR DESIRE
"...When desire has conceived, it gives birth..." JAMES 1:15a (NKJV).

The first step to getting anything is desire. If you never desire, you will never aspire, and would never acquire. Each of us has 24 hours daily, and individual talents. Some are handicap, but desire can help them develop a system that helps them overcome their handicap, thereby giving them equal chances as others.
No matter what fails, let your vision and drive never ebb away. Rather, let them keep waxing stronger by the day, as you keep acting on your plan, so that the process can transform you into what you should be becoming.
VISION
Vision here, is your mental picture for the future,  and as Bishop Oyedepo puts it, "Your mental picture, determines your actual future."
It takes an employee, an average of 30-40 years to prepare for retirement. Some never retire in the end, as they cannot afford to retire.
The problem is that they never had a mental picture of the kind of retirement they would love to have, or how quickly they would love it to be. And if they ever had, they weren't passionate or consistent.
When you want to jump across a gutter or ditch, you look at the very spot you want to land, and you land there, if you are not wavering in your mind. So also when playing soccer, for those that play, you are more likely to score a goal, if your eyes and feet are working together at the time you aim the net. In like manner, when driving, if you do not keep your eyes on where you are going, sooner your hands will follow, and you would stir the vehicle in that direction.
So, have a clear-cut vision, write it out and place it before you always, and all your actions will be to establish it. The beginning is always the hardest. If you stay tenacious, you will achieve it in the little time left, and would still be retiring in less than ten years from the time your money starts rushing in. And probably your kids would still be young. But most importantly, you will be financially free. I learnt that Abraham Lincoln once said, "If I had 6 hours to fell a tree, I would spend 4 sharpening my cutlass.
DRIVE
Your passion must be on top always, which is why you have to discover your passion. What talents do you have, and what needs would you like to meet in this world? What value do you want to create?
ACTION
Be motivated daily, and keep acting on, and improving your plan. Yet, you must learn to read numbers (a financial statement). You need financial literacy. Which we shall consider in one of the succeeding articles.

God bless you.

THE POWER OF GIVING

"The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
"Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
"Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice;
"Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel" PSALM 20:1-4 (KJV).

There is much power in giving, as there is in speaking, and even more, but speaking is the beginning. If you speak wrongly about your seed, it will sabotage it's result; so speaking is important. But giving begets manifestation faster than speaking [affirmations].
There are many who have joined the cults and societies of this world to have fame, wealth or knowledge. There they learn again that they have to give, after being made to take oaths (affirmations) of secrecy. The truth is, if they had been informed on time, they would never have had to sell their souls in any way. All that would have been necessary is the Word of God and an outlandish offering, and they would have reaped their heart's with life and peace (Romans 8:6-7). God established these principles, the devil did not establish any of them; he only deceived those who have taken the oaths, only to reveal to them things God has already freely given each of us, at a very steep price to his initiates. Here is what such a person must do to break loose. Confess that you are saved, in Jesus' Name, and give an outlandish offering to a bible-believing church or minister.
  Let me share two examples with you.
"And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places. And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon Offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.
"In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee" 1KINGS 3:3-5 (KJV).
Solomon wasn't David's first son, but he was the only son of the ones closest to kingship, who cared to learn from his father (Proverbs 4:1-7). Absalom was a murderer (2Samuel 13:28-29), and a traitor (2Samuel 15:10), and also dead; killed in pursuit, for treason, by his Uncle, Joab, the commander of David's army. Amnon was a rapist (2Samuel 13:6-19), and Adonijah was wanton (1Kings 1:5). But Solomon was godly, however he had oppositions. So he gave God such an offering, and he became a candidate for grace.
So you will see one musician or politician or entrepreneur who is said to be in a cult that makes people great, and you envy him or her, or believe that you cannot be great except you belong to a cult, or don't want to be great because you do not want to belong to a cult. You are wrong!
You see, the true reason grace follows them, is because of their giving. However, the devil is wicked and his demands and supplies bring sorrow.
The second example is Mesha, king of Moab. He was a sheepmaster (according to King James Bible), and rendered to Ahab, King of Israel, one hundred thousand lambs and one hundred thousand rams with their wool.
Now, Ahab died and Jehoram his son began to reign, and the king of Moab found his chance to stop paying tribute.
Jehoram immediately called for support from Jehosaphat, King of Judah, and also from the king of Edom. (2Kings 3:1-10.)
They went to Elisha, the man of God, who said, God will give the Moabites  into your hands. And so they went out against Moab. Here is how it went down:
"And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even to the king of Edom: but they could not. Then he took his first son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burned offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land" 2KINGS 3:26-27 (KJVER).
God can still turn your hopeless situation around. Who says you must stay with prosthesis, or that disease, all your life. You can function with grace (effortless ease and great bliss), and you do not need a human sacrifice, for "Money answers all things" ECCLESIASTIS 10:19c (KJVER). Start exercising your faith today.
God bless you.

BELIEVE, CONFESS, RECEIVE

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it :[for death or life]" PROVERBS 18:21(AMP).
"A small rudder on a huge ship in the hands of a skilled Captain sets a course in the face of strongest winds. A word out of your mouth may seem of no account, but it can accomplish nearly anything--or destroy it! It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire" JAMES 3:4-5 (MSG).
"The words you say...reflect your fate..." MATTHEW 12:37 (NLT).
"...Have faith in God (marginal reference: "Have the faith of God.")
"For verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thought cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith" MARK 11:22-23 (KJV paraphrased).

The words you say are very powerful. Life is spiritual, and thoughts and words can be creative, destructive or empty [Matthew 12:36] (which is also destructive).
Man is the image and likeness of God, and we function like Him. God said, concerning the men building the tower of Babel, even though no tower on earth will extend to Heaven, even if all earth's resources were committed to building it, "Behold the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do" GENESIS 11:6 (KJV).
The same applies to us, whatever you imagine will not be restrained from coming to pass, except subverting God's counsel.
This is how man's heart (spirit)  functions,
Whatever enters your heart in abundance, will influence your believing, which influences what you say and do, and in turn, what you get.
Man is a spirit, and he is encased in a soul, and his soul, in a body (1THESSALONIANS 5:23).
Bringing this down to the understanding of all, let us employ physics. The spirit and soul are quick and sublimer, but the body is slow, and suffers from inertia (resistance to work). Again
the spirit and soul are creative but the body is not.
Matter decomposes into weak energy: radio waves to x-ray and gamma rays, which can carry information (radio broadcast, TV transmission, data, etc), but are not creative energy. But thought waves are far sublimer and are creative, and spirit waves carry life and intuition, "So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I Please, and shall prosper in the thing wherefore I sent it" ISAIAH 55:11 (KJV). When you speak, you do not only release audible sound (weak waves or energy), you also release creative energy; so be careful what you wish for.
Another principle, besides that of believing, confessing and creating, is that of agreement. "Again I say to you, If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven" MATTHEW 18:19 (KJVER). "In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established" 2CORINTHIANS 13:1 (KJVER).
Employing physics again, if you attain to the natural frequency of a body, it will vibrate in resonance. If two places or chambers seperated by distance or time are made to vibrate at the same rate (frequency), a direct connection will be established, such that you can step out of one into the other. If you dial your friend's. number, a connection will be established, and you will both see or, see and hear what is going on at the other's end. [I have an unpublished book on this, "Abstractology: A Series In The Nature And Mechanism Of Existence".]
If you believe with your heart and confess with your mouth, that Jesus is Lord, you will become born again (recreated in God). If you believe and speak, you will have what you say. If you doubt, doubt will manifest in the creative energy you release and will sabotage your results.
Have the faith of God. Believe, confess and receive.
God bless you.

THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED

This universe is spiritual, so please patiently listen to me and you will understand.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). Then war broke out in heaven. Lucifer, the former chief angel convinced one-third the angels of God to team up with him. So they fought, and Michael, the current chief angel, fought with his angels, and prevailed, and they cast the devil down to the earth with his demons. They also lost their place in heaven permanently. (Revelation 12:7-9).
Now, Lucifer was the angel in charge of the earth, before his fall; so were the other angels in charge of other realms (Isaiah 14:12-16 and Revelation 12:4). Due to their rebellion and those of the beings they were overseeing; as the Bible has it, Lucifer made the people of the earth to sin, (Isaiah 14:15), their realms became disconnected from God (Life), "Who fills everything everywhere with Himself" (Ephesians 1:23--AMP).
Resultantly, there were multiple supernovae, which resulted in the Big Bang.
It was after the big bang that God recreated things and created the first of our kind, in His image and likeness (Jeremiah 4:23-27, Genesis 1:2-28, 2:7-8, 15-19; and Hebrews 11:3 [AMP]).
Now scientists tell you that the earth has been for some billion years, and that certain organisms existed before and are long extinct, they are correct. Yet, there is a twist in the tale, and I have just shared it with you.
God bless you.
