Be Like God

He started with a dream (idea) of

everything good around him. He

brooded for a long while; He

planned, created all we see by a

constant thought process out of

nothing and from nowhere. It may

take time, people may mock you.Spite you and laugh at you but just

BE LIKE GOD.

Be Like God

The Bible says in Gen 1:1, 2 In the beginning, Godcreated the heaven and theearth. And the earth was

without form and void, anddarkness

The word VOID showsemptiness, nothingness andcombined with this

emptiness was thick, deepdarkness; darkness thatcould be felt and touched.

Be Like God

So, how do we create wealth from nothing,when there is no money or resources, when weknow no one, when we have limited skill-set to

achieve what we want to achieve, when thereis no college degree to make a way for us in thecorporate world or even if it is available,nothing can really be saved from our monthly

income, even when we try to save something,the amount is infinitesimal in comparism to ourgreat dreams?BE LIKE GOD.


5/30

HOW DO WE BE LIKE GOD?

To be like God, we need to act like God. What

did he do in the circumstances in which he

found himself?

UNDERSTANDING THE POWER

WITHIN

As humans, we are empowered to be just like God. We

were created as spirit beings, which lives in a body and

possess a soul and this soul holds the great forces of our

mind, our will and our emotions. God breathe the same

creative spirit that moved upon the face of the waters into

you and the Bible says man became a living soul.

Wealth can only be created through deep thought,

meditation, prayer, planning and particularly, the will to

achieve what you conceive and a consistent persistence in

this attitude will bring about a winning streak.

THE TRUTH:

You need knowledge to create wealth!Examine this:

If you see a man who goes with somuch confidence while he walksor drives along the streets, who isnot disturbed when he suffers

losses, who is not easilyfrightened by awful situationsand who lives his life with somuch ease, then two things couldbe responsible for his behavior. Itis either he has a lot of money

stored up in his bank account orhe has so much knowledge storedup in his mind.


21/30

THE TRUTH:

You need knowledge to create wealth!

On the contrary

When you see a man who

walks on the streets with so

much inelegance, who liveshis life in fear of the future,

who gets worried about

minor challenges, then two

things could also be

responsible. It is either hehas an empty pocket or he

has an empty head.
