Title: 'ABUNDANCE COMETH' 83/Ink - Visual Prayer Art by Rev.Bola A

One of the hottest topics today is the law of attraction. If you've always want to know how to attract infinite abundance and success in your life, then knowing and applying this universal law is vital. Countless lives have changed since "The Secret" revealed the techniques on how to apply the powerful principles of the law of attraction.
People from around the world are fascinated by its unlimited potential. They desire to know how to use its miraculous power to manifest and attain their goals and dreams in life.

What is the Law of Attraction?

It is a universal force that attracts to you whatever you focus your attention on most of the time. This drawing power allows you to manifest your thoughts and emotions into reality. It has been existent since the beginning of creation. The greatest people who have ever lived practiced this universal law. The most successful people in the world today are practicing it, including Oprah.
We see  that Jesus practised and taught this Law as it states in The Holy Bible:

Matthew 21:22 - And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”

With the law of attraction, you have the power to attain anything. Want to know how to have great self confidence? Focus, believe, think, and feel that you have amazing self-confidence and you will manifest that. This applies to almost every possible endeavor that you intend to accomplish.
In a few moments, I'm going to reveal 4 secret keys to unlock the full power of the law of attraction.

4 Secret Keys on How to Unleash the Law of Attraction

It is essential for anyone who is applying this cosmic law to know how to use it to its full advantage and maximize its effectiveness. The law of attraction does not merely rely on the simple formula of ask, believe, and receive. To unleash its full universal power, you have to do the following:
1. Declare your intentions, believe that you are already receiving what you are asking for, and recite your affirmations whenever you can. If you want to be a best-selling author, say, "I am a best-selling author!" many times throughout the day with belief, conviction, and emotion. It is best if you can go to a room alone to focus on your self-talk.
At any time of the day when you are about to say or think of something negative like "I can never do this!" or "I'm so stupid!" hold your tongue and say "Cancel! Cancel! Cancel!" or "Delete! Delete! Delete!" Immediately switch to positive thoughts. It is vital to keep your inner dialogue purely positive and free from pessimistic toxins.

Again in the Bible it states:

Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

2.Visualize in your mind the very thing you desire to be, do, or have. Believe without a doubt that is already manifesting in your life. Feel the happiness or satisfaction of having achieved your dream in your whole body, mind, heart, and soul. It is highly recommended that you create a vision board (a cardboard will do, with pictures of things that delight your heart). This will greatly enhance your visual faculty. 

3. Take inspired action! The universe helps those who help themselves. The Law of sowing and reaping states that if you do something good, an equally good thing will come back to you. And if you do something bad, an equally bad thing will come back to you. You reap what you sow. Therefore, if you just keep daydreaming and don't do anything, the universe won't do anything to help you either.
4. Receive openly. The law of attraction is more powerful if you open up and allow yourself to receive the abundance that God supplies to you. If you reject your blessings, you are stopping the flow of prosperity and decreasing your attracting force. Acknowledge even the smallest things in life. Remember to always say "Thank you." Let the universe know how much you appreciate all the abundant gifts you are receiving. Show sincere gratitude, and the universe will respond appropriately by giving you more.
The law of attraction is always at work; it never fails. Understand it, know exactly how to use it, and start applying its principles to manifest everything you've always dreamed of. You can do it! May God be with you.

Title: 'Owning The Freedom To Create Wealth'

 
'Wealth Magnet' - PrayerArt and Visual Talisman by Rev.Bola (Nov'09)

Creating wealth is something anyone and everyone can do.  This article seeks to show, that there is an exact science and a system, to getting rich and creating wealth; and that by applying the law of attraction and other universal laws, you can and will get rich.  If you learn the science of getting rich, study it and practice it,  then you will definitely start to attract the riches that you so strongly desire. 

You must hold on to your vision, your dreams, and hold steadfast to your goals. Remember, often times, it is not the destination that makes us happy, it is the journey. Understanding the 'law of attraction' is most critical to your success and in obtaining prosperity and wealth. 

Simply put the law of attraction states that; I attract into my life whatever I give my energy, focus and attention to, whether unwanted or wanted or conscious or unconscious. This means that you can have anything you choose, no matter how big it is. This means if we learn how to apply the law of attraction, we can learn how to achieve success, prosperity and wealth. We can receive greater levels of income, than we ever dreamed. 

The law of attraction works because we all have one Infinite Power; a God, Higher Power or Universal Force, and that we all guide ourselves by laws; natural laws of the universe, such as the law of gravity, cause and effect, polarity, action and reaction, and the law of attraction. The law of attraction can best be described as a magnetic force, that like thoughts attract like experiences.

Creating wealth is not the same as ending poverty.
Creating wealth is the idea that you must have something unique or special to share with the world. Millions of people around the world attend wealth building seminars where the seminar leaders reveal amazing business structures to market and sell products that you must create and share with the world. Often people walk away from these workshops full of ideas and huge overwhelming plans to turn that idea into cash, often not realizing the full extent.

Creating wealth is to “get so we can give” as opposed to the prosperity teachers notion that we should “give so we can get”. As long as we do not idolize money, and retain the truth that all we have has come from God anyway, then there is no need to feel any guilt about how much money we make. There are many examples in the bible that show God's desire to bless his faithful followers with wealth:. 

(Gen- 39:2) “and the lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. (Deut 29:9) “keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do”. (2 Ch 26:5) “And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the lord, God made him to prosper”. And 1 Kings 3:13 “And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honor: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days”. God loves to bless his children especially if we in return are happy to bless others.

Creating wealth is building wealth consciousness within yourself. Prosperity is an inside feeling that becomes expressed on the outside as material wealth and success. When you are in the presence of a truly and highly successful and prosperous person, you can feel their calm and confident presence, a knowing that surrounds them. This is what you should first build within yourself. Without wealth consciousness, building wealth becomes very difficult, elusive and erratic. 

Wealth starts within and is evidenced outside. Your mind may tell you "I want money now, so I want to act now, forget the wealth consciousness bit. That is what most people say, and they end up working hard all their lives with little change happening in tens of years. You must build wealth consciousness if you wish to start creating an exciting and glorious life and stop living a survivor's hard life. Creating wealth is possible. As we can see, in today's educational system it is rare to receive thorough education on wealth building.

Creating wealth is very much an inside job, and it all starts with our thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs. If you are interested in creating wealth in your life, the first place to start is within your own mind. Clarify the necessity of taking a look at your thoughts, beliefs, and feelings associated with abundance and scarcity and learn how to go about building a wealth consciousness and creating the life you have always imagined. Creating wealth is just like creating anything. Follow the design principles as used by universe itself. Once you know that, creating anything becomes easy. Creating wealth through the traffic in ideas is even easier. 

The first step is to gain the knowledge; the second step is to apply that knowledge. As per the prosperity paradigm, the first and most critical step is to have a clearly defined ideal. If personal prosperity as represented by money in your pocket or bank account is your ideal, then¦what exactly does prosperity mean to you? How have you defined it for yourself? After more are you? More what? More wealth, more health, more happiness, more peace of mind, more purpose, more freedom, more time, more toys or just more "more"? what does prosperity mean to you? exactly what? decide, then write it down. If you want to know when you have achieved prosperity, you must first define what it means to you. You must clearly idealize, visualize and desire prosperity

Webster's dictionary defines prosperity as the condition of being successful or thriving, it then goes on to define successful as gaining success, success as to succeed, succeed as 'to turn out well' and thrive as 'to flourish or prosper' and flourish as 'to thrive or prosper'. So, it appears that Webster implies, if not quite states, that to prosper is to have things turn out well, to thrive and to flourish. So it sounds to me like you are already prospering in so many ways; after all, you are able to read and you are reading this. 

Creating wealth is more about you and about how you see yourself. To become wealthy you need to fix what's wrong internally and the external part will take care of itself. Do you want to create more wealth in your life? Then find out what's really stopping you. Creating wealth is not just about an inflow of cash and it is also more than having savings in your bank account. 

There are three strategies for sustainable wealth creation, first is identifying your personal gifts and putting them into use and thus touching the lives of other people. A wise man once said, "your gifts will make you to stand before great men and will create room for you. " room talks about a niche, an edge above your peers. Also for there to be a pregnancy and delivery there must be conception. In business terms, conception is a business idea hence your seed is your concept. 

Your idea must be planted; you must also believe in your idea and invest in it for it to produce. Your dream will never become a reality as long as it remains a dream. Third thing to consider is having strategic alliances. Show me a man who has achieved success and I will show you a person who knows how to develop wise and long term partnerships.

Creating wealth is dividing up your money and developing a diverse portfolio, children start this process with out even knowing it as early as age three. Children can be taught important financial lessons that will create a healthy financial future. These lessons are life skills that everyone needs, to create a secure financial future. Just imagine your child becoming an investor at the age of three. Just think where you would be right now if your parents started saving and investing for you as young as age three and taught you to do the same?

Learn the science of getting rich, study it, practice it and then start to attract the riches that you so strongly desire. Hold on to your vision, your dreams and hold steadfast to your goals, and remember, often times, it is not the destination that makes us happy, it is the journey. Understanding the law of attraction is most critical to your success and in obtaining prosperity and wealth. Simply put the law of attraction states that I attract into my life whatever I give my energy, focus and attention to, whether unwanted or wanted or conscious or unconscious.

Many people look at investing in the stock market as risky, however, you have to keep in mind that anything that you do in life is a risk. Even that 9-5 "stable" job is a risk. The stock market has created millions of millionaires around the world. OK, so you don't want to start a business, well, why not invest in a business that you love?. If you're really serious about creating wealth, you do not want to overlook this option.

Creating wealth is the solution, and ownership is the key in creating wealth. If you decide for instance that network marketing is right for you, then you could be building your own business, which can lead to great wealth. The more successful you become, the more time and freedom you will have to spend with your family, and your more spiritual pursuits.

I have been a long-time follower of the human consciousness movement, and have read and studied the work of many teachers and writers. I have found the information on consciously creating wealth to be very useful. Further, if you are interested in creating wealth in your life, the first place to start is within your own mind. Creating wealth is a natural part of life. Each of us is born with a unique gift, which we can do better than anyone else on this planet. Discovering that talent, and aligning your mind, body and soul so that you are able to share your gift with others, and then never giving up, can bring tremendous prosperity.

Our outward manifestations are a reflection of our inner money mindset. If the mindset is low, the manifestation will be small. If the mindset is high, the road is paved for prosperity, abundance and and wealth. I have read all these books and applied them to my life, so I can vouch for their techniques and success rate. Do you want to have the edge in today's competitive small business “click” marketing world? then listen up: the old style shotgun approach to marketing is out. 

There are some things you need to know first. Creating wealth is aligning your beliefs and consciousness with prosperity thinking. You must have a strong foundation or else the whole structure is at risk of falling apart. There are steps to building a strong financial foundation.

Creating wealth is the only solution to Africa's problem with poverty. Wealth creation and building prosperity is the only solution to impending abject poverty. How can you reduce poverty? Can you really quantify poverty at the level where you can show you can reduce it. Why not eliminate it with creating wealth and prosperity?

Creating wealth is one way of building self confidence. It is not so difficult once you discover your own skills and potential. Developing your belief system for creating wealth is not something that is typically taught in schools and although many people dream of becoming wealthy, very few actually take the time to learn the secrets to success or put strategies in place to set themselves up for future financial gain. Creating wealth by developing your belief system is not about getting a second job or negotiating a pay raise, although these things can certainly help in the beginning stages of wealth building.

Successful people are not more talented than you. So, what should you do to create a wealthy, abundant life for yourself and your family? it all starts in the mind. It's time for a new way of thinking: there are specific methods of positive thinking that you need to adopt. There can be no positive thinking without the avoidance of negative thinking. You may want to explore and then clear your inner beliefs about wealth. 

Does any particular belief you identify, allow you to attract what you really want in life? are your unconscious beliefs supporting you and your goals? if not, then you must take an action and work on them. Open your mind to this concept of positive thinking and you will see how positive thinking can change your mind and your life. Wealthy people think positively about money, wealth, about rich people and they expect success and riches.

Creating wealth is having the right mindset, so you can never be too young or old to change any limiting beliefs and learn the tools to make the stock market work for you. Creating wealth is a national objective that mobilizes a great many forces for a new and better future. In general, state and companies operate on a broad consensus regarding the need for the creation of both public and private wealth. Without doubt, the material side of these endeavors is essential, but the Spiritual side is indispensable as well.

Creating wealth is to realize that what you want is already available to you. Many people are looking everywhere for the master key to creating wealth but sadly they are looking in the wrong places. The wealth you can not see first within your mind, you will never experience no matter what you do. Wealth is not something you get but something you connect to. Listen to me, right now everything you need is already available to you. All you will ever need and beyond is already around you. All that is required of you is to change your wrong belief system about wealth and start creating wealth. 

When you change your mindset from the belief of scarcity to abundance, you start connecting to prosperity and possibilities that are around you all the time. The discovery of the fact that the real resources are resident on your inside makes the outside resources to start showing up. William James, the eminent philosopher and psychologist, once observed that the greatest discovery of our age has been that we, by changing the inner aspects of our thinking, can change the outer aspects of our lives.

Creating wealth is very much in alignment with God's will.
Creating an amazing relationship is powerful.... Creating greater health in your mind-body (and those around you) is incredibly powerful.... The creation of all these things leads to what I call ‘prosperity', but these things alone will never satisfy you.... Appreciation and gratitude can be expressed at any time for anything. No matter how good or not-so-good life may seem, you can still breathe... and if you are breathing, you have something you can be grateful for.

Successful people are those who are always looking for ways to add value in some way to a person, a company, a product or a service. Here is an example of adding value: domino's pizza. The founders of domino's pizza took a common food, offered by thousands of little restaurants and added a value to the pizza by delivering it more rapidly than anyone else. The added value of speed enabled domino's to create a billion dollar empire and made the founder of domino's, Tom Monahan, one of the richest men in the world.

 Another way to add value is to buy something in one place at one price and then make it available in another place for another price. For example, buying a product or service manufactured in Europe or Asia, importing it to the united states and making it available to people to whom it was not available before, is a way of adding value for which you can charge a higher price.

It is always possible for anyone with compassion to be wealthy. Creating wealth is the only way out of this economic struggle. The fundamental laws of economics prove that economic growth occurs at a more rapid rate with fewer restrictions (lower taxes) as opposed to more restrictions (higher taxes). Ask any small business owner what needs to happen to create more jobs. I will bet the answer includes less taxation, less regulation, and less litigation.

 If we want more jobs we must empower business owners to create them. If you force businesses to pay higher unemployment taxes, you will have higher unemployment. If you force businesses to pay a new health-care payroll tax you will have higher unemployment. If you force businesses to pay new carbon emission taxes you will have higher unemployment. If you raise the capital gains tax on businesses you will have higher unemployment.

Creating wealth is about having multiple sources of income. Having only one source of income often does not make you exceedingly wealthy. It may give you a good living but that's about it. You need to seize the opportunity to make extra money. Creating wealth is often stigmatized, and businesspeople in developing nations are sometimes regarded as too self-interested to be a force for positive social change. There are efforts by international organizations and personalities that aim to correct this, but these efforts often turn into ;social engineering solutions, or into calls for philanthropic donations and handouts, rather than focusing on economic integration, improved productivity, and growth. 

 The prevalent mindset in trying to solve the problem of poverty focuses too little on the opportunity these new, vast markets represent as a way to create producers and consumers, and to connect all people to networks of productivity and exchange. At the core of the approach to poverty alleviation is the basic question: are individual persons, no matter where they live, able to determine their own future? 

Does positive change come from the ingenuity of the individual or does a group of us (well-educated westerners, primarily) have to tell the rest what to do? The answer to these questions goes to the core of our view of how we see the person, as fatalistic or self-determined and it determines whether our proposed solution to an issue like poverty involves a top-down approach or a bottom-up solution. Indeed, to what extent do we rest the locus of responsibility for a persons future on him or her or on others, out of their beneficence?. 

The aim of research is to challenge the prevailing state of mind in this field. We want to answer the question of whether wealth-creation may be the most effective solution to alleviate poverty. We invest our efforts and resources to find, research, and document examples where entrepreneurial success is shown to have led to poverty alleviation. In the process, we will seek to inspire entrepreneurs in developing countries with advice, investments, role models, and services. Enterprise solutions to poverty already exist, but are not sufficiently studied, analyzed, and exhibited as examples. There are specific questions that have no formulated answers; it should be our aim to sponsor research to explore and find these answers.

Governments should not so hamper markets that they are prevented from bringing rapid growth to the poor economies of Africa, Asia and elsewhere that have had limited participation in the global economy. New economic policies that try to speed up recovery should follow the first principle of medicine: do no harm. This runs counter to a common but mistaken view, even among many free-market proponents, that it is better to do something to try to help the economy than to do nothing. Most interventions, including random policies, by their very nature would hurt rather than help, in large part by adding to the uncertainty and risk that are already so prominent during this contraction.

Creating wealth is as simple as changing the way you currently view wealth. By using affirmations targeted at creating wealth, you change the way your mind thinks about creating wealth. Wealth creators are always looking for ways to add value in some way to a person, a company, a product or a service.

I am amazed at how few people who inherit wealth stay on the highest income list over time. There are many reasons for this gradual dissipation in wealth: estate taxes, increasing number of heirs, bad investments, etc. But the biggest challenge is managing a fortune as well as the founders did. It's plain hard work, and most heirs are not up to the challenge. If creating wealth is possible solely through working hard, then why is it that people who are hardworking are not always the most wealthy and richest people. 

Having said that, please don't conclude, that I am saying that hard work does not contribute towards making money and creating wealth. All I am saying is that in becoming rich and wealthy, we need to have more than a favourable logical reason. I presume that merely the conscious or logical reasons alone can't make you wealthy and rich in the long-run, although it may be possible in the short term. Align your subconscious with making money; creating wealth. Replace those old dis-empowering or unfavourable beliefs in our subconscious mind, with new empowering or favourable beliefs.

Chanting wealth creating affirmations and mantras several times daily is said to attract wealth and prosperity.
Creating wealth is within your grasp: discover how to use positive affirmations to manifest all the riches your deserve. Your mind becomes as a wealth creating machine. You see wealth-creating opportunities everywhere you go. Use them and you just might find streams of wealth flowing into your life on a continual basis. Discover how affirming a 'millionaire mindset' will give you access to the unique strategies you must have to create true abundance in your life.

Creating wealth is not as difficult as you think. Learning is the first step, the knowledge works as the vehicle that brings you to your destination. While taking action is the second step, it is the fuel that will drive the vehicle to where you always wanted to go. Many people have the limiting beliefs that say they cannot be rich or become a millionaire. However, this is not true, you can become a millionaire even if your earning is low. How? by managing your wealth and creating more income streams in your life. As long as you do what you should be doing, money will come to you.
Creating wealth is what conservative capitalists do, while rich liberals criticize. 

Fundamentally speaking, wealth is not really about money, which is sometimes difficult for people to understand. When you work for a living, you (hopefully) provide value to a customer (somewhere down the line). If you do not provide value, then you represent an inefficiency within the economy. There are certainly many inefficiencies within the economy where people perform work that does not necessarily provide value. However, in the long-run these inefficiencies disappear, particularly when there is a downturn in the economy. That is when companies look for inefficiencies and reduce them with layoffs. Many of those that are laid off might go on to start their own businesses which in turn creates more value for people in new ways. If they do not start their own businesses, they will eventually find new jobs where they are likely to provide value to customers.

Study the many tips available for saving money and keep good records of your cash payments so you can see where your money is going at all times. Wealth creation comes about because your cash going out is a lot less than your cash coming in - so maintaining a watch on your cash flow is critical. If you have spare money after meeting all your needs, make sure this money is working for you. This means investing in products that grow and produce an income. 

If your money going out is less than your money coming in you will end up with a surplus of cash. Make sure you set some of this aside for emergencies and the rest should be invested; to grow and multiply. The whole area of investment is complex and there is a lot of information available to help you to make decisions. You may need to talk to a financial planner or investment adviser because you should be aware of the risks, as well as the income and gains the investment products can produce.

There are efforts by international organizations and personalities that aim to correct the problem of poverty in developing countries, but as I stated earlier, these efforts often turn into "top-down" and "social engineering" solutions, or into calls for philanthropic donations and handouts, rather than focusing on economic integration, improved productivity, and growth. Again, it needs to be considered, whether the prevalent mindset in trying to "solve" the problem of poverty, focuses too little on the opportunity these new, vast markets represent, as a way to create producers and consumers, and to connect all people to networks of productivity and exchange. 

At the core of the approach to poverty alleviation, is the basic question: are individual persons, no matter where they live, able to determine their own future? does positive change come from the ingenuity of the individual, or does a group of us (well-educated westerners, primarily) have to tell the rest what to do? the answer to these questions goes to the core of our view of how we see the person, as fatalistic or self-determined and it determines whether our proposed solution to an issue like poverty involves a "top-down" approach or a "bottom-up" solution. Indeed, to what extent do we rest the locus of responsibility for a person's future on him or her or on others, out of their beneficence?. There are specific questions as these repeatedly asked, that have no formulated answers - it must be society's aim to sponsor research to explore and find these answers.

Creating wealth is possible once you understand the principles of wealth creation, positive thought, and achieving success. The acclaimed author Mr. Allen has helped to create a countless number of millionaires. He has wanted people to actually create wealth for themselves, rather than just know how to create it. People from around the world have recognized the truth of what Allen has written about in his books, including the essential, powerful, and simple ways everyday people can become wealthy. 

Allen developed his science of real estate training back in 1981. His seminars have led thousands of new real estate investors to successful careers and have provided trainees with the strategies and tools that started a real estate revolution. He has returned with new training for our times when real estate is the best investment for everyone. Creating wealth is retold, on a smaller scale, at other income levels. 

Creating wealth is the result of good service being rendered. All who labour and strive towards operating a company that is consistently profitable, promote growth and maturity in the lives of others. They desire the best for fellow workers, customers, and suppliers; and seek to point all to the true source of growth and maturity. Creating wealth is sharing wealth with all those who earn it. Creating wealth is in the heart and mind of the people. After all, it shaped the wide mass of the world's population, as it exists today. Creating wealth is a result of prosperity consciousness. The power of your subconscious mind can make even impossible dreams come true. Creating wealth is not just in what you do, it's in how you do it. 

I firmly believe that every one of us not only has the right to enjoy more of what we want in life, but that we also have the ability, right now, to make it happen. I am constantly drawing from a deep well of personal experience when it comes to shaping my visions into concrete plans of action. Working from a background of homelessness and bankruptcy, I have since built a comfortable lifestyle by aid of Divine intervention. I have applied programs, products and practices that have brought tangible success, and I now tirelessly work to bring what I have learned to as many people who will listen, as possible. 

After starting from literally nothing, I do understand now, that we all have an inborn organic gift to create wealth, and that we just need to know how to discover it, harness it and unleash it. Creating wealth is the best possible education for creating even more wealth. An economy can continue to grow, only if its profits, are joined together with its entrepreneurial knowledge.
May you and yours, have a prosperous, happy, wealthy and abundantly blessed life.
