Instant Millionaire
I have always been a believer in the power that books wield. Having had various encounters through books that I see as milestones and turning points in my life; but yesterday I became a better disciple of books seeing the impact the book, The Instant Millionaire by Mark Fisher, had on me.
I had read it before many years ago so I recommended it to a protégé of mine as an interesting reading. He got it , read it and agreed that it was a masterpiece. Some time after this I asked him to lend me his copy so I could read it again. My intention was to use it as a pattern for a book I wanted to write.
Well, I read the book again and light flooded my heart and mind. God used it as tool in His hand put in the missing pieces in my faith puzzle. Now I am ready for the ‘impossible.’ Really the book brought to light the statement of the Lord that all things are possible to the believing ones.
Missing Pieces of faith are like broken points in an electric circuit. They are like the missing wheel of a new car. The car is new, the engine is great, the beauty of the car is impeccable but it has only three wheels. It has potentials to move but it can’t. Faith has components and each must combine together to produce the desired results.
I saw that the missing pieces of my faith were lack of definite and specific targets, inconsistency in repetitively reconditioning of my mind and spirit, and a strong disbelief in the ability of my spirit to give me the roadmaps to the targets I have in life.
Up until now, I would rather have believed God for a lot of money than a specific amount. I would rather have cried to God to bring many people into the church I pastor than to say a hundred people.
I was afraid of specificity because I was scared of not hitting the mark. I hated goal setting because there was a possibility of not hitting the mark. I was like the man who shot arrows and then drew the bull’s-eye wherever the arrows struck. Once in a while I set some goals and made them but mostly I had lived in fear of definiteness of short term purposes. Unknowingly to me, I was neglecting the incomparable power and wisdom released by the spirit when it has a definite goal constantly placed before it. Its power then becomes focused like laser. It is no longer scattered in many directions.
About repetitive conditioning; Faith comes by hearing, especially by hearing one’s own voice. If it’s been long since your spirit heard your voice, you faith has most likely waned. It takes speaking to your spirit with consistency your definite goals and the words that back them up for your faith to remain in gear.
The third thing is confidence in the ability of my spirit to give me directions; to give me a roadmap from here to my specific objectives. I had lost that confidence and I was wandering around with a dearth of inspired ideas.
Now the drought is over. It is time to be all I can be, which is all I choose to be in God’s plans.
