Everything is Available for Us

Many years before Christ – the age of the dinosaurs – people were hunters and gatherers. This today would be considered a dangerous and unpredictable way to live. The desire to have more stability and safety caused human beings to think of other ways of easing their pains and struggles, which led to the idea that goats could be kept at home, domesticated and fruits could be grown when the ground was tilled and the seeds planted and watered. Now, instead of chasing after the goat everyday across the grass plains, man brought the goats together in an enclosure and fed them the same grass from the plains. Even before this new idea, there was always an availability of grass, land and goats - but no one had thought of changing their arrangement, of domesticating the goats. A desire for a better life caused a thought that caused betterment in the standard of living, using the same material that was always there. Same with the seeds. Seeds had always germinated with good soil, rain and sunshine. Man just observed and acted accordingly.

Again, humans desired to reduce their hardships further by acquiring items they needed but did not have. They first did this by going to war with tribes that had these items. Then they desired a much safer way to acquire these items, which led to the idea that they could trade. This went along fine; the only problem being the long distances it took a person to carry a goat to exchange it with a bag of wheat in the next village. The desire to exchange faster and more efficiently led to the idea that instead of everyone walking all over the place, they can instead meet at one central spot and show all their goods and trade. A market was formed. Again, look at it closely. All the ingredients had always ever existed, but the idea that it could be done had not. A market did not drop from the heavens on this people. They simply changed their thought pattern and it was done.

The market did not solve all the problems because some other towns and cities far away were also in need of these goods – whether goats, cattle or grain – so horse drawn-carts were invented and put to use. Travelling long distances also put them in danger of being attacked by wild animals and armed bandits. The attempt to solve this issue brought about armed guards and safer means of transport. Speed of delivery also became another issue, so faster means of transport and communication were put into play to achieve this. Today the desire to trade even faster has caused us to have currency markets and stock exchanges. Imagine the time when a trader had to walk for half a day to the market, sell one cow, then walk back half a day home. Or use trucks to drive several herds of cattle or bags of grain to the market and be back home early enough to do another trip. Now we have futures and options exchanges, which enable people to buy and sell thousands of livestock futures and options in seconds without having to get up and travel long distances. Yet, nothing dropped from the heavens. It was all right here. People just desired different, and that desire took an infinite coordination of dozens of seemingly unrelated events to end up with a high-tech futures and options market and the zero need to move the cow at the time of trade.

We actually do not have an excuse today to better our lives because we have more available to us now than ever has been. We can do so much with a click of a mouse in the comfort of our homes. The only problem we may need to tackle would be making a choice of which path to take in our pursuits, which I believe has been solved through the surplus online education sites we have available to us today.

Changing the way you think opens your eyes to the different options available for you to tackle the everyday problems and challenges you face. First you may need to have faith in a divine power that can “open the windows of heaven…” so you can see He has made available to you.

Nigerians can make wonderful spouses!

Hello wonderful readers. It has been awhile now since I posted anything on my blog. I have been busy doing some other stuff. I am preparing for my wedding coming up by God's grace on October 25th 2008. I need Christians to pray for the success of the occassion.

I want to write this post based on some of the bad press my home country (Nigeria) has received on the internet and every where else.

Nigeria is a lovely third world country with lots of good stuff and ancient landmarks that speak of a rich cultural heritage and history. Just like most African countries, we live a communal life where there can be alot of sharing (information, resources and time). In as much as that is good, it has a flip side to it. If someone discovers how to scam on the internet for instance, he shares the details with his friends and relatives, who then learn to do the same and they also share and so on.

Some Nigerians are presently working hard to redeem the image of our beloved country. We have lots of Nigerians working abroad who have made a mark in their chosen fields. Take online moneymaking opportunities for exanple, we have lots of people like Akin Alabi, who are trying to teach Nigerians the legitimate way to get it right. Nigerians can actually make good spouses too!

The reason why I am interested in sharing this with you is the fact that people (especially ladies) have written in different forums to ask about Nigerians especially Nigerian men, and have been given wrong answers. One way or the other, you get to meet a Nigerian where ever you go to on the globe, doing honest stuff. I believe I am honest and I live in Nigeria and have met very honest Nigerians who happen to be my friends!

Nigerians are not the worst scammers on earth. New Yorkers can be much worst when it comes to credit card fraud, yet millions of New Yorkers are honest doing honest business and living the life of their dreams. Does that mean that people don't get scammed by New Yorkers any more? Far from it - it happens almost every day. Check the news and see. People with the right thoughts attract to themselves the right people and so on.

Our focus so far has been on Christianity and the Law of Atraction. If you have been scammed by a Nigerian in what ever form, was it because you attracted it to your life or was it because your were not careful or unlucky?

Ok here is the deal. Go through our earlier posts on this blog so you know where I stand on this issue. I believe in God and I believe that he answers prayers, however our thoughts can also attract circumstances to our lives whether good or bad. We can only insist on the good when we obey what is written in Rom 12:1-2 which talks about renewing your mind to understand God's will for you. This helps you not to operate by default but by design - God's design.

If you can renew your mind on God's plans for you concerning a business or a spouse, the right person for either the business or for friendship can be attracted to you - and he or she can be a Nigerian! Yes we can be very honest; fear not.

I am going to outline three methods I have used in renewing my mind.
  1. Read your Bible often. If you do not have one google online. Check for good online Bible teaching sites. Consistent Bible studies helps in the mind-renewing process.
  2. Journal your thoughts too! When you keep a journal, you'd begin to notice how your mind is getting renewed everyday. Some times I pick up my old journal and just laugh at my fears and uncertainties.
  3. Next spend time in active communication with the almighty. Prayer is meant to be a two-way process where you speak to God and He does the same. What you hear from Him can be good in your journal too
So much for mind renewal!

If you want to marry or want to start a business, read good balanced information on what you want. After much study, I am sure you will have an idea on what is obtainable. Next sit down, after prayer, to outline an ideal situation. As you pray daily, details can begin to appear to you from different sources (eg the news, friends etc). Write them all in your journal. When you are sure you have gotten what you want, commit everything to the Almighty in prayer, that the right people and resources be sent to you. I tell you they will come - at the right time if you do not give up.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to share them. And if you want to know Nigerias customs with regards to weddings Click here or go to http://enericky.blogspot.com to learn more. Godspeed in your pursuit of happiness and purpose. Cheers

The Law of Attraction and Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler was born on 20th April, 1889,in Braunau am Inn, Austria, near the German Border. He was the fourth child of six. His father, Alois Hitler, who was a customs official.

During the out break of World War I (1914-1918), Hitler joined the German army so he could prove to the world that Germany was stronger than other European Nations. He was quoted to have said “I was overcome with impetuous enthusiasm, and falling on my knees, wholeheartedly thanked Heaven that I had been granted the happiness to live at this time”, when he heard the news.

Hitler liked being in the army. For the first time he was part of a group that was fighting for a common goal. Hitler also liked the excitement of fighting in a war. Although fairly cautious in his actions, he did not mind risking his life and impressed his commanding officers for volunteering for dangerous missions. He won five medals including the prestigious Iron Cross.

His fellow soldiers described him as "odd" and "peculiar". One soldier from his regiment, Hans Mend, claimed that Hitler was an isolated figure who spent long periods of time sitting in the corner holding his head in silence. Then all of a sudden, Mend claimed, he would jump up and make a speech. These outbursts were usually attacks on Jews and Marxists who Hitler claimed were undermining the war effort.

When the war ended in November 1918 with Germany’s defeat, Hitler was depressed and for long periods of time he would not talk to any one. How ever with time, he joined the German nationalist party (Nazi Party) and rose up to the point of being the leader and eventually becoming the leader of all Germany. In 1933, he became a dictator over the whole of Germany. He believed that his ability to give speeches and to evoke the necessary emotions in his audience added to his successful rise to power. As a dictator, his long-term ambition of making Germany into a world power could finally be realised.

Hitler believed that Aryan superiority was being threatened particularly by the Jewish race who, he argued, were lazy and had contributed little to world civilization. (Hitler ignored the fact that some of his favourite composers and musicians were Jewish). He claimed that the "Jewish youth lies in wait for hours on end satanically glaring at and spying on the unconscious girl whom he plans to seduce, adulterating her blood with the ultimate idea of bastardizing the white race which they hate and thus lowering its cultural and political level so that the Jew might dominate."

The result of his actions led to the Second World War and the holocaust were millions of Jews perished in his infamous concentration camps. The war set him against a coalition that included the world's largest empire (the British Empire), the world's greatest industrial and financial power (the United States), and the world's largest army (the Soviet Union).

Events eventually turned round when the Allied forces started winning several victories against the Axis forces. It wasn’t long before they were marching towards Berlin. Hitler's stubbornness and defiance of military realities also allowed the Holocaust to continue. He also ordered the complete destruction of all German industrial infrastructure before it could fall into the hands of the Allies, saying that Germany's failure to win the war forfeited its right to survive. Execution of the plan was entrusted to arms minister Albert Speer, who disobeyed the order. On 30 April 1945, after intense street-to-street combat, when Soviet troops were spotted within a block or two of the Reich Chancellory, Hitler committed suicide in the Führerbunker, shooting himself while simultaneously biting into a cyanide capsule.

Hitler rose from nothing to a great person on this earth; now merely mentioning his name, evokes emotions in people years after him. The question now is: did he practice the law of attraction? I wish some of the teachers of the secret were here to give me their answer.

We are told by the teachers of the secret that we could be, do and have what ever we wanted. Hitler did but did not completely have what he wanted. Very few people do if ever. If Hitler achieved all his heart’s desire, only God knows what would have become of some of us. The so-called secret teachers would not have the freedom and opportunity today to even make such claims.

I believe in predestination. I believe that God is sovereign and once you want to go out of His will for any of His children and His plans for the world, HE finds a way of stopping you. He exists and he is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. If you would just read my post on the Ultimate law of attraction, maybe you’d see what I am trying to say.

Einstein was the man of the 20th century. He had his moments. Quantum Mechanics confused him a lot. He has lots of theories that can not be verified and probably never will. The Secret has him as one of the teachers of the secret. He didn’t become, do or have what he wanted. If he did, then maybe his views on quantum mechanics would have been totally accepted as the ones on relativity were.

Visualization?

I love reading books alot. One book that remained in my hands for a long time was one by stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of highly Effective People. One of the chapters was titled begin with End in Mind. I kinda love that phrase. It has become one of my favourites for some time now. What does it mean to begin with the end in mind?

All of us humans have an ability to use creative imagination. The ability is one of the abilities that distinguishes us from animals. 
Our imaginations have enabled  us to invent thing from the wheel to putting man on the moon. It could enable us to make things that never existed before in reality but in the mind of the one who has the idea.

If this ability works in inventions and all that, I believe it should work also for other aspects of our lives. The term visualization has been used to describe this process of delibrately creating a desired outcome that we want to see come to past in your life. It is a normal human ability. No one should decieve you into going for meditative classes to be able to do this. I do not agree that it is magical and only a chosen few have the secrets to achieving it.

We all find ourselves in different states where are completely oblivious of our surroundings. These are states that trigger creativity in us. Sometimes we are not just passionate enough about enhancing our lives. By subscribing to all the ads we see in our newspapers and the internet, we use our laziness and gullibility to enrich these people with thier fake methods and new so-called revolutionary procedures that were created just for that purpose.

If you can't visualize properly in begining with the end in mind, write. I do a little of both We all have imaginations, even if we use them wrongly. 
Spend some time thinking how you would want your future to be like. Have it in mind that not all you want can come to you. 

Prayer is a key way of begining with the end in mind. Spend time in real positive prayer, telling your Creator how things are and how you want them to be. You could think through your prayer or speak out as if He were next to you.Then end the prayer with "Not my will but thine Lord." He owns the future. He knows whether it fits with your role in the scheme of things. Before you begin any major project, spend sometime in real prayer. Use your imagination well.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine" Ephesians 3:20

If you can write out your prayer on a piece of paper, you could spend time reading it out to yourself. From the verse above, you can see that even our imaginations could be answered by God. Think only good things as much as you can. If you can spend some time studying scripture, knowing the will of your Creator and thinking them would greatly enhance your manifestation process because "His Blessings make rich and adds no sorrow to it."

The Ultimate Law of Attraction

The aim of creating this blog is too take a Christian stance to the recent buzz created by the movie and book the Secret on the age-old theory called the law of attraction. I have tried to explain that I feel deep within me that absolutely every body experiences this so-called law of attraction as sure as we all experience the warmth of the sun every day it shines without any consideration of whether we are good or bad, or to paraphrase what one of the teachers of the secret said, “…if anyone falls of a building, it doesn’t matter whether you are a good person or bad person, you’re gonna hit the ground.” My issue is the god-like status they give you without realising that if what they claim is completely true, we’d be living in a chaotic universe because everybody has different needs. If you want to get my point, go into a store or supermarket and watch shoppers making decisions and then changing their minds. If the catalog of the universe could be accessed like those of superstores, then you’d understand my point.
I don’t think its too much to repeat myself on some important points: there is a God who is in charge of this universe including our little home called planet earth. We need to align our desires with his will for us to make any important progress in this so-called manifesting process.
Sowing and reaping
I believe quite well that this is a spiritual universe. We need to sow the right words and I believe that once they are well planted in the spiritual, then definitely that seed would grow and produce fruits in the physical.

For me to say every word gets sown properly in the spiritual and definitely produces fruit in the physical would be like repeating what the teachers of the secret have been saying. Some words definitely produce fruits. One of the exercises given in the movie on the process of manifesting what you want is to start with a cup of coffee. Let me say again that if manifesting any thing you wanted could come no matter what, every teacher of the secret would be a least on the list of billionaires we have on earth.

Sowing seeds that would definitely germinate and produce fruits in reality.

“Look in the scroll of the Lord and read: None of these will be missing, not one will lack her mate. For it is his mouth that has given the order and his Spirit will gather them together.” Isaiah 34:16

When the word of God and His Spirit work together in our words and prayers, then what I call the ultimate law of attraction takes place. Let me give you another verse that confirms that:

“Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” Genesis 1:2,3

You can see that with the Spirit of God and His Word working hand in hand, creation took place. This truth happens even today. Most Christians who are serious with God study scriptures to know the mind of God. If you do that constantly and have a real relationship with your creator, then speaking His word in your life would definitely cause a real manifestation that would astound you.

Setting Intentions
The so-called teachers of The Secret and their students teach about the power of intentions. They say just set an intention and the universe would bring it to you unfailingly. Of recent, I visited the blog of Joe Vitale, one of the teachers, and I was surprised to see that he has completely reversed his opinion on intentions. He doesn’t believe you could just set any intention and have it granted. He presently prefers what he calls inspired intentions. He claims he prefers to have some form of inspiration on the intentions before sending them to the universe. That really proves that some of them are beginning to own up to the reality of the fact that a lot of their intentions don’t get manifested.

The truth is setting intentions is really like what are called declarations in some Christian circles. The difference here is the fact that the Christians would take a verse whether right or out of context to justify their needs and state it to God or just out aloud to the world, while the way it is presented by the teachers of The Secret is just to present your desires. In the end, whether we quote scripture or not, as long as it is strictly our desires we are interested in and nothing else, we are doing the very same thing but giving it different names.

I do not agree with the fact that just any man would open the scriptures all the time without having any relationship with God to understand His sovereign desires for the world and your role in it, and just make any intentions or declarations to the world or the universe and have it come to pass.

You want to experience the ultimate Law of Attraction? Have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. His Holy Spirit will be given to you to guide you and begin to tell you your role in the divine scheme of things, and manifesting things in line with that role would become simply understandable, though not necessarily easy or fast. My last post about getting a job would explain to you how the word of God in Scripture and my relationship help to bring about the desired result. If the job was not in line with my role in God’s sovereign plan on earth, I’d have had to kiss that job good-bye.

The Science of Getting a better Job

Early in the year 2007, I was working in a dead-end job which paid me below $128 every month. Some times we waited for up to four (4) months before part of the wages were paid. I had little hope for a better future.
Being a firm believer in the love of God through Jesus, I kept on praying trusting Him for a miracle Job. In my home country, getting highly paid jobs required connections of which I seemed to have none; I was frustrated and at my wits end.

I am not sure how, but some how I came across a free copy of a little e-book called The Science of getting rich by Wallace Wattles on the internet. I downloaded a copy and saved it on my old Celeron desktop for study. Reading chapter 11 Acting in the certain Way, I came across a sentence that I felt addressed my situation: “Hold the vision of yourself in the job you want, while you ACT with faith and purpose on the job you have, and you will certainly get the job you want. “

There was a research institute that earlier on in the year I had visited and submitted my resumes and because I had no one to stand for me, I kept missing opportunities. My visits there showed me how things were done: the lawn was well mowed, a rare sight in any government establishment; the workers each had a name tag hanging on their necks as dog-tags or clipped to their dresses; they came to work early; they were excited about the job; and they were highly paid compared to my dead-end job.

So I went into action. I continued to cry out to God, who was able to save me from my situation; I studied the words of Jesus in Mark 11:24, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."; then I got a my ID card and hung it round my neck like a dog-tag; I kept on visualizing myself walking around a neat environment with all the lawns constantly mowed and tended; I started coming to work early and took the small tasks I was given seriously; I started making personal financial budgets that reflected someone that earns a higher monthly wage.

My colleagues thought I was silly to have hung my ID card like that. No one was proud of the job. It was no job since people preferred to come late and close early and were hardly on seat to work. As an engineer, I was actually redundant since there was no engineering related work for me to actually do.

In the month of august, I discovered that I had missed a test for a job I had applied with our country’s Central Bank. It was distressing but I consoled myself with a verse of scripture that said, God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all. To me missed opportunities, poverty and lack are the same with darkness; but God dwells in me.
That same month, God performed a miracle as far as I am concerned – I got the job with the research institute. I presently wear my ID card like they do, I walk in between the lawns etc just as I envisioned. I couldn’t believe my eyes when my first pay check came my way.

This is a true story and I am still working there now as I type this post. I sowed a seed and through right action and thought, this seed germinated and produced the fruit called "...a better job". I have also manifested a laptop and some other stuff I can't write about now. I still think a Christian can experience the so-called law of attraction, but should do so with caution and never assume the position of God. satan tried it once and was casted down out of heaven. The principle of sowing and reaping as presented in the Bible appeals to me more. I still have some stuff i need to see manifest but yet to or might never come to past. Its a fact in life. No amount of huna or Nevillizing would help me. They might even get me in trouble. Only my relationship with the Lord would put me through it all.

Jesus Versus The Secret: A Christian’s Guide to the Law of Attraction

At the time of this writing, The Secret is the #8 best-selling book on Amazon. A book with a title like The Secret makes you want to discover what’s inside.

The secret within The Secret is the Law of Attraction, described in the book as follows:

Everything that’s coming into your life you are attracting into your life, and it’s attracted to you by virtue of the images you’re holding in your mind.

The most obvious explanation for the power of positive thinking involves motivation. In other words, positive thinking encourages positive action, and positive action causes positive results.

However, another explanation can be found in The Secret, which casts positive thought as metaphysical power:

You are a human transmission tower, and you are more powerful than any television tower created on earth. You are the most powerful transmission tower in the Universe. Your transmission creates your life and it creates the world. The frequency you transmit reaches beyond cities, beyond countries, beyond the world. It reverberates throughout the entire Universe. And you are transmitting that frequency with your thoughts!

Notice the capitalization (and deification) of the word “universe” in the previous excerpt. Despite all its talk of quantum physics and new science, The Secret is a spiritual book with underpinnings in theology and religion, where Universe and God mean the same thing.

Because of The Secret’s metaphysical nature, people may want to know if the Law of Attraction violates their religion. In fact, the book claims to parallel several world religions.

A Christian friend of mine recently said, “John, do you think the Law of Attraction is just a bunch of new-age mumbo jumbo?”

What she really wanted to know was whether a Christian could practice the Law of Attraction in good conscience, or if Christianity and The Secret were diametrically opposed. As it turns out, the answer lies inbetween these extremes.

Before we go any further, I want to share my religious background, so you know where I’m coming from. I do not claim to be an expert on Christianity, but I know something about it. My mother and father-in-law are preachers, and I was raised in the Church. I have practiced many Christian denominations: Baptist, Non-Denominational, Pentacostal — the list goes on. I have read every word of the New Testament six times, and I believe the Gospels contain some of life’s most valuable lessons, whether you’re Christian or not.

So when I was asked to share my opinion about Christiantiy and the Law of Attraction, I discovered I had quite a bit to say.

But I want to be clear: This article is not about what I believe. You are smart enough to make decisions about your spirituality on your own. This article is an analysis of how the Law of Attraction meshes with basic Christian principles – no more, no less.

The Power of Faith

One of the core principals of the Law of Attraction, as described in The Secret, is the ability of faith to affect physical change in the universe:

You must believe that you have received. You must know that what you want is yours the moment you ask. You must have complete and utter faith.

In the moment you ask and believe and know you already have it in the unseen, the entire Universe shifts to bring it into the seen. You must act, speak, and think as if you are receiving it now. Why? The universe is a mirror, and the law of attraction is mirroring back to you your dominant thoughts.

On the importance of faith, the Law of Attraction and the New Testament agree. Christianity recognizes the power of faith to bring about positive change, not merely as an internal motivator, but also as an external creative energy.

If you doubt the Bible’s position on faith, just look at these scriptures:


Luke 17:6 –If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this tree, Be uprooted and planted in the sea, and it will obey you.

Matthew 7:7 — Ask and ye shall receive.

Mark 11:23 – For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou 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.

The scripture in Mark is one of the most powerful in the Bible. It says you can have anything you want if you have faith. So are The Secret and the Bible in complete agreement? Well, not so fast.

The Christian God is not Your Genie

In The Secret, the Universe is portrayed as a cosmic genie, waiting to grant your every wish. But the Christian God is not your Genie. The Christian God is sovereign, not merely an extension of your hopes and wishes.

So what’s the implication of God’s sovereign nature upon the “power of faith” scriptures I quoted earlier? Simple: You can have all the faith in the world, but the Christian God isn’t granting your wish unless it’s His will.

This does not completely undermine the principles of faith advocated by LoA, but does apply limits to them.

Plus, the Bible has a Code of Conduct

Although the Law of Attraction and the Bible agree in principle on the power of positive thinking and the importance faith, the Bible (being a religious book) suggests a code of conduct related to what you should attract, whereas The Secret (a secular book) does not.

The Secret says you can obtain a new BMW by manifesting it. The Bible, on the other hand, suggests the futility of living a consumer lifestyle. If you want to know my opinion about the hopelessness of modern consumption, read my American Zombie article. If you want to know what the Bible says about it, read these verses:

Matthew 6:19 — Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 13:22 — The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.

Both verses hint at the temporary and unsatisfying nature of living for the material treasures of this life.

There’s more to the Bible than the Law of Attraction

The NIV Study Bible that I used as a reference while writing this article contains almost 2,000 pages, and only a small percentage involve desire manifestation. In other words, there’s more to the Bible than the Law of Attraction.

This brings us to our final point, the real impact statement of this article: If a person wants to follow the tenets of Christianity and simultaneously use the Law of Attraction, he must recognize the Law of Attraction as one small component in a larger body of Christian teachings.

A complete reconciliation of LoA with the Bible would take a book, not an article. And it’s doubtful even a book could tackle it, since reconcilation is a personal journey. Hopefully this article has given you a place to start and something to think about.
