The issue of money is one that is not really thought in our schools yet we all leave school and are faced with stark reality of heavy financial responsibilities and with the big question " will I make it in life? will I be a financial success?". These are real issues that everyone of us is faced with on our daily adult lives. There are some principles about money that you need to know. These principles when strictly adhered to will produce results in your life that would first of all change your attitude towards money before they now change your financial state.
Principles are sets of rules that function everywhere they are applied, they are time tested rules which function no matter the situation. The Law of gravity is a principle that keeps everybody on this planet from falling into space, because the earth is actually spherical and some people are on top while some others are below, but those below also feel as if they are on top. If you jump up, it is gravity that pulls you down, if you think you are anointed and jump off a 3 storey building, you will be met with "concrete justice". So also are the laws of finance, if you disobey them, financial quagmire is your portion.
Robert Kiyosaki said "what makes people rich is not their fat bank accounts, investment in stocks,bonds, high salary job but it is financial intelligence, it is the know-how of the function of money that makes someone rich". The rich are getting richer because they solve their money problems by being smarter and employing people that are smarter to help them out, while the poor get poorer because they never learn how to solve their money problems and get into greater debt in order to solve their money problems.
If you are really serious about financial freedom you must take the issue of Financial Education very seriously. I cannot over emphasize this. If you want to get into the realm of being financially free, be prepared to learn about how to money works, be prepared on how to manage your personal finance. You cannot do without listening to financial seminar tapes,buy books on personal finance,reading financial papers and magazines like Stock Watch, books on investments and savings. See friends, take a look at the lives of millionaires you will find out that they are extremely busy people who are experienced investors and financial experts, they put their money where it would grow and they don't just spend anyhow.
One principle of building wealth is this : More income (money) less outgo (disciplined spending). You have to have self-control over your emotions that makes you spend on impulse. Having more money will not solve your problem. You can get ahead financially with what you have right now, with your presently salary you can get ahead financially. See, money is a magnifier, more money will enlarge what and who are. If you are a reckless spender, money means more reckless spending. Someone is not proud because he has money, he is proud because pride was inside of him all these years, waiting for a platform to ride on. The truly humble gets even humbler with the more money they make.
In concluding for now...the truth about making more money is that you should increas your streams of income...that we will talk about next. Stay Connected!

THE TRUTH ABOUT MAKING MORE MONEY
I have come to know that about 80% of what we do daily is tailored towards making more money for ourselves. When you woke up this morning, you left your house in order to go to work so as to make money,if you are self employed or to do your job, if you are an employee or to supervise your company, if you are a business owner. It's as if we all came to this world to make money, I've heard people say that life is all about money, women and drugs...hmm...how true is that I don't know, but if you've been following this series on Inspiring Moments you would definately know better...Life is really about impact, fulfilling your God-given purpose. You are here on assignment. Have you found your place of assignment?
The truth about making more money is that you don't get wealthy by a bigger pay-cheque or a huge money contract. Surprised? Please don't be. Both the rich and the poor have money problems. The money problem of the poor is "not enough money" while the money problem of the rich is " too much money". Getting ahead financially requires two things : financial literacy and discipline. Yes, as simple as it seems those are the basic ingredients I have come to find out which I can use as a summary of what it takes to be financially free.
I know that the dream of every adult is to be financially free, yeah, everyone of us looks up to the time when we have enough money to buy what we want, go where we want and do what we want,and you know what? It is possible. Then how can one be financially free? Thanks for asking that question, am so glad you did. To be financially free, you need to know how money works, you need to set your priorities straight, in order words, financial literacy and discipline are the two major requirements to be financially free. I know many books on investment and personal finance profer alot of keys to success, rules of wealth creation, principles of financial success, rules of money etc But basically, they all boil down to these two principles I have mentioned : financial literacy (financial education) and discipline.
You have to be ready to change in order to get ahead financially. Let me give a quick summary of what to do in order to be on the path to financial freedom:
1) TITHE: You should give 10% of your income as tithe
2) SAVINGS: You should save 10% in your savings account,which is meant for extreme emergencies
3) INVEST: You should invest 10% in a mutual fund,shares or any other venture where the money is quaranteed to have the propensity to grow
4) BUDGET :You should budget all your monthly expenses to fall within the remaining 70% of your salary. You should ensure that all you spend in a month does not exceed the 70% left after tithe,savings and investment. Anything that is above that should be put forward till next month
5) LONG TERM PLANNING : Budget all expenses 3 months ahead. You should have an idea and well-written down plans of your future expenses, all major and minor things should be on your plan. \
6) AVOID IMPULSE BUYING : Impulse buying is the main reason we run out of cash. It makes your salary to be spent before it is earned. Haven't you wondered why is it that before the month ends, for salaried workers, that your salary is already gone? Stop impulse buying ,most of the things you buy with impulse you don't really need.
7) PAY YOUR DEBT AND AVOID FUTURE DEBTS : Debt is another major drainage of income, haven't you noticed that once your income arrives, debtors show up? It's as if you're being robbed in broad day light! But the truth is you've already eaten your cake before you had it through impulse buying and getting what you don't need for survival for the now.
8) INCREASE YOUR FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE : Attend financial seminars,listen to mentorship tapes and VCDs on personal, increase your library of personal finace books. Read, read and read about how to increase your financial intelligence through planning,budgetting,savings,investing and owning your company.
9) ESTABLISH YOUR OWN COMPANY: You cannot get rich by working in a salaried employment. Haven't you noticed that most wealthy people you see today own their personal company? Just name them, Ben Murray Bruce, Larry Izamoje,Wale Adenuga,Richard Bradson, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Alhaji Aliko Dangote etc name them, they all have their personal company. God said he will bless the work of your hands. You have to give him what to bless, your business is the conduit he need to bless you with. Think about it.
10) GET FINANCIAL MENTORS : You are like those who look up to, your reference points are what you would ultimately end up like or even more than. You want to be financially successful, do you have tghe list of the 10 wealthiest people on the planet? What did they do to be successful? What are they into? Success has it's tracks, follow the path they've set you will get to where they've gotten.
In concluding for now...you have to start thinking good thoughts like "it is possible for me to be financial free". It all starts from your thinking. STAY CONNECTED!

BEING ALL BE BEST YOU CAN BE: Maximum Living
Life on earth is really about impact, it is about adding value to the world you belong. I believe life is not just about being born, growing up, going to primary school, the university or polytechnic, getting a job, getting married, raising children,growing old, retiring and die...no! I believe that there is much more to life than that.
This then behoves on us the responsibility to find out our personal niche, our personal reason for living and becoming what God really have for us. See, being successful should not just be seen from the context of making lots of money, it should be seen from the aspect of fulfilling purpose, fulfilling what God has for us. Picture this, at Heaven's gate, would you be glad that all your gifts and purposes, the businesses, the books and CDs you were destined to produce, walk up to you and say "thanks for bringing us to life, thanks for releasing us, you have completed your course", or would you rather want them to walk up to you and say, "we were supposed to be released by you but you failed to say yes to your destiny, now we were unable to come out of you and bless the Earth, you have failed us", is that what you really want?
See, you have to come to grips and sincerely answer this question of "Purpose", because no truly happy life is devoid of fulfilling it, none!. I was thinking recently and was talking with a friend, we hear of Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Graham Bell, Philip Emegwali and a host of others, these men said yes to something that was buring inside of them and now they have eternally blessed the world, their names are written in the anals of history. Infact the world is blessed by their works! So, I ask you a question which I want you to answer: What is your major definate purpose for living? What are you living for? Who are you impacting? Who are you blessing? What is that thing that is burning inside of you and crying for expression? I just wonder.
Who are your mentors? Who are you listening to on a daily basis? You ultimately become like those that are feeding your dreams of life and speaking to your hear. Do you have, by now since you've been following these Inspiring Moments Series, your Life Dreams and Goals written down clearly on paper? Are you really serious about making an impact? Get a big note book and write them down, do it today, do it now!
See,friends, my sincere prayer for you is to make an impact, that after going through this post, you will make up your mind to sit down and write down in black and white, your life Goals and see them come to pass! I did that and today, I would say am not doing so badly, all the things I wrote down are gradually unfold in my life! The house I live in, the car am going to ride, all these things I have seen in my mind before they start coming to pass...what are you seeing about your future?
We are architects of our future, my favourite books says " A man's heart deviseth his ways but it is the Lord that directs his paths", no matter your dreams and aspirations, you need God to fulfil them. Connection to your manufacturer is paramount. You can only have true and good success through having God on your side.
I see you at the top! You will succeed, it all starts in your mind! Stay connected, you have too much inside of you to loose this race of life!

THE POWER OF IMAGINATION: Activating the power within.
Hello friends,I want us to talk about a very important topic before we go back to our "Re-discovering the Kingdom of God" series. Recently I picked book and was blown away by the contents, a book by our own very insightful Pastor, Sam Adeyemi,he was talking about the Wonders of Imagination. So, I want to rush to you some of my findings. I bring you excerpts from the book and some of my comments. Enjoy!
In the realm of Imagination, all things are possible. By your imagination, you are not limited to time. You can choose to play pictures of the crossing of the Red Sea by Israel and see yourself there. Through your imagination, you can break free from the limitation of space. This means that with imagination you can actually bring to pass what you really desire. So let me ask you : what do you really desire? What have you been having inside of you? Are they thoughts of setback,defeat and failure? You can never rise above your thoughts because The Book says " as a man thinketh so is he"...so what do you think about yourself? How are you seeing your tomorrow?
Change your thoughts and you will change your life. It is what you have in your mind that you will eventually produce in your life? What is that dominant thought you have? Henry Ford said "if you think that you can or that you can not, you are right", meaning what ever opinion you have about yourself you will eventually produce. Once you have a powerful imagination of success, victory and good health, things around you and your body system will be working to fulfil that purpose.
Our minds works like the camera, once it has been exposed to light an image is formed in the film and when it is printed you will see the image there, just like it was. So, whatever images you have been forming in your mind about yourself will ultimately be produced in your life. Believe me, all you see in your life right now are as a result of how you've been seeing yourself, your inner reality would ultimately turnout to be your outward reality, this is one of the secrets of success!.
In the account given in Genesis, God said that "...this thing they have imagined to do,nothing can restrain them because they have one language". The Bible also gave us things to think about, not just anything but certain things,it says "whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of a good report,if there be any virtue... think on these things.
I see your thought life change and you also change for good! You will succeed.
In concluding for now...You have the best tool for success-- your mind, pray and ask God to empower you for positive thoughts. One of the ways to start that is to begin reading the bible and meditating on it...the Word of God, the Bible, is your ultimate success manual.

RE-DISCOVERING THE KINGDOM: The Original Purpose for the world.
Hello friends, answers to my mind-bugging questions are popping up on a daily basis and I feel very impressed to share them with you. Some of these questions are: why did God create this world? What's the purpose of this "mankind" idea? Why are we put here? What are we supposed to do, if Heaven is our home, then why come and spend sometime here, and ofcourse, when is the second coming of Christ? Please don't be stunned by these seemingly questions because like you know that here on Inspiring Moments, it's all about out-of-the-box thinking and looking for solutions to problems and answers to questions that faces us as individuals,nation and as a world.
From research I have seen that the original purpose for the world is actually a govermental one, a Kingdom Government setup. Heaven is the home country while earth is the colony, God wanted us (man) to taste dominion, to know what it's like to be in control that's why He created the Earth. As long as we are with Him in Heaven, we can't really taste dominion or rulership. Heaven is God's domain while the Earth is man's domain for dominion,power and impact. You see, untill we really discover our purpose as rulers of this world, we would not really make much impact.
Everything in this world is all pointing to the fact that God wants us to dominate, to be in the position of power where we were before the fall of man. You have to see yourself as a Kingdom Citizen, not just a christian but as somebody on a mission, a divine mission to have dominion and impact this Earth. You see, the changing of this world is highly dependent on us, God will not do for man, what He has already empowered man to do for himself. That is why,the issue of discovering your position in Christ and what He has purposed for your life is very important, it's up to you.
One of the greatest discovery in the spiritual realm is to re-discovery the mystery of the Kingdom of God and know that you are a Kingdom Citizen and destined for great things...greatness is yours by birthright, you were born great, you were born rich, too rich that your physical mind can't conceive it...it takes the eyes of the spirit to see it. Can you imagine this?: The God that created the air we breathe, the majesty of the mountains, the beauty of the oceans, the intricate connectivity of the vascular bundles of leaves, the awesome connections in the iris in the eyes that helps us to see images, this God that created the ever-expanding vast universe...this God is your father!
Please, hang on with us on this series of "Re-discovering of the Kingdom of God" because these series is bound to change your life and your thinking about your stand as a child of God and as a Christian. You are a Kingdom Citizen so therefore the systems of this world as supposed to bow to you. You are from a Kingdom that operates above this world system...you have to be born into it by being born-again.
In concluding for now...it is the father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. S-T-A-Y C-O-N-N-E-C-T-E-D!

THIS BORN-AGAIN THING: Re-claiming the real you! (Part 2)
Hello friends, like we started yesterday, being born again is a very important aspect of our lives as christians yet many of us seem not to really get the real meaning of what it means. Sometime ago, I was wondering and asking so many questions in order to know and understand the whole meaning of life on earth: Why are we all here? Why did God created man? Why have so many great men of God and God's generals come and gone and yet the earth remains? What is this grand plan of God for the earth that we've been preaching the coming of Christ for so many years and yet He is yet to come?
These and so many other mind bugging questions I have been asking and just recently this year, 5th of April,2009, to be precise,I came across a book that actually answers these questions and this books is part of the recommended text given for yesterdays post- Re-discovering the Kingdom of God by Dr Myles Munroe. Please get that book and also the DVD Kindgom Principles, it is a recommended reading and viewing, highly recommended!. This born-again thing is actually about re-claiming what you originally were created to be and do on earth, it's about your true identity.
The reason why Christ preached about being born-again is because He wants to take you back to the original state that God created you to be-- the place of dominion,power and control over the circumstances of this life. You are royalty, you are the son and daughter of a King,you are a prince and you don't even know it, you are a princess and you don't even know it! God is your father! I believe friends, that the greatest discovery in the spirit realm is to come to the knowledge that God is your father!
If only I could get you to believe that God is as much of a direct father to you just as your biological father, if only I could get you to see with the eyes of knowledge and revelation your true identity, you will jump on your feet and shout out loud "Eureka! I've found it at last!". See, you are a king on this earth, that's why He is the King of kings, we are lords on this earth that is why He is the Lord of lords! You are so special and destined for great things that is why the devil wants to steal,kill and destroy your destiny!
Being born-again is not just one common place cliche that is so overused these days in our churches and christian centres, being born again is re-claiming your rightful position, it means being born into the kingdom of God. There is a Kingdom lifestyle and culture that is filled with power authority and dominion and you can only access it when you get born again. You are actually doing yourself a whole world of good by getting born again, believe me, because all you do in this life will not matter if you fail to be born into the original purpose of God for your life...remember we said earlier in Inspiring Moments Series 1 that the fulfilment of your purpose is the ultimate measure of success and it is the only thing that gives true joy and satisfaction. So, friends I ask a question: are you born again?
Getting born again is only a prayer away,please feel free to talk to your Father in Heaven and ask Him for forgiveness of sins and ask the Lord Jesus to come into your life as your Lord and personal saviour! There you are!...welcome to the Kingdom of God! A whole new world awaits you, I can only imagine the great things that you'll be doing henceforth.

You are royalty, you are the son and daughter of a King,you are a prince and you don't even know it, you are a princess and you don't even know it! God is your father! I believe friends, that the greatest discovery in the spirit realm is to come to the knowledge that God is your father!
If only I could get you to believe that God is as much of a direct father to you just as your biological father, if only I could get you to see with the eyes of knowledge and revelation your true identity, you will jump on your feet and shout out loud "Eureka! I've found it at last!". See, you are a king on this earth, that's why He is the King of kings, we are lords on this earth that is why He is the Lord of lords! You are so special and destined for great things that is why the devil wants to steal,kill and destroy your destiny!
Being born-again is not just one common place cliche that is so overused these days in our churches and christian centres, being born again is re-claiming your rightful position, it means being born into the kingdom of God. There is a Kingdom lifestyle and culture that is filled with power authority and dominion and you can only access it when you get born again. You are actually doing yourself a whole world of good by getting born again, believe me, because all you do in this life will not matter if you fail to be born into the original purpose of God for your life...remember we said earlier in Inspiring Moments Series 1 that the fulfilment of your purpose is the ultimate measure of success and it is the only thing that gives true joy and satisfaction. So, friends I ask a question: are you born again?
Getting born again is only a prayer away,please feel free to talk to your Father in Heaven and ask Him for forgiveness of sins and ask the Lord Jesus to come into your life as your Lord and personal saviour! There you are!...welcome to the Kingdom of God! A whole new world awaits you, I can only imagine the great things that you'll be doing henceforth.
Stay connected!

THIS BORN-AGAIN THING: Claiming the real you!
Hello friends, you are welcome to another series on Inspiring Moments with John Obuku & Friends, because it's all about you and me, dealing with critical issues that affects our lives and motivating ourselves to the top. Please, enjoy yourselves and I sincerely hope you will find in the pages of this posts things that would serve as sources of inspiration for you to give that final blow to crack the wall demarcating you from your goals and aspirations.
I have always wondered what the whole idea of being born-again is all about, why we as christians find it difficult to be born-again or remain born-again...I have come to find out some truths that I would love to share with us. Please, I would like you to read this with an open mind because you might find some of these thoughts actually challenging but they are never meant to pose a holier-than-thou attitude,that is never my intention throughout this series,never!
I believe being born again is one of the most wonderful things that can happen to an individual. Being born again is actually re-entering your true self, re-entering the Kingdom of God to which you originally belong. Being Born again is coming to the fullness of what God actually created you for, it's a life that is actually beyond the limitations and boundaries of life here on earth. It is being born into the type of life Christ lived here on earth.
I believe for us to get a real insight into this topic is to look at what Christ said about it...I find it very profound that the first statement He made after His baptism by John was that he went about preaching about the Kingdom of God, isn't that wonderful and interesting? The message Jesus preached the most is about the Kingdom, he mentioned born again once in John 3 but all through His sermons, he was talking about the Kingdom...He would say that the Kingdom of God is like this...the Kingdom of God is like a man that went to a far country...the Kingdom of God is like a precious pearl which a man finds and...Please look up John 4:17,Mark 4,Matthew 13. Even when Jesus taught us how to pray, he mentioned the Kingdom..."your kingdom come"... you see! There's the kingdom word again! I cannot over-emphasize it.
Even in all of God's creation, the reason He created earth is all about the Kingdom of Heaven. Heaven is the home country while earth is the foreign country, the colony. We are here on Earth to impact it with the power, will and intent of our King (God Almighty) and let "as it is done in Heaven be done on earth". By being born again you re-position yourself for all the fullness of blessings,provisions and power to fulfill your God-given destiny. Being born again guarantees good success, because there's a bad success that ends up in penury and destruction at the long run.
You will end well...only get into "this born again thing" life and see for yourself a whole new world. I love you all.
Stay connected to the Kingdom of God, and I know "it is the fathers good pleasure to give you the kingdom". STAY CONNECTED!
