Introduction

The Creative Power of Man

Getting rich is

a result of doing things in a certain way. That is, there are principles to follow. Opportunities are not monopolized. No one builds a fence around wealth to exclude others from acquiring it. There are an abundance of opportunities for the man who will swim with the tide rather than go against it. Wealth is an acronym. The full expression of Wealth is What everyone aspires lovingly to have.

Part of a successful life is to aspire to be healthy and wealthy. Health comes before wealth, the reason why we always say health is wealth.

There are the four sensible and sensitive questions of life which need to be answered by an individual intending to succeed in any life endeavor

(i) Where Am I comi ng from?

(ii) Why Am I here?

(iii) Where Am I going?

(iv) How do I ge t there?

The questions above are of utmost importance that every purposeful man must be able to ask himself and answer. These questions help every individual to determine how to fulfill his destiny and achieve maximum success.

While God is identified with creative power, the fact that He created man in His image bestows man the same power to create and we witness this in the various developments all over the world. Human beings’ superior mental capacity makes them to be in a better position to use their creative power to add value to themselves, the significant others, and their society at large.

The Psalmist extols the creative wisdom of the Almighty God when he said "How many are your works, LORD! In wisdom you made them all. The earth is full of your creatures (Psalm 104:24). So man has the power to create anything, within the limitation of God.

There is however the need for man to have Advancing Mind in whatever he does, it is the human mind that drives one to success or failure in what one is doing, with faith and purpose that better things lie ahead. It must be understood that in the scientific method of doing things, we encounter the competitive plane and the creative plane on our way to progress.The more men who become wealthy on the competitive plane, the worse for others; the more who get richer on the creative plane the better for others. We can conclude that progress is achieved when the world experiences a situation whereby more get rich on the creative plane. God was not competitive but creative and liberally supplied all human needs.

Human economic solutions can only be achieved when a greater number of people practice the scientific method of creativity and become wealthy in the process. The multiplier effect of these results is the wealth of a nation. However, an individual must have the determination to become wealthy and direct action toward the realization. Not only must your thoughts and actions be focused on the determination, you must believe you can achieve wealth and struggle toward achieving it.

Simply put - Readiness + Determination + Thoughts + Belief + Actions bring about Result. The Result in this respect is Wealth. You can see here that your mind, body and soul are all involved. The Concept of Wealth comes from the mind. Whatever you determine must first be conceived, before taking steps to bring it to reality. The PBR formula is relevant here - you pray, believe and receive. John Mason is of the opinion that you may succeed if nobody else believes in you but you cannot succeed if you do not believe in yourself. Your mindset plays an important and active role in your achievements, financial or otherwise. In other words your achievements spring up from ideas, because ideas rule the world. Ideology which
