First Words

There has never been a greater need in Christian circles than at this time to comprehend the Bible truth about God's plan for His family. Many fine Christians have been left with a negative and mediocre expression of Christianity (the religion), and have little understanding of Christianity as the way of a Father with His family.

This book commences by introducing the wealth of truth in the Bible concerning the greatness God has planned for all His children. The first section takes as its foundation the record of Adam in the first three chapters of Genesis. If it can be demonstrated that God's will for Adam was greatness, then His will for believers today must be for them also to enjoy the seeds of greatness. Four seeds are discussed in detail and the potential fruit of their growth in your life is described.

God has also shared how to apply these seeds--what I call His secrets of success. These are the only secrets that really have guaranteed results. Certainly there is help in the magnitude of success books, magazines, videos, and audio teachings that are now available, but let us not forget that God had laid down these principles first. In the third section of this book I use God's command to Joshua as a foundation for eight secrets of success. As you apply these eternal principles, "then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success" (Joshua 1:8).

As an example of the importance of the mental principles we need to apply, chapter 7 goes to the book of Numbers and share the "grasshopper philosophy". The record of the 12 spies unnecessary journey into the Promised Land has valuable lessons for Christians today. The fourth section of the book also encourages you to evict those attitudes and concepts that make it possible for others, including Satan, to take advantage of you, so you can cease being a victim and become a victor. You will learn that you are IN-dependent when you have Christ within, and are not dependent or co-dependent on others. You do have abilities to use and freedom of choice. You can be in reality all that God has planned for you to be.
