About this book

Introduction
There are numerous challenges that life throws our way. For some, failure is due to circumstances beyond their control. Others miss opportunities to succeed or prevail. This book comes to you with a very clear message of inspiration – you can succeed in the name of Jesus!
Time, and life, is no respecter of persons or position. Yet, how do we explain why some people succeed in attaining laudable goals - even in the face of setbacks, handicaps, disabilities and weaknesses – and some do not? The answer is in this book.
I, like king David, discovered that, for by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have leaped over a wall
(Psalm 19:29). Success in life starts with Christ. By the finger of God I rose above what was a hopeless situation.
Do not let your circumstances, where you come from or what people believe about you, stop you from fulfilling God’s purpose for your life. You, too, can have a story to tell if you believe God’s Word.
Have there been times when you have wondered what Christianity is all about? Probably you have asked yourself if there is such a thing as true Christianity. Can one succeed in life as a faithful Christian? Can faith in Christ really overcome the world? Is prosperity in God’s plan for you? Is divine healing a reality today? Should you really aspire to succeed in life? And, if so, does God provide the resources through His word to enable you to achieve your goals?
Christianity is a mystery and, beyond all doubt, it is more than a religion. It has attracted critics and detractors for nearly two thousand years. Yet, throughout its history, all the destructive devices wicked men have set up to wipe it out have only served to accelerate its growth.
Still, some ask, Can it be that Christianity is something more than going to church? Is it God’s purpose that you affect the world with your testimony of salvation in Christ? What is faith? Does it work?
Someone once told me, I tried this faith stuff once and it didn’t work, so I stopped.
Is this the way you feel? Are these questions familiar to you?
Beloved, we can go on endlessly posing similar questions. Thank God, this book can provide some answers. It will present you with tested keys to successful Christian living that are applicable anywhere and at any time. It is important that you begin to read with an open heart. Only in so doing may the Spirit of God impress upon you those precious truths that are written here. Do not be anxious, dear friend, for it is the Father’s will that you succeed in life. By God’s Grace, I found out how.
May this book bring you a release and open new vistas of power for victory and success!
Chapter One
THE STORY OF SALVATION
Full-Gospel Christianity is more than a sophisticated biblical gimmick for fooling naïve country folk. It goes far beyond ritualistic dogmas. It is a way of life. Living in Christ is not a part-time occupation; in truth, it is a lifetime experience. Salvation in Christ is not merely a mental assent to a sinner’s prayer. It is much, much more!
First of all, we must appreciate that Christianity is not something to be used only in times of trouble, like a fire extinguisher. Rather, it is a lifetime commitment to God that gives our lives both physical and spiritual meaning and purpose.
Let us go to the roots of the salvation story. Jesus was the first person to use the term born again.
He was speaking to a top religious official named Nicodemus when He said, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
(John 3:3). Nicodemus thought Jesus was talking about a second physical birth. His confusion is understandable, because as the Bible tells us, the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God
(1 Cor. 2:14). In a similar vein, the Bible says, That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit
(John 3:6).
This last passage speaks of two realms, the physical and the spiritual. The physical realm deals with our senses - sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch. The spiritual realm cannot be detected by our physical senses. It is achieved purely by faith.
Man is a spirit. He has a soul and lives inside a body. It is important to note that without the new birth, man is not what God created him to be. He is in a fallen state, regardless of his education, status or influence. (Rom. 3:23).
In the beginning
The story of salvation reaches back into the Garden of Eden in the Book of Genesis. God Himself created man in His own likeness. The Bible says emphatically, So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them
(Gen. 1:27). God called the first man Adam, and he, in turn, called his wife Eve. The Bible says God placed them in a beautiful garden and charged them with the responsibility of cultivating and caring for it, while enjoying the fruits thereof. And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and keep it
(Gen. 2:15).
We have already established that God created man in His own image and after His likeness. In every sense of the word, man, at the creation, was a direct replica of the Creator. Bear that in mind, because it is an extremely important fact and much depends on it.
The word likeness
expresses the idea of an exact replica or duplication in kind.
In other words, God duplicated Himself in mankind. I believe that disproves the theory of evolution and all the monkey business
about man crawling around on all fours, balancing among the trees and suddenly walking upright. Man did not evolve from a monkey, but was originally made in the image of God, with full intellectual and spiritual capabilities.
God gave man supreme authority and dominion over the works of His hands, and this position was firmly enshrined in the following proclamations: "and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth (Genesis 1:26)And God blessed them, and God said unto them, "Be fruitful, and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it;and have dominion
