Joseph: The Bible’s First Billionaire
Joseph Means “Whom Jehovah Will Add To”
Joseph is the one figure from the Bible who best symbolizes the idea of wealth.
He achieved billionaire status by developing a supreme wealth consciousness.
Catherine Ponder describes Joseph’s positive attributes in The Millionaires Of Genesis:
“Joseph developed charm, glamour, style, looks, culture, and refinement. He learned how to dress, how to entertain, and how to treat people properly. He had flair. All of these qualities are helpful in developing a well-balanced prosperity consciousness.”
Joseph became a billionaire by appreciating the vast wealth around him while visualizing immense wealth which he saw for himself.
What steps did Joseph take to become a billionaire?
Where Do Your Direct Your Attention?
Joseph focused on the good in everything. He appreciated wealth. Wealth subsequently found its way to him.
How often do you appreciate wealth? How often do you turn your attention to images of poverty?
Paying attention to poverty brings more poverty. Don’t listen to people who complain of money problems. Ignore the news. Envision those who appear to be poor as becoming wealthy.
Turn your attention to images of wealth. Travel through wealthy communities. Absorb the opulence. See yourself living on the estate. These thoughts and images create wealth.
Cut out wealthy images from magazines. Bookmark your dream home and wallpaper it.
Fill your mind with these images.
By becoming rich your person is multiplied. You can give more to the less fortunate while serving as an inspirational figure.
How Frequently Do You Visualize?
Joseph became a master in the art of visualization. Amid seemingly horrible conditions he held a picture of his greater good.
Ponder explains:
“Joseph was wrongly accused and sent to prison…..Instead of reacting to this injustice, Joseph continued to non resistantly gain control of his prison experiences. He kept on picturing better than the best he was experiencing.”
Do you picture better than the best which you are experiencing?
It’s easy to judge according to appearances. This is why it’s so important to take the time to see things as you want them to be. It’s the mental picture which creates the reality.
Build a mental picture of your results and you’ll receive the same results. Most who do this experience a life of going in circles.
No matter how chaotic your life may appear to be take the time to visualize at least 3 times a day. Focus on morning, noon, and night sessions.
Find a quiet spot. Let the image of a dream life appear on the screen of your mind. Build the image in detail. Experience the feelings of the dream being fulfilled.
These sessions create the picture on the physical plane. Really!
Prepare Yourself For Wealth
“Vast wealth did not come to Joseph until he was ready for it mentally and emotionally.” ~ Ponder
Joseph practiced appreciating vast wealth, picturing it for himself, forgiveness, nonresistance, and developing social skills before he accumulated his billions.
Structure your day around accumulating vast wealth.
Give yourself at least 30 minutes in the morning to mentally prepare yourself by performing affirmations or visualizing.
If you aren’t spending 2-3 hours in deep thought each day you’ll most likely fall back into competitive thought. Humans are creature of habit and like to imitate their neighbors. Most people work without thinking. Mental science is a foreign concept.
Thinking will improve your life tremendously. Appreciate the good around you. Picture a dream life. Move into action holding the feeling of wealth and watch how quickly life will change.
What have you done today to adopt a billionaire consciousness?
