How to increase the number of post in eleven40 genesis child theme

I have always being a fan of the Genesis framework, reason because, they are very good in what they do i.e creating beautiful and state-of-the-art themes for wordpress blog platform.
Before settling for the Genesis Prose child theme, i previously used the eleven40 child theme, but i had a challange in increasing the default number of post from five(5) to any greater number of post, though i got a solution to it, i still deem it fit to share this, maybe it might come in handy to someone.
Enough of the prelude, let’s move to how to get this done.
