This program will help you undo financial bondage.
I was asked
to describe one financial principle that was more important than all others in
helping people prosper. The person expected me to say, give all you can because
you cannot out give God because He will then give more back to you than
you could ever give Him and financial problems will forever cease.
Giving is
needed and beneficial to your well-being, yet it is not more important than all
other biblical principles. Each one holds equal importance in helping you
prosper, carry out the Great Commandment and Great Commission, and complete the
work God designed the Church and you to do. Failure to regularly teach the full
array of biblical financial principles leads to a drastic downward spiral in
giving due to poor financial management. It also results in massive
church-hopping because people are too focused on the material benefits they
think they’re not getting or those they think they can get via teaching by
particular preachers.
Many don’t understand
they are planted in a local church to fellowship with other believers to worship
the LORD and learn how to share the gospel with the lost and make disciples.
This happens via loving, serving, and learning how to be under the His authority
and those He established as leaders in the church, home, civil government, and workplace.
Failure to obey the full array of biblical financial guidance leads to decreases
in tithing, offering, serving, and other giving to spread the gospel as well as
failure to conform your life to the LORD’s will. It shows satan’s financial
plan is at work in your life and results in the misappropriation of money and
resources He intended you to pull from Heaven to fulfill the work He called you
to do on Earth.
The many
scriptural passages concerning financial prosperity He desires for His people
shows preachers should often teach biblical financial principles to their
congregations, letting them know the acceptance of poverty is a curse in the
same manner that trust in wealth is a curse. This helps people understand its
importance and progressively builds the congregation into believers who seek to
give an abundant, proportionate amount of income to fund ministry work so they
can be enriched to properly care for their families and other responsibilities and
be a partner in making sure everyone worldwide has an opportunity to hear and
respond to the gospel.
Don’t mistake
a poverty mentality with making a small income or not accumulating great assets
and don’t mistake a trust in wealth mentality with being rich, having a
successful business, or accumulating a lot of assets. Rather, understand these
mindsets as showing lack of trust in the LORD’s word thus leading to improper beliefs,
failure to follow biblical principles by managing talents, abilities,
resources, and money in a way that honors and pleases Him. Properly managing finances
helps your spiritual life and finances get progressively better as time moves
forward. Surely, when others see the fruitfulness of your life, they will want
to hear your testimony. As a result, many will understand Jesus Christ has
their best interest at heart in every area of life and begin to seek Him.
Deuteronomy
6:4-9, Psalms 1:1-3, Proverbs 3:5-10, Matthew 22:36-40, 2Timothy 3:16-17

The book at the link below provides principles and
practical steps that help you use the Power To Get Wealth. By 1992, we had $135,000 of debt and a
negative $35,000 net worth. Financial bondage and turmoil led me to seek
principles and a process for employing good stewardship. As a result, we became
constructively debt-free in 1998, mortgage free January 2004, millionaires in
2012, multi-millionaires shortly thereafter, and retired in 2018 in my
mid-fifties from public servant jobs while giving abundantly to fund the gospel
of our LORD Jesus Christ. The same power is available to you!
