This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Looking through natural eyes men
have always branded as “rich” the people with the most money and high-cost
material resources while at the same time believing those to be “poor” who
currently have little money and low-cost possessions. We many times think of
multi-millionaires and billionaires as the haves and seek to be like them
because we want to experience having the most just like they do. In addition,
we tend to think they must automatically be acceptable in God’s eyes and
pleasing to Him because they would not have otherwise amassed worldly riches
and the culture of worldly academics, business acumen, good speech, engaging
public character, and lifestyles of the rich and famous connected to it.
On the other hand, we sometimes
believe the middle class, mom’s living on welfare, and low-income families are
the have-nots who might not be acceptable to God because they have not
displayed the vision, plan, actions, and networks to amass worldly riches and
many times seem to barely get by. We avoid many of them because they lack a
desire for finery, have slang-ridden speech, and their character is not trying
to engage us in a next big endeavor. At the very least, let’s be honest about
the fact that we tend to show greater respect for and cater to people who
appear rich based on what we can see in the natural. They are our ideal of
self-made, successful people who have it all. We think if we can only be in
their presence, we can at some point have the same kind of wonderful life and
worth we believe they have.
Stop looking with your natural eyes
and begin to see with your spiritual eyes. Jesus said the abundance of life
does not consist of the things one possesses (including money) and it
profits a man nothing to gain the world then lose his soul. While God may bless
you and reward you on earth or allow you to be blessed, your worth is not based
on how much money or fine things you have accumulated.
Your worth is solely and wholly
based on having a relationship with Jesus Christ in accordance with the bible.
This is the only relationship that saves you from the wages of sin, which is
eternal damnation. It ensures that you are the most (in Christ) and have
access to the most eternally and on earth, as needed for the purpose and plan
that He created you to pursue. As a believer, the Holy Spirit leads you in a
way and often by a principled process of lifestyle including money management
that helps you be of service to many other people in your community and around
the world. Budgeting including tithing and giving abundant offerings, saving
for emergencies, eliminating debt, refusing co-signing, investing, and
diversifying assets help you manage money and resources He entrusts to you so
you can do all He wants you to do in this life. Only faith in Christ ensures
you truly have the most of what really matters.

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!
