MoneyWalk 192 Teach Money Management

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Many children are being left to raise themselves because parents are making other issues more important than spending quality time teaching principles that will make the children’s lives more purposeful, meaningful, balanced, peaceful, and joyful, as they grow into adulthood.

A lot of parents are giving children the impression:

** It’s important to have every material thing and career position they want and to be willing to pay any cost to get it.

** Keeping up with the Joneses is the priority of life.

** Being in debt is a great way to live and obtain all the comforts of life.

** They should work as many hours as humanly possible to make as much money and gain notoriety as you can even when it results in spending little time with the family (in essence destroying the marriage and the family unit).

Most parents are not teaching biblical money management principles that will help their children be content, self-controlled, service-focused, and prosperous in life in ways that matter most per the Lord’s vision for their lives, nor are they directing them to resources that could help them learn these valuable virtues and methods that will help employ them. Leading children to Jesus Christ should be the first priority of every parent and guardian. They should also be taught to pursue God’s will for their lives, incomes, and assets that come into their hands. This will not happen when the parent or guardian is not focused on pursuing God’s will in his or her own life. Children usually absorb what they see in parents and guardians more than they absorb what parents and guardians say. Godly communication and actions should play co-equal parts in nurturing them.

When children see a continually ungodly example in various arenas of parents’ lives, they often act out in the same error-filled ways and bring destruction into their lives. When they consistently hear and see godly examples, children will often respond to this influence by living godly. This enables them to truly live prosperously throughout their days. You will probably not teach godly principles and lessons when you don’t follow them yourself. Your child’s future is so important you should want to make sure he or she is aimed at salvation, inherits eternal life, and knows how to live in a way that pleases the Lord.  Such fruitfulness, includes good stewardship via employing biblical financial principles.

Thank God there is hope even when parents haven’t taught or exampled the right lifestyle and money management principles and methods because the Holy Spirit never stops reaching out to people, including children, with the truth of eternity and of living in purpose and meaning on earth. You simply should not allow yourself to be used as a tool of satan that serves as a stumbling block whose attitudes and actions lead your children away from the truth of the gospel, biblical principles, faith in action, and good stewardship that lead to eternal and earthly prosperity.

Deuteronomy 6:5-7, Proverbs 22:6-7, Luke 2:39-52, Ephesians 6:1-4, 1Timothy 3:4-5

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!
