This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Take
the rest Jesus gives by doing what’s necessary to be intimate with Him. Also,
use bible principles to govern your life, like accepting Him as Savior &
Lord, daily reading / studying the bible, praising / worshipping / praying to
Him, fellowshipping weekly with like-minded believers, and exhibiting good
stewardship with income & assets He allows to come into your life.
With
regard to the latter character-building tool, you should tithe and give, save
an emergency fund, and develop a plan to pay off all debt to live a debt-free
lifestyle. Thereafter, you should use disposable income to grow cash flow that
remains in your control. While past returns cannot guarantee future results,
no-load low-expense total U.S. stock market index mutual funds are a great
starting point for an investing foundation. Those managed by major brokerage
houses usually have great long-term history that mimics the 11% or so annual
average growth the market has returned over the past century. From there you
can get more educated on acceptable risk and reward and investment products
that fit the tolerance you need to build wealth that will be a great asset for
you, your family, and support of church ministry.
Encumbering
yourself with debt disappoints and wears you out, because you can never really
achieve a secure level of prosperity. The material things you’ve obtained are
subject to be taken when you can no longer pay the monthly notes due. This
could occur due to job loss, business revenue reductions, increased expenses,
economic downturn, or catastrophes. Repossession occurs when you owe everybody
and can no longer pay down the loans. This never occurs when you have no debt
outstanding.
The
pressure to compare yourself with others leads you to get more expensive homes,
cars, clothes, and jewelry than other people so you can look like you're
prospering. This misuse of resources eliminates your ability to pursue the will
of God through serving and giving because you’ll become a slave to worldly
ambitions and desires that focus more upon self than upon evangelizing and
making disciples to give God glory. Also, using worldly, respecter of persons
success models to determine with whom you’ll have relationship drains you of
the opportunity to lead others to Him while giving into their lives to help
them become all He wants them to be.
Never
base your worth on your view of other people’s incomes, assets, position,
power, or fame in comparison to your position. As a believer your worth is in
Jesus Christ and no matter what the surface looks look right now you have all
His treasures and abilities necessary to be fruitful and successful in the
endeavors, employments, and services for which He made you and is calling you.
Greater success, fruitfulness, and prosperity are sure to come as you maintain
your focus on Him. This allows you to truly enter His rest no matter what
others are doing and no matter where you are in life.

Hebrews 4:1-4

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!
