This program will help you undo
financial bondage.
Bible instruction
leads you to plan to give abundantly and avoid future debt to spend within your
means for things necessary and desired in this life. This becomes your giving,
saving, and spending plan that is a monthly written tabulation used to keep
your expenses far less than income and your liabilities far less than assets.
Through this discipline you will become debt-free a few years down the road and
thereafter build substantial wealth for purposes of kingdom advancement and
caring for future needs.
It gives you
greater ability to affect people with the gospel as they see & hear your
testimony & example of the Lord’s blessing and reward in your life. You
need other people’s talents and services to help you reach your full potential
because they have expertise that you do not. This will help you safely navigate
the waters you have responsibility for and dominion over, such as budgeting,
accounting, bookkeeping, paying taxes, investing, etc. No man is an island unto
himself! Thus, you cannot accomplish God’s purpose for your life without
relationships and collaboration with others. Some people will come and go and
be less involved during different periods of your life, but those who’ve been
good examples can serve as the multitude of counselors you need who identify
the biblical financial principles, values, and processes that will propel you
into His prosperous purpose for your life.
While consistently
tithing & offering and after becoming debt free, invest long-term at least ten
percent of the income entrusted to you. Put it in about seven different no-load
low-expense broad market stock index mutual funds or ETFs or similar
historically dependable high-growth investments. The bible identifies investing
as a good stewardship practice that brings great return throughout one’s life. Also,
you’ll want to put at least three percent of your income in a bank or other
financial institution in stable value accounts that pay much higher yields than
regular savings accounts. Though such funds usually grow at a much lower rate
of return than stock funds, they provide a hedge against down markets that will
help take care of emergencies and catastrophes that arise at various times
throughout your life. In addition, plan for the day when you can soon put at
least two to five percent of your income toward entrepreneurial endeavors such
as business startups, inventions, angel investing, or real estate. Such
endeavors have historically provided the highest investment growth for those who
have shown great business acumen. The discipline you learn and additional
growth you receive on your money from good stewardship practices will help you
take care of all your God-given responsibilities, give more for gospel ministry
than would otherwise be possible, and faithfully complete the plan for which the
Lord made you.

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
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!
