MoneyWalk #108: Good Fruit Produces Good Seed

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Walking in the spirit is very important in managing your money properly because when you walk in the spirit you'll not fulfill ungodly lusts. You’ll spend money on products or services with an eye on God receiving glory. The fruit of the Spirit that guides your lifestyle will also guide how you steward possessions God has entrusted to you. In so doing, your fruit will produce good seed that continually reproduces good fruit (character and works) that magnify God to others.

Anytime you operate outside of God's plan for your life and do things opposite the way in which He directed, you're operating out of pride because you're saying that you know better than God does how to be successful and fulfilled in life. Also, you're fulfilling lusts because you're putting receipt of material things and short-lived pleasures ahead of your relationship with God. You're not seeking the Kingdom of God first and His righteousness trusting that He will provide you all other things necessary for life and godliness as you walk out this life.

Satan and his demonic messengers will continue to attack you with the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Never let your stewardship be guided by greed, covetousness, waste and other evil reasons taught by satan and pursued by the world. As you remain faithful to living out biblical principles in every area of life including finances, God destroys the prideful and promotes the humble. Better to let Him destroy satan and promote you than to destroy you along with satan and the demons.

According to biblical instruction, you manage money properly when you give, spend, and save reasonable portions of it to take care of all the present and future responsibilities God gave you. Such stewardship is a display of the fruit of the Spirit in your life that produces good seed to bless other people by the spread of the gospel, a living example of Christ-likeness, and help for those who are truly in need.

Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
