MoneyWalk #112: Building Wealth God’s Way

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

You're assured of building godly riches when you submit your desires to God’s will through thanksgiving, praise, worship, and meditation. Let Him direct your plans and work diligently in service to others in your employment, church, and outside ministry. Also, faithfully honor God by paying a tenth of your gross income each pay period to the church. Give free will offerings to various ministries and set aside a portion of your net income to give to those in need directly and through organizations that help the poor.

Make sure you budget spending so you don't spend more than 80% of your net income on pleasures and household needs. Refuse to take on debts to obtain the material things you need and want. Be willing to sacrifice by not worrying about needs and desires you cannot pay for at the current time. Thus, allowing God to provide for you and your family when you cannot. You will find that many things you consider a need are not truly a need and that you can wait on desires until you are able to purchase them without the burden of debt and consequences that follow it.

In addition, save 3 to 6 months of take home pay in vehicles that pay the highest compound interest in the most frequent intervals. Invest at least another 10 percent of your take home pay in seven or eight reliable equity investment vehicles that as an industry have netted the highest historical returns of any investments that are easy to understand and contain broad diversification (stock mutual funds, REITS, etc.). Let a professional help you draft a will and necessary trusts to plan how your accumulated assets will provide for immediate family members and church ministry after you go home to be with the Lord.

Finally, learn how to present your Christian testimony in everyday conversation with unbelievers so everyday you can tell them about the wonderful life changing experience you've had since accepting Jesus Christ as Savior and LORD. While studying the bible continually, you'll notice that men and women who accepted God’s sovereignty didn't seek riches, they sought the wealth of relationship with God produced by honoring God and utilizing biblical principles when walking out this earthly life. For this commitment, God prospered them throughout their lives to fulfill His calling and the earthly mission He gave them.

Even though some experienced death, persecution, ridicule, and the like, these light afflictions cannot be compared with the wealth of the glory of God that will only be revealed once we leave this earthly body. So let’s do all we can while on earth to use methods conforming to biblical principles that build wealth and spread it around according to God’s will, so that we can usher His glory in and bring as many people as we can under His umbrella of eternal protection and wealth.

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