MoneyWalk #114: God's Wisdom Confounds The World

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Many people seek the same thing: to become rich in this life so they can have luxury, happiness, and the praise of men. They're convinced that having riches and the business savvy it takes to obtain them pleases God or it doesn’t matter whether He’s please cause in their mind He doesn’t exist. Many have become arrogant in their knowledge and abilities and disrespectful to those they believe are not as great as they are.

They will use any means to get rich including deceit, oppression of the poor, and other immoral behavior. When men praise their success they oppress even more. Such worship becomes their aphrodisiac and the must get more of it at all costs. They disregard people, sometimes their own family members considering everyone beneath their income, power, or fame level to be lazy, good for nothing, free-loaders who aren't worthy of a gift or a hand up.

In case you currently think this way in any area of your life, beware that worldly knowledge puffs your head up when it is not accompanied by godly understanding and wisdom. Such knowledge doesn’t allow you to see that you aren't worthy to be in God's presence regardless of the millions you amass and industries you control. You have no goodness or deed that can be done to make you acceptable to Him.

Just like He did for those you look down on, He clothed Himself in flesh on earth and shed His blood for your redemption despite all your shortcomings. He’s appointed you to be a child of God, a son of the Kingdom, and one of His heirs but you must accept this powerful and eternal relationship and position by repenting of your sin and accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior.

God has no problem with you having riches. He wants to show you the way to obtain them and how to use them to honor Him, spread His gospel, help many other people, and store treasures in heaven for the eternal life He’s able to provide you. Please beware that your continued failure to accept the deep personal relationship He offers will bring about arrogance, pride, and lack of giving to the church. Such a lifestyle will bring negative consequences upon you maybe in this life, but surely after you sit at the Great White Throne Judgment if you do not repent and turn to Christ before you die.

The world’s wisdom overlooks this truth, but God’s wisdom confounds the world by truly prospering you after you make His will your priority and use only moral means to build relationships and wealth.

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