MoneyWalk 125: How would you feel if...?

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Most people have at least three credit cards, six charge cards, several cars and home with large monthly payments, because they've been taught to want more expensive material things than their parents provided while they were growing up and more than they can truly afford at the current time. They haven't considered the spiritual implications of these financial decisions. Namely, the Christian borrower becomes servant to the worldly lender as a result of such loan transactions.

Normal taxation of our income leaves somewhere around 60% of our gross monthly income to fund the things we absolutely need (food, shelter, and clothing) and other things we desire. However, living in less expensive shelter, food, and clothing seems like torture to most people even if it’s only for a short time in their lives. So, they borrow exorbitantly to get the things they desire. Not realizing that this will bring financial hardship into their marriages, families, and ministry with the possibility of ripping them apart or simply rendering them useless to God because they become paralyzed due to lack. On the outside, most look like they have so much: the best of everything. But they really have very little that they own and some of what they have is about to be taken via foreclosure, repossession, etc. Behind smiling faces, they’re living in torture.

God has long promoted His non-torturous system of living in short-term delayed gratification that builds you into the humble, useful, and fruitful man or woman of God through tithing, budgeting, debt elimination, and saving/investing. This pattern brings supernatural blessing upon you that will remove the pressure of debt off your back and allow all your income to be yours. At a later stage in your life, it allows you to afford more of your desires, minister more within your community, and give more in the long run when it really matters most and when you really need it most. Usually, that stage is not too much later. Many times, it’s only 5-7 years away after you purpose in your heart and take action to truly live out biblical financial principles.

How would you feel if this prioritized, abundant giving, saving/investing, debt free, wealthy life resembled you? I'll tell you: you’d feel great about ever abounding in the work of the Lord and being a good example of Christian stewardship to everyone around you. So, get started today by committing to God’s way and changing those patterns that are not in line with biblical instruction. And so shall you prosper!
