MoneyWalk 23: Managing money by love

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

In order to have a solid spiritual foundation, you must believe with all your heart that God loves people so much that He sent His son Jesus Christ to die on the cross to eliminate the judgment due your sins in order that you, believing on Him, will have everlasting life.

He loves you immensely and desires that you would choose to have relationship and fellowship with Him thru Christ even though you deserve eternal punishment for the sins you've committed throughout your life. He already provided the blood sacrifice and every spiritual tool necessary to secure your eternal life and blessing when you display faith in Jesus Christ.

The Holy Spirit living in you and guiding you as a result of your relationship with Christ enables you to forsake sinful, worldly ways of living via a continual maturity process (sanctification and commissioning to good works in service to Him and others on earth). You must love Jesus Christ with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, which is the first and greatest commandment. Also, you must love your neighbor as yourself, as this is the second greatest commandment. These are the foundation that must undergird all that God called you to be and do.

This means you must manage your life, including your finances, in the way that God has identified in the bible; loving Him so much that you care more about spending money on earth in a manner that brings people to the Lord and builds treasure in heaven than you care about how much you can increase your material lifestyle and comfort.

This love leads to daily prayer and scripture reading which hides the Word in your heart. It also leads to regular weekly fellowship with other believers so you can move on to deeper fellowship with Him. These love-based disciplines constantly and faithfully aim you in the direction of engaging in biblically based good stewardship of your income, assets, and resources. This in turn ensures that you fulfill your God-given purpose and ministry calling to be blessed in order to be a blessing to many others.

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