MoneyWalk 451: True Thanksgiving produces Thanksliving

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

It’s easy to think you’re giving thanks on the holiday by following the tradition of having family over and eating lots of turkey, ham, and dressing and watching football games. However, true thanks is signaled by both word and deed in acknowledging the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to win your salvation and eternal life and your action to give of your time and money to spread this good news throughout your family, community, and world.

True thanksgiving can certainly take place in the family interaction that occurs. In order to be so, you need to openly communicate that the meal and favors provided and that have previously been provided are made possible due to the bounty that proceeds from the grace of God almighty. True thanksgiving also needs to take place throughout each year in the giving of our resources to help those outside of our family who are truly in need.

All of us have something to give to help others out and sometimes to simply bless someone else. Even when we don’t seem to have much, we have more than we are aware of. We truly signal that we’re thankful when even in adversity and poverty we give to spread the gospel and help those in need. Those who are not suffering adversity and poverty should do the same to a greater degree.

Scripture signifies that those whose hearts are fixed upon Christ and truly thankful will give abundantly above what it appears they are able to give. Their thankful hearts will abound in overwhelming generosity in both physical service and monetary giving to truly help others on Earth and so that others may know they can have their names written in the book of Life in Heaven. This is the real root of Thanksgiving and when it is truly present it abounds before God and man in a great display of Thanksliving.

MoneyWalk 38: What are your assets worth?

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

You'll find that the market value of furniture, appliances, clothing, tools, and cars drop in value drastically over a short period of time. In certain neighborhoods and economic situations, the value of houses, commercial buildings, and land can also drop in value as opposed to the usual appreciation in value that takes place over many years of ownership. This reality of the value of your material goods should help you exercise godly wisdom when making purchases.

Don't put all your effort in accumulating money and goods for earthly purposes. They decay, lose value, and have no eternal worth. Rather, build treasure in heaven by giving abundantly to spread the gospel. The value of this treasure increases throughout eternity and where your treasure is your heart will be also.

God’s highest desire is that you seek a more intimate relationship with Him. Through this fellowship He is likely to provide you with many material blessings. Bible accounts of patriarch/matriarchs with great wealth clearly show that their wealth came from intimacy with God and obedience to His will.

Earthly assets have true worth and eternal value only when they are used to spread the gospel and build the kingdom of God in the hearts of men. So take your cue from these leaders. Engage an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Understand that He owns everything ever created and thus has the right to decide its purpose and direct its use. Be wise in acting this out by making sure that everything you do is pleasing to God and every resource you receive is used to serve others, your family, and yourself according to His will. Then your assets will truly have worth.

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

MoneyWalk 37: You need Jesus Christ in order to make it!!!

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

I can teach you biblical money management principles like tithing, offering, planning, budgeting, debt-free living, refusing to co-sign, saving, investing, and smart lending. I can also show you methods that employ these principles such as organizing, recording, top down bill payoff, leveraging, etc. However, abundant financial blessings derived from these principles and methods won't give you what is most important: A relationship with Jesus Christ providing salvation and eternal life.

A relationship with Christ allows you to bypass the righteous wrath of God that would otherwise judge you as worthy of punishment in Hell because of your sinful nature and sins you’ve committed. Sin produces negative results in your life and renders you unable to achieve lasting inner peace and joy in good and bad times. The wages of continual un-repented sin is eternal damnation but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. He is the only person by whom you can be saved!!!

You cannot enter heaven without publicly confessing that Jesus Christ is your Savior and Lord. All you have to do is confess Him now, if you haven’t already done so. Then, you will receive the gift of eternal life and the Holy Spirit will begin to lead you and guide you into truth. He will help you live in a manner that is pleasing to Father God and help you use money and resources in a way that bear much fruit on earth that cannot be corrupted or stolen.

One reward for such a life is that many friends will meet you in Heaven because you played your God-given part in helping them see their need for Christ. Another reward is that you don’t let money entrusted to you become corrupted and moth eaten on earth. Instead, your faith-led acts of worship and service store up meaningful treasures in Heaven that awaits you.
