MoneyWalk 61: Be Content

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Being content is an attitude of heart and mind that will help you be a good steward of the resources and money that God entrusts to you throughout the stages of your life.
It is necessary in order for you to truly understand and act upon the belief that God owns everything and that you’re just a steward of what He owns who should be committed to managing it in the way that pleases Him.

Contentment is necessary for you to recognize that tithing and giving offerings should be the first and foremost financial commitment that you budget (include in your spending plan) because God commands His people to worship and serve Him in this manner. Contentment is necessary in order for you to not try to buy everything that your eyes, flesh, and pride desire and for you not to take out loans to get even more.

It is an attitude of heart and mind, developed by the Holy Spirit, that does not leave you lacking. Rather, it leads you to the Rock that is higher than you, what you have, and what you can do. It helps you see the importance of developing an intimate relationship with Him that will help you engage any of the activities you need to undertake to fulfill His purpose for you in His great plan for His people. This direct pursuit of Jesus Christ leads indirectly to the prosperity He designed for your life and family.

By delighting yourself in God, you draw closer to Him in fellowship and bypass the natural and eternal destruction brought about by succumbing to satanic temptation to gravitate to ungodly things that seem to glitter. As your fellowship with God increases, the work you’re ultimately called to on earth becomes more evident. You'll be motivated to use talents, spiritual gifts, and learned skills to bring about Christ’s rule in the hearts of men.

You’ll have a firm resolve to bypass the great amounts of money, fame, and power that you might possibly obtain by going down a path opposed to God’s will, because you understand that all your future needs and desires He has for you will be met as you pursue your calling to glorify Jesus Christ, evangelize unbelievers, and equip believers.

As you find contentment in what’s important to God instead of what’s important to you or other people, He will allow your career and ministry to others to take on much greater proportions than you thought possible. This humble and contrite attitude of heart and mind helps you properly manage money and resources and creates enormous future opportunities for you.

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