This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Learn to properly manage what God has already given you in order to get the most out of it and to be found faithful to receive more to manage on His behalf. Instead of doing everything humanly possible to get more money, fame, or power, pursue your passion to serve the Lord and use the gifts He’s given and skills you’ve developed in the marketplace to be the best manager you can be.
Such contentment will allow you to seek and be led by the Holy Spirit. A prayerful intimacy and action will move Him to supernaturally promote you to worthwhile positions and endeavors that immensely prosper you to achieve your life’s purpose on earth as a result of your natural and humble work ethic. The truth of the scriptures show that a person who is faithful over little will be faithful over much and the Father loves to reward such faith-filled stewards.
Living by such faith is better than seeking the world’s ideals of success and using its pathways based solely on human endeavor. Worldly methods are usually greed or poverty inspired temptations that seek to move you outside of God’s will to pursue things you feel are necessary to satisfy your fleshly longings or mindset instead of listening for the Holy Spirit to direct you to the things that please Him in order to fulfill your spiritual longings, true needs, and the needs of other people.
Such discontentment always leads to greater heartaches and headaches because your desire to be fulfilled can never be satisfied by worldly status, material things, or a poverty mindset. When the worldly, humanistic path is chosen the power of God will not work to give you spiritual, eternal victory over troubles and obstacles that you will inevitably face. So, allow God according to His plan for your life, create supernatural fulfillment and great success through contentment.

MoneyWalk 459: Working unto the Lord is most profitable
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Sometimes, a job or business venture is the means by which satan and his demonic forces try to draw you away from the fundamentals of Christianity and the natural and eternal blessings that extend from it. He will try to convince you in your mind and through other people that you should not mix business with the pleasure of witnessing to or discipling people in your workplace or entrepreneurial endeavor. Not even remotely does He want you to be an example of a believer or ever speak about your trust in the Lord and how He’s making you and your life better by guiding you to the purpose for which He created you.
Rightfully, your supervisors should expect that you will spend your working time making the widgets or providing the service that you have been hired to do. It is a command of the Lord to work as unto Him as you go about serving under the delegated authorities in your workplace. He desires that you do the best you can to make widgets and provide service that will please your employer and help make its enterprise profitable.
So, the problem isn’t that your managers don’t want you witnessing on company time. They have a right to expect you to perform your duties. And, the problem is not generally with what the employer asks or orders you to do. Most often the problem is with you because you don’t recognize that simply living a life committed to Jesus Christ and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide your life and efforts, including work, will be a great witness and discipleship tool to others in your workplace.
Also, you often don’t realize that there are opportunities God provides during some lunch and break times that can be used to communicate the gospel with those who may ask about your life or share circumstances in their lives where your experiences may be helpful to them. In addition, a portion of the income God provides you from widget making should be used to help the church spread the gospel in and out of the marketplace so that people can come into the knowledge of God’s plan that leads to salvation and eternal life.
Being a Christian does not mean that you’ll do everything right, be perfect, or be liked by everyone or by your supervisors and other delegated authorities. In fact, there will be times when you may not be well-liked by certain people and they won’t agree with your lifestyle or won’t like your work. Jesus Christ is your perfection and you should seek His wisdom and be teachable in relationship with your supervisor and other associates so you can learn if it’s because you have a character flaw or work defect that you can correct.
If you or your work habits are disliked and there is nothing that you can change within moral boundaries to please your supervisors, then just continue to work as unto the Lord while believing and praying that God will help them see that you are doing your best and that your methods are profitable for the organization. If you do this God will have your back, He will move the heart of your supervisor and others as necessary to fulfill the purpose He has for you, and if necessary He will judge your supervisor and delegated authorities and bring about the consequence in their lives that is best served to meet His will.
You won’t be perfect and you may make mistakes, sometimes glaring ones, but even the toughest critics will be able to see your growth as shown by your elevated respect for your supervisors, leaders, co-workers, and workplace. They will see the increasing honesty, integrity, and faithfulness to complete your work well. They will also see that you take accountability and repent for misdeeds and correct your actions in order to be profitable to God and the employer He allows you to work for. This lifestyle of working as unto the Lord by respecting your supervisors and delegated authorities, building bridges to other associates, not compromising your morals, and doing what is necessary to be teachable so you can grow in Christ-likeness will help other people see their need for Jesus Christ and be drawn to Him.
