MoneyWalk 68: Hope springs financial

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

God desires that you live abundantly on earth, so that you are able to take care of all your god-given responsibilities. The reality that you can, after death, live with Jesus Christ in Heaven should move you to love Him and keep His commandments in order to live the abundant life He desires for you.

Your financial mindset must not come from the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, or the pride of life where you assume that God’s priority is to give you wealth so you can live in greater comfort and splendor. Rather, your mindset should be founded in the hope of everlasting life in Christ so that you use wealth to enormously support the Great Commission while also appropriately caring for your family and yourself. Any other mindset will lead you to a place that is eternally hot and filled with the horror of weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Honoring God by tithing and offering is a primary way that we show whether or not we really believe in the blessed hope of eternal life that comes only through Jesus Christ. Many worldly people (even some that identify themselves as Christians) will advise you in a manner that makes your desires your highest priority. This is incompatible with the mind of Christ, biblical instruction, the leading of the Holy Spirit, and spiritual maturity because the will of almighty God is the highest priority for every true believer.

It requires that we preach, teach, and live the gospel to reconcile other people to the hope of salvation that we hold so dear. From such hope all other worthwhile dreams, aspirations, and endeavors spring forth into a life that is well-pleasing to God.

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