MoneyWalk 80: Believing and planning really work!

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

The bible teaches us to plan activities and processes that we will engage in, so that we are aimed at a future blessed by God and worth living. We should not plan based on fear or greed. Rather, we should plan based on faith in the Lord that commits you to do what the bible directs you to do.

Such faith incorporates evangelism and discipleship in every sphere of life by communicating the gospel. It also includes living as an example to others by serving as the hands and feet of Jesus Christ on earth in a continual maturation process whereby you allow the Holy Spirit to change you from glory to glory to reflect the image of Christ more and more. Such a life will positively and profoundly affect others around you. No matter what it seems like now, you will find crevices, cracks, and wide-open pathways into peoples’ lives that can lead them to Jesus.

On many occasions, God told people to use seemingly futile methods to accomplish goals. He then responded to their obedience by providing miraculous conquests and great reward for them. Moses at the Red Sea, Joshua at the Jordan River, Daniel in the Lion’s Den, Paul and Silas released from jail due to worship, and Jesus death and resurrection are only a few examples of obedience that turned what the devil meant for bad into good for you and I.

Likewise, start using debt-free stewardship principles contained in the bible by utilizing a written plan to detail how you’ll earn, tithe, spend, save, and invest your income throughout the year and into the future. God will speak to your inner man and use others to provide insight that will help you tweak your plan to show you how to get the most out of your life and the money which has been entrusted to you. People who take action to become good stewards in this manner generally find that their financial condition greatly improves overtime because God rewards obedience in various ways.

He may help create godly relationships with people who provide things that you need or desire. He may increase your ability to cut expenses and be more skillful in meeting your needs and desires at a lower cost. He may increase your income thus allowing you to afford to give and spend far more that you otherwise could. He will likely help you increase in each of these areas and in so many more while helping you maintain a heart of humility and sacrifice for His kingdom and the sake of other people. This will allow you to be a much greater blessing to your local church, your community, and in missions work around the world.

We are living witnesses of the effects of engaging good stewardship as instructed in scripture. God is compounding our life and finances to be much more useful in ways that did not seem possible years ago. Though at times we’ve had to say no to ourselves and other people’s requests, we haven't lost any godly friends by believing in the Word, listening for His instructions, praying, and planning by setting reasonable Kingdom based goals (including financial). Neither will you!
