MoneyWalk 83: Where do I start my turn-a-round?

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Many people are not confident in their ability to be all that God wants them to be including managing money. For some, this insecurity comes from feeling that they're not worthy to be used by God or blessed by Him. Others feel they’re simply not good at math or planning. Still others believe they have not been elevated to an income level that really matters to God.

Unfortunately, many people have been socialized to believe that they are nobody unless they have a large income or a position title with importance, authority, or fame. Many people express this view of themselves in their words and actions and some don’t even recognize it. They say things about themselves or the position they are currently in that belittles them. Overtime, this produces great unconscious insecurity within them that will stop them from standing up, speaking out, or taking control in the ways that they really need to do throughout life.

The following and similar statements are signs of such insecurity, “I’m just a secretary” or “my opinion really doesn’t matter” or “I’ll never be anything good” or “I just can’t manage money.” The ideology behind such statements is satanically inspired because it is the opposite of what you should be saying, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me!”

Satan tries to blind the minds of all men to the truth, because he knows the truth will make you free. We can take the blinders off men by letting them know that they are wonderfully made by God with the power to do everything He commanded them to do when they allow the Holy Spirit to lead them. Then by scripture and example, we can encourage them to love others, perform good works, and properly manage money for the benefit of the Kingdom of God and their families.

There's nothing wrong with having an important title and large income when your life is sanctified for God's use. Yet everything is wrong with these things when the fruit thereof does not directly or indirectly honor God, lead others to Him, and build them up in the faith. Every believer can perform mission no matter his position because he is an offspring of the Most High God.

Those that desire God’s kingdom to come and His will to be done will be used mightily to do the work of the ministry. They will spend time daily with the LORD in prayer and bible reading. In addition, they will tithe, give offerings, and use their physical and intellectual gifts to serve inside and outside their local church. Honoring the Lord in these ways is where your turn-a-round starts and you trustworthiness is maintained.

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