MoneyWalk 89: God's Financial Principles

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Jesus spoke in parables so that people would not be able to understand the truth and benefit of living by faith in Him when they had hard hearts and did not really want to believe in Him or know how to live and act righteously at the current time. Because He cultivated His relationship with Father God through prayer, fasting, and obedience He knew that many situations would take place in these people’s lives from which they might one day want to know the truth of salvation by Him and real life in Him and thus cease to be scorners and mockers.

At that time, the blinders would be removed from their eyes and their ears would be unstopped. It would seem that all of a sudden their spirits would be made alive and their minds would be able to receive the divine truth by the power of the Holy Spirit. God's instructions for managing life, money, and resources would no longer be hidden from them.

Yet, many around them would either have no godliness in what they do and how they do it or they would have a form of godliness, but deny the power of God in the stewardship of their lives and money. Let’s not forget that there are many people between these two extremes at various stages of the sanctification (maturation) process that are seeking the Lord and will eventually understand and apply biblical principles of stewardship.

Those who choose to deny bible principles are like the Pharisees who wore religious attire, sought titles, and appeared holy to men, yet refused to accept that Jesus is Savior and Lord, the only way to Heaven, and that His way of doing things should be the light of their lives. If such an attitude is not repented of by the end of their lives on earth, such people will suffer eternal doom of their own choosing.

Those who accept Jesus as the Christ will continually collectively communicate gospel truth to everyone on earth and build God’s kingdom in the hearts of men and bring forth fruit that remains. This attitude and action sets you up to be blessed throughout eternity and on earth with all the resources necessary to accomplish your individual calling and the churches collective commission.

Don't let men charge you for worldly advice when God long ago shared the only principles that will truly prosper you. Wisdom that comes from God will direct you to tithe and give faithfully to your local church, the poor, and worthwhile ministries, to spend less than you make, to save and invest, to diversify your savings and investments, to refuse to borrow unnecessarily, to refuse to cosign, and to leave an inheritance for your godly seed to perpetuate gospel ministry in the earth.

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