This program will help you undo financial bondage.
As you walk on the road of good stewardship by using biblical money management principles, some people will ask how you came to have so much contentment, peace, joy, and blessing in your life. These are perfect opportunities to be a witness of the gospel concerning how Jesus Christ changes lives, so be prepared to share Him in overt and covert ways.
Your testimony of the salvation, eternal life, and service to others that God introduced you to and how He continues to work His will and ways in you will be a great blessing to others and will lead many to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and LORD at some point in their lives.
Even when you do not speak in Christian legalese, it's important that your answers be based on sound biblical doctrine, so the inquirers have a story (HIStory) they can research and confirm to help lead them to belief and faith. This also allows them to have a firm foundation to build their future Christian success upon.
You won’t need to quote scripture or be a theologian. You’ll only have to share the gospel along with biblical principles and/or methods you followed that have moved you forward to where you are now. For example, we always give glory to God in Christ first and foremost. Then, we explain that having a relationship with Jesus has been the most important thing in our lives because He saved us and gave us eternal life along with the ability to have peace and joy no matter the situations we face in this life.
Next, we serve faithfully in our local church and enjoy our relationship with Christ. We crucify the urge to be materialistic and show this by annually giving more in tithes, offerings, and charitable giving than we separately spend on pleasures or invest for the future. Also, we do not overwork ourselves to obtain more money or material things. But, we do plan to work a reasonable amount of time each week in order to be responsible and productive as well as good stewards of the gifts, talents, and skills God has so graciously given us.
Along the way, just like Jesus said that He would build His church and the Holy Spirit would give the increase, He also provides in our life great peace, joy, more opportunities to serve, fulfillment, and blessing. Finally, we let other people know that we await our heavenly home in the presence of God with everlasting peace, joy, and treasure that cannot be compared to anything that this world has to offer.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
