MoneyWalk 108: Good Seed Produces Good Fruit Produces Good Seed

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

According to biblical instruction, you manage money properly when you give, save, and spend reasonable portions of it to take care of all the present and future responsibilities God gave you. Such stewardship is a display of the gospel seed being planted in your life that produces the fruit of the Spirit in your life that produces good seed that leads and blesses other people by the spread of the gospel.

Satan and his demonic messengers will continue to attack you with the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Never let your stewardship be guided by greed, covetousness, waste and other evil reasons taught by satan and pursued by the world. God punishes the prideful and uplifts the humble. Better to let Him punish satan and destroy his former works in you while He builds you up and promotes you than to put yourself in a position where God’s justice must punish you along with satan and the demons.

Anytime you operate outside of God's plan for your life and do things opposite the way in which He directed, you're operating out of pride because you're saying that you know better than God does how to be successful and fulfilled in life. Also, you're fulfilling lusts because you're putting receipt of material things and short-lived pleasures ahead of your relationship with God. You're not seeking the Kingdom of God first and His righteousness trusting that He will provide you all other things necessary for life and godliness while you walk out this life.

Walking in the spirit is very important in managing your money properly because when you walk in the spirit you'll not fulfill ungodly lusts. You’ll spend money on products or services with an eye on God receiving glory. The fruit of the Spirit that guides your lifestyle will also guide how you steward possessions God has entrusted to you. In so doing, the Good Seed (Jesus Christ) will produce good fruit in you that will produce good seed that continually reproduce good fruit (character and works that magnify the Lord) in you and those you touch throughout life. Then, you’re truly a living example of Christ-likeness who helps those around you who need the eternal, loving, saving, protecting relationship with Christ.

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