MoneyWalk 145: Know Your Skills and Bless Others

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Is it better to make renovations or repairs yourself or to hire someone else to do it? The determining factors will include whether or not you have the ability to do quality work, whether you have time to do it, and whether you have enough money to pay someone skilled to do it. This consideration not only confronts you in physical labors like carpentry and plumbing, but in administrative things such as whether to hire a financial consultant to manage your investments or an accountant to prepare your tax forms.

Constantly trying to do jobs that past situations show you do not have the ability to do wastes valuable resources on inefficient work and deprives others of the blessing that God wants to give them through you. In the financial realm, failing to obtain needed help and education in areas you don’t currently understand and where it takes a certain expertise to master could land you in the poor house at a time in your life when you really need to be in a more comfortable situation, such as in your senior years.

The help you need to become financially savvy and liberated from financial bondage are present in various formats via wise financial advisors, books, audio and video recordings. You should identify committed Christians that have managed their lives and finances like good stewards according to biblical instruction and ask them to help you identify media, people, and training that utilize trustworthy principles that can help you learn how to properly manage the resources God has entrusted to you.

It is natural to try and do some projects without calling in the experts in order to try and learn new skills and reduces expenses. However, once the evidence shows you are unable to do quality work to maintain your home and other areas of your life including finances, you should at a cost you can afford search for a person or resource with a proven track record of providing the quality product or service you need. In turn, your patronage may allow you to be the witness that leads your helper to Jesus Christ or your purchase could may provide the income he or she desperately needs.

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