MoneyWalk 222: The Business Of Purpose

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

When faith in the Lord does not guide you then you misunderstand your sole purpose for being (having intimate relationship with Him) and veer away from the use of your vocation as a means to worship Him and be a blessing to other people.

Faith is more than just a word and it must be quantified and displayed in a personal intimate relationship with Jesus Christ that leads you to live according to His moral plan laid out in the bible. It should not be guided by commendations that you receive or desire from other people. Instead it must be guided by doing and saying those things that scripture instructs in conjunction with the Holy Spirit’s leading.

Sometimes people will like your moral standards and how they guide your life and sometimes they won't. Some will say you are wise or intelligent and some may say you are ignorant or stupid. Nevertheless, you should choose to march on in good works produced by faith knowing that man is never wiser than God.

Many stories in scripture show that people can become wealthy when their guiding principles come from faith in Christ. His providence and the choices He allows you to make point you to a variety of jobs, career, and entrepreneurial undertakings (including those that are ministry and mission based). It is your responsibility to engage these employments in a Christ-like manner free from greed, narcissism, oppression, and other ungodly heart conditions. Be more interested in pursuing His specific purpose for your life via good stewardship than in obtaining wealth to lavish upon yourself.

Many people have prospered immensely in their personal and business lives when applying faith in Jesus Christ to their work, business, and money management practices. Everyone should be talking and living by faith, no matter what their business, employment position, or calling because it is the will of God that we produce godly works and avoid ungodly works (even the very appearance of evil). Only then will your work glorify God with fruit that remains as a beacon for others to see and engage relationship with the one and only Savior and LORD, Jesus Christ.

MoneyWalk 221: Faith In Business

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

All businesses are started by faith because "faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen." A person starts a business believing that there is revenue out in the world waiting to come to him. He cannot see it but he hopes for it and then obeys his belief by working to find a product or service that he can offer to other people that will cause them to give their money in exchange for his product or service.

This level of faith can produce great earthly abundance for some people, but it does not lead to eternal life. Faith in Jesus Christ alone leads to right standing before Father God enabling you to inherit an everlasting home in Heaven. Then, His will and way via biblical instruction should be the guiding principles for you when you start a business or if you already have a business (lucrative or not).

When it's not, you will go outside biblically moral boundaries to produce earthly wealth or some other eternally meaningless, short-lived satisfaction. True faith in God and the integrity that it produces in Christians is a vital means by which we use our business resources to support the preaching of the gospel in our community and throughout the world to lead others to Jesus Christ so they can inherit eternal life. It does not mean that we do not also donate time and money to other meaningful charity work, yet each true believer wants everyone to have this precious eternal inheritance and will make sure that funding of the gospel is his / her number one priority.

Thus, we do all we can to present the truth to people without forcing them to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Force is not His way of operating but persistence, patience, establishing His standards in your life and business, and willingness to be a mouthpiece for Him are definitely His way of doing things. It's very important that your faith be expressed in your personal and business endeavors in a way that produces good fruit.

MoneyWalk 220: The Bible Way

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Scripture identifies that people with faith in the Lord give a tithe of their income in order to help spread the gospel of Jesus Christ within their own community and around the world. In addition, through employing this biblical principle you will:

• Help fulfill the Great Commission given to believers.

• Honor God by being a good steward (manager) of the possessions He gives you.

• Show that His will is the first and main priority of your life.

• Show where your heart is truly located (in the world or in God).

• Allow supernatural reward, protection, and blessing into your life on a continual basis.

Because tithing is percentage based (10% of increase) and not based on a denomination of money, it is inherently fair to everyone because every believer gives the same proportion of income to the church for ministry work, regardless of their level of income. A person with no income would tithe $0, whereas a person who earns or receives $100,000 annually would tithe $10,000, a person who earns or receives $1,000,000 per year would tithe $100,000, etc.

The story of Abraham told in both Old and New Testament passages example for us how great people of faith tithe, thus showing the world around them that Jesus Christ is LORD over all their life including their finances.

Some people argue that we live in the dispensation of grace and not under the law and therefore God gives us no commands to live by and especially not tithing. However this argument cannot be correct because the Great Commission in the bible says that we must teach other people all that God commanded. Other letters to the saints identify commands in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to refrain from or to take certain actions.

Many Old Testament laws were done away with, but those things are clearly identified in the New Testament or never mentioned in it. Tithing is mentioned in the Gospels as something we ought to do as a complement to justice, mercy, and having faith. Also, the writer of Hebrews makes it clear that we tithe to the One of whom it is witnessed that He lives (that can be none other than Jesus Christ) and that He receives our tithe in Heaven though we bring it on earth to His appointed authorities.

Jesus didn't condemn the law rather He fulfilled it by doing away with the need for us to perform works to gain entry into His presence and Heaven but also by identifying a few commands as works of faith. His living in us by the Holy Spirit gives us all the power and wherewithal we need to obey His commandments when we otherwise would not be able to do so by human volition.

MoneyWalk 219: Change So You Go In The Right Direction

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Just like we must utilize biblical money management principles in order to fulfill God's will for the use of our resources in order to bypass financial tragedies that could otherwise occur in our lives, we must also utilize biblical principles in other areas of our lives to:

*Bypass tragedies that could occur.

*Have an added measure of God's protection on our lives.

*Present us with the experience of fruitfulness we need to rid ourselves of fear and worry that we might not prosper doing things God’s way.

When you have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, your endeavors to discipline and control your appetites and actions will be Holy Spirit influenced, guided, and empowered. Only then can you truly fulfill the perfect will of God in the earth and build treasure in Heaven.

Some people are currently confused, believing they can do a good work or two on one hand yet continue ungodly practices on the other hand without receiving the consequences of the ungodly practices. There is a point in time when the corruption of people becomes so bad (via engaging fornication, sexual immorality, pornography, crime, divorce, lackadaisical child rearing, and greed) that God's wrath against sinfulness is directly poured down upon that person, community, or nation.

Each person should repent, pray, and use self-discipline to engage lifestyle activities that will eliminate ungodly practices. Interfaith prayers, philosophies, and religious activities will not bring about such change because you cannot mix godliness with heathenism or else you compromise the truth of salvation, sanctification, godly fruitfulness, and eternal life in Jesus Christ alone. You should love other people groups (in the ways the bible instructs) but recognize only His truth will make you free.
