The parables of the talents and minas in Matthew chapter 25 and Luke chapter 19 show that the LORD expects you to properly manage the money and talents He entrusted to you according to the example He has shown you in the bible. They also show that you can expect to receive more to manage when you manage your current resources for His glory. Men may look at your role as little, but God considers what you do to be great and your life greatly blessed because of the faithfulness you display in doing His will instead of your own.
Managing your life and money opposite biblical instruction brings chaos and destruction into your life and may have eternal consequences for you when you don’t repent, turn to the LORD, and change your ways by the power of the Holy Spirit. Those who don't properly manage their incomes cannot be used by God to fulfill the purpose for which they were created and they cannot perpetuate wealth from generation to generation. Your wealth should be used to communicate the new covenant of Jesus Christ thereby leading people to the One they need to have relationship within order to live prosperously on earth and throughout eternity.
Whether rich or poor, the bible exhorts you to seek first God’s kingdom and righteousness knowing that everything you need and more will be given by Him into your life. This gives you freedom to use your money to evangelize and disciple other people, provide for your family, and start and maintain businesses that glorify God and provide for the needs of other people. Proper money management results in abundant giving proportionate to your income, eliminating debt that reduces your ability to give abundantly, and investing that enhances your ability to be a long-term asset to your local Church and ministries that build God’s kingdom in the hearts of people worldwide.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
