MoneyWalk 322: Prosperity The LORD’s Way

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

If you want financial promotion that is pleasing to the LORD stop using investment methods, principles, and values that are not confirmed in the bible as trustworthy to prosper you, positively serve others, and please Him. Otherwise, you will be in bondage spiritually even if monetarily you have gained the whole world. Learn biblical financial principles, which work for everyone, and most importantly lead to heavenly blessings and secondarily to earthly blessings.

Educational degrees, human networks, political alliances, crime, books, magazines, and get rich quick television programs won’t bring the fulfillment you seek, nor will they produce peace and joy in your life. Unless the vast majority of people using these methods have relationship with Jesus Christ and seek guidance by the Holy Spirit with regard to good stewardship of their lives and money, our socio-economic system will result in more and more impoverished people in the face of a very small percentage that receive great benefit. God’s plan has always been that the whole nation will be blessed and receive a heavenly inheritance of His life and treasures, which is to also be experienced during our remaining time on earth for the fulfillment of His plan and our individual purposes.

This blessing and reward occurs and continues to gain momentum only when we turn to His way of living and managing our money. Everyone who chooses the opposite path, which is unbelief in the LORD Jesus and His ways, inherit the promise that one-day their riches will be given to the believer for the purpose of leading many people to Christ, discipling them, and giving Him glory eternally. Don’t spend time worrying about whether or not you will profit in your endeavors, prosper, and greatly enhance your finances and life. Instead, put away fear and walk in obedience to let the power of using biblical principles help you reach your God-desired prosperous destiny in this life.

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

MoneyWalk 321: Debt Will Drag You Down

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Many people look for blessings from the LORD yet they follow satan’s financial plan. Some are unaware that they’ve fallen into his plan because they don’t study scripture on a regular basis and thus don’t learn which principles are pleasing to God. Others know they’re violating God’s word, but overlook godly conviction and fall to temptation because satan’s path allows them to obtain the material things they want quicker and with little known sacrifice. They excuse their behavior by saying the rest of the world uses these methods.

Satan always wants you to see and mimic the few examples of people who appear to prosper using his plan, who refuse to use God’s principles and incur massive debt in order to get lots of stuff beyond their means and some who over leverage in their entrepreneurial endeavors. He wants your desire to be rich to ensnare you in his trap and cause you future pain and likely put your family and business in jeopardy of destruction, loss, repossession, bankruptcy, and foreclosure during poor economic cycles and /or times when your particular business hits a period of decreased revenue.

Understand that everyone’s life and business will be surrounded at times by economic downturns. Even some billionaires and multi-millionaires throughout history and businesses like Enron, WorldCom, Coldwater Creek, Sears, Kmart, GM, and many more experienced chilling effects of these happenings. Such facts should not lead you to fear doing what it takes to be a good steward, profit in your endeavors, and prosper overall because scripture lets believers know that the LORD did not impart to you a spirit of fear. Rather, upon you accepting Jesus Christ as Savior you were given a spirit of power, love, a sound mind, and self-control.

This will allow you to be a good steward of the many blessing He lavishes upon you in a way that brings great reward and helps spare you from devastating aspects of such cyclical occurrence. Often those that suffer the worst long term effects have continued to do what men often do (take on massive debt to try and get where they want to go) as opposed to what the LORD instructs us to do in managing money.

You put yourself in harms’ way when you ignore biblical instructions about budgeting, living within your means, debt avoidance, investing, and wealth building. Contrary to popular opinion it is possible to live this way and prosper and is the best way to do so. Otherwise, you’ll take on more debt than you can handle and may ultimately compromise your relationship with God, your family, and the Church by spending inordinate amounts of time doing things to keep up with the Joneses. This lifestyle will cause many hardships that will zap your peace, joy, and ability to fund Kingdom service. Remember, you are neither profitable nor prosperous even if you get rich on earth by forsaking godly purpose, principles, and / or relationships.

MoneyWalk 320: What is Money For?

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Money is a construct whereby people agree on a medium of exchange that allows each person to derive value for the use of time, talent, and/or creative abilities. It can be different in different nations and among different cultures. In this day and time it is usually a paper based system established by a particular nation as its government sanctioned medium of exchange for its people based on the value of its resources and economic output. Each one desires all other nations around the world to consider their medium an acceptable value for trade between them.

This certainly is not an all-inclusive description of money but no one needs to know the entire description or fully understand all its uniqueness and value in order to know that it is necessary for each person to have at least an adequate amount, manage it well, use it to do much good in the world, and prepare in order to have a greater ability to successfully navigate the unknowns in the future we all face on earth. We know we need it to purchase things from other people that are needed or desired (shelter, food, clothing, transportation, etc.) and to give to others in order to help serve people beyond our individual ability in ways that we consider to be good for our nation and mankind.

The biblical based mission for your life including money is to be the best steward you can be of everything the LORD allows to come into your hands in order to give Him glory by being the best witness to unbelievers and example for believers that you can possibly be. When Jesus Christ is the author and finisher of your faith you don't want anyone to perish, rather you want everyone to recognize he/she can inherit eternal life, which requires that he/she accept Jesus Christ as Savior and LORD in order to obtain peace with Him.

The desire for greater intimacy with Him should lead you to better stewardship. This begins the process of soul renovation where you put off worldly ways you learned to do things and step by step learn to live by His standards. The Holy Spirit will lead you to tithe and give faithfully and abundantly to your local church in order to help evangelize and disciple as many people as possible to help them bypass the Great White Throne judgment against all who disbelieve. He will also instruct you to live on less than your net income, work to become debt free, and utilize investment methods within godly boundaries that help you accumulate wealth via the investment of income from your jobs, careers, businesses, and other employments. These are necessary components to help you properly utilize money in order to prosper to fulfill the mission that Christ gave the Church and you.

MoneyWalk 319: Get The Rest You Need

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Take the rest that Jesus gives by doing what is necessary to be intimate with Him and use the standards He established to govern your life: accepting Him as Savior & LORD, daily reading / studying the bible, praising / worshipping / praying to Him, fellowshipping weekly with like-minded believers, and exhibiting good stewardship with the income and assets He allows to come into your hands.

With regard to the latter character building tool you should tithe and give, save an emergency fund, and develop a plan to pay off all your debt and live a debt free lifestyle. Thereafter, you should use disposable income to give abundantly and grow the money that remains under your control. Total stock market, no load, low expense index mutual funds with a great long term history that mimics the 11% or so that the market has returned over the long haul will be a great starting point from which you can get more educated on acceptable risk and reward and investment products that fit the tolerance you need to build wealth that will be a great asset for you, your family, church, and other people as you move into the future.

Encumbering yourself with debt disappoints you and wears you out, because you can never really achieve a level of prosperity that’s secure. The material things you’ve obtained are subject to be taken when you can no longer pay the bills that are due. This could occur due to job loss, business revenue reductions, increased expenses, economic downturn, or catastrophes. Repossession occurs when you owe everybody and can no longer pay on the loans. This does not occur when you have no debt outstanding.

The pressure to compare yourself with others leads you to get more expensive homes, cars, clothes, and jewelry than other people so you can look like you're prospering. This misuse of resources eliminates your ability to pursue the will of God through serving and giving because you’ll become a slave to worldly ambitions and desires that focus more upon self than upon evangelizing and making disciples in order that God receive glory while you’re on earth. Also, using worldly, respecter of persons success models to determine with whom you’ll have relationship drains you of the opportunity to lead others to God while giving into their lives to help them become all that God wants them to be.

Never base your worth on your view of other people’s incomes, assets, position, power, or fame in comparison to your position. As a believer your worth is in Jesus Christ and no matter what the surface looks look right now you have all His treasures and abilities necessary to be fruitful and successful in the endeavors, employments, and services for which He made you and is calling you. Greater success, fruitfulness, and prosperity are sure to come as you maintain your focus on Him. This allows you to truly enter His rest no matter what others are doing and no matter where you are in life.

MoneyWalk 318: Shake Off The Devil

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Jesus shed His blood for the redemption of your sin and God raised Him from the dead because He loves you and wants you to spend eternity with Him in heavenly places. As a free will being, you have a choice between accepting Him as Savior and rejecting Him. Acceptance brings you into the wonderful plan He has for your life now and throughout eternity. Rejecting Him puts you on a path to eternal torment if not repented of before this life is over because you in essence agree with the plan that the devil has for your life.

He uses demonic beings and unwary people to lead you to financial, personal, and family problems throughout your time on earth as well because his purpose is to steal from and destroy your life in order to spite God. Sometimes, the natural eye cannot see your turmoil especially when you have a good income and many of the comforts of life, but you know it's there.

Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior & LORD and governing your life by His principles bring peace and joy to your life as well as fulfillment of purpose. He will show you practical methods like living by godly standards, spending within your means, eliminating debt, and tithing for ministry work to help you shake off the devil in order to live in the manner He's always planned for you and that would bring you the greatest blessing and reward.

MoneyWalk 317: Live In Abundance

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Many people think abundant living is something reached once you amass a million dollars or more in assets because this is often the financial situation men focus on as the one where a man has become rich. Not to mention, men often give even greater accolades to those that earn million dollar incomes. Almost every voice around us, even some in the Church, lift up people in these two categories as icons of God’s will for each man.

Certainly, these are great positions to be in as long as the path that leads one there is directly in line with a lifestyle that pleases the LORD and a plan in the center of His will for people on earth. There are many occupations that please Him and there are many that do not such as pornography and crime and there are many character traits pleasing to Him yet many that are not such as arrogance, lying, deceiving, and oppressing others. It is acceptable to Him to honor people that achieve and earn great incomes and assets who do so in accordance with His will. Yet, these are not the only people living abundantly and others who do so should also be honored.

People should also be praised who pursue missions ministry and those that faithfully serve and give in the local fellowship and community to evangelize and make disciples of other people at home and abroad. This includes the many people that to the natural eye don’t seem to be doing anything great or worthy of accolades, yet they are faithful in helping ministries be great at doing what is necessary to affect and infect the world for Christ, leading them to salvation and eternal life.

While men can do things on earth that may be praised because it helps other people in some way (provides jobs, find technologies that make work easier, help homeless people, etc.), we must learn to praise as godly only those whose communication and lifestyles lift up the LORD Jesus Christ and point to Him as Savior from the wrath that satan and those who remain unbelievers will bring upon themselves.

Abundant living that scripture speaks of will not come via money, yet having more than enough money to do all that God called you to do will be an intricate part of it. The LORD does not want you poor, broke, and in financial turmoil. Thus, the Holy Spirit speaks to us about good stewardship and desires that we pursue lifestyles and character that employ it. No matter your current level of income or assets, the following simple steps will discipline you, ready you for His work, let you know He is your source, and help you make His will the first priority in your life. First, consistently tithe to your local church. Second, develop and utilize a budget to stop overspending your income and use found money and income increases to build a $1,000 emergency fund while you pay off your debts. Third, seek to use your gifts, talents, and skills for greater income producing endeavors. Fourth, after all consumer debts are paid off, build your emergency fund to $10,000 and then focus on paying off your home mortgage. Thereafter, pursue reasonable investments with your much larger disposable income.

MoneyWalk 316: Destroy Lack In Your Life

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

In order for Christians to undo bondage they have been trapped in each Church must regularly speak the word of faith, in accordance with biblical instruction, during worship services when the vast majority of members are in attendance. Most members will not use greater levels of faith to accomplish the LORD’s will on Earth as it is in Heaven, when they are not taught what thus saith the LORD. They will go through life being mediocre at best, not understanding the lifestyle, character, and good works He wants them to do to show His glory in their lives and to other people. It is important to recognize our duty in helping destroy lack in the lives of others. The Holy Spirit moves upon what we teach to bind and employ it in the hearts of believing hearers.

Good financial stewardship is a subset of the life, character, and good works He wants us to display. Belief in and actions to engage require the same type of regular training. Each Church needs to regularly teach principles such as godly vision for fruitfulness and prosperity, declaring and proclaiming it for our lives, goal setting, working as unto the LORD in the marketplace and in ministry, giving abundantly, budgeting, eliminating debt, no cosigning, saving, investing, diversifying assets, and other helpful principles that lead to increased revenues for fulfilling the Great Commission. These things are connected with prayer, praise, worship, studying the Word, fellowship, and other Christian disciplines. Often, they will not be studied or engaged when they are not regularly taught.

The failure over many decades to properly train the body of Christ to earn and manage money according to biblical principles has resulted in Christians walking, talking, and acting like the world and sometimes not knowing that they should believe different or do better. Satan uses this lack of training as an opportunity to motivate people to constantly air beliefs and methods on media outlets that contradict biblical instruction. A lack of example of good biblically based stewardship by prominent Christians and an appearance of great prosperity by 2% of the unbelieving population of the world has many believers walking in hardness of heart against biblically based principles and methods. Though they have not found the beliefs and methods of the 2% working for them, they believe more in them and what they see than they believe what scripture says.

Of course some of what unbelieving financial pundits teach does not conflict with scripture, but people are directed to do it for the wrong reasons: the glory of self instead of the glory of God. Believers need to live in the reality that they need or want nothing that would be obtained outside of beliefs, principles, methods, and boundaries that line up with scripture. The Word makes it clear that it is better to eat bread with the poor than to dwell with the rich who are wicked and there is a situation on Earth that makes one look rich when really he is poor and a situation that makes one look poor when really he is rich. Lack will truly be destroyed when you align your work and ministry with biblical instructions that produce fruitfulness, prosperity, and profit.

MoneyWalk 315: Every Biblical Principle Is Important

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Every person who comes to Jesus Christ starts off as a baby with regard to the knowledge of His will. Through daily praise, worship, prayer, reading / studying scripture, and weekly fellowship with Christians they gain knowledge and understanding of His will in the same manner a baby is socialized / cultured by continual contact with parents. The baby Christian’s pathway allows godly principles to be instilled via ever deeper intimacy with Christ and mature Christians show how to use them. Over the years greater maturity is achieved that results in employment of biblical principles in his / her life.

Unfortunately, some think people they can please God and receive His blessing and reward by adhering to one of His principles (tithing for instance) but rejecting one or more of His other principles (employing debt-free living, failing to save, invest, etc.). Such a lifestyle is an abomination of God’s biblically stated desire for each person just as it would be if one were to pray, worship, and study the bible but decide that it is acceptable to engage pornography or criminal behavior. This lifestyle displeases the LORD and if not repented results in grave consequences.

As with anyone on the path to maturity, you will misjudge some things along the way and make mistakes, yet your heart being one with God’s heart will cause His mercy to overshadow you and His grace to carry you on to fulfillment of His purpose for your life. Loving God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength and loving your neighbor as yourself is the key to following all godly principles because you desire to employ them knowing He always, in every situation, has your best interest at heart.

Every pastor making sure that every biblical principle including each financial one is succinctly taught each year to the congregation to which he / she is appointed is necessary to make disciples of us, bring the blessing and reward that the LORD desires for us in the earth, and help us layup treasure in Heaven. This practice leads believers to put line upon line, precept upon precept, and principle upon principle to correct worldly lifestyles by initiating the plan of God for their lives.

MoneyWalk 314: The Right Kind Of Wisdom

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Most people like to think they are wise and desire to be considered wise by other people. They seek ways of doing and obtaining things they believe will display their wisdom to those around them and to the world. However, being wise in their own eyes, they trust more in their own intellect, abilities, and networks to bring success to their lives than they trust in the living God.

The communication and activities of many people show they do not believe they can be anything worthwhile or important unless they do things the world’s way or at least compromise godly principles here or there. Their lustful minds say that riches, luxury, fame, and/or high corporate position will bring happiness and fulfillment to their lives. Thus, they pursue these things by any means necessary. Some convince themselves that the LORD is pleased with such pursuit even when the method is not consistent with His character and instructions. However, the bible shows that happiness and fulfillment come only through an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ as He imparts wisdom to make you truly successful in His eyes and to people who see things from His viewpoint.

God alone and no one else is able to impart real wisdom into your heart and mind that will help you live godly, please Him, and thus succeed in everything you do. This causes you to uncompromisingly employ His principles in your life no matter what situation you face because you understand that it’s better to be poor with godly integrity than to attain wealth, fame, or power through ungodly compromise. He wants you to be intimate with Him and seek His wisdom. This relationship gives you the power to get wealth, establish His covenant in the earth, be blessed, and bless many other people along the way.

MoneyWalk 313: Discipline Produces Growth

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Due to a recessionary economy or bear market that usually occur once every ten or fifteen years but only last an average of eighteen months it seems many people suffer great personal financial and business loss and many are forced into foreclosure and bankruptcy. These economic situations bring high unemployment and loss of income where all of a sudden they have more in monthly debt payments than their monthly income can handle. Many people, if they have investments, have a heavy concentration of assets in one company or one sector of the market and usually in a faddish one whose value has long ago risen to astronomical levels before they purchased the stock or business. Then, the value fell precipitously when the bad market reared its head. All of sudden the assets they thought would protect them are not enough to cover the debt payments they owe.

Poor stewardship practices that result in people experiencing a downward financial spiral are failure to:

• Refuse to use debt.

• Establish a budget to intimately know income and appropriately manage expenses.

• Eliminate debt during past rising economies and bull markets when they had increased revenue and income.

• Quickly reduce unnecessary expenses when they see signs of economic trouble.

• Build an emergency fund in high yield savings accounts at banks or credit unions in order to take care of their expenses in emergency situations.

• Put at least 10% of gross monthly income in investments they understand and know the long-term history of.

• Diversify assets by putting portions in different classes of investment with seven or eight brokerage houses (Vanguard, Fidelity, TIAA-CREF, TD Ameritrade, etc.).

• Understand that getting more debt will not help them alleviate financial problems.

Increasing financial education will help you understand that more debt does not lead to debt elimination rather it leads to debt accumulation. It also helps you find equity investments that have a history of solid long-term growth so you can choose them for your diversified portfolio and control emotions to maintain your investments when there are short term market gyrations. Most people do not reap huge long-term growth because they constantly buy investments at high prices and sell them at low prices. Your long-term conservative yet moderately risky plan will cause you to buy investments at low prices and sell them at higher prices. It will help you avoid speculative investments and business deals that would become worthless before you could sell them or get your money back.

Short-term losses in the equity market will occur for even the most astute investors. However, they quickly subside and the market roars back to a point much higher than it was before it went down. In addition, recessionary economies and bear markets do not negatively affect every business and type of investment. There are always some that thrive when others experiences losses. Thus, you have the ability to overcome losses and experience tremendous growth when you engage the biblically based discipline of good stewardship.

MoneyWalk 312: Steps to Building Wealth

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

After studying the bible you'll notice that our Christian patriarchs and matriarchs didn't seek wealth rather they desired to please and honor the LORD by obeying the directions that He gave them for walking out their lives while on earth. This commitment to Him caused them to prosper in the calling He placed on their lives. They were provided with more than enough to carry out the duties necessary to fulfill their callings (which ranged from prophet to priest to king to intercessor to businessman / woman, tent maker, other work in the marketplace) including caring for their families and the people of God.

You're assured of God prospering you when your number one priority is seeking Him in praise, worship, and prayer. These disciplines will cause His will to become your plans and desires. Through them He’ll confirm that you should live by biblical principles such as:

• Working in the marketplace to provide for yourself and family.

• Tithing and offering to church ministry in His honor in order to help propel the gospel throughout the world and help those in need.

• Keeping a budget to ensure that your monthly spending is consistently far less than your monthly income.

• Taking action to totally eliminate your debts so you can live debt-free.

• Saving a portion of your income in seven or eight different investment vehicles with a greater emphasis on higher yielding equity ownership.

• Drawing up an estate plan to provide for your loved ones and the church after you die.

These are principles that wealth is built on and that you must take focused and incremental steps to achieve first in prayer, praise, worship, and then in action through relationships with accountability partners that seek to live by the same pattern and whose interaction will help encourage you to continue employing them in order to reach the promised land that the LORD has prepared for you.

The bible shows that people should honor the LORD by developing an intimate relationship with Him that results in consistent serving & giving of an abundant proportion of time & money to the Church resulting from the overflow of His love shed abroad in their hearts by the Holy Spirit. We should use an abundant portion of our income and assets to faithfully do the good works of evangelism and disciple-making and distributing to help meet other needs of people because God’s will for allowing us to make or receive a living is more important than all of the excesses and opulence we could purchase for ourselves and our families.

Indeed, His will and our part in carrying it out on the earth is more important than looking and living like the rich and famous of the world. Now that does not mean that nice things or expensive things are off limits to you, but it does mean that your first and foremost attitude and actions should be to abundantly give and serve before you consider lavishing upon yourself. Thus, opulence and excesses are measured as the situation when a person obtains position, power, fame, or riches and/or purchases desired material things for him / herself without first and continually being rich toward the LORD and the work He instructed us to do while on earth.

Scripture shows you also should not oppress, misuse, or abuse people or use any-means-possible in order to build or maintain wealth. Now the question is: do you still want the responsibility that comes with being rich? Some want to be rich to load themselves with all sorts of material goodies without any thought of what will be required of them on Judgment Day. Don’t be afraid of God allowing you to obtain great monetary resources and don’t think you’re useless to Him if you don’t amass the level other people might think you should have.

Rather, put on the mind of Christ that you’ll faithfully, consistently, and abundantly honor Him now in tithing, good works, and other forms of generosity in recognition that you’re already rich in Him and destined for greater prosperity throughout your life. Use faith and biblical financial principles to discipline yourself to do what God instructed His people to do in this arena of life.

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

MoneyWalk 310: Why You Should Follow God’s Plan

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

More people are being persuaded that great riches in this life is our heritage and that we must obtain them by any means necessary. Some say it is necessary that we become rich in order for the gospel to be preached throughout the earth and for people to be made into disciples. God owns everything including money and in His omnipotence is able to expand it throughout the earth and in our lives. Certainly, He desires that we be blessed and rewarded for choosing to love and follow Him, obey His commands to love others, be good stewards of money and resources He provides, and by faith to put our hands to good works that will be pleasing to Him and fruitful.

Let’s be clear, the power to draw people to Christ and transform them is in the gospel not in money or the amount thereof that a person or a Church has available for use. Regardless of the economic circumstances of nations or individuals, the gospel has always been preached with disciples added to the church and it always will be. Thus, no matter our current financial status we should always seek to share the gospel with others because His love is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost producing hope of eternal life and faith for fulfilling purpose in this life.

When we understand this godly pattern, we follow the path of giving and principled living that shows what we really believe and that produces blessing and reward in our lives. A few questions you should ask are:

1) Do my communication, lifestyle, and checkbook progressively show that I love the LORD more than anything else?

2) Are my lifestyle and financial stewardship pleasing to the LORD, in line with the bible and the Holy Spirit’s guidance?

3) Do I spend adequate time each day and week reading the bible, praying, fellowshipping with the Church, and serving thus refusing to allow money-making and pleasure seeking endeavors to drown out time with the LORD?

4) Do I seek to serve and endear others to Christ, thus refusing to display a selfish mentality by seeking only my own betterment and pleasure?

For a believer, faithful work in the marketplace performed in the proper context and balance is within the realm of worshipping the LORD. Therefore, you should pursue opportunities that will allow you to do more and provide more money and resources for Church ministry that serves other people. Yet, you should never have a mindsight of earning higher income or building wealth “by any means necessary.” Such thinking is a love of money trap satan desires to snare you in that when engaged leads to destruction and spiritual death.

Endeavoring to live in a way where you can answer yes to the above questions will help you live, give, and pursue money-making endeavors that please the LORD, produce greater harvests (including income), and allow you to build wealth throughout your life. In essence, the love He shed abroad in your heart dictates that you should follow His plan for good stewardship because it is what’s best for you and for everyone else.

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

MoneyWalk 309: Enrichment In Good And Bad Times

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Scripture shows the Church has great advancement even in times of persecution, ridicule, and mass immoral behavior and activities by unbelievers. You also will have great advancement as you apply biblical lifestyle and financial principles to govern your attitude and behavior. It does not matter that some people will ridicule you, speak against the LORD’s standards, and try to embarrass you into following along with the unbelieving herd with regard to the management of your life and the money He entrusts to you. As you pursue His plan for your life He will provide for you abundantly according to His riches in glory so that you always have enough for every good work that He called you to do and partner with.

You will experience unkind remarks from some people as you walk where God wants you to. It is possible in some Middle Eastern, African, and Asian nations that you might suffer imprisonment, torture, or death as a result of following Jesus Christ and His way of living. In the United States of America, persecution is aimed at you mostly by individuals through ridicule and slander based on your Christian beliefs because they do not like the biblically based truth you stand for. Here, it is rare to find people physically persecuted by the government, however it seems we are drawing closer to that day as people become more rebellious to biblical standards and thus more immoral and imbued with a spirit that desires to prosecute people as intolerant, discriminatory, and bigoted when they hold fast to and communicate the LORD’s standards for morality that are and have for thousands of years been laid out in the bible.

Satan and people living according to the world system, which he greatly influences, want you to believe that your well-being and your family's provision and legacy is tied to the love of money in hope that you will with a greedy heart seek more and more money until the desire to have more of it and material things and societal power, position, and prestige it can purchase far surpass your desire for intimacy with God. Don’t fall for this trap. Have victory over persecution by learning to trust God. He’ll teach you biblical financial principles that will help you initiate good stewardship in your life that builds the earthly and eternal wealth that God purposed for you from the foundation of the world. Follow His instruction whether times be good or bad because this lifestyle pleases the LORD and contains within it the power to provide all you need to care for yourself, your family, the Church, and all others that God would have you serve.

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

MoneyWalk 308: Fruit That Should Remain

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

You'll manage money properly when you spend and save to adequately care for your family, your church, and unbelievers by funding gospel ministry and caring for the poor. You’ll be most effective when you display the fruit of the spirit toward believers and unbelievers alike no matter the situation. Never follow a money management method taught and pursued by the world when the foundation of the method comes from greed, covetousness, selfishness, arrogance, or other ungodly characteristics.

Satanic messengers attack you with the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life to throw you off course so you can’t finish the race God set before you. 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. You're also fulfilling lusts of the eye & flesh because you're putting receipt of material things and short-lived pleasures ahead of relationship with Christ.

Walking in the Spirit is very important in managing your money properly because when you walk in the Spirit you'll not act in ungodly ways. Producing good fruit requires that you seek Jesus Christ trusting that He will provide you with all things necessary for life and godliness as you walk out this life.

MoneyWalk 307: First and Foremost Listen to the LORD

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

In this world, you’ll hear many different voices teach and preach how to be successful. Some will be unbelievers and others will be Christians along the spectrum from immature to mature. What is said will be directed at your finances, career, lifestyle, child-rearing, and many other areas of your life. Some will give you mostly opinions and some will share biblical principles and steps that line up with them. You’ll hear many of them say similar things but sometimes using different words and titles to describe the process they would have you engage. Inevitably, some will identify different principles and steps.

You will be confused by the differences regardless of the similarities unless you know how to judge what is being said to determine which parts belong in your life as you walk with the LORD. When the whole or part of a teaching isn’t confirmed by what you have already studied in the bible and have heard the Holy Spirit speak to you in conformity with it, then you must study to determine whether or not the guidance has a scriptural basis. Then, you must pray about the guidance and meditate on it to allow the Lord to speak His truth into your heart. Finally, you must be a doer of what you understand to be in accordance with God’s will if you want to receive the reward thereof.

In order for your life and pursuits to be pleasing to the LORD and make you truly successful, you must choose not to utilize any teaching or guidance directed at your personal or business finances, or any other arena of life, that cannot confirmed by the whole counsel of God thru bible reading and study. In this way, you will withstand and overcome all the fiery darts of the enemy and his trickery that attempt to satisfy your flesh and his evil plan for mankind.

MoneyWalk 306: The LORD’s View Of Prosperity

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Many people pursue a level of possession of material things they believe will show other people they have made it. Some want this level of riches in order to be accepted by and rub elbows with those they believe have already made it. Some also want it in order to be remembered after death, to leave their name as a legacy. Naturally speaking, this puts their focus on achieving rock star, professional athlete, and Fortune 500 CEO salaries and fame.

While there is not anything wrong with these desires in general and such situations can come to pass for you, many people find themselves unhappy down the road when their life pursuits were based solely on making money, obtaining power among men, and purchasing material pleasures. Your desire for these things should be based upon the firm foundation of the desire: to be intimate with the LORD; to make His will the priority and bring Him glory in all your business pursuits; to use your business and other endeavors you engage to lead the lost to Him; to disciple other people so they will follow your example of living and communicating in a way that pleases Him; and to serve other people by meeting needs and desires in a way that is not immoral.

Believers that have not attained rock star status should never believe they haven’t accomplished much at all, as long as they have been intimate with the LORD and immersed in evangelical and discipleship activities among family, friends, and neighbors that fit His purpose and desired destiny for their lives. They should be aware that in the midst of this relationship they should use the following biblical principles to build wealth as they pass through this life that will help them fulfill their part of the Great Commission: (1) Understanding that the LORD is supreme creator, all mighty, and owner of everything; (2) Understanding that each person is only a steward of the portion of the LORD’s possessions He assigns to him/her throughout life; (3)Praise, Worship, and Prayer; (4) Daily reading of the bible; (5) Weekly fellowship with other believers; (6) Contentment; (7) Sacrifice; (8) Self-control; (9) Tithing & Offering; (10) Consistent and continuous planning & budgeting using biblically-based vision casting; (11) Pursuit of debt elimination and freedom; (12) Refusal to cosign loans for others; (13) Saving & Investing, and (14) Diversifying assets as you accumulate more wealth.

The LORD’s plan is that every person be a Christian and be prosperous. In His eyes, you’ve achieved this state of being when you’re following the purpose and plan He has for your life while helping the church fulfill its mission of evangelizing and making disciples of other people. Then you are assured of reaching the destiny He has for you on Earth and in Heaven. To do this you must put on the mind of Christ. The process begins when you accept Him as Savior & Lord. Secondly, you must do what He directs you to do, from regularly attending church to tithing and budgeting to live within your income. Then, you must have faith to know that He will reward you for following His principles and having the patience to wait until His promises come to pass.

MoneyWalk 305: Manage Your Money by God’s Wisdom

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Don't let the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life determine how you pursue and handle money because you will be led to destruction by the enemy when you have a mindset and actions that are constantly focused on obtaining material things instead of focusing on God’s will for your life and His call upon your life. Let biblical principles lead you to seek God first then follow His directions. You’ll build treasures in Heaven and reap rewards on Earth while fulfilling your purpose for being.

Your faith should result in greater maturity throughout your life showing that the foundation of your life and desires are increasingly different than people who have no allegiance to Jesus Christ. You’ll recognize that you’re a king and priest seated with Him in heavenly places high above any evil powers when you confess that He’s your Savior and LORD believing that His blood atoned for your sin while giving you eternal life and victory through His resurrection. Then, every treasure in Heaven is available for you fulfill the call for your life and help the church fulfill its mission.

As you help serve others in ministry and realize and activate in your life money management skills in line with biblical principles, blessings will flow down from Heaven to help fulfill your specific calling and take care of your earthly responsibilities. Biblical money management principles like tithing and debt-free living appear illogical and embarrassing in our culture and its current economic scene. Yet, His principles are the only ones that truly work to get you where you need to be: up and out of poverty and into prosperity.

MoneyWalk 304: The Right Priority

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

It is necessary that you allow the Holy Spirit to produce and grow His fruit in your life. Governing yourself by God's standards resolves every problem you encounter and provides everything you need for godliness and abundance on earth. Yet, satan and his minions tempt you with ideas and activities that attempt to take the focus off being intimate with God because they do not want Him honored by your life and do not want you to be blessed. They pressure you to put the focus on the enormous blessings that God can give (what is in His hand instead of what is in His heart).

For example, many people’s prayers consist only of requests that God give them more and more material items and some people are happy only when they perceive they’ve reached a level of material abundance they can brag about. Beware that satan will constantly bombard you with ungodly ideas through media articles, educational institutions, preaching, and everyday communication because he knows many people are attracted to the love of money even though it is the root of all evil.

Don’t let him influence and destroy your life in this manner, rather keep your focus on the LORD and all you can do to magnify Him on earth and maintain a healthy perspective on money, how it should be obtained, and using it for the purposes He intended. The pursuit of anything including money should always be subordinate to the will of God for your life and should be used for the threefold purpose of spreading the gospel, properly caring for your family, and serving other people in ways the bible shows important. Then, you can be sure the material abundance destined for your present and future will result in great fruitfulness.

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

MoneyWalk 303: The Right Financial Path

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Like everyone else you will experience trials and tribulations in your life, yet when you utilize the right financial principles you will be able to count these experiences all joy because they will spur you to do what is necessary to produce a perfect work that helps fulfill your purpose on Earth and build treasure in Heaven.

Managing money the world's way appeals to the flesh by tempting you to pursue loans and revolving charge accounts as the way to get material things that depreciate in value with each new day such as cars, campers, boats, jewelry, etc. This destructive method ultimately takes your joy away by making you a slave to creditors who continually advertise that you deserve the best just so they can have you pay them more and more of your monthly income for merchandise you don’t truly need and really cannot afford at the current time. This hurts, especially at a time when you can least afford to purchase unnecessary items because you need to eliminate debt and build wealth for the future.

The worldly path that seems wise to people who have no concern for the LORD’s purpose and plan for you and believers ultimately leads to headaches on Earth. Satan works overtime to convince you to use this path in order to bring about unfruitfulness and spiritual death in your life. Alternately, biblical financial instructions bless you with lasting peace and joy throughout your life. Seeking the LORD first in fellowship and service while waiting on His abundant provision ensures that you will receive everything you need and so much more to help you care for your family and fulfill your godly purpose. This is the only path leading to true prosperity.

MoneyWalk 302: Blessing and Reward Only On The LORD’s Side

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Searching the bible is the only way to know which lifestyle and financial directions are from the LORD. An intimate relationship with Jesus Christ through bible study, praise, worship, prayer, and fellowship with the Church is the only thing that will let you know which actions are pleasing to Him. As you learn His standards and principle, follow them and rest in the promise that every important thing you need to know will be progressively provided to help you fulfill God’s purpose for your life.

In the midst of your obedience, demonic beings will try to move you off the godly path by tempting you with rewards that satisfy your ambitious and prideful inclinations and a fleshly appetite. They will offer you guidance, through your thought life and by way of people who have been deceived, that tries to convince you that man’s way is better than God’s way of living and doing things. Their messages may contain a touch of truth and be politically correct and prominent in the cultural mindset so as to make it seem like God’s standards are obsolete. Such ungodly, rebellious beliefs often lead people to believe that His standards must have changed or He could not possibly mean what is written in the bible.

These ungodly voices will try to make you feel as if you are living beneath your privilege or missing out on great experiences that others are having. They figure you will follow their guidance and pressure and engage the rebellion because most people do not want other people to have greater benefits than they receive and because they know the flesh (carnal passions) crave things in conflict with what God said is best for us, now and into eternity. Never follow any guidance or succumb to any pressure to do anything that God’s word says is displeasing to Him. Put your complete trust in the LORD and His blessing and reward system by choosing Him as Savior, developing intimacy with Him and living in a way that is pleasing to Him.

MoneyWalk 301: The Whole Counsel of God

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Your ability to plant the gospel and water it so the Holy Spirit can convict people to give their lives to Jesus Christ is dependent upon understanding the whole counsel of God and desiring to do His will. These two elements will cause you to communicate the word of faith to many others and display the godly lifestyle that is produced when Christ lives in you. In return, you’ll experience peace, joy, and prosperity in your own life.

Don't follow emotional and lust driven financial and lifestyle instruction and direction no matter who preaches or teaches them. Instead, study the bible and ask the LORD for understanding in order to know the instructions are from Him. Otherwise, you will be ensnared in the harmful results of acting on instructions that are opposite the will of God. Many hucksters and false prophets are in the world. Some preaching poverty as a virtue and some teaching wicked ways to prosper. Watch and pray so you do not fall to temptation.

Even when the person giving the instruction and direction is famous, successful, rich, powerful, or respected on earth, you should still study the scriptures to see if they are aimed at pleasing the LORD. If so, employ the content that can help you do what God specifically called you to do. You will know the instruction and direction is good when you find no scripture in conflict with it and when you find that the whole counsel of God throughout the bible supports the instruction and direction. Only then are they sure to prosper you and other people in this life and in eternity.

MoneyWalk 300: This Is Really Important

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

To retain your God-given vision while pursuing business and ministry opportunities, you should constantly declare that you are becoming more and more Christ-like while pursuing dreams and goals that are in accordance with His will for you. Ask Him for knowledge and discipline to successfully employ your gifts, skills, and calling to produce money and resources that enable you to serve many people while becoming a more faithful giver to gospel ministry locally and abroad.

Pray that God will rain down enormous revenues for people who help you prosper and for those who support gospel preaching, holy living, and fruitful works within their spheres of influence. Follow His direction for being a godly example to other people, one who is not ashamed to use any and every platform available to lift up the name of Jesus. As you hear and read stories about people leaving employers, starting businesses, and making million dollar incomes, remember that His purpose for allowing you to prosper is more important than the expensive homes, fancy cars, and earthly toys other people believe will bring them satisfaction. It is more important than notoriety, fame, and power.

The most important purpose is loving God and loving people according to His standards so much that intimacy with Him is of utmost importance to you as is serving people the gospel and making disciples of them. This should become the priority pursuit of your faith, so you are able to complete the work He gave you to do. As you prosper, more expensive trappings are possible without the hindrance of debt, without destroying your marriage, without forsaking weekly fellowship with the Church, and without engaging in the world’s ungodly practices to get them. If not obtained or pursued in a wholesome, Christ-like manner any trappings (expensive or not), will not please the LORD, the pursuit of them will get you off track with regard to the destiny at which He desires you be aimed, and they are meaningless with no value in the scheme of eternity.

MoneyWalk 299: The LORD’s Desire Guides Me

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Good stewardship is maintained by considering the current state of your income and assets to determine what is reasonable to spend on material things that you or family members desire. It is also maintained by determining how spending on desires will affect your future plans and by taking at least one day to meditate on how such spending will affect your future plans and the endeavors that the LORD wants you to put money toward. It is of utmost importance that you learn to forego impulse purchases, for he that is hasty to be rich (or look rich) shall not go unpunished.

Questions you should ask to help the meditation phase of your decision making process are:

• Will the purchase or time using the purchased item lead me to reduce my personal time with my LORD, my spouse, my children, and/or my Church family?

• Will it cause me to reduce my tithes & offerings or go into debt in order to obtain or maintain it?

• Will maintaining the purchase reduce the amount I currently put toward monthly savings and investments?

• If it is a possible home purchase, will the monthly mortgage payment possibly lead to my monthly expenses exceeding my monthly income, now or in the future?

“NO” answers to the above questions will bring financial and spiritual peace to your life. Ask someone, who is leading a debt-free life or seriously pursuing this lifestyle, to help you measure your current and future monthly budgets with consideration of the proposed purchase in order to ensure you do not or will not go into negative (deficit) territory with regard to disposable income and assets.

If you do not exercise self-control over the carnal nature, advertisements, sales calls, and the Joneses will stir you up to buy many things you don’t need and some that do not fit within your current financial situation. A person that does not use self-control in the financial arena or any other arena of life is like a city without protection. The barrage of attacks by the enemy will soon conquer that city (you) due to lack of good stewardship.

Constantly purchasing unnecessary desires and replacing major items (homes, cars, etc.) when you do not have the income and assets to do so will eat money up faster than anything else and will lead you to continually stay in debt to lenders and retailers. It is not God’s desire that you be or remain in bondage to lenders or other people.

Do not accept into your life the changing desires of society, which cries for more earthly pleasures and obtains them in a disobedient, irresponsible, and undisciplined way, without measuring whether such pleasures and what it takes to obtain and maintain them are Christ-like, in compliance with biblical instruction, and thus healthy for you, your family, and God’s desire for you to support the Great Commission and be an example of good stewardship to everyone around you.

MoneyWalk 298: Always Lift Up Other People

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

God declares grave consequences for anyone who causes one of His saints to stumble from the truth of the gospel and the specific mission for which He made them. As you mature in relationship with Jesus Christ through intimate prayer and listening times, you will learn how to lift up others in this most holy faith and how to eliminate communications and actions that are stumbling blocks to other people.

When you manage money and obtain wealth using worldly principles, you are leading others who watch you secretly and/or openly onto the broad path that leads to spiritual destruction. In order to lead yourself and others into the fullness of relationship and fellowship with Jesus Christ that he desires for us, you must learn biblical money management principles and methods that line up with them, consistently use them, and speak positively about your financial future and all those who are doers of the Word and not hearers only.

Allow the Holy Spirit to constantly evaluate by the Word whether you are being a good steward of the possessions God entrusted to you and a good example to other people. Always follow His instructions. Otherwise, you are and will continue to be tricked by the enemy into a following a materialistic, greedy, arrogant, and irresponsible pathway for managing your life and money that will never glorify God and lift up other people.

MoneyWalk 297: Share The Reason For Your Hope

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Every person is continually tempted, everyone must go through trials, and all will experience loss in this life. Believers will face ridicule, persecution, and some will be killed for their godly witness on earth, but guaranteed victory over obstacles, true prosperity, and a heavenly home await you when biblical principles are patiently applied throughout your life. First, and foremost that you confess in your heart Jesus as LORD & Savior and next that you earnestly desire to follow His instructions for all arenas of life no matter the physical, mental, or emotional cost.

Satan wants to put a kink in your armor to make you feel like you cannot live a victorious life in Christ and be blessed while pursuing His will. So, he’ll plant the thought that you’re only as successful as your title and income. Then, he’ll push you to achieve using principles and methods that are immoral or that leave God out of your day-to-day activities. Further, he’ll use various means to instill the belief that there are no biblical financial and business principles to follow or he’ll say God’s principles are obsolete and do not work in this present world. Finally, he’ll plant minions all around to celebrate the material things they see you purchase as the verifier of your spiritual position in God.

Each of these tactics of the enemy of your soul exert great pressure on you to keep doing things the world’s way in order to obtain coveted titles and income levels. You must keep a sharp focus on God’s will for the church and His plan for your life because the LORD’s agenda for you life combats what satan is plotting and pursuing it guarantees your success in Christ.

MoneyWalk 296: Don’t Complain, Honor God

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Only five to ten percent of all people are in good financial condition. This small group live content, self-controlled, and servant-minded with regard to others people’s true need for Jesus Christ. They are committed to living constructively debt-free and managing all money God entrusts to them in a way where they control expenses so they know they are continuously far less than their take home pay. They follow a simple budget so well that they have plenty of money left over throughout each year that can be applied to savings for emergencies and for big ticket items they know they will need or want in the future (special offerings, different house or car, vacation, wedding ceremony, etc.). Each year, they are also able to put at least 10% of their gross pay into a diversified portfolio of equity investments that have proven track records over ten or more years of paying high average annual interest and/or exponential growth. They are grateful with much thanksgiving for the intimacy they share with the LORD and the Church family. They are reputable in their dealings, known for paying back what is owed to others, and for being a blessing in the lives of those around them.

Many of the other ninety to ninety-five percent of people often complain about their position in life, the jobs they hold, and their relationships with spouses and/or other people. They’re up to their necks in debt, are often broke again shortly after getting paid, and continually buy more expensive houses, cars, boats, campers, cabins, and clothing above their income and asset level. They quickly replace these items with more expensive ones while paying lenders enormous amounts of down payment, closing costs, and finance charges over the term of the many loans they have outstanding. They act as if they cannot live without continually getting loans for everything they need and want.

Yet, many wonder why their lives and finances are in shambles. Some have been taught that the LORD wants to pour more money and expensive material things into their lives but requires no accountability, responsibility, and discipline from them. Of course, this could not be further from the truth. Many have simply not studied to show themselves approved as workmen that need not be ashamed because they rightly understand the Word of Truth and all its instructions on good stewardship of their lives including money entrusted to them.

Despite this predicament, help is on the way when they decide to have faith in God’s way of living. You can change your spiritual and financial situation from negative to positive when you leave the former way of doing things and begin to regularly worship the LORD by praying to Him, studying scripture, fellowshipping with Christians, using your gifts and skills in service to others, tithing, budgeting, eliminating debt, refusing to cosign, saving, investing, and diversifying. A whole new world awaits you, free of complaints about your current and future condition and full of testimonies to other people about your life full of God’s abundant peace, joy, blessing, and reward.

MoneyWalk 295: The LORD Speaking and Living Through You

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

You do not have the power to convict people into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Nor do you have the ability to convince them that they need to be cleansed by Him to bring forth good fruit in their lives. Only the Holy Spirit can convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment. However, you do have the ability in every situation to speak the truth in love while sharing the eternal consequences of unbelief and worldly habits.

This is called planting the seed and watering it. By doing so you become a strategic connection through which the LORD shares His awesomeness, loving kindness, and plan of blessing and reward with many other people, while leaving the convicting and convincing to Him. You’ll find many people will ultimately find relationship with Him because of the planting and watering work that you do by faith. Some will accept Him now and some later. Your love for people shown by communicating the gospel and living by example will help them inherit eternal life, put off destructive worldly habits, and prosper in God’s calling while on earth.

An important area of witness is communicating and living in proper money management. This glorifies God by helping you abundantly fund gospel ministry and care for your family while being a good example to all the other people around you. It's important they know Jesus provides a personal relationship and instructions that allow them peace over finances and every other area of life. So, don’t be afraid to share and show the entire scope of the good news at every opportunity to all kinds of people while leaving it up to God to bring forth the increase in due time in their lives and finances.

MoneyWalk 294: A Balancing Act

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Properly balance your life by giving a tithe and offering to God thru the Church from each paycheck you receive, by appropriately caring for your family, by eliminating debt and seeking to remain debt free, by saving, by regularly fellowshipping with believers, and by evangelizing and making disciples within your network of family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and acquaintances.

When your life is not balanced according to biblical instructions, it is ripe for Satan to destroy through your ungodly habits and activities. Lack of proper balance is seen in mindsets and actions like stinginess displayed by failing to give the Church and other ministries the portion of your income God instructs, by thinking money and material things provide what you need to truly make your life secure, by failing to devote time to gospel ministry while pursuing worldly positions and passions, by displaying materialism in spending every bit of each paycheck and borrowing even more to spend while failing to save reasonable amounts to help you stay out of financial bondage and make it through emergency and catastrophic situations that scripture says you will inevitably face.

These mentalities place you in uncomfortable positions when situations arise in which money is needed because you won’t have it available to alleviate the problems and you will likely have to suffer negative consequences due to your lack of discipline, planning, preparation, saving, and investment to help reach the destiny God has for you. However, righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost and a life of financial freedom await you when you seek and walk in the balance the LORD designed for you. So be encouraged to do it God’s way even though His way often seems unusual to other people and different than the way the world teaches and wishes to conform you to.

MoneyWalk 293: The Best Communication

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

It's important that your answers to people’s lifestyle, success, and prosperity questions are based on scripture, so they can have the right foundation to build upon. Understand that you do not have to be a theologian or quote scriptures or know every single answer to every question. Such questions give you and the inquirer an opportunity to study a particular subject more thoroughly and meditate on what you find. When you regularly study scripture and listen for the Holy Ghost’s direction, you’ll take fruitful actions and remain within godly boundaries.

Your study along with prayer will help you give glory to God above all else. It will provide a lifestyle that is rich in the peace and joy of God. Also, it will show you how to meet your needs and obtain money, resources, and relationships necessary for fulfilling the purpose and reaching the destiny God has for you.

As you walk out life using biblical money management principles, people will ask how you came to be so blessed, yet some will ridicule your behavior. These reactions are opportunities to tell of Jesus Christ’s power to positively change lives. Seeds will be planted for many others to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord at some point in their lives when you can clearly tell them what He did for you and display it in your lifestyle. Always remember, the best communication plants and waters gospel seed thereby allowing God to help it take root and grow into a fruitful plant to abundantly bless your life and others.

MoneyWalk 292: Teach Even Though Some Oppose You

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

You cannot make anyone believe the truth, because the LORD gave them freewill while they’re on earth that allows them to believe a lie if they want. Each person must get to a point where they finally regard the Holy Spirits conviction of sin, righteousness, and judgment more than they do satan’s deceit that keeps them living in bondage to sin while thinking that they will never be judged for it at the end of their days on earth and may on earth receive negative consequence for engaging in it.

In order to know the truth and have faith in God’s plan they must hunger and thirst for righteousness. Until they do, they'll make up reasons to dispute and ridicule the truth and your witness. This should not stop you from obeying His commands by looking for opportunities to bring others to a deeper relationship with God. Jesus told you to expect worldly people’s ridicule and persecution as you communicate the gospel and live by His principles! Some people will not believe some or all of God’s lifestyle and financial principles. So, the best avenue you can take with these people is to plant and water the gospel seed given to them when you’re able but don’t argue with them.

If given greater room, briefly explain your biblical basis for good stewardship and be ready to identify scriptural verses and stories to support what you say. Also, be able to give your testimony outlining how biblical financial principles have allowed you to become a good steward of the possessions God entrust to you and direct them to other people and/or resources who can shed more light on the subject when they want such knowledge. Finally, continue to pray fervently that the planted and watered seed will soon take root and grow to produce fruit pleasing to God.

MoneyWalk 291: Honor the LORD By Helping Others

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

You should care enough about people to want to see their needs taken care of and to help take care of people’s needs directly and/or through supporting organizations that exhibit good stewardship in faithfully ministering such needs. Foremost, you should care for the needs of those in the household of faith as a witness to unbelievers of the common and unbreakable bond we have in Christ Jesus.

Many other Christians will join you as part of the local church or in small group endeavors to provide food, clothing, shelter, etc. that others lack. Unbelievers will also take part in a good cause. Therefore, telling others about the need you know about and encouraging them to join you in satisfying it fulfills God’s plan for you all to show love and produce good works throughout your lives. Most local Churches have an established process to help take care of needs in their congregation and often have funds set aside to help meet needs of people in foreign lands as they go about spreading the gospel. Do not use your Church’s benevolence program as an excuse for not reaching out on your own to provide additional help in proportion to the manner in which the LORD blessed you.

Putting Christians first also entails looking for and using Christian owned businesses that deal honestly and promptly in carrying out the duties of their trade. This will also honor God and bless the owner and employees by providing revenue for them to care for their businesses and households. In addition, you’ll bless the Church because they'll pay tithes and give offerings from your payment in order to help spread the gospel. Further, you’ll bless yourself with the excellent product, service, and fellowship you receive from them and God will provide you with even more so that you are able to continue to be a great blessing to Him and other people.

MoneyWalk 290: Choose Blessing Today

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Anyone who dies without accepting Jesus Christ as Savior and LORD will be eternally damned. He shows mercy by drawing you to Him and giving you the free will to have relationship and intimate fellowship with Him. So anyone who is damned has chosen and aimed at this end. For as long as you are on this earth, to your very last breath, He continues to invite you into His family. Yet, He will not override the choice you have made nor accept any other religion, philosophy, or pathway to Him and Heaven because He declared Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life.

This sounds rather harsh to unbelievers and immature Christians because they have been socialized and cultured in a humanistic mindset that thinks the clay can tell the potter what to make it and what its purpose is. Yet, the LORD alone (omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, righteous, and just) gets to determine why He made you and how he made you and the choice you must make in order to be in His eternal family. Thus, only when a person chooses to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ while on earth will he experience paradise thereafter.

Do not eternally damn yourself by rejecting Jesus Christ who is the only pathway to eternal life. Instead, choose to be forever blessed by accepting Him as your Savior and LORD. Then, understand that His holy scriptures imparted to mankind require certain actions from you while on earth in order for valuable earthly rewards to come into your life to benefit you. With His life in you all the power needed is available to help you manage your life including finances in a way that pleases Him. You will progressively learn the actions that by faith are pleasing to Him as you daily read the bible and pray, weekly fellowship with the Church, and ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom in order that you lack nothing. You’ll now and forever be glad you did!

MoneyWalk 289: A Biblical Financial Plan

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

In order for you to be of the utmost financial service in this world, build meaningful treasures, and please the LORD’s heart the bible instructs you to faithfully tithe and give abundant offerings for ministry works, live within your means, stay out of bondage to debt, refuse to cosign for others, help the poor and oppressed obtain basic needs, organize your affairs by saving and investing in order to meet future needs and responsibly resolve emergency situations, place this money in seven or more investment vehicles, and leave an inheritance for godly seed.

Don't pay to get advice from worldly people that does not line up with the principles for prosperity God identified long ago. In order to know the difference you must study the bible and ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom to see and understand scriptures that identify traits of good stewards. On your journey through this life He will show you teachers who will help you see the way more clearly. They will provide written articles, audio and video tapes, live workshops, and counseling sessions to help educate you about the things important to Jesus Christ and His church concerning the financial arena.

His word declares He will liberally give you the wisdom needed if you simply ask Him for it and are willing to be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only. Budgeting tools will become available as well as opportunities to save and invest a reasonable portion of your income in a diversified manner. You will find that having a biblically based financial plan will enhance tithing and allow you to give abundant offerings and enhance your financial position by eliminating debt. As the chains of financial bondage are broken you will have a new found freedom and ability to consistently give in a way you have never given before and live in a God-pleasing way you have never lived before.

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