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.

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