A necessary part of good money management is fellowship with God’s people. That’s why God sets the solitary into families and requires that we fellowship more and more as we see the day of Christ’s return approaching. Christians will encourage you to love others and do good works and help you overcome obstacles that keep blessings and rewards away from you.
Those in your local fellowship who truly have a mind to live according to the mind of Christ would never lead you to forsake a lifestyle of thanksgiving, praise, worship, and prayer or lead you to steal, commit adultery, abuse your children, or forsake evangelizing & disciple making in every venue the LORD allows you to be in (home, neighborhood, employment, social clubs, etc.).
Your failure to engage godly activities will draw you away from Christ and cost you respect, trust, relationships, and money that should be used to properly care for your family and build the kingdom of God in men’s hearts via Church related ministry. Because believers love you with the love of God, they want to help you sidestep activities that suck you dry of a good spiritual, emotional, physical, and monetary state such as unnecessary / unwarranted divorce, illegal and criminal activities, womanizing, alcoholism, drug addiction, etc.
God has a plan He wants you to engage that includes salvation, sanctification, eternal life, and earthly blessing and reward including in the financial realm, so you can indeed move forward to use the gifts, skills, and abilities He placed in you and fulfill the calling He engrained in you for the marketplaces in which you work, live, and play. This cannot and will not be achieved without the help of other people, simply because that is how He ordered life and relationships for each of us.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
