MoneyWalk 386 He Is LORD Of All Things Including Money

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Scripture says the LORD created everything and owns all of it! However, He gave man dominion over all that He made with the instruction to use it to do His will so that man would be fruitful in everything he put his heart, mind, and hands into. Truly, everywhere any person that trusts Him goes is holy ground and everything at which he works, in accordance with His will, would prosper.

Whether you’re rich or poor, make Christ the first person you desire to honor when you receive income and assets of any kind. Many people have accepted the notion that if they call themselves Christians and thus accept themselves as saved / born again then Jesus is automatically LORD of their lives. Yet, they willfully withhold abundant, proportionate giving from the Church / Christ’s body but do not fail to spend on themselves, to get their material desires, approximately 100% of income and assets above what must be spent on basic needs (a minimal level of rent, food, and clothing).

If He is truly LORD of your life, then His lordship must include money you receive. Otherwise, you live like immoral ungodly people around you caring nothing about the purpose for which you were created: to worship Him with all your life and activities, to evangelize unbelievers so they may come to know Jesus Christ, and to make disciples of other people in order to encourage and motivate them to draw ever closer to Him.

Though unbelievers may do many good-natured things during their time on earth, the LORD on Judgment Day will not impressed with their riches, poverty, assets, titles, or societal status. Nor is He impressed with those things he also allows Christian to attain. His most wise status, divine will, and almighty power set the parameters for acceptable human attitudes and activities and consequences for non-compliance even though He gave us free-will. He will make sure a person receives the eternal damnation he / she chooses when he / she fails to trust Jesus Christ as Savior before death. He also allows a person to suffer the needless shame he / she bears during life on earth and sometimes into eternity when he / she refuses to align their actions with His known will per scripture. Of course, His desire and death on the cross, resurrection, and life-giving bible seek to help us avoid these consequences by drawing close to Him and the love He poured out for us to redeem us from wrath.

He hurts when you do not use an abundant portion of money entrusted to you to spread the name of Jesus Christ to other people and disciple them so they can know how to, using their free-will, have a heart changing relationship with Him that will cause them to be pleasing to Him and be fruitful to the utmost by faithfully and consistently serving according to His will in their home, Church, neighborhood, workplace, and marketplace.

Please pray for this ministry and email me with any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!

MoneyWalk 385 Employ Holy Spirit Led Goals

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

The Holy Spirit helps you overcome every obstacle that stands in the way to doing what Father God wants. In order to continually invite His presence and wisdom into your life, you must regularly engage worship by giving Him thanks & praise, reading scripture, praying daily, fellowshipping with other believers, serving in the local church and via your vocation in order to help other people and make disciples of them, and by regularly introducing other people to Jesus Christ by sharing your testimony of His saving grace.

You should also write down actions you will take to accomplish particular pursuits that will build you up in the most holy faith of our LORD and help you continually mature along His path for you, such as:

• Graduate from spiritual authority class at your local bible-believing Church that will teach you that submission, agreement, and obedience are not the same thing but are intimately connected to help you align with your Church elders to pursue and achieve the vision, goals, and objectives the LORD set for your Church. This also helps you learn how to please Him and serve honorably as you work in staff, management, and leadership roles in your vocation among citizens of this world.

• Graduate from a biblically-based leadership course to help you build on the elementary principles of Christ so you can move on from drinking the milk of the Word to eating the meat of the Word.

• Employ biblical-based financial empowerment disciplines so you are a good steward of the manifold blessings the LORD gives you and allows you to obtain throughout life. The disciplines begin with tithing and offering to the Church and also include budgeting in order to achieve debt-free living, no cosigning, emergency fund and special project saving, and investing and diversification for building wealth and maintaining it.

• Helping out in a few ministries at a time so the Holy Spirit can mold you and show you during a number of years of faithful service the main ministry and/or vocational mission field the Father purposed for you at creation.

You can write such goals to be specific, measurable, attainable with His help, realistic though a stretch beyond where you are currently, and with a future time at which you hope to achieve the them as the LORD wills. This can help you achieve His vision for your life which is the desire of your heart. It will also ensure that you use the bulk of resources received through any ministry and vocational endeavors to advance the gospel, care properly for your family and local Church, and help many other people.

The ultimate goal of your life and activities should be to glorify the LORD, educate and encourage Christians, and lead unbelievers to a relationship with Jesus Christ regardless of the field you choose to work in. You’ll need to be flexible along the way because every step will not work out the way you first penned it, yet God will continually re-focus your vision, purify and modify your steps, close doors when needed, and open other doors that help you. If you do not write down the vision and goals it is highly likely you will never fully pursue the pathway He has in mind and which is ultimately best for your life.

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

MoneyWalk 384 Let The Holy Spirit Make You Smart

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

You must learn biblical financial principles to know how to honor God with your finances. By grace through faith you are able to learn His Word and follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance in order to complete the purpose and plan He gave your life when He made you. The result of adhering to His instruction versus the world’s instruction is you will be fruitful in your short life on earth and will be reward throughout eternity by diligently putting your life into employments that please Him.

Though some unbelievers seem to prosper greatly because they are cunning in looking out for what they believe to be in their best interest on earth, you should never be envious of all the money, resources, and other temporal things they have or may one day get nor should you fret evil aimed at you and other believers because God’s unmerited favor and power to make His plan come to pass is bestowed upon those who trust and obey Him.

Never make pursuit of earthly riches your primary aim or else you will be selfish toward the LORD by failing to honor Him first with your life and an abundant portion of the substance and increase bestowed on you, which is only the result of Him allowing you to be in such a position. Rather, let Him bless and reward you as a result of pursuing intimacy with Him as your highest priority, finding out through fellowship with Him the purpose for your life, and things He wants you to do in order to employ it and reach the destiny He designed for you.

Intimacy with the Holy Spirit motivates you to follow His instruction and this in turn brings blessing and reward into your life and eternity. You cannot earn salvation for this is freely given to all who repent of sin and put their trust in Jesus Christ. However, His favor overtakes the lives of those who advance His kingdom in the marketplace of life (family, friends, neighborhood, workplace, community, nation, world, etc.) by moral, evangelistic, disciple-making communication with others and Christ-like lifestyles before them, including having the proper attitude toward and handling of money and resources entrusted to you. This is the only pathway that makes you truly smart.

Please pray for this ministry and email me with any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!

MoneyWalk 383 Relationship Saves, Not Tradition

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Peace, joy, and rewards God promised on earth apply to people who have accepted Jesus as Savior and LORD. In addition, relationship with God in Christ is the only condition that qualifies you to receive eternal life. Such is not shown or verified by earning millions, inheriting millions, having the best material things on earth, living in fine homes, or any other natural condition from poverty to riches. Living in paradise now and forevermore comes only from relationship with Jesus Christ and cannot be manifest in your heart and life by any other means.

A failure to initiate fellowship to have an intimate connection with Him will let sorrow, worry, and apathy overcome you and derail progress during trials life will inevitably bring your way. Or it will allow pride and arrogance to overtake you because you will be confused about the fact that He is one who allowed you the ability to care for yourself and reach higher levels in life. You will react in pride thinking that it is solely the work of your hands that produced the earthly abundance you are experiencing in life.

If you answer the question, “Are you saved or born again?” with a response like “I’m Catholic, Baptist, Pentecostal or I go to _____ church,” then it’s likely tradition is your priority, not relationship. Even though you might regularly attend Church services, you may be living by tradition, not in an intimate relationship with Him. Ask the Holy Spirit to check your heart to ensure you meet the biblical standard for being saved, which is repentance from dead works through faith in Christ, so you can enthusiastically say “I am saved by Christ” knowing you meet the standard no matter the local Church, denomination, or fellowship you are currently part of.

Beware that Church going traditions and religious sounding titles will not save you, give the LORD glory, or grant you eternal life in Paradise after you die on earth. Only salvation in Christ by grace through faith can grant you access to the land of spiritual and financial prosperity that lasts throughout eternity and truly allow you to glorify Him while planting & watering gospel seeds and producing good fruit.

Please pray for this ministry and email me with any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
