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!
Psalm 1:1-6, Matthew 6:19-21, Luke 16:8, Jude 1:17-23
