MoneyWalk 391 Education Is A Good Tool But A Poor God

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

There are types of education that are good and tend to raise income and opportunities to be selected for higher level positions within organizations for which one works. However, there are also types of education for which the cost outweighs the benefit that will be received. You never want to pursue the second type or remain stagnant in life because you never pursue education that helps broaden your understanding and skills. Yet, in pursuing the first type, you could better your comfort on earth, but lose your soul because you made education (and what it could do for you) your god throughout your life instead of putting it in its rightful place of submission to the LORD and to you to serve His will in all you do.

Progressively over the past few hundred years, many people who have pursued a lot of formal education believe they have become smarter than the LORD, and even worse, some after getting it, believe He does not exist and thus have become gods and idols unto themselves. We’re seeing the effects of this in many of the deceitful, heinous, hurtful things people are saying and doing to one another today as well as the immoral lifestyles many are living in rebellion against His moral code, and in living in a national financial house that is ready to implode because we have forsaken the LORD’s instructions for good stewardship.

As we make training, certificates, and degrees our god instead of our servant, the educational industrial complex is taking up a more unbearable amount of student’s income each year to the point that when many of them graduate they have so much debt that they are barely able to afford necessities and build wealth in the way the LORD intends for their lives. Let’s be clear, education that is not directed by the LORD for your life is not the great economic equalizer and pathway to success and fulfillment that many claim it to be. It is possible many will have more trappings in life once they obtain it, but it is not at all certain they will have peace, joy, and fulfillment as a result.

No doubt, study to show yourself approved, a worker that need not be ashamed, who rightly divides the word of truth. However, at all stages of your life ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into and through education (formal and informal) that fits the LORD’s purpose and plan for you. Having your heart and mind centered on the purpose and priority of the LORD almighty has always been and always will be essential to being truly successful and fulfilled and ensures you will reach the earthly and eternal destiny for which He truly designed you.

MoneyWalk 390 The Only Way To Be Truly Successful

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Salvation is the greatest biblical reward and it results in true and eternal net-worth. Such success can be described as salvation equals faith in Jesus Christ as Savior & LORD with His perfect righteousness covering you so you are not condemned to everlasting doom based on your old sinful nature when you stand before Father God. You also have the extraordinary benefit of the Holy Spirit living within you to direct your path in every way pleasing to the Father and the Son. Isn’t it great to know the triune God and LORD of all things envelops you and deeply cares about your success eternally and in this earthly realm.

Believing in Jesus Christ is the only way to a heavenly home and great worth that God desires for you. All other endeavors, resources, and assets pale in comparison because you gain nothing by possessing riches, power, and prestige or by occupying a lowly place on this earth if you lose your soul because you failed to have faith in Jesus Christ the eternal source of all righteousness and holiness.

To truly prosper on earth as in Heaven you must crucify the old sinful nature, otherwise Satan will tempt you to use it to destroy your earthly and eternal worth through a continual lifestyle of sin while convincing you that what you’re doing is alright because (a) the LORD wants you to have the freedom to enjoy yourself doing whatever you think is right without regard to what the bible has to say about it and/or (b) you believe you could not have built wealth, affluence, influence, or power on earth without being acceptable to God.

Whether poor, middle income, or rich, satan will try to convince you that you do not need the LORD and definitely should not follow His instruction. However, the bible shows us that on earth God in some ways blesses the just and unjust alike, however it also emphatically shows you cannot take earthly wealth with you when you leave this earth and only what you do for Christ will last. Therefore, no one and nothing but Jesus Christ by faith in Him will justify you and lead to eternal life, joy, and peace when you stand before God in the final judgment. For as long as you live on earth, and no matter what grievous sins you’ve committed, you can be redeemed to experience eternal and earthly success by following God’s formula instead of your own.

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

MoneyWalk 389 In Christ, You Have It All

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Jesus said abundant life cannot be measured by what you own and that it profits you nothing to gain the world but lose your soul. Therefore, your first priority should be to assure salvation unto eternal life by faithfully confessing that Jesus Christ is your Savior and LORD. Secondly, you should seek to become a good steward because you now recognize that God owns everything (including every piece of income and asset you have or will ever get) and has entrusted a portion of His endless estate to you.

Only then will you recognize and highly regard the bible and its instructions that help you, in a righteous manner, earn, utilize, and multiply money. Your vision will change so you no longer consider people with lots of money to be rich and those with little money to be poor. Nor will you think those who are poor are righteous while those who are rich are automatically unrighteous because they must have done something underhanded to get that much.

You’ll no longer think a person is acceptable to God only when he becomes a high wage earner or someone of worldly importance with enormous material income and/or assets. Nor will you think a person currently living on welfare is a have-not who cannot be acceptable to God because he has not amassed worldly riches and at times may appear to barely get by. You will cease to ridicule people because they are not keeping up with the Joneses in appearance and style. In fact, you’ll start to respect and treat them as well as you treat people who have lots of money because you are now seeing with godly eyesight. Rich and poor alike will be seen as made in God’s image and thus worthy of acceptance and fellowship as well as evangelism and discipleship as necessary.

Your re-birth in Christ will help you see your own potential and the potential in everyone else and lead you to encourage rich and poor alike to become good stewards of their lives, current income, and assets in order to multiply them so each of you can provide for your household in a god-pleasing manner and increasingly and abundantly fund gospel ministry through the Church as well as your own special calling when God identifies it. This faith-filled state of mind and action is the only lifestyle that truly provides everything each one needs as well as many good things desired and will be the only life plan that truly fulfills you.

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

MoneyWalk 388 The LORD’s Order Blesses You

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

The book of Revelation shows that satan will be thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone with every angel who chooses to follow him into evil by leaving Heaven and with every man who, while upon the Earth, refused to accept redemption by Jesus Christ. If you do not accept Christ’s offer of salvation, satan will succeed in keeping you from the blessing of eternal life and from the earthly blessing and rewards given to believers who love and follow Christ’s commands.

These commands imparted to believers by the Holy Spirit who lives in them tell us how to walk our lives out in the way pleasing to the LORD. A part of this encompasses money management (including work, earning, giving, and expensing) as this is a key area in which satan attempts to control people’s lives by corrupting the way in which their hearts (priorities set by ungodly desires), minds (attitudes establish by pride), and bodies (physical activities engaging lusts) lead them to pursue and expend the manifold monetary resources the LORD entrusts to them throughout their lives.

Understand that satan wants to steal your affection from God by tempting you to doubt salvation in Christ. Secondly, he wants to eliminate your usefulness to God by tempting you to spend so much time fulfilling material desires that you have no time or inclination to spend with the LORD, fellowship with the Church (His body), or spread the gospel. Just as God has shown mankind principles for experiencing abundant and eternally significant lives, satan imparts principles that subtly and insidiously destroy our lives. He knows that the LORD loves us and hurts when we choose to follow satanic pathways instead of choosing to live in His love, abundance, and eternal life.

You are in a spiritual battle whether you want to realize it or not and satan is automatically winning when you do not realize it. Those who realize it understand they were created to by grace through faith thank, praise, and worship the LORD and obey the commands of the Holy Spirit according to the perfect law of liberty, which is to love the LORD with all their hearts, souls, minds, and strength and to love their neighbors as themselves so much that they intimately desire to fulfill the purpose for which He created them by living according to the fruit of the spirit and evangelizing unbelievers and making disciples of believers. When such love is in your heart, your life of faith will produce good works that glorify the LORD, bring good will to other people, and cause you to experience inner peace and joy no matter what the atmosphere and people around you are experiencing.

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

MoneyWalk 387 Your Giving Is Profitable

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Even during emergencies and catastrophes, when others are scrimping due to over-indebtedness, believers should be abundantly funding ministry work, eliminating debts, fulfilling their purpose, reaching their destiny, and showing others how to attain and enjoy what the LORD so richly prepared for us.

The widow of Zarephath and her son were going to die of starvation after eating the very last meal they had. But, she met Elijah the Prophet who gave her instruction. Due to her obedience in doing what she could not see in the natural as positive help, the LORD miraculously turned her little bit of flour and oil into enough resources to carry them through a lengthy famine.

Likewise, Elisha’s student, who abruptly died, put his sons in the position to be indentured slaves and his widow to be destitute, until they could pay off their deceased father & husband’s creditors. Again, obedience in following the prophet's instruction (by faith not sight) turned the widow’s little bit of oil into enough money and resources to free her sons and have plenty of food and necessities thereafter. She miraculously kept filling pots with oil until there were no more and then sold all the oil for a handsome sum of money with which she paid off her family’s debt and eliminated the financial bondage they had endured.

In the same way, God created you with the ability to obey Him, give abundantly to fund the gospel, and serve other people toward their best interest. When you display such an obedient and giving heart, He makes sure you have more than enough to make life fruitful and fulfilling during up and down economic cycles. Giving of your time, money, and resources may seem inconsequential at the time you’re doing it, especially when you're currently experiencing obstacles and problems. However, it will be life preserving and lead to opportunities for increased income, fruitfulness, and a profitable life as you move forward into your future on earth and eternity.

With all your heart, mind, and strength you must forge ahead based on biblical instruction and the LORD will provide more than enough to care for all your need and many things you desire and will also help you be a blessing to other people.

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