Helping people manage money
Thank the LORD you heard the word, received, & accepted Him; as a believer it will indeed work in you that which is pleasing in His sight & best for your life.
You
are blessed when people insult, ridicule, persecute, or make false accusations
against you for following & sharing Christ’s moral standards; great is your
reward in Heaven!
Remember the LORD, for He gives you power to get wealth to establish His covenant in the earth.
Diligently obey the LORD & pursue debt freedom; you will be the head & not the tail, blessed in the city & in the field.
Like a fire goes out when it has no more fuel, quarreling disappears when gossip stops.
Good relations are damaged when people lie about you to others and claim they were joking; don’t ruin your reputation acting like that.
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
When
promotion seeking is not aligned with the LORD’s will, purpose, and calling for
your life, discontentment will eventually come upon you. Through intimacy with
Him daily, ensure you are seeking His Kingdom and not your thingdom! Otherwise,
pursuit of promotion, and how your current position looks to other men, will
encourage you to think negatively about your position, income, resources, and
influence instead of continually thanking Him for allowing you to be in the
place you are in.
Even though
your position may be great among men you’ll develop an attitude where your
situation is never enough at any given time. This will lead to bad spiritual
and practical habits that lead you away from the LORD’s plan for your life
(workaholism, respecter of persons attitudes, lack of prayer and gratitude,
forsaking wholesome relationships, failure to incorporate evangelism and
disciple-making into your life and work). Negative comments about your
employer, supervisor, position, and work ensue as well as pride, haughtiness,
and disregard for living Christ-like.
Your present
position or line of work is one from which the LORD can build right character
to eventually move you to the types of work, positions, and promotions in His
plan for you. Thank Him for the maturity
He’s allowing you to develop as a result. He’s helping you ensure blessings in
your life do not turn into curses, like they would if you fail to manage in a
godly manner your tongue, lifestyle, ministry to others, income, and material
resources. Many people receive promotions at work yet continue to lack purpose,
fulfillment, and right relationship with the LORD and other people.
You should
seek promotion that comes through fellowship with and allegiance to Christ,
displayed by bible-based good stewardship. His elevation of your earthly status
will grant you things that matter most: eternal life, better relationships with
family, strong and enduring friendships with reliable people, a worthy career,
job, and ministry role, respect in the eyes of your peers and superiors who
have spiritual eyesight, and more than enough money and resources to fulfill
your purpose.
Using
biblical principles produces fruit and promotion in your life regardless of
whether man promotes you. When you’re humble, the LORD will raise you up in due
time and make room among influential people for the gift within you.
Please

your business or ministry conference or workshop. May the LORD bless you richly
as you follow His plan!

Blessed is the man who
fears the LORD &
greatly delights in His commandments; his descendants will be mighty,
blessed, & rewarded on Earth.
The way one who claims to be a leader lives among you determines proof of the truth of his/her message; you know a good tree by its fruit.
The Good News is brought not only with words but also with power, for the Holy Spirit gives believers full assurance of the truth.
In praise to the Father, your faithful work, loving deeds, & anticipation of Jesus Christ’s return will forever be remembered.
A real leader is a servant who has the best outcome in mind for the organization and those they lead and who work with them to achieve these aims.
Work as unto the LORD: your calling to the workplace is important ministry for which He blesses & rewards you when engaged by wisdom, discipline, & diligence.
The law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus set me free from the law of sin & death. It is for true freedom He set us free!
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
When using the
Avalanche method, you pay only the minimum due on all bills except the one with
the highest finance charge and the lowest balance. Place all extra money on
this account each pay period until it is paid off. Now, add the monthly payment
and all extra money to the minimum payment for the account next in line that
now has the highest finance charge and the lowest balance.
When using the
Snowball method, you pay only the minimum due on all bills except the one with
the smallest overall balance. Place all extra money on this account each pay
period until it is paid off. Now, add the monthly payment and all extra money
to the minimum payment for the account next in line that now has the smallest
balance.
Continue using the
approach until all debt is paid off and remember to close each account and cut
up the associated credit card once the debt is eliminated. This debt-reduction
method works best when you discipline yourself to refuse to take on debt that
you cannot immediately pay off in full. Choose not to use credit to purchase
anything you do not have cash available right now to cover, except for a house
purchase at a reasonable amount in comparison to your stable yearly income and
overall wealth.
The
Avalanche will get the best financial impact because you will pay less interest
to creditors and more quickly eliminate debt. However, the snowball method
provides the psychological boost most people need in the beginning of their
journey because the quick wins of paying off a couple of debts in a short time
period motivates them to continue to pay off loans and stay out of debt.
Intense
focus on NOT taking on additional debt along with total debt elimination and
maintaining a debt-free life is the process / good stewardship lifestyle that
make it possible for you to be what He wants: debt-free, in a financially sound
and asset rich position instead of the poverty-stricken position of a borrower.
He wants you to release yourself from slavery (bondage) to lenders and
to owe no one anything but love. This enables you to carry out His call and
purpose for you to evangelize and make disciples of other people and have
greater monetary means to help meet the needs of widows, orphans, and those
poor & oppressed.
Please
pray for this ministry, email me with any questions, and contact me to speak at
your business or ministry conference or workshop. May the LORD bless you richly
as you follow His plan!

Father God is merciful and the source of all comfort; therefore, comfort others with the same comfort He has given you in Christ.
Jesus said “My
sheep know my voice and I know them and they follow me.” Victory in Jesus, my
Savior forever!
This is
love, not that we loved the LORD, but that He loves us and sent His Son to be
the atoning sacrifice for all our sins: to protect, from the day of evil, all
who believe in Him.
Avoid temptations to indulge yourself in wicked behavior & the fashions of this world, instead clothe yourself in Christ which produces godly purpose & reward.
Rejoice in the LORD when problems and trials come your way, for through them He helps you develop patience, endurance, character, and hope, so you lack nothing needed to complete your mission on earth.
You will find the LORD when you seek and search for Him with all your heart: His goodness will flow in & on you in service to Him and others.
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Being born again requires that you accept Jesus
Christ as LORD & Savior. As a result, one inherits eternal life and
wonderful benefits of it: peace, joy and abundance as well as no more pain,
crying, affliction, or poverty and so much more. The sacrifice He made upon the
cross through His shed blood, death, then resurrection and ascension to Heaven’s
throne provides the righteousness you need to bypass Hell and eternal wrath
that sinfulness otherwise requires. It also requires that you take up your cross and follow Him by desiring and seeking
to do His will in every area of life.
Likewise, taking up your cross, following, and
obeying His commands and guidance produce abundant rewards in every area of
your life on earth through good stewardships habits, discipline, and diligence.
Money, resources, and godly connections you need will be available for you to
fulfill the purpose for which He made you, walk the path established for you,
and carry out the plan He gives you, and reach the destiny He has for you.
When you’re truly intent on loving and following
Christ, the scriptures come alive to tell you how to honor Him in general and
to give you specific methods for doing so. For example, faithfully tithing and
giving offerings to support the Church and its gospel mission opens Heaven’s
windows to reward you with immensely more that you’ll ever need. It also moves
people to give to you full measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running
over for the purposes of allowing you to be a continuous and greater blessing
to His kingdom, other people, and your family.
People who have the mind of Christ follow these
principles without idolizing money and material things or making pursuit of
them the priority aim of life. Pleasing God is their ultimate desire with a
mind toward creating a place where righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy
Spirit permeate their lives in earthly and eternal realms.
You choose your reward (good or evil) based on
who you put faith in and the principles you follow. Using biblical money
management principles gives worthwhile purpose and meaning to your life and
moves the LORD to reward and navigate you to be a blessing to others. Failing
to put your faith in Him and utilize biblical principles perpetuates earthly
problems, physical or spiritual poverty, and eternal suffering no matter the
level of money, power, fame, or prestige obtained on earth.

your business or ministry conference or workshop. May the LORD bless you richly
as you follow His plan!

Believers in Jesus Christ die to themselves and rise from death to new life that glorifies the Father.
The effective fervent prayer of those who put faith in the LORD Jesus is powerful & produces wonderful results.
Discipline your children, so peace will abound as they bring desirable delight into family life.
The LORD is not unjust: He will not forget your work & the love you show Him via your faithful pattern of serving & helping believers.
A disciple of Jesus Christ makes
Him the priority in all things, above spouse, father, mother, siblings,
friends, and everything else.
The fear of the LORD is the
beginning of wisdom: everyone that follows His precepts learn how to overcome problem
situations & enjoy a well-spent life.
LORD, all good things belong to you, for they are from You, through You, and to You!
This
program will help you undo financial bondage.
Godly
stewardship requires that you love not the world or the things in the world
because he/she who loves material things is at enmity with the LORD. You need
to engage the practice of spending far less each month than your take home pay,
which is the income you are left with after taxes and payroll deductions are
taken out of your gross income.
Most people regularly spend all their take home
pay, as noted by the anemic savings rate in the United States and
ever-increasing amount of debt on homes, car, colleges, credit cards, and
recreational vehicles. A budget helps you give abundantly, save to cover
emergencies, and build substantial wealth over time. It makes retirement from
your current profession possible (if that is your desire) by putting you in position
to engage many years of sustainable marketplace ministry using your giftings,
talents, and skills to greatly impact other people.
When you work the LORD’s financial plan you will
have peace and joy in your life and overcome financial problems. You will stop satan’s
assault on your life brought on by unreasonable spending, debt, and lack of
savings and investments. And, you will avoid future bankruptcy, foreclosure,
repossession, and effects of low credit scores (high insurance premium, high
mortgage interest, etc.).
1. 1. Identify
your monthly take home pay from all sources.
2. 2. Subtract
tithe and offering.
3. 3. Subtract
the minimum monthly payment for each bill.
4. 4. Use
the remaining cash flow to set budget amounts for groceries, household supplies,
entertainment, and personal spending.
5. 5. Discretionary
cash flow remaining should be used to establish the first tier $1,000 emergency
fund.
6. 6. Afterward,
use discretionary cash flow to pay extra (above the minimum payment) to the
creditor owed the lowest total debt.
7. 7. After
eliminating this debt, use the cash flow to pay the creditor with the next
lowest debt.
8. 8. After
all non-mortgage debt is paid off, increase your emergency fund to at least $10,000,
invest at least 10% to build wealth, and make extra principal payments toward
early mortgage elimination.
When the budget shows discretionary income is not enough to pay your bills and totally eliminate your debt within the next year or two, you need to employ reduction of unnecessary expenses as well as increase income through no-cost low-cost entrepreneurial efforts and second jobs. Repeat this written budgetary process (on paper or computer) for each of the next six months and make sure you consistently stay within budgeted amounts. Never let anything stand in the way of reaching financial freedom because this improves (a) faith in the Creator to provide all your need according to His riches in glory, (b) your ability to give, save, and spend in ways that please Him and help fulfill His purpose for you in the earth, and (c) peace and joy in your life.
Please

as you follow His plan!

LORD, let me not
be ashamed of what I hope for. Uphold me by your Word so I can truly live!
It is better to be poor & wise, heeding good advice, than to be rich & foolish – engaging ungodly beliefs & practices & refusing to heed warnings to avoid spiritual & natural dangers.
Works and human goodness cannot save anyone from eternal judgment; only by accepting Jesus Christ as LORD & Savior is one’s faith credited as righteousness & citizenship in Heaven gained.
Jesus equips believers with everything necessary to do His will, working in each what is pleasing to Him. To Him be glory forever and ever!
