Helping people manage money
Rabble-rousers encourage people
to transgress biblical commands & standards, but an understanding &
wise leader takes actions & establishes policies that restore righteousness
& justice.
Better is a poor person who
walks in integrity than one who is rich yet immoral in his / her activities;
best, with a heavenly inheritance, is the one who knows the LORD Jesus Christ
and walks in His will & way.
Whoever shows self-control
pleasing to the LORD is a faithful son or daughter, but a companion of fools lives
shamefully and suffers for it.
When you gather assets by oppression, injustice, or usury, the LORD will ultimately re-route them to people who care about the poor & downtrodden.
This
program will help you undo financial bondage.
Scripture tells us Christians should
be led by the Holy Spirit who lives in them because He leads us to Jesus
Christ, His will, and way of being and doing good works in every area of life.
Only then does your life have balance required to properly use your gifts,
skills, and abilities in accordance with scriptural principles so you
accomplish your calling and are fruitful and successful in ways that glorify
and please Him.
His balance for your life will look
unbalanced to some people (who are looking from the outside in) and they
may express negative comments concerning your choices, style, and means of communicating
and taking action. They may think you should teeter instead of totter or
vice-versa. Never let believers or unbelievers deter you from doing what the
LORD specifically tells you to do. Simply ensure it conforms to biblical
principles that way you can rest assured He’s involved. When you are not
balanced according to His calling and instruction, your life is ripe for
destruction initiated by engaging satan’s plan and brought about by ungodly
morals and actions they produce.
People who get off the LORD's narrow
path usually fall into one of two financial extremes:
· Stinginess,
displayed by failing to faithfully support gospel work in the earth through
their local church and evangelistic and disciple making ministries. Some fear
spending on things that may be pleasurable in this life even when they have
more than enough assets to do so without falling on hard times.
· Materialism,
displayed by acting on the belief that he who has the most toys wins the game.
Never love the things of this world. Continuous unreasonable purchases do not
allow one to adequately prepare for rainy seasons, or give liberally to help
the gospel go forward, or truly provide for family, or display good stewardship
as an example for children and other onlookers to follow.
Many people wrongly think money
provides the protection, security, peace, and joy they need. Some believe they
will miss important milestones in life if they don't spend all their income and
credit getting material things to appease their flesh and impress others. These
mindsets are unproductive for your future and allow problems to overtake you at
some point in your life. They fail to display the complete trust you need to
have in God’s grace to help you be and do everything you are called to do.
Only God in Christ can provide truly
valuable eternal and earthly blessings and rewards. Failing to use godly
stewardship to manage money will put you in an uncomfortable position because
catastrophic and emergency situations will arise throughout your life that will
require money and resources to alleviate. You will need to regularly sow so you
can reap harvests and build a personal treasury, give so you can receive, and
plant and water so He can abundantly increase you.
Do not succumb to the two extremes
that result from falling off God’s path because they harm you. Instead, allow
Him to instill in your life the proper balance so you are neither stingy or
materialistic. On the narrow road between, you will do things to proceed and
succeed and give Him glory throughout your life, such as faithfully tithing,
offering, budgeting, establishing an emergency fund, eliminating debt, refusing
to cosign, investing, and diversifying assets.

The book at the link below provides principles and practical
steps that help you use the Power To Get Wealth. I was broke, busted, and
disgusted in 1992 with $135,000 of debt and a negative $35,000 net worth. I’ve
written and lectured on managing finances since 1993 when I began to learn
appropriate ways to better our family financial situation. I have been
debt-free since 1998 and became a multi-millionaire within 25 years while
giving abundantly to fund the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ. The same power
is available to help you!
Love the LORD with everything
in you & love your neighbor like yourself, for your outward religious demonstrations
& requests produce no results when you refuse to obey to His commands.
Only a fool says in his or her heart there is no LORD & believes he or she is the source of his / her success; those wise in their own eyes suffer for it, and eternally when unrepentant.
When a just person with wisdom & integrity leads a nation its citizens will be blessed & rejoice, but if the wicked gain control those within its borders will suffer.
A person who does not confess & turn from iniquity will face grave consequences, but one who repents will receive mercy from the LORD.
Those devoted to the LORD and diligent in serving others will be joyful, but the rebellious are hardened, self-serving, and will have no peace.
An egotistical leader lacks empathy & understanding & oppresses subordinates; a leader who cares for his/her staff & hates greed & bribes brings joy to their faces, productivity, & profitability to the enterprise.
This
program will help you undo financial bondage.
As you walk on the road of good
stewardship by using biblical financial principles, some people ask how you
came to have so much contentment, peace, joy, and blessing in your life. These
are perfect opportunities to be a witness of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the
way it changes lives. So, always be prepared to share Him in overt and covert
ways.
Your testimony of the salvation,
eternal life, and service to others and how He continues to work His will and
way in you will be a great blessing to others and will lead many to accept Him
as Savior and LORD at some point in their lives.
Your communication should be based on
sound biblical doctrine that faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to gain heavenly
eternal life. People will connect as they search for answers and resolutions to
issues that confront their hearts and minds. In Him, they will have a firm
foundation to build their lives and finances upon.
You do not need to be a theologian. Simply
explain that having a relationship with Jesus is the most important thing in your
life because He saved you and gave you eternal life along with peace and joy no
matter the situations you face while on earth. Share that you read scripture
daily to learn more about His will and way and that it leads you to faithfully attend
a local bible-believing church and to serve others via evangelism,
disciple-making, and good works. Also, share that He helps you crucify the urge
to love the things of the world by utilizing biblical financial principles such
as engaging legitimate and disciplined work habits, planning, budgeting, tithing,
offering, saving, eliminating debt, investing, and trading to increase the
value of income and resources He entrusts to you. Following this path, you do
not have to overwork yourself to obtain more or succeed and reach the pinnacle
He has prepared for you.
Jesus said He would build His church
and the gates of Hell cannot conquer it. Your part in the Great Commission is
to be a believer who is always ready to share with others the reason for your
hope, knowing in Him only will they find everlasting righteousness, peace, joy,
heavenly treasure, and meaningful good works while on earth.

One who uses God-given abilities
& increases skill finds extraordinary favor & increase, whereas the
lazy & slothful experience extreme lack & scarcity.
Those who trust in the LORD Jesus
are made blameless and saved from eternal destruction; perverse people refuse
to repent and thus lead others down ungodly, immoral paths and will suffer damnation.
Blessings & rewards abound
for faithful people who consistently work the soil of their lives & finances,
but those who hasten to be rich will experience much pain & loss.
It is terrible to be a respecter of persons & show partiality out of line with the LORD’s standards because you transgress in exchange for affiliations & back scratching that lack eternal worth & earthly good.
Hastening after riches clouds discernment & judgment making one unable to see neglect of his / her life in ways that disrupt the LORD’s plan and purpose; at the end of the road fulfillment is lacking, though he / she has numerous accolades and toys.
When you respond to others in love & truth you find favor, but the flatterer, deceiver, and those who support immorality ultimately experience contempt.
One who disrespects parents is a companion of fools who will be destroyed by the attitude of the heart and work of the hands.
One with a haughty heart stirs up strife and will suffer, whereas one who trusts the LORD builds godly relationships and will prosper.
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
· We do not
argue with anyone about money management. When given the chance, we explain
that we use biblical principles to determine how we manage resources the LORD
entrusts to us. For what does it profit a man to gain the world but lose his
soul and he who loves the world and the things of the world is at enmity with
God.
· We study the
bible and to ensure it is the foundation for our management and to support our
commentary.
· We explain
that each person can choose to obey or disobey biblical instruction and thus
reap the rewards of obedience or the consequences of disobedience. Also, biblical
principles afford people boundaries in which they can employ different methods
to extract the benefits thereof, which means everyone’s decisions do not need
to be the same as ours. They simply should seek to please the LORD in the
management of their finances. No matter what, we choose to obey His commands so
our life is on a firm foundation throughout eternity and to partner in spreading
His good news.
· We first
direct people to pray and seek the LORD and then direct them to resources that shed
light on stewardship areas they’re interested in. For instance, we lead them to
websites that provide articles written by reputable Christian financial experts
and to resources that help them understand why and how to create a giving
saving spending plan, eliminate debt, build savings and investments, buy
insurance, create estate plans, etc.
We cannot
make people believe the way we do because they have the power of choice in this
life. They must hunger and thirst for righteousness in order for God’s wisdom
and revelation to be accepted, understood, and employed. Some people will find
reasons to dispute and ridicule biblical principles and methods that work
therewith. It’s well known that many ridicule Jesus, so they'll also do it to
His followers. He gives believers strength to endure it. When sharing bible truth,
recognize you’re planting and/or watering seeds that will take root at some
point in people’s lives when they soften their hearts toward Him and desire to
be good stewards of the life, income, and resources entrusted to them.

Those who trust their own hearts are fools, but one who walks with the LORD is wise and is delivered from evil.
One who helps the poor will not lack any good thing, but calamity ultimately comes upon those who have no compassion for them.
When wicked people grow in influence, people hide or suffer, but when the upright increase, the wicked are subdued & the people are blessed & rejoice.
You will destroy your life, without remedy, when through the course of life you fail to listen to and obey the LORD’s standards.
Godly people rejoice when those in authority govern justly per biblical moral standards, but citizens mourn when the wicked rule due to chaos, degradation, injustice, decay, & destruction that sooner or later comes upon them.
Leaders after the LORD’s heart disciple others to be good & just bringing prosperity & longevity to an organization or nation, but those who have no regard for Him destroy people & the union via wicked policies, actions, & bribes.
It's honorable to speak well of others when it truly comes from your heart, but a flatterer speaks sweet words with deceitful motives to eventually abuse you.
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
When they carry the products and
services we need or enjoy, it's good to patronize businesses owned by people
faithful to Jesus Christ, who model His likeness in their conversation and
deeds. The Great Commission identifies the foremost mission we have among
people to evangelize and make disciples of them, showing them the pathway to
relationship & intimacy with Christ.
Though we’ve made mistakes, we are
maturing. Our commitment to holiness is one of the biggest tools in fulfilling
our mission. Your progressive transformation should be evident to family
members, neighbors, and co-workers because you no longer engage ungodly
activities. Also, you form words and deeds in ways that glorify the LORD.
Every day, ask Him for and act on
opportunities to share the gospel with people. Don’t worry about your goodness
being called into question. After all,
the perfection of Jesus Christ is the focus of your proclamation, for only He
can save and deliver from earthly and eternal bondage to sin and grant eternal
life to replace the sentence of eternal damnation we would otherwise deserve.
You can trust faithful Christian
business owners to understand this truth and follow scriptural instruction in every
area of life including how they operate their business and use the proceeds. They
offer products that are wholesome that in no way besmirch the name of the LORD and
they sow an abundant portion of profits into ministry and benevolent endeavors
in their communities and beyond.
Business owners who have no
allegiance to Christ often give to organizations with agendas that are
destructive from a biblical perspective because they are contrary to scriptural
standards concerning acceptable lifestyles, relationships, and activities. Or,
they kowtow to politicians and consumers with unsavory beliefs and character
because they do not want to stop the flow of cash into their coffers. They help
lead people into bondage and help maintain it in their lives.
The bible instructs us to do first
unto the household of faith. Preferring and patronizing Christian owned
businesses in a variety of industries, that are faithful in carrying out their
responsibilities, is one way of engaging this principle. When you do so, you
will help these businesses thrive and be a conduit that helps others have
access to great products and services while overtly and covertly leading many to
Jesus Christ, His love, and good works.

Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching & admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to the LORD.
The upright consider the plight of the poor & oppressed and seek to do them good, but the wicked disregard their situation & exploit them even more.
Leaders who exhibit godly standards usher blessing & reward upon those who follow, but those who rebel against the LORD in policies & deeds bring negative consequences upon the land & inhabitants thereof.
For the LORD knows the plans He has for you to give you a hope and future of good all the days of your life.
A wise person shares the truth, but does not seek to win an argument, otherwise he or she will have no victory or rest from assaults of the foolish.
The upright acknowledge their life in Jesus Christ & seek to live as His moral ambassadors on earth, yet the wicked ridicule them for it.
