Prudent people foresee evil and avoid it, but foolish and wicked people move toward it and experience grave consequences.

MoneyWalk 103 The Joy Of Good Stewardship
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
There are two ways to manage money:
1.
You
can follow the world's way of managing money which appeals to the lust of the
flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life by presenting you with a
seemingly quick way, outside of the will of God, for obtaining high income,
many assets, and opulent material things (homes, cars, boats, jewelry, etc.).
2.
You
can utilize God's instructions for managing money which puts seeking Him first
in fellowship and service as the number one priority in your life with an
understanding that He will grow you and show you when and how to gain income
and material blessings in a way that allows your joy to be full at all times
and your purpose to be fulfilled.
The world's way of managing money
leaves you unfulfilled because it is destructive and does not lead to joy and
peace. It makes you a slave to workaholism, material things, retailers, sales
people, bankers, and creditors. Also, it often leads you to lose inordinate
amounts of money on get rich quick schemes and can lead to prison when you get
caught up in money making schemes that are ungodly and illegal.
Retailers and lenders continually
advertise that you deserve the best and should spend and borrow as much as
necessary to get it. However, the Lord Jesus wants you to recognize that if you
make Him the desire of your heart then He will provide the desire of your
heart.
You should recognize that people who have
been sent to prison for financial crimes would not have been convicted had they
operated their lives based on godly principles instead of worldly desires. People
often idolize people they believe are millionaires and seek to be like them in positions,
power, fame, notoriety, wealth, and material trappings. Many have bound themselves
up in lifestyle and financial struggles trying to live like them on a smaller
scale hoping that scale would get bigger. Ultimately, they are devastated when
they find they do not get the same results or that getting lots of money does
not sooth the savage beast within.
It is certainly good to have vision and goals that encourage you to use good stewardship methods and processes for personal and business finances and there are some wealthy people who can show you how to become wealthy within moral and legal boundaries and in ways that please the LORD according to your giftings, abilities, and skills. Be ever mindful that the only way to obtain lasting joy, peace, fulfillment, prosperity, and meaningful treasure throughout your life is to seek Jesus Christ first and let the things of this world be strangely dim to the point where you pursue His will and refuse to do things that would cause you to become a poor steward.
Many Christians now understand it is God’s stated desire in scripture that they (a) use a giving / saving / spending plan or budget, (b) have surplus funds available for emergencies, (c) live debt-free, (d) invest in businesses and other things that grow exponentially in value, e) diversify assets over time to provide an element of safety in down economic cycles. Rewards for good stewardship are obtained by living out biblical principles, financial and otherwise. They truly make you rich and no sorrow comes with it; only an abundance of joy.

MoneyWalk 102 You Are Not A Second-Class Citizen
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
To get you or
keep you on their side, they'll say many things your flesh wants to hear. When
that doesn't work, they'll hit you with a bunch of opinions aimed at
guilt-tripping you into their way of doing things. Since everyone wants to be a
first-class citizen, accepted and honored by others around them (especially
influential people), they believe you'll come over to their side of the
fence if they can convince you their way of obtaining positions, notoriety,
fame, large incomes, money, and material things is better than your
understanding of scriptural instruction concerning good stewardship. They
desire to convince you that you’re currently living like a second-class
citizen.
Their way of
getting wealth on earth might be better than your way, but it does not come
close to the peace, joy and fulfillment of biblical financial instruction,
which benefits your earthly and eternal life. For what does it profit a man to
gain the world but lose his soul? The only way you'll know God’s way (the
right path) is by daily bible study to determine whether you're doing
things important to God and necessary for success in His eyes, such as:
·
Loving
God and neighbor enough to tell them about Christ.
·
Attending
a local church.
·
Worshipping
daily, including thanks, praise, and prayer.
·
Living
holy.
·
Tithing
to your church.
·
Giving
abundantly to other worthwhile ministries.
·
Properly
managing income, eliminating debt, saving, and investing.
Don’t believe
the hype of the messengers who try to make you feel like you’re a second-class
citizen or that their way is the only way to prosper. Learn scripture well and
become intimate with the Holy Spirit in prayer and meditation, so you can see
where mens’ instruction deviates from scriptural instruction and faith.
Everyone who has repented of sin and accepted Jesus Christ as LORD & Savior
spends time with and lives to please Him and is a first-class citizen in the
Kingdom of Heaven no matter his/her stature, position, notoriety, income,
assets, or material possessions on earth.
Rest in His
promise that what you need and many things you desire will be provided to you
in God’s perfect timing as you continue to seek His will by faith, biblical
instruction, and corresponding action.
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!

MoneyWalk 101 Rightly Divide The Word Of Truth
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Do you believe the LORD or do you believe man? He alone knows fully the ills (a) of not giving to share the Gospel with other people and helping to meet needs, (b) of carrying debt and leveraging your livelihood on it, (c) of not keeping your spending well within your net income, (d) of not setting aside a reasonable emergency fund, (e) of not investing for long-term growth, and (f) of not diversifying assets. There have been millions of instances of people going bankrupt and experiencing home foreclosures, vehicle repossessions, and incessant bill collector calls that show us He knows the truth and the complete picture of what will happen in the future when you take a path opposite His instructions.
In many instances, these situations would not happen when people rightly divide the word of truth and follow biblical financial guidance instead of pursuing the lust of the eyes, flesh, and pride of life. People who manage their income to live well beneath their means get to the point of living debt-free, abundant giving, and growth. They get out and stay out of financial bondage because they owe no man anything but love and seek to honor the LORD with their lives including finances.
There’s
a small percentage of people who only care about making money off people, and
not about clients’ overall well-being, and thus will instruct them to
frequently move from one commission paying investment to another (churning
accounts) in order to make as much money as possible, all while perpetuating
the myth that such moves are in clients’ best interest. Harmful advice also comes
from people who rub elbows with the investing elite and those who are famous,
rich, and powerful (remember Madoff).
In
addition, many people continue to be manipulated into poor financial decisions
by marketing campaigns that point out all the material things they do not have.
They are often made to feel like second-class citizens when they don’t keep up
with the Joneses – often feeling unhappy when they do not obtain the “so-called
best” and the same types of positions and notoriety as those society considers
successful.
You should never follow a course of action, financial or otherwise, without studying the bible to see if it is aligned with God’s will and pleasing to Him. You should also consider whether the guidance, at any point in time, would cause you to engage in activities that keep you from regular fellowship with God and His people (the Church). Otherwise, you will fail to plant and water the gospel in other people’s lives, build them up in the faith, and be the good example He wants you to be.
Most people who dish out or follow ungodly advice
lack peace, joy, and fulfillment in this life no matter what it seems like to
other people and no matter the testimonial they give to others. Remember, the
devil would have you believe he is living a better life than the one God originally
had planned for him. When you follow the devil’s guidance you reap the
consequences meant for him. This has unfortunately lead millions of people into
godless and unwise pursuit of material things which resulted in bankruptcies,
foreclosures, and sometimes even suicide.
Some people gain opulent material things and
prominence among men in this life, but they will be insignificant and
unsuccessful in God’s eyes and will suffer a devastating eternal fate because
they have not accepted Him as LORD & Savior and do not adhere to His will
by asking for His wisdom, living within His commands, and employing His
lifestyle and financial principles. So, rightly divide the Word of Truth so you
can experience His blessing and reward and be a godly example to others.
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!

MoneyWalk 100 Who Leads You?
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
The vast
majority of material things you could purchase are not immoral neither is
moving into or being selected for positions and platforms that come with
notoriety, fame, and power. Sometime, people denigrate such things as though
they are automatically ungodly or look at the person who has them as one who
must have done something ungodly to get them.
It is true
that people sometimes pursue these things for ungodly reasons because their
motives for getting them and maintaining them are wrong. They may want them in order to feel more
important or powerful than others around them. Yet, this does not mean the things
obtained are ungodly. It only means the person’s motives are inappropriate and
need to be repented of. Then, he/she will understand, in the LORD’s eyes, these
things do not make him/her more important or special than anyone else.
You can stay
focused on what's truly important (loving and serving Him and other people)
while pursuing business and entrepreneurial opportunities by making the
following declaration in your prayer times.
LORD, like
Jesus Christ my pursuit of dreams and goals will be according to Your will. You
give me knowledge, understanding, and discipline to successfully market my
skills and abilities to be profitable and serve many people. Your word affirms
You prosper people who help me prosper, both investors, workers, and
intercessors. I will be a godly example to all those in my sphere of influence
and glorify You on every platform.
Now, go
forward and multiply using the skills, abilities, and spiritual gift He gave
you, serving Him and other people, putting yourself and them in position to
greatly prosper and enjoy the fruits of your labor He so richly provides.
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!

MoneyWalk 99 When To Purchase Desires
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Fulfilling such desires also works to destroy your financial well-being. When you do not properly budget and carefully plan purchases, your push to buy everything that seems good to your eyes, flesh, and pride will put you in debt bondage. It will obstruct your ability to honor God, fulfill your calling, and responsibly provide for your family.
Desires rage because we are fallen humans, yet we are also pushed these days via millions of advertisements to buy or rent thousands of products and services we really don’t need. They tend to show us only the glamorous side of having them but not the burden of being debt-ridden trying to purchase it all. Nor do they show the fallacy of thinking these things make you special or prosperous. You are special because God created you, never because of material things you’ve obtained. You are prosperous when your lifestyle and stewardship of money is pleasing to Him. So, make sure your outgo does not exceed your income, making your upkeep your downfall.
Before they make a purchase, many people don’t measure their ability to truly afford things they desire nor the cost that constant indebtedness will have on them and their families. They also don’t measure whether the purchase is wholesome in God’s eyes and will help propel the gospel or truly take care of a responsibility important to Him (such as caring for family, serving others, etc.). This brings grave financial problems into their lives.
To avoid this predicament, ask the following questions. First, is the desire, product, and/or service moral according to the bible? Second, will it augment godly relationships? Third, will the purchase impede my ability to tithe and give abundantly? Fourth, can I purchase it without taking on debt? Fifth, will the purchase hamper my ability to provide for family needs? Sixth, after the purchase will I still have a reasonable amount of emergency funds and investment assets? Purchasing only after “yes” answers to these questions will help you maintain good stewardship, eliminate financial bondage, and build wealth.
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!
