MoneyWalk 114 Wisdom Confounds The World

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Many people seek the same thing: to become rich in this life so they can have luxury, happiness, and the praise of men. Some are convinced the LORD is automatically pleased when they earn a lot of income and build a huge asset base, no matter how they go about getting there. Others think He doesn’t exist therefore it doesn’t matter whether He’s pleased. Still others think he is never please with income and wealth building and thus they essentially take vows of poverty. 

It’s true some have become arrogant in their knowledge and abilities and disrespectful to those they believe are not as wealthy as they are. They will use any means necessary to get rich including deceit, oppression of the poor, and immoral behavior. When men praise their success and the methods used to obtain wealth and status, they oppress people even more in order to maintain and increase their influential position in the eyes of men. People worshipping them becomes an addiction and they feel like they must get more of it regardless of the cost. They disregard people, sometimes their own family members, considering everyone to be lazy free-loaders who are not worthy of help when they are beneath their level of income, power, or fame unless they have goals and take action to get to their level.

In case you currently think this way in any area of your life, beware that worldly knowledge puffs up your head when it is not accompanied by godly understanding and wisdom. Such knowledge doesn’t allow you to see you aren't worthy to be in God's presence regardless of the millions you amass and industries you control. There is no goodness you have or deed you can do to make you acceptable to Him.

He clothed Himself in flesh on earth and shed His blood for your redemption despite all your shortcomings. This same truth applies to people you have been disparaging. He’s called you to be a child of God, a citizen of Heaven, and His heir but you must accept this powerful and eternal relationship by repenting of your sin by putting faith in Jesus Christ as Savior & LORD.

He certainly doesn’t want you to have a poverty mentality and has no problem with increasing income and wealth. He simply wants you to be intimate with Him and to show you the way to honorably obtain and use these tools to spread the Gospel and help many other people come to know Him and receive of His bounty. This stores treasures in Heaven for the eternal life He gives every believer. Please beware that your continued failure to accept the deep personal relationship He offers will increase your pride, arrogance, and lack. Such a lifestyle may bring negative consequences upon you in this life. If not here, surely judgment will be decreed against you when you appear at the Great White Throne Judgment, if you do not repent and turn to Christ before you die. It will be a judgment of your own choosing.

The world’s wisdom overlooks this truth, but God’s wisdom confounds the world by truly prospering you after you make His will your priority and use only moral methods to build relationships, income, and wealth that honors Him.

Job 28:28, 32:9, Proverbs 3:7, Daniel 12:3, Romans 1:22, 1Cor. 3:18-23, 2 Tim. 3:14-17

The book at the link below provides principles and practical steps that help you use the Power To Get Wealth. By 1992, we had $135,000 of debt and a negative $35,000 net worth. Financial bondage and turmoil led me to seek principles and a process for employing good stewardship. As a result, we became constructively debt-free in 1998, mortgage free January 2004, millionaires in 2012, multi-millionaires shortly thereafter, and retired in 2018 in my mid-fifties from public servant jobs while giving abundantly to fund the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ. The same power is available to you!
