This program will help
you undo financial bondage.
Many people fail to rid themselves of
destructive lifestyles and habits. This rings true for their finances as well
as other areas of their lives. Here are three groups that fit this picture.
The first group contains people who
go through life unsaved and on their way to Hell while at the same time
experiencing financial defeat and its pressure and stress, except for the few
handouts people give them from time to time, that never seem to help better
their situation. Some in this group, at some point in life, usually make a move
toward Jesus Christ because their situation dictates they try something to pull
themselves out of despair. They must be careful to truly accept Him as Savior
and LORD in their hearts instead of simply accepting Him in confession with an
aim to turn their situation around and then walk out on Him after they get the
goods.
The second group consists of people
who are unsaved and monetarily do well on earth. Though they do well
financially and some may even be rich, they’re in poverty because they fail to
accept Jesus Christ as Savior and LORD. They are eternally doomed no matter how
much money, fame, or power they have in this life. In fact, many people that
make it into this group never escape from eternal death to gain eternal life in
Christ because they let themselves be blinded by their position of ease and great
blessing in this world.
They tend to be self-centered and
success oriented at all costs with an attitude that they are self-sufficient
and need no one, especially a God they cannot see with their natural eyes. They
generally feel they have made it on their own and that they can always persuade
other people, when necessary to get what they want. They have great skill and
platforms that could be used to spread the gospel and build the Kingdom of God
in the hearts of men, but for reasons noted above they consider their highest
priority to be amassing great wealth so they can live by their own rules and
desires.
The third group consists of people
who accept Christ as Savior and are on their way to Heaven, yet they are
financially defeated and depressed except for the few times when someone gives
them a few dollars here or there to momentarily ease their state of poverty on
earth. People in this group must be careful not to allow their seemingly
endless woes to move them to give up their confession of faith in Christ. They
should seek to know Him better in order to better steward His possessions and
receive the rewards thereof.
While I'd rather be in the third
group than in the first two groups, I can do much better in this life than just
being saved and on my way to Heaven while living defeated on earth. In this
very short existence on earth, I help fund the gospel in my community and
around the world and serve as an intentional ambassador for Christ to tens of
thousands of people. God planned a level of wealth for every believer! I desire
to follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance, by putting myself in a position, through
good stewardship of time, talents, money, and possessions He entrusts to me, to
obtain the wealth He planned for me for the glory of God and benefit of His
kingdom.
Due to the earthly and/or eternal
calamity awaiting people in the first three groups who are unrepentant of their
sin and/or ignorant of their need for Christ’s power in their lives, I have
chosen to be part of a fourth group - those who accept Christ and position
themselves to receive heavenly treasures for the up-building of His kingdom.
There is also a danger to people in
this group. They must not let the deceitfulness of riches, power, fame, and
position captivate them so much that they discard humility toward God and man
and begin to seek wealth at any cost or fail to use it according to His will.
Otherwise, they may wind up like Demas, who followed the Apostle Paul for many
years, but then left the LORD and the ministry because he loved the things of
the world far more. Oh, what great blessing and rewards one has in eternity who
does not turn his back on the LORD and His people!
The Bible identifies lifestyle and
financial principles we need to govern time, talent, money, and possessions.
However, you must study His word and then show yourself approved by using them
in order to better yourself and your finances. Otherwise, you will suffer or
perish on earth and/or in eternity! So, quickly commit to an ongoing personal
relationship with Jesus Christ and seek to move into the fourth group, so God
can use you in ever greater ways to bring His will to pass.

29:18, Matthew 8:25, 1Corinthians 8:10-13, 2Peter 3:9

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!
