Even when troubles surround us, in Christ we have peace because He overcame the world, dwells in us, & causes us to triumph.

MoneyWalk 141 Cosigning Is Not Helpful
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Many of
the people asking you to cosign will continue to be financially irresponsible
and impatient in pursuing desires and in other financial dealings. Some may be
well-meaning up front, but shortly thereafter will stop making agreed upon
payments. Then, you will (a) be required to make the remaining payments
for their purchases, (b) risk ruining your credit history when you
cannot pay, and (c) be thrust into a bad financial situation. Unless you
have the money to cover the purchase and want to give it to them, agreeing to cosign
for another person’s borrowing will almost always cause you to be the one
paying the bill at some point down the road.
Cosigning
encourages family and friends to remain financially irresponsible and
untrustworthy. Refusing to cosign doesn’t mean along the path of life you
should not help people. Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, help find shelter
for the homeless, and invest in worthwhile business endeavors for start-up
entrepreneurs. However, there are many resources in your cupboards, closets,
and community that can help with such endeavors. When someone cannot afford to
purchase a material thing desired (unneeded product or service), then he
should not have it at that time via debt on your record. Be an example of one
who trusts God and works to earn income to meet needs and obtain desires
without causing anyone to take on debt. If the Holy Spirit is inspiring you to
help, then give available cash in an amount that will not cause you to be an
infidel who cannot care for your own household. Otherwise, you are not in a
position to help and you definitely don’t want to cast your pearls to swine. Never
waste resources entrusted to you on people who willfully disregard biblical instruction
on good stewardship. Regardless, of what you do for them they will continuously
and irresponsibly spend and make poor financial decisions that continue their
poverty mentality and position.
Watch,
pray, and observe people to find out how you should help or instruct those who ask
you to cosign. The devil constantly encourages you to mismanage money, so you are
unable to give greatly to fulfill the Great Commission via (a) prudently
providing for family, (b) maintaining and enhancing local church
outreach and discipleship ministry, (c) and funding missions nationally
and globally. Many people don’t realize they’re being used by the devil to
thwart the gospel. Don’t condemn them, just don’t give in to the enemy’s plan
for money God entrusts to you. Immediately discontinue cosigning and pray that
those who ask you to cosign will allow the Holy Spirit to guide them in using
biblical money management principles, so they can meet their God-given
responsibilities.

MoneyWalk 140 Don’t Borrow To Purchase Desires
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Over fifty percent of people who get student loans don’t finish
college. During recessionary periods, many people find themselves underwater or
at the mercy of foreclosure because they cannot pay mortgages they could not afford
on current income. Others are devasted because they’ve taken loans, often with above
average interest rates, and then get laid off or fired and experience unnerving
periods of unemployment. Some use borrowed funds to purchase investments that lose
money because they were not well conceived or supported by factual historical
data showing long-term annual gains. Indebtedness is especially devastating
when you experience loss of income including from failed business endeavors.
Creditors won’t tell you about the grief that accompanies debt.
When you don’t have a mindset to eliminate debt and stay out of it in the
future, it eventually renders you unable to make loan payments and pay them off
and pursue investments you really need to create a wealth legacy for your
family and generous gifts to be used to serve others leading them to salvation,
eternal life, and a future of obedience to the LORD’s will including teaching
them how to fish so they can provide for themselves economically as they move
throughout life. Loans may not seem bad when you apply for them, but they
become harmful to you and your family over time because most of the funds are
not spent on things that greatly appreciate in value or that give you
drastically increased earning power throughout your life.
You should not be fearful of what life may bring, because
the LORD is there to uphold you when seeking to live in a way that pleases Him.
So, make sure your activities and actions are aligned with good stewardship
principles. Then, you can properly love God and people by regarding His word
foremost and listening to His guidance for your lifestyle, pursuit of work, income
and assets, and the use of all resources entrusted to you. Trust the Lord and
thus be wise about the proportion of income that goes to giving, saving and
spending and be careful to stay out of debt.
Employer loyalty to employees and vice-versa seems to be a
thing of the past for many people. A result of this shift in caring for one
another is massive layoffs because it is considered the foremost remedy for
every situation when a business is not as profitable as Wall Street powerbrokers
want it to be. Also, many financial institutions expect it in order to get more
insidious loans to supposedly correct profitability problems. Another result of
the shifting loyalty is employees moving from employer to employer in less than
five-year intervals (even when they could stay on a long-term basis)
because they believe it’s necessary to achieve the good life (get all the pay
and material things they’ve ever wanted). Individuals and businesses should
stay out of debt and eliminate the debt they have to avoid financial bondage
and increase loyalty to one another, so businesses are not derailed, thus
hurting many who really didn’t need to suffer and so individuals are able to avoid
repossession, foreclosure, bankruptcy and the accompanying headaches and
heartaches.
Severe financial distress is often the result of poor money management
long before layoffs and pay cuts occurred. This is true with few exceptions,
though many people don’t want to acknowledge it. We simply don’t give, save
& invest, and then spend like we really believe economic downturns could
occur at some point down the road. We don’t plan for rainy days. Instead, we
continually say every desire we have is a need and borrow more and more money
to make fulfilling them a regular part of our lifestyle. Instead of using godly
stewardship principles to manage income, we spend our time focusing on what we
believe our employer should be doing or what it is not doing. You cannot force an
employer to operate the way you think it should. Instead, choose to change your
work and money management habits to achieve a better financial condition. This
Holy Spirit led endeavor, including a plan to eliminate debt and stop using it
in the future, will release you from bondage brought on by loans you
irresponsibly accepted from lenders.

MoneyWalk 139 Honor God Above All Else!
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Honor the LORD by tithing and offering each time you receive
income in order to help spread the gospel and make disciples in places and
lands far beyond your personal reach. Believers, by faith, tithe in accordance
with biblical instruction. They know He provides everything they receive even
though the conduit is an earthly tool like an employer, business customers, government
largesse, or generous friends. As a sacrifice of worship and praise, they trust
He will do far more with cash flow that remains than they could do with one
hundred percent of the income initially received.
A tithe is one-tenth of your gross income, usually given to
the local church you attend because it is the fellowship from which you are
spiritually nourished, trained, and sometimes materially helped when in need. Perhaps
more than any other organization, you trust it to do the same for many others
in your community because you’ve seen firsthand its faithfulness in
evangelizing and making disciples. Offerings are free-will in nature, with no
specific amount or percentage mentioned in scripture, and should be given
cheerfully as you purpose in your heart to your local church, other trustworthy
and worthwhile ministries, and the needy. You allow future frustration,
headaches, and heartaches, into your life when you make creditors, worldly
pleasures, and living like the Joneses the priority pursuit of your life
instead of following God’s instructions by tithing and offering in proportion
to your income to help the Church accomplish His will on a much better and more
global scale than you can by yourself.
For many people, robbing God by failing to tithe and give results
in many difficult financial situations, strained marital relationships, and
undisciplined lives that are unfruitful in the work He called them to do. He
allows you to obtain whatever income is available to you at every stage of your
life. Tithing and offering provide an appropriate portion to the Church for the
work of spreading the gospel. When you do, the windows of Heaven are opened and
extravagant blessings poured upon you. The devourer is rebuked so he cannot destroy
your ability to increase and do good works for which the LORD made you. A
generous heart moves His hand to bless you with peace, joy, and wealth as you
walk the road ahead. It also helps lead unbelievers to Jesus Christ and provides
believers with tools to help equip them to fulfill the godly purpose for their
lives.
Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all
these things shall be added unto you. Give and it shall be given unto you; full
measure and overflowing shall men give into your life. No good thing shall the
LORD withhold from those who walk uprightly before Him. When you make His will
your priority, He abundantly provides everything you need for life, godliness,
and fulfillment of the destiny He planned for you.

MoneyWalk 138 Live In The Wealthy Place
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Via intimate fellowship, ask Him to show you
verses that relate to gainful employment, planning, tithing, giving, saving
& investing, debt elimination, and spending. Then, use them to establish
your vision and draft a written plan including a budget to keep your expenses
in proper alignment with income and available liquid assets. Consistently
follow it, so you can fulfill His calling. A wise person employs good
stewardship and saves and invests a portion of income in order to be successful
and build wealth in a God-honoring way, whereas a foolish person spends it all
and gets into financial bondage.
Don’t let your current income level or financial
situation dictate your vision and actions, otherwise you'll be in turmoil. That
is not the legacy you want to live in or leave behind. A perceived lack of
income and hopeless circumstances through your natural eyes doesn't limit God's
ability to provide you with the vision, instruction, motivation, skill
development, open doors, and favor to help you use simple financial principles
to undo bondage and live in The Wealthy Place. Let good stewardship be the
legacy you leave family and friends, because this will be the journey that
allows you to find and set aside additional cash flow for greater giving and
investing in order to leave an inheritance to your children’s children and to
the Church to help it continue to lead people to Jesus Christ and make
disciples long after you go home to be with Him.
