MoneyWalk 204 Good Stewards Get Rewards

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

The Lord designed His body, the church, to operate and fulfill its mandated mission using under-shepherds to lead, guide, teach, and provide spiritual protection to His flock. He is the Good Shepherd and they serve under Him in a manner that pursues His will for themselves and the flock, not their own will. If any leader be found to not serve the purposes of Christ, not hold dear the things that He holds dear, and not act and live in the manner in which Christ and the early apostles did, then he is not a shepherd or good steward under Christ and you should find yourself a true church to attend lead by shepherds that follow Christ and that ask only of you that you follow them as they follow Christ.

Staying in fellowship with such a leader because he or she has charisma is not a path you should walk on, for satan is a leader with charisma. Yet, we know he leads people into sin, destruction, and damnation. As a child of God, you should desire no communion with such rebellion. Each individual Christ follower must study the Word while asking the Holy Spirit for understanding, and thank Him for empowerment to fulfill its instructions.

God designed and gave instructions that a portion of people’s tithes and offerings would provide for needs of the church administration and carrying out its part in the gospel mission. It would also provide reasonable income for those who serve as under-shepherd who give their time to prayer and study of God’s word so they can effectively lead, guide, teach, and train those who follow them.

Don’t fail to tithe because you don’t like that your shepherd’s are paid, are paid a certain amount, or because you do not agree with particular projects / ministries they have undertaken. This will block the blessings and rewards God has in store for you. Rather, tithe unto God and let Him handle ministerial pay and church ministry details in the manner He chooses through the people He allowed to be placed in eldership over that congregation. Also, grow into an abundant giver who joins with a community of believers in which you discern and see evidence that the fruit matches the type scripture shows is produced by Christ’s body. As a result, you will reap abundantly from the seeds you sow.

Look for a church where under-shepherds serve members in the ways God identified as spiritual, practical, and profitable in building up those they lead. Disassociate with those who take advantage of other people for filthy gain and highly regard those who desire that you prosper, because it’s improbable you’ll build wealth when you allow anyone to suck up for himself every bit of money you receive.

Under-shepherds should always seek the best advantage for the sheep (members of the body of Christ) according to the instruction of the Word and the parameters of blessing and reward God put His stamp on in scripture. A component of continual instruction should be teaching people how to be good stewards to help finance ministry goals and maintenance of the Church as an organism and organization in the earth. This will cause the church, its under-shepherd, and members to be abundantly blessed and rewarded.

Numbers 18:21, John 10:7-15, Acts 4:36, 2Corinthians 9:6-8, 1Peter 5:1-4

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!
