MoneyWalk 211 The Most Important Thing

 

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

 

Though I teach people how to manage money according to biblical principles using present day methods that please God, I understand that the result you should seek is not wealth for wealth’s sake or prominence in other peoples’ eyes.

 

Many people want to succeed in having big incomes, expensive homes, and cars in order to show other people or prove to themselves that they’re somebody. Others want to do it because societal teaching and influence says this is what you should aim for, otherwise you’re not successful.

 

However, these are wrong reasons to pursue careers and ministry that may allow large incomes that can provide expensive homes and cars. The careers and ministry are not the problem, as long as they are not in and of themselves unholy by nature. The large incomes, homes, and cars are also not the problem. The problem is any person’s or society’s attitude that makes God’s will secondary or less.

 

Many people through immaturity or unbelief have chosen what they perceive to be the better part. Yet, we know the better part is sitting at the feet of Jesus, spending time with Him, getting filled up so that we can go out and do what He created us for including the good works He assigns us throughout our lives. Yet, our carnal nature, the people we live around, and thoughts brought to us by fallen angels tempt the overwhelming majority of people to seek fortune or fame they believe will bring riches, without regard for the gifts and calling the Holy Spirit desires for our lives.

 

Another sizable segment of society seeks self-expression through artistic or utilitarian endeavors, supposedly not caring anything about making a decent living on which to provide for themselves and family, but also not caring about staying within the bounds of decency in God’s Word as they walk out their lives, professions, and endeavors.

 

You must realize it’s natural for hard work at a legitimate job or business to prosper you over the long haul through raises, promotions, greater opportunities, and good management of your income. This situation provides for increased comforts and flexibility throughout your life. Yet, in order to know whether or not you have a proper perspective on prospering and being successful, you should continually ask if things get real tight and my income is drastically reduced and some expenses need to be cut in the short-term so I can continue moving into long-term financial health and vitality will I still claim Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, manage my life by His principles, and give up anything that is not helpful to my life in Him and focus upon Him and what He called me to do and be?

 

I certainly hope your answer to Him is, Lord as we move into the future, I’m ready, willing, and able to sacrifice things and positions in order to be blessed by You so I can be a blessing to many others.

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!
