This program will help you undo financial bondage.
You can be rich without being arrogant! There are many
wealthy people who are not respecters-of-persons. They do not look down their
noses at other people because of their station in life and they genuinely try
to help lift others up to the spiritual and natural state of blessedness that
Christ wants each person to experience.
Yet, there are times when people will call you
arrogant because they've mistaken it for godly confidence. We must certainly
allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate areas of our life where we may be thinking
or acting in an arrogant manner and make practical changes to be more
Christ-like because greater natural stature (riches, power, position, fame,
etc.) attracts demons that tempt you to put off Christ-likeness and believe
you’re more special to the Lord than other people because your brilliance, the
work of your hands, and self-sufficiency advanced you to the stature you have
among men.
Spirits of arrogance are particularly attracted to
rich people to a greater degree than the general populace, especially with
regard to respecting persons. They tempt the unwary person to become haughty
about himself and his accomplishments and lead him to think he’s better than
everyone who hasn’t attained a level of wealth set in his mind as the level
necessary to be recognized and loved by man and/or God as a person of great
vision, purpose, and destiny.
No doubt, people who are poor can be arrogant as well.
Their arrogance generally initiates from the idea that their poverty makes them
more acceptable to God than other people because they seem to have no regard
for money. They are not more special because they’ve taken a vow of poverty or
have a mindset of not doing things the bible says everyone should do like (1)
working faithfully to earn income to take care of your family, (2) faithfully
and consistently tithe and give to spread the gospel throughout the earth, (3)
manage money properly per scriptural principles, (4) eliminate and stay out of
debt, and (5) save and invest a reasonable portion of cash flow to make it grow
for future benefit of the kingdom mission to benefit others and to cover
emergency problems that may come up as you walk the road of life.
Everyone rich, poor, and in-between must recognize the
evil intentions of demons that tempt one to be arrogant. To fend them off,
regularly read the bible and daily fellowship with the Lord via worship,
praise, and prayer and fellowship with a local bible-believing church in order
to understand that in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free,
male nor female and that all who truly believe in Him have His richness living
inside them. His way is for you to recognize your lowly position on earth no
matter how many accolades men give you, yet to recognize your high position in
Him where you and others who are saved, no matter their earthly station, are
seated with Him in Heavenly places. Never believe the lie that another person
is less desirable to God than you are because of their earthly material wealth
or lack thereof.
By all means, you should practically per scriptural
principles do all you can to increase the life and money He entrusts to you so
you can be a greater blessing to others. And, you should be an example to
others in this endeavor in the same manner as the first two servants in the
Parables of the Talents that traded the money entrusted to them and doubled it.
They received the encouraging words “Well done my good and faithful servant.
Now, enter into the joy of your Lord!” As you prosper in the earth by managing
money according to biblical principles, don't accept arrogance demons in your
life or else you’ll experience negative results in your life and fail to be the
loving example the Lord wants you to be.
Proverbs 16:18-20, Luke 12:15-34, James
2:1-9, Revelations 2:8-11, 3:14-22

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!
