MoneyWalk 311: What Is Required of You?

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

The bible shows that people should honor the Lord by developing an intimate relationship with Him that results in consistent serving & giving of an abundant proportion of time & money to the Church for ministry. This is the result of the overflow of His love shed abroad in their hearts by the Holy Spirit. We should use an abundant portion of our income and assets to faithfully do the good works of evangelism and disciple-making and distributing to help meet other needs of people because His will for allowing us to make or receive a living and build wealth is more important than any opulent lifestyle we could purchase for ourselves and family!

Indeed, His will and our part in carrying it out on the earth is more important than looking and living like the rich and famous of the world. Now that does not mean nice and expensive things are off limits to you, but it does mean that your first and foremost attitude and actions should be to abundantly give and serve before you consider lavishing material things upon yourself. In this regard, unreasonable opulence is purchasing material things for yourself without first and continually being rich toward the Lord and the work He instructed you to do while on earth.

Scripture shows you also should not oppress, misuse, or abuse people, nor use “any-means-possible” to build or maintain wealth. Given this biblical instruction, the question is: do you still want the responsibility that comes with being rich? Refuse to pursue riches with the priority of loading yourself with all sorts of material goodies without any thought of what will be required of you on Judgment Day. With this mindset, don’t be afraid of God allowing you to obtain great monetary resources. Also, don’t think you’re useless to Him if you don’t amass the level of money or material things other people think you should amass.

Rather, put on the mind of Christ so you’ll faithfully, consistently, and abundantly honor Him now in tithing, offering, good works, and other forms of generosity, in recognition that you’re already rich in Him and destined for greater prosperity throughout your life. Use faith and biblical financial principles to discipline yourself to do what God instructed His people to do in every area of life, including the financial arena.

Luke 12:13-21, 2Corinthians 9:6-15, 1Timothy 6:17-19, James 5:1-6, Malachi 3:5

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!
