MoneyWalk 330 Properly Use Wisdom

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

King Solomon was a man of great wisdom, yet something went terribly wrong in his life. His immorality became progressively worse, and some theologians debate whether at his death he was close to Father God. He was a good king in many ways, but his unwise action affected the kingdom of Israel so much that it split apart shortly after his death after his son who ascended to the throne would not relieve the tax oppression Solomon levied on the people to take care of idol worshipping queens and concubines and to obtain and maintain excessive material things.

He disobeyed God by making treaties with nations God told Israel to conquer and not make alliances with. To make matters worse, he married hundreds of these nations’ princesses to feed fleshly lusts and make alliances that were not God’s will for Israel. Even though the Lord early on gave Solomon direct access to His wisdom, he chose to progressively use sensual, human-derived intelligence to direct his and Israel’s path without realizing it would progressively lead him and many Israelites away from the Lord. God alone is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient and thus knows specifically what’s best for every single person, family, and nation and knows the decisions and actions necessary for people to obtain and sustain true reward and blessing.

Solomon’s actions led to idol worship throughout the land, ungodly excesses at every turn, financial oppression of citizens, and emptiness in his soul. Regardless of the gold laden temple he built, all the riches he secured, and his fame throughout the known world, the course of his life became a foul odor to God and caused immorality to fester in Israel for many years because of his poor example and his failure to properly use the wisdom God granted him.

You can escape this trap by following biblical principles in every area of your life. When you seek him, the Lord will not direct you in a manner that violates His will written in the bible. Don’t make treaties with the devil, worldly people, or your carnal nature by overspending and going into debt, rather make your priority legitimate gainful employment, giving first and abundantly to fund the Great Commission. Also, budget your income to care for family now and into the future through reasonable and disciplined saving, investing, and spending that glorifies the Lord and brings you earthly and eternal benefit.

Psalms 111:10, Proverbs 15:32-33, Luke 12:32-34, Ephesians 5:15-20

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!
