MoneyWalk 331 Charitable Giving

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Whenever humans establish charitable and benevolence programs, we must understand some applicants may get benefits who truly didn't qualify. Even discerning individuals and Churches provide benefits to some who were not truly needy. We should not worry about the times these situations slip through our view. We should simply do our best to obtain background information, determine benefits eligibility, and have best practices that minimize fraudulent activity so we can help as many as we can who are truly in need. Once you find out a person is not qualified for help, cut off money and resources to him / her and consider doing what’s necessary and prudent to recapture anything taken fraudulently so you’re a good steward of all the Lord entrusts to you.

Let past failures and the few times people may have slipped through the cracks be lessons learned that help hone your individual and corporate benevolence processes and help you realize that in all things you must trust the Lord and expect His help in order to be truly generous instead of an enabler of wicked activities. Ask Him to help you use the right balance of intellectual ability and spiritual discernment. He created both to help you understand His ways and successfully walk through this life doing His will.

Jesus Christ, the apostles, and ancient biblical patriarchs and matriarchs did not live with the priority of being social service agencies. You don’t find biblical accounts of them going about indiscriminately handing out money and resources to people many would consider needy. Their mission was to intimately know Father God and publish the gospel, so others could also choose Jesus and thus have a home in Heaven and be provided their need according to His riches in glory.

Our spiritual ancestor’s faithful actions (good works) are examples that help us know Christ better. They largely brought healing for afflictions, deliverance from bondage, and lifestyle examples by which many subsequent generations could be blessed. In speaking of them, the Bible, provides principles that govern charitable giving of money and resources and identifies peoples’ circumstances that meet qualifications for such benevolence. It aims those desiring benevolence at doing what is spiritually, physically, and mentally needful to help set themselves on the right course that contains everything necessary to meet their earthly and eternal need.

Every Christian individual and corporate body must never forget the primary mission is to worship and glorify the Lord, evangelize unbelievers, and make disciples of those who have chosen to believe. Refuse to get sidetracked by human and satanic agendas that would have you put your priority on providing social services instead of on gospel proclamation, for it profits people nothing to lose their souls, yet receive every earthly thing needed or desired. Instead, put charitable works in their proper place, which is to augment the number one priority of delivering the gospel to lost people headed toward an eternity in Hell. No matter people’s income and asset levels on this earth they’re all the poor the Lord is seeking to reach. Necessary provision, blessing, and reward will flow into their lives (monetary and otherwise) after they come to Him by submitting their bodies as living sacrifices obedient to His good stewardship instructions. 

God will guide and set up situations for your fulfillment and success and that of His Church when you continually ask for His wisdom. He will provide appropriate help (people, plans, projects, money, resources, etc.) for the needy in every arena of life (family, neighborhood, business, church, governments, etc.). He will help you craft generosity qualifications that largely avoid benefitting wicked or immoral activities and greedy or lazy people. Also, He’ll help you understand how much money and resources should be expended and time limits for providing such help. He blesses us to be a blessing, yet we must put love in its proper context in order to truly love people and help those in need without enabling them to continue to engage hurtful / harmful habits and activities. Certainly, we can give people a fish on which they can eat for a day, but more importantly the LORD wants us to teach them how to fish so they can eat abundantly for a lifetime and throughout eternity.

Genesis 41:33-57, Acts 6:1-7, 1Timothy 5:3-16, 2Thessalonians 3:3-16

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!
