This
program will help you undo financial bondage.
Handling
money management in a biblically correct way benefits you by allowing money to
be put to the right uses in the right proportion to your income and assets;
those in line with God’s purpose for you and the Church. This includes
spreading the gospel, making disciples of other people, properly caring for
your family, training them in His holy morals and standards, helping those
truly in need in ways that truly help them and shows them how to help
themselves in the future.
This
pattern allows the money the Lord entrusts to you to remain under His spiritual
direction and your earthly control when it would otherwise be paid out to those
you borrow from. It’s likely they would not use it for His glory! The mind of
Christ in you desires to show you that getting in debt is not faithful to Him
because it shows you don’t believe He’s the provider of all good things and
desires to help you succeed without turning to ways of doing it that aren’t in
line with instructions in the Bible.
Scripture
doesn’t contain any story, instruction, encouragement, or motivation to pursue
lifestyle, success, notoriety, or power through borrowing money and thus taking
on debt. Men around you may do it and a small number may become very successful
to the world and receive honor in the eyes of men, but the vast majority of
people who use debt as the means to attain success suffer the burden of
financial bondage that ruins relationships, family unity, personal psyche,
reputations, etc.
Having
beliefs and taking actions opposite scriptural instruction lessens your ability
to trust the Lord to provide all you need for sufficiency in all things. It
puts you in a place where you’re a slave to the lender, which most times is led
by worldly designs to enslave you, your income, assets, and wealth building
capacity so it cannot be used to greatly benefit people in the way God desires.
Start
the mind renewal and thus lifestyle renewal process by (1) accepting Jesus
Christ as Savior & Lord, (2) daily worshipping Him including thanks and praise,
(3) regularly reading / studying the Bible, (4) daily praying to Him, (5)
weekly attending a church that teaches biblical instruction and admonishes its
parishioners to live according to it, (6) working faithfully in a way that
brings gainful income, (7) tithing & offering, (8) saving an emergency
fund, and (9) investing in a diversified manner once adequate savings are put
away in order to build wealth that will benefit the kingdom and your heirs in
due time.
This
should lead you to draft a budget based on the priorities (1) give first, (2)
then save, (3) then spend reasonably. It must identify your monthly income,
subtract your expected expenses, and show you whether you have a surplus or
deficit and give you a view of whether or not you need to cut expenses and/or
grow income via overtime, new jobs, and no cost entrepreneurial profit making
ventures in order to master all of the things mentioned in the paragraph above.
If
you don't follow the biblical plan, you will employ satan's destructive plan
for your life by obtaining credit cards and loans you don't need in order to
buy things you can’t afford. This only brings misery into your life. In fact,
that's the situation satan wants to see you in though he presents a rosy
picture of benefits debt will bring you in order to entice you to follow his
path. He often appears as an angel of light and not the evil anti-christ he
really is. Always be on guard against the enemy’s trickery and deceit. Remember,
a righteous man sees destruction on the path ahead, avoids it and is blessed,
but a fool walks right into destruction and is gravely injured!

28:12, 15, 44, Psalms 37:21, Proverbs 22:7, Romans 13:8

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
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!
