No matter how much money we have, even if it is a billion dollars, it will eventually run out. The main problem for many people is that they run out of money before their next paycheck. Proverbs 13:23 says, “A poor man’s field may produce abundant food, but injustice sweeps it away” (niv). This Scripture says there is plenty of food in the fields of the poor. If that is true, then why are some people poor? They are poor because their “food” is decreasing due to lack of order, management, and knowledge. They do not understand how money functions, and they do not know the laws of money. It is easy to learn these things, but the more information we have about money, the better we can control it.
FINANCIAL EQUILIBRIUM
1. When we use or put our seeds to work, it multiplies. By disuse, it depreciates and loses value. For example, when we refuse to use our muscles, we lose our strength. The same applies to finance. Use it that is, plant it or lose it. If we take piano lessons and then refuse to practice, we lose the obtained skills. The same is true with capital.
2. Storing money away without putting it to work will lose its original value over time.
3. Money will always leave the hand of those who don’t put it to use, and come to the hands those who will multiply it. For example, the man with one talent which he didn’t use and lost it to the man with ten talents.
4. The key to increase is always investment. A good steward keeps what he or she receives, then uses and increases it through investments.
5. Those who invest their “talent” are entrusted with more.
6. The reward for being trustworthy is more trust.
7. The steward who buries his sum loses what he has, and he will see it given to another.
8. Life is based on laws, and understanding the laws of money will bring greatness.
REASONS WHY EVERY CHRISTIAN CAN BE A BILLIONAIRE
1. God said we should be the head and not the tail, which means we should be first and not last. (Deuteronomy 28:13.)
2. All gold and silver belong to God. As heirs of God, we have a legal right to it, but it must be used for His glory. (Haggai 2:7-9.)
3. We are God’s highest creation, and we are commanded to possess and dominate the earth. Wealth plays an important role in fulfilling the command to dominate the earth. (Genesis 1:26-28.)
4. Our eyes make the difference. (Proverbs 20:12-13.)
5. Both the rich and the poor have this in common: “The Lord is the maker of them all” (Prov. 22:2). God is rich unto all His children, but He does not determine your financial status; your knowledge of wealth creation principles does.
6. Money is necessary to live in a material world. What oxygen is to the physical body, money is to the material world. (Ecclesiastes 10:19.)
7. We were commanded to be fruitful. Without money, our ability to bear kingdom fruit is minimal. (Luke 13:6-9; John 15:1-7.)
8. A Christian is a giver and abides in wealth. The blessing of the righteous exalts a city. (Proverbs 11:24-26; Luke 6:38.)
9. Christians are in a covenant with God, and this opens heaven to us. We have unlimited access to heaven’s resources because of our relationship with Jesus Christ. (Malachi 3:8-12.)
10. Christians have the power to gain wealth. We have access to God’s wisdom, favor, empowerment, and ability to create wealth. ( Deuteronomy 8:18.)
11. God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His people. This gives us heaven’s backing to be prosperous for His glory. (Psalm 35:27.)
THE LOVE OF MONEY It is not money itself but rather the love of money that is the root of all evil. When people love money, they are not free from it. People whose thirst for money drives them to that extreme commit a vast majority of the crimes committed in society. As strange as this is, it is not the people with credible wealth but people who do not have money who are usually the ones most affected by the spirit of mammon.
Failure is part of the process. A seed must first die before bringing forth fruit.
Thanks for reading..
Very interesting your article regarding money. With respect to what you mentioned at the end about the love of money. I do not believe that people love money itself as if we love a person and I do not believe that money itself is the one that causes evil. It is the human being in his free will that by circumstances of life, chose the wrong paths to get more money and is wrong. Money itself, in my way of thinking, is a tool that allows us to fulfill any wish and in some way make us "happy".
