Wisdom to Change Use Money for His Glory For it is the Father who gives you the power to get wealth, so that He may establish His covenant Deuteronomy 8:18 Some have much money, some have little, some love to save it, some love to spend it, some run after it, for others money just comes to them, but in all cases we all need money. Money is used to take care of the things we need in life. Money pays for bills, gas, electricity, food, clothing, rent, mortgages and a few of our favorite things. They say money is the root of evil, but if you read the Word of God closely you’ll find, loving money is evil. We should love God and use money to show His love towards them. My sister and I were given a 20 million dollar challenge. We had to write a plan before we started spending, paying off items and people to bless financially. Before we got started, we prayed to see which direction to go in. Some may say, you mean to tell me with all that money you had to pray and ask God how He would have you give, spend and handle the money. Yes! You may not realize it but 20 million dollars can go very quickly. With this much money you can be tempted to spend, spend, spend and not realize you have overspent. In all things you should have a God plan in place concerning finances. As you know we made sure the Father received the tithes and offerings, first. Next we had a plan to pay off all outstanding debt. But before we would pay them off, we would call and request a discount in paying the balances off. We then asked God which direction He would have us go concerning family and friends. To our amazement when we shared with each other, He told us not to give to some because they do not know how to handle it. Wow, God knows what’s best for each one of them. We even asked God how we could be a blessing without them knowing it was us. As you know God gave a divine strategy on how to bless individuals without them knowing who it was. In any case, if you receive a very large or not so large amount, you should always have a plan on how you handle God’s money. That’s right it’s God’s money. Money has a purpose and that purpose is to reveal God’s heart towards His people. Start with the money you have and make sure you have a plan to fulfill His purpose. Question: Are you a faithful and wise steward over the finances God has entrusted you with? Have a Beautiful Day
