Financial Health

Financially health, how do we know?

We believe that we are already rich because we always connect to the source of blessings, and that is our God.

We do not want to live a hard life without money. We want to be abundantly blessed so we can bless others. We believe that how to get rich should be taught in the church because if people get it somewhere else, it might not be aligned with God’s teachings.

God wants us to become rich, but only if you are already rich on the inside before you become rich on the outside. Otherwise, money may destroy you and your life.

Always keep in mind that God never designed money to buy happiness. “God designed money to increase helpfulness.” Do not make happiness your purpose in life. Instead, make your purpose serving others; helping others; caring for other. Once you start to live for others, you achieve true happiness. That is what being truly rich is all about.

Just listen to the Lord and follow His teachings. Money is not about you. It is about love. It is about service. It is about Him. Live for God and love Him now. Let the Lord fix you so that you can be truly rich for others.

Do what you need to do, and God will bring you to where you need to be. God promises that when we move, God will bring us to where we need to be. Remember that there can be no progress without deliberate action. Let the love of God change you. Let His grace flow into your life. Only his love can change you.

Do you want to have a healthy relationship with your money? Then you need to build regular communication about it as well.

A lot of people don’t like to think or talk about their money, read about their money. That’s why their money complains and files for divorce! Usually money just runs away with some other guy.

I strongly suggest, you think about your money. I’m not asking you to love mony. That will destroy you. But I’m asking you to have a healthy relationship with money. When you do, you’ll experience a financial break through in your life.

There’s a passage, Deuteronomy 29:9 “Therefore keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.” It tells us that we can prosper in our lives if we follow Good’s covenant. He doesn’t need a covenant, but He chose to have one with us. The whole Bible is all about the covenant that God initiated. “The Bible is all about love.” True prosperity is living a life of profound love. 

You have to have a strong immune system by following the three rules of the rich.

1. What you spend should be less than what you earn.
2. What you save should grow more than what you lose; and
3. What you earn should be equal to what you know.

Are you tired of always borrowing money or maybe being always at the receiving end? Do you want to make a shift from receiving to giving?
Then be financially healthy so that you can gain the wisdom to help others become financially healthy as well.

Let the Lord teach you today. Let the Lord teach you today. Let the Lord increase the love in your hearts. God wants to bless us because He knows our hearts. Remember, it is not about wealth. It is not about money. It’s all about love – love for God and love others.

Always do good with the money that God has given you. Because it’s not yours anyway. Every single centavo you have is all borrowed from above – temporarily. So use it for His purpose. Money can be used for selfish purposes. But money can be very holy. For example, the “tithes” you give is used to bring many closer to God. I’m going to challenge you. Get ready for God to cause a powerful release in your financial life. Get ready, for God for financial freedom. Get ready to blow away the financial ceiling that’s held you down.
