Texts: Matthew 22:29
Whether we are aware of it or not, money plays an important part in today's world.
As long as you have not departed from this world yet you will have to handle money and have views about money and financial prosperity.
Why financial prosperity?
a) Your financial prosperity matters because 80% of human challenges are financial related.
b) Your financial prosperity matters because over 80% of divorces are financial related.
c) You need finances to live a dignified life and pay your bills. Even our Lord showed us we have to pay the bills when they come. Matthew 17:24-27
d) Parents have a responsibility to provide for their households. Money is needed for that.
1 Timothy 5:8
e) The prosperity message was part of Jesus's gospel to the poor. Isaiah 61:1
f) Money is needed by church assemblies, missionaries and ministers to advance the gospel. Zechariah 1:17
g) Money is a need in today's world and is the reason people go to work. If you don't want it, then why work hard for it? It shows money matters. Philippians 4:19
We repel or attract money into our lives depending on the state of our minds. Proverbs 23:7
So this message is being shared to correct wrong views in our conscious and subconscious mind about prosperity that's financial. Joshua 1:8
If we see money as a spiritual hindrance it will move away from us.
Wrong views about money-
1) Money Is The Root Of All Evil- 1 Timothy 6:10
2) Money can take us to hell- Luke 16:19-31
3) Money making is greed- Proverbs 28:6, Exodus 20:17, Proverbs 11:28, Proverbs 22:1
4) Having money causes pride- Acts 20:33
5) Poverty is Jesus's instruction- Blessed are the poor in spirit. Matthew 5:3- Some people interpret this scripture to mean it's only those who are poor that will make the kingdom of heaven.
These views are largely the result of an ignorance of God's Word.
