Truth to Guide Our Finances

Christians can go to prison-because of financial matters (theft). They can divorce over financial matters, and can even keep themselves out of the will of God, due to their heart and actions in financial matters.

The wealthiest twenty-five pastors in America are prosperity preachers.

 

In This Episode, We Look At:

We memorize Scripture to help keep us from sinning (Psalm 119:11) and we use Scripture in spiritual battle (Ephesians 6). Jesus quoted Scripture in response to Satan's temptations.

Our enemy uses money issues in the arsenal of attacks toward us, and we need the Truth to guide us (he cannot stand against the Truth).

This week we are providing a list (abbreviated) of scriptures you can work on memorizing, to help in varying areas of money.

Understanding True Ownership

The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. Psalm 24:1

Guarding our hearts regarding money

"…if riches increase, set not your heart upon them." Psalm 62:10

"A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps." Proverbs 16:9

Earning money

"In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground." Genesis 3:19

"The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat." Proverbs 13:4

"For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy thou shalt be, and it shall be well with thee." Psalm 128:2

"For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any work not, neither should he eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10

Tithing

"Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine." Proverbs 3:9-10

"And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place where he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of the corn, of the wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks, that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always." Deuteronomy 14:23

Saving

"There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up." Proverbs 21:20

"Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and be wise: which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest." Proverbs 6:6-8

Being wise with money

"Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds." Proverbs 27:23

"Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful." 1 Corinthians 4:2

Sharing

"Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee." Proverbs 3:27

God's truths are greater than riches

"I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches." Psalm 119:14

 

Improve Your Faith and Finances:

Work on memorizing one passage at a time, "hiding" God's word in your heart. It helps to walk, or pace, while you say the verse(s) out loud; your brain more effectively stores that memory when your body is in action.
