My learnings on building financial foundations on the Word of God.
Everything in Common
Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. - Acts 4:32 ESV
Enjoy Prosperity
Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. Remember that nothing is certain in this life. - Ecclesiastes 7:14 NLT
Work Heartily
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. - Colossians 3:23-24 ESV
It’s All His
Yahweh our God, all this wealth that we’ve provided for building You a house for Your holy name comes from Your hand; everything belongs to You. 1 Chronicles 29:16 HCSB
Ruler of Everything
Riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler of everything. Power and might are in Your hand, and it is in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all. - 1 Chronicles 29:12 HCSB
Poverty Nor Wealth
O God, I beg two favors from you; let me have them before I die. First, help me never to tell a lie. Second, give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs. - Proverbs 30:7-8 NLT
Establish our Work
Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish for us the work of our hands—establish the work of our hands! - Psalm 90:17 HCSB
Free of Charge
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with skin diseases, drive out demons. You have received free of charge; give free of charge. Don’t take along gold, silver, or copper for your money-belts.
Matthew 10:8-9 HCSB
Help Believers
But before I come, I must go to Jerusalem to take a gift to the believers there. For you see, the believers in Macedonia and Achaia have eagerly taken up an offering for the poor among the believers in Jerusalem. - Romans 15:25-29 NLT
Don’t Abandon Him
They abandoned the Lord to serve Baal and the images of Ashtoreth. This made the Lord burn with anger against Israel, so he handed them over to raiders who stole their possessions. He turned them over to their enemies all around, and they were no longer able to resist them. Judges 2:13-14 NLT
Attention Getter
When you hoped for a twenty-bushel crop, you harvested only ten. When you expected to draw fifty gallons from the winepress, you found only twenty. I sent blight and mildew and hail to destroy everything you worked so hard to produce. Even so, you refused to return to me, says the Lord. - Haggai 2:16-17 NLT
Serve the Lord
I gave you a land on which you had not labored and cities that you had not built, and you dwell in them. You eat the fruit of vineyards and olive orchards that you did not plant.’ - Joshua 24:13 ESV
Priorities
“You expected much, but then it amounted to little. When you brought the harvest to your house, I ruined it. Why? ” This is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts. “Because My house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house. - Haggai 1:9 HCSB
