This was a Bible seminar that was organized by Pastor Tom Amanya (Host) at Truth Assembly Church to saints of the Bible principle about financial freedom and how to please God with your wealth on earth. Below are some of the principles that were shared, which can also help you in your journey of salvation and also strengthen your relationship with Christ Jesus.
Man's Ways | God's Way |
---|---|
None of God’s Business | Pivotal to your spiritual life |
Luke 16:11 And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven? Luke 12:34 Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Rev 3:17-18 "You say, 'I am rich, with everything I want; I don't need a thing!' And you don't realize that spiritually you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked." | |
Put your hope in MONEY | Put your HOPE in GOD |
1 Tim 6:17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God. Rev 3:17-18 (Jesus said) "You say, 'I am rich, with everything I want; I don't need a thing!' And you don't realize that spiritually you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked . . . Purchase from Me white garments, clean & pure, so you won't be naked and ashamed." | |
GIVE sporadically | Give FAITHFULLY |
Hag 1:5-12 "Give careful thought to your ways...You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?" declares the LORD Almighty. "Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with his own house." Mal 3:10 The Lord says: "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse...if you do, I will open up the windows of heaven for you and pour out a blessing... "Try it! Let me prove it to you!" | |
Live for TODAY | Give for ETERNITY |
Luke 12:16-21 A rich man's...barns were full to overflowing... He thought about his problem, and finally exclaimed, 'I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones! Then I'll have room enough'...But God said to him, 'Fool! Tonight you die. Then who will get it all?' "This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God. | |
God doesn’t KNOW or CARE about my giving | God SEES the giving that I do |
Luke 21:1-4NLT While Jesus was in the Temple, he watched the rich people putting their gifts into the collection box. Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two pennies. "I assure you," he said, "this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them. For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has." Ezra 2:68-69NLT Some of the family leaders gave generously toward the rebuilding of God's Temple…and each leader gave as much as he could. The total of their gifts came to 61,000 gold coins, 6250 pounds of silver… 2 Cor 9:3 They gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. |
