1. God Owns Everything—We Are Just Stewards
Psalm 24:1 – “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”
God owns it all—your money, house, gifts, even your ideas.
You’re not the owner. You’re the steward.
Action Steps:
- Shift from ownership to stewardship
- Ask God how to manage what He’s entrusted to you
- Use wealth to glorify God, not just yourself
Quote:
“When we see money as God’s, we handle it differently—with purpose, peace, and power.”
2. Diligence and Hard Work Bring Prosperity
Proverbs 10:4 – “Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.”
Financial laziness is mental, physical, and spiritual.
Avoid laziness in planning, learning, and building wealth.
Example: Oprah Winfrey built a global empire through diligence—not luck.
Biblical Application: Psalms 1:3 – “Whatever he does prospers.”
Faith + Action = Prosperity
Action Steps:
- Show up early. Learn. Network. Execute.
- Serve God in your work, not just in church.
- Work is worship when done with purpose.
3. Avoid Debt and Live Within Your Means
Proverbs 22:7 – “The borrower is slave to the lender.”
Debt leads to anxiety, stress, and missed opportunities.
God’s people are called to financial freedom.
Real-World Example:
Chris Hogan teaches the power of debt-free living in Everyday Millionaires. These everyday millionaires became wealthy by saving. They also budget carefully and avoid debt.
Action Steps:
- Budget with a plan, not emotion
- Buy only what you can afford
- Practice the “banana principle”: Don’t chase what’s ripe today but rotten tomorrow.
4. Tithing and Generosity Invite God’s Blessing
Malachi 3:10 – “Bring the whole tithe… see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven.”
Generosity invites God into your finances.
Real-World Example:
Bill Gates’ philanthropy helped eradicate diseases and feed nations. He gave to bless, and the blessing multiplied.
Action Steps:
- Tithe as an act of faith
- Give beyond money—give time, wisdom, love
- Be a blessing to others
5. Invest and Multiply What God Gives You
Matthew 25:14–30 – Parable of the Talents
God expects you to grow what He gives you. Don’t bury your potential.
Real-World Examples:
- Warren Buffet invests long-term with wisdom and restraint
- Ray Dalio succeeds through planning, research, and principles
Action Steps:
- Start small—just start
- Learn to invest: stocks, skills, businesses
- Multiply resources for Kingdom impact
6. Practice Contentment—Avoid the Love of Money
1 Timothy 6:10 – “The love of money is the root of all evil.”
Wealth is a tool, not a goal.
Real-World Example:
Dave Ramsey lives and teaches contentment after rebounding from financial failure. He preaches peace over pressure.
Action Steps:
- Be content with what you have
- Avoid comparison and consumerism
- Focus on eternal rewards over earthly riches
