MoneyWalk 189 Who Truly Has The Most?
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Looking through natural eyes men have always branded as “rich” the people with the most money and high-cost material resources while at the same time believing those to be “poor” who currently have little money and low-cost possessions. We many times think of multi-millionaires and billionaires as the haves and seek to be like them because we want to experience having the most just like they do. In addition, we tend to think they must automatically be acceptable in God’s eyes and pleasing to Him because they would not have otherwise amassed worldly riches and the culture of worldly academics, business acumen, good speech, engaging public character, and lifestyles of the rich and famous connected to it.
On the other hand, we sometimes believe the middle class, mom’s living on welfare, and low-income families are the have-nots who might not be acceptable to God because they have not displayed the vision, plan, actions, and networks to amass worldly riches and many times seem to barely get by. We avoid many of them because they lack a desire for finery, have slang-ridden speech, and their character is not trying to engage us in a next big endeavor. At the very least, let’s be honest about the fact that we tend to show greater respect for and cater to people who appear rich based on what we can see in the natural. They are our ideal of self-made, successful people who have it all. We think if we can only be in their presence, we can at some point have the same kind of wonderful life and worth we believe they have.
Stop looking with your natural eyes and begin to see with your spiritual eyes. Jesus said the abundance of life does not consist of the things one possesses (including money) and it profits a man nothing to gain the world then lose his soul. While God may bless you and reward you on earth or allow you to be blessed, your worth is not based on how much money or fine things you have accumulated.
Your worth is solely and wholly based on having a relationship with Jesus Christ in accordance with the bible. This is the only relationship that saves you from the wages of sin, which is eternal damnation. It ensures that you are the most (in Christ) and have access to the most eternally and on earth, as needed for the purpose and plan that He created you to pursue. As a believer, the Holy Spirit leads you in a way and often by a principled process of lifestyle including money management that helps you be of service to many other people in your community and around the world. Budgeting including tithing and giving abundant offerings, saving for emergencies, eliminating debt, refusing co-signing, investing, and diversifying assets help you manage money and resources He entrusts to you so you can do all He wants you to do in this life. Only faith in Christ ensures you truly have the most of what really matters.

The book at the link below provides principles and practical steps that help you use the Power To Get Wealth. By 1992, we had $135,000 of debt and a negative $35,000 net worth. Financial bondage and turmoil led me to seek principles and a process for employing good stewardship. As a result, we became constructively debt-free in 1998, mortgage free January 2004, millionaires in 2012, multi-millionaires shortly thereafter, and retired in 2018 in my mid-fifties from public servant jobs while giving abundantly to fund the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ. The same power is available to you!
