Navigating the Realm of Money as a Child of God

 Navigating the Realm of Money as a Child of God

===============================================


The Ministry of Reconciliation

------------------------------


As children of God, we all have a shared ministry of reconciliation. This means that our lives should be a testament to God's grace and mercy, guiding others towards the kingdom of God. The five-fold ministers of the gospel - apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers - have the primary responsibility of ensuring the growth and spiritual maturity of the church. However, the ministry of reconciliation is not limited to these leaders; it is the duty of every child of God.




The Cost of the Gospel

----------------------


Fulfilling the gospel mandate requires financial resources. In 1 Corinthians 9:7, the Bible states that a soldier does not go to war at his own expense. Similarly, as soldiers in the kingdom of God, we do not bear the full cost of the work we are called to do. The Lord Himself is committed to providing the necessary resources to accomplish the tasks He has set before us.


The gospel is an expensive endeavor, but the child of God should not view it as a personal burden. Instead, we should recognize that the Lord is responsible for ensuring the availability of the resources needed to fulfill His work. This perspective frees us from the anxiety of financial constraints and allows us to focus on the mission at hand.


The Advantage of the Child of God

---------------------------------


The child of God has a distinct advantage in navigating the financial realm. This advantage stems from the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit and the intimate connection between our spirit and the Spirit of God. Through this spiritual union, we are able to discern and act upon inner promptings that transcend natural understanding.


The author shares an anecdote about his ability to acquire additional cars, not through any secret formula, but through a spiritual awareness that goes beyond the limitations of the natural mind. This spiritual perception allows the child of God to see opportunities and make decisions that may not be immediately evident to those operating solely in the natural realm.


The Danger of Impoverishment

----------------------------


The Bible teaches that the impoverishment of God's people is not due to divine punishment, but rather a lack of knowledge. When Christians find themselves in a state of financial destitution, it is often because they have not fully grasped the truth that God desires to provide for their needs. This lack of understanding can lead them to engage in unwise or even unethical practices in an attempt to meet their financial needs.


The child of God must recognize that God is not a father who withholds provision from His children. Instead, He desires to equip us with the knowledge and spiritual awareness to navigate the financial realm in a manner that glorifies Him and advances His kingdom.


Cultivating Spiritual Awareness

-------------------------------


The key to unlocking the financial advantage of the child of God lies in the cultivation of spiritual awareness and intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Through constant communion, fellowship, and oneness with the Spirit of God, we can develop the ability to discern divine promptings and tap into the resources made available to us as kingdom citizens.


This spiritual awareness is not something that can be easily explained or quantified, but it is a reality that the child of God can experience. By surrendering to the leading of the Holy Spirit and trusting in God's provision, we can navigate the financial landscape with confidence and clarity, ultimately fulfilling the ministry of reconciliation to which we have been called.


Conclusion

----------


As children of God, we are not meant to struggle with financial constraints or be limited by the natural understanding of the world. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and the spiritual advantage granted to us, we can confidently navigate the realm of money and resources, using them to advance the gospel and bring people into the kingdom of God.

By embracing our ministry of reconciliation and trusting in God's provision, we can experience the freedom and abundance that comes from walking in spiritual awareness and alignment with the will of the Father. Let us, therefore, boldly step forward, knowing that the Lord Himself is committed to supplying all that we need to fulfill the work He has entrusted to us.

The Power of God

 Some of us are well qualified to speak about the power of God. Mainly because we have been in God's field and helped many that were bound, we set them free using the power of God that is invested in the Name of Jesus. I have personally led many crusades, and in those crusades the Lord showed forth His power tremendously. Never let these man-made viruses and reports mislead you, the Lord still heals people today. He will always heal His people because God is Love. I still remember the testimony of a young girl who had sores all over her head for a very long time and couldn't grow any hair. Her parents were good friends with my friends, and so it happened that when I went to visit my friends, we ended up visiting her family. When we arrived, the little girl came to greet me. I say her condition immediately, and her dad told me what was going on. I prayed for the girl right there, using the authority of the Name of Jesus. Some days later her dad told me that the sores on her head

God With Us

So many times, as children of God, we tend to lose consciousness of His Presence with us. As a result, we find ourselves overwhelmed and defeated by the circumstances of life. I want to remind you that your faith is what overcomes the world. If you do not apply your faith you may not stand a chance against the storms of life. These storms come to everybody, no exceptions. But whenever the winds beat upon you they must find you founded upon The Rock of Ages. I want to share with you a testimony that will help you remember your roots in Christ. It is a tale like no other, and comes from the depths of my heart, and the contents of this tale are true. Some 3 years ago I was in one of those positions where the circumstances of life caved in on me. As a man of Goind, I could in no wise yield that easy for I am loaded with the knowledge of the principles of the Kingdom of God. I had been battling for an entire year with these circumstances, and at that point I was nearing defeat. So I took on

Know Him, and then Serve Him

Often times we find saints rushing into the ministry, maybe because they got a prophecy that they were called into ministry or because they received some vision. Then they go out and pitch their tent and start a church!   But that is not the way of the Lord. Growth in God happens progressively. That is why we run the race with patience. David talked to his son, Solomon and said: _ “ And  thou,  Solomon my  son, know thou the God of thy  father,  and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind”1 Chronicles28:9. _   We need to know God first and then serve him.  How  can you serve a God that you don’t know? How   can you guarantee that your attitude and motive in that service is pure? The Lord Jesus knew that  He  was called from a very young age. He  knew  He  was born the Savior of the world yet  He  didn’t begin his ministry until the age of thirty. What was  He  doing all those years?  He  was learning to walk with God practically. And when the appoint
