Money Represents Your Life

-->

MONEY IN YOUR LIFE

Your can improve your worth by working hard or should I say working smart. You can improve your worth by taking up a course or studies.  You can improve your pay-slip by improving your skills!  You can get more money by the more you think! Some people get more money when they think.  For some if you increase your energy you get more money. That is why some people will say you have wasted their sweat! Your energy has financial value!

Are we together? Money represents your life!

YOUR HEART FIRST

That is why people will put others in to police cells because and say, “That is my money! That was my sweat, that is my energy that he has wasted!”  There is a strong attachment between your money and your heart! That is why for some people it is very difficult to give their money – because there is a strong attachment between your money and your heart. You can’t give your money unless you give your heart first! Your heart must be given first before you can give your money.

Show me where you spend your money and I will show you your destiny.  You cannot give your money to me without giving your heart first.

Those who have given their life to God have no problem giving their money to God! They have given Him His life.  When I release my life to God then

2 Cor 8: 1-5

8:1* ¶ Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia:

 2* that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their liberality.

 3* For I bear witness that according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing,

 4* imploring us with much urgency that we would receive the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

 5* And not only as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God.

Out of their poverty, out of their trials they were giving. They gave as much as they were able and more than they were able. They gave out of their willing heart. They gave willingly – no one forced them.  Meaning that they were able to borrow so that they could give for the course of the Gospel.

There was no manipulation! There was no deceit they did that because they love the ministering for he Gospel.

These Macedonians were beseeching these people and they pleading with Paul! They were persuading the apostle to receive their gifts. They were pleading with Paul to receive their blessings!

Give your heart first
