Praise the Lord! God is truly great friends! We had a wonderful Sunday worship with our invited friends.. Im glad that they liked the church where we went to.. (And Ledjie, Kevin, Kayla and Ma’am thank ya’ll so much for coming with us!) I really enoyed their company, she’s my new filipina friend here and she just came from the Philippines….I know God has a great purpose why we met.. And we had our worship together in Resurrection Life Church and after that we had our lunch together at RYAN’S Restaurant(thank You Lord for blessing us) and we went to their house, and we were able to visit also her mom in law’s house.. I am so blessed and so thankful that they went with us also at our INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP bible study..I thank God that He has given me another wonderful Sunday! He blessed me a lot and i really thank Him for sending MCBRIDE’S as my new friends! (Jhie, i know you will read this when you wake up dearest..hehehe).. and friends, i just want to share what i have learned today from God and He just used the preacher to remind us about learning to live debt free for life..
The problem:
*Most of us live from payday to payday and ask where did it go?
*We have no plan_ we just spend
*We use credit and credit cards
*We want to buy want we want but not want we need
The answer: The Bible is a blue print for living-"Leran to use it" KINDLY CLICK HERE… Friends, did you know the Bible talks about PRAYER-500 VERSES FAITH- LESS THAN 500 VERSES and MONEY- 2,350 VERSES?
How we handle money affects our fellowship with God- To get closer to the Lord, learn to apply His principles of money- Luke 16:11. Possessions compete with the Lord- Matthew 6:24.. Friends, turn to God for help not the world- Isaiah 55:8. Society says, God plays no role in handling money and my happiness is based on being able to afford my desired standard for living. The Bible says as you learn and follow the scriptural principles of how to handle money you will draw close to Christ and learn to be content in every circumstance.
God’s part "THE FOUNDATION"- I Chronicles 29:11-12
Ownwership or Lordship- Everything belongs to God- Psalam 24:1, lev 25:23; Haggai 2:8, Psalm 50:10, Colossians 1:17, Luke 14:33 and Genesis 22:2.
Learning to be content
CONTROL- The first step toward contentment-recognize God as owner of all your possessions. God is in control of everything- I Chronicles 29:11-12, Psalm 135:6, Daniel 4:34-35.
PROVISION- God promises to provide for our needs- Matthew 6:33, Genesis 22:14, Timothy 6:8 (OUR NEED FOR FOOD AND COVERING) Philippians 4:19, II Samuel 12:7-8.
Getting to know God Read God’s word, it is a road map for us to follow.. Heres an online bible,,huwag pong idahilan an wala po kayong bible dahil eto na po online Bible provided by Sis Melody.
Now friends, what does scripture say about debt? Romans 13:8, Proverbs 22:7, I Corinthians 7:23.. Jesus paid for our freedom, stay free from debt so you can serve Him.. Debt is considered a curse.. Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 12, 15, 43-44..
Now friends always remember that money, most common of temporal things, involves uncommon and eternal consequences.. Even though it maybe done wuite unconsciously, money molds people- in the process of getting it, saving it, of using it, of giving it, of accounting for it.. Depending upon how it is handled, it proves a blessing or a curse to its possessor, either the person becomes master of the money or the money becomes a master of the person….
God bless friends and keep coming back!
