Episode Synopsis


Key Verses:1 John 2:15 TPT “Don’t set the affections of your heart on this world or in loving the things of the world. The love of the Father and the love of the world are incompatible.1 Timothy 6:10 TPTLoving money is a root of all evils. Some people run after it so much that they have given up their faith. Craving more money pushes them away from the faith into error, compounding misery in their lives!Luke 16:13 TPT “It is impossible for a person to serve two masters at the same time. You will be forced to love one and reject the other. One master will be despised and the other will have your loyal devotion. It is no different with God and the wealth of this world. You must enthusiastically love one and definitively reject the other.”Key Thought:There is a war being waged for the affection of the human heart. The enemy of God wants your heart to be turned toward anything and everything else that is not from God. The Bible is teaching us that the battleground of this war for the human heart, is in fact, being fought on the field of your financial world! We know...MONEY MATTERS to God, because He addresses it more than any other topic in the bible; 215 biblical references to faith, 218 biblical references to salvation, 300 references to love and over 2000 references to managing your financial world! MONEY MATTERS to God, because YOU matter to God!The good news is that because God loves us, he has shown us how we can manage our financial world to see victory, blessing and favour in this area of our life. Over the course of the next few weeks, we are going to unpack the following 4 biblical principles, that when applied, align our heart with the heart of God.1. TITHETithing is simply returning the FIRST 10% of all your financial increase to God through the local church. Tithing says God comes FIRST in my financial world. Tithing says I TRUST God with my financial world. Tithing says I will make room for MIRACLES in my financial world.2. LIVE A GENEROUS LIFETithing is all about your response to God’s invitation to trust him (personal). Generosity is all about our capacity for intentional investment, over and above tithing, into vision that builds the Kingdom of God.Proverbs 11:24 MSG “The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy getssmaller and smaller.”When we make room for giving generously over and above our tithe, that is when we see the kingdom of God moving forward and the church active and effective in our communities.3. LEAVE A LEGACYThis is about setting your family up for financial favour that CHASES them down through thegenerations.Proverbs 13:21-22 TPT “Calamity chases the sin-chaser, but prosperity pursues the God-lover. Thebenevolent man leaves an inheritance that endures to his children’s children4. SPEND WISELYA budget casts vision for your future. A budget looks toward the horizon and counts the cost of reaching your dreams.
