You cannot lead people where you have never been. You cannot impart what you do not possess. You cannot preach with power what you are not practicing with integrity.

You know you are a practicing materialist if there is a certain amount of money you think you must accumulate, or something you believe you must buy, before you can be happy.

The world has a “go-getter” mind-set. The Christian has a “go-giver” mind-set. The world says, “Give to get.” The Christian says, “Give to get to give.” The Christian always stops with giving.

It is common for Christians to foolishly mismanage their money and then blame God for not blessing them financially.

What does God have to say about the impact of all this debt on His people? He tells us in Proverbs 22:7b” “The borrower becomes the lender’s slave.” Debt makes you a slave to your lender. In the Old Testament world if you couldn’t pay your debt on time you became the slave of the lender until you worked off your obligations. In our day, if you borrow money you become the lender’s slave by giving much or most of your income back to the lender.

When…people begin to give generously, they will enter into intense spiritual warfare. Satan knows how life transforming it is for believers to give obediently. He also know how God uses the financial resources we give to further His work on Earth. So, using fear and covetousness, our adversary fights ferociously to cripple our giving. That is why, in the context of spiritual warfare and the armor of God, we are commanded to pray for each other (Eph. 6:18).
