Manage your finances

          Everything we have are all God's possession and  as we think that we are the owners, "WE ARE NOT". God owns everything and He just entrust it to us to take care, to nurture, to develop and to let it produce so that it could flourish just as the Father in heaven wanted it to happen.

          As we acknowledge that everything on Earth belongs to Him, correspondingly we also have the responsibility and accountability on how to make use of it, how to spend it wisely, and how to multiply it bountifully.

          Our loved ones such as families, spouses, children, friends, co-workers, anybody in the community, properties and other possessions are all God's gift to us thereby making us a blessing to each other.

          Money  according to what we always hear is "the root of all evil".  It is not how it goes as we always have pronounce it in our own way. The correct notion is that " The LOVE OF MONEY is the ROOT OF ALL EVIL".

         Therefore, to have so much money and to own God's possession is a vindication to God.  In everything we have, we must acknowledge that it's His ownership and not ours.

          Our greatest resources are spiritual, not material.  They come from another world, not this one.  As the book "managing God's money" says that Paul captured this principle in Philippians 4:11-12, it states that  "Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have.  I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything.  I have learned the secret of living in situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little".  And a proverb make a similar point, it goes this way " Give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.  For if I grow rich, I may deny you and say, "Who is the LORD?" And if I am poor, I may steal and thus insult God's holy name" (Proverbs 30:8-9).

           "Riches can't help us on the judgement day but right living can save us from death". Let us account everything what God has entrusted to us and  return to Him what is due for Him. 

           Learn to be content with what you have because if you hurriedly wanted to become rich, it will make your life in dismay.   Take things lightly, simply and moderately until you reach your final end, your success, your destination in life.  Things happen just as it takes to be as long as you always seek first God's kingdom and all the rest shall follow.
