![]() The Spirit-filled Christian enjoys life more than anyone else. In fact, Jesus promised an abundant life to all who trust and obey Him. This is not to say we shouldn't enjoy life. When it comes to material possessions, we seem quite capable of not only convincing ourselves that we need them, but that we also deserve them. Perhaps in no other area of our lives are we more guilty of rationalizing. I believe that materialism is the greatest hindrance to the worldwide propagation of the gospel today. They burden themselves with the material concerns of life and make little or no commitment to God's work. Not understanding or obeying scriptural principles of stewardship, they succumb to the world's philosophy of money. If this is God's plan, why do many Christians live in financial bondage? The reasons are basic. God wants you to be financially free so you can put Him first in your life and be sensitive to His voice, ready to follow Him whenever - and wherever - He leads. Financial freedom, however, is for every Christian steward who faithfully follows God's plan for giving, saving and spending.įinancial freedom means having enough to provide adequately for your household and to give generously and joyfully to God's work. What a wonderful prospect! Although God has blessed many of His children with wealth, most of us can only dream about financial independence. Perhaps you have seen enticing advertisements in you newspaper or on television promising you financial independence. ![]()
