Sermon Notes:
Two Economies:
You get paid for 2 things—what you know and what you do. Find your gift, invest in your gift. God Expects us to succeed in both—You can love God and die broke 2 Kings 4:1 The widow had nothing.
Keys to Success in World’s Economy:
* Hard Work
* Knowledge
* Visions and Plans
Natural + Supernatural = Biblically Blessed
3 Lands:
* Just enough—Egypt—all human effort
* The Wilderness—Just Enough—all supernatural—quail and manna
* More than Enough—The Promised Land—a land of sowing and reaping—human effort combined with the supernatural.
Living in the Land of More Than Enough:
* Keep God and money in the right place.
* Work with a spirit of excellence.
* Be generous.
* Be a cheerful giver.
* Be a strategic giver.
* Recognize seasons.
* Dream Bigger.
* It is OK to fail.
* Live with an abundance mindset.
5 Precepts for Financial Freedom:
1. Keep Good Records
- Know what you are stewarding. Proverbs 24-3-4—Profit comes when we stay abreast of the facts.
2. Tithe and Give
- Proverbs 3:9-10. Keep seed in the ground. Sow little, reap little
3. Save for the Future
- Prov 6:6-8. Saving is a Biblical principle. Pay God, Pay yourself, Pay who you owe
4. Develop a Spending Plan
- Proverbs 16:3-9—a plan (supernatural part) + hard work (natural part) = success Luke 14:23. Do you have a 5 year spending plan?
5. Enjoy What You Have
- Prosper where you are planted. Hebrews 13:5-6 “Quit waiting until you can make a big dent. Start making small dents now.” Dino Rizzo Proverbs 13:11 “little by little makes it grow”.
