How to Build Wealth God's Way
Make God Your Partner
Malachi 3.7-12
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Today we're beginning a new series of messages from God's word on the subject: How to Build Wealth God's Way. Now, this is not going to be your usual series on building wealth. These messages are not based on "name it and claim it," or on "name it and charge it," but rather "name it and change it."
Have you ever stopped to consider the things we spend our money on that end up preventing us from building wealth? I call them "wealth robbers" and over the next several weeks from God's word, we're going to discover what those nasty thieves are and how to eliminate them from our lives, so that we can get on the path of building wealth.
Now before we get very far into this series let me offer a word of caution that's found in the scripture. We read in God's book of wisdom, Proverbs 23.4-5, "Don't wear yourself out to get rich; because you know better, stop! As soon as your eyes fly to it, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky."
Here's another one in Proverbs 11.28, "Anyone trusting in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like foliage." Here's one more in Proverbs 15.27, "The one who profits dishonestly troubles his household, but the one who hates bribes will live."
When it comes to building wealth, God gives us caution after caution, yet commends us to be good stewards. A good steward must be cautious, committed and consistent. And we're going to see what being cautious, committed and consistent looks like over the next several weeks.
You may be asking, "Why would God care about me building wealth if he's promised to take care of me and meet my needs?" That's a great question. God does care for us and meets our needs, but building wealth isn't for storing up treasures on earth, but to first: care for our families. The bible tells us in 1 Timothy 5.8, "But if anyone does not provide for his own ...
