How to Build Wealth God's Way
Build a Strong Marriage
1 Kings 21; Acts 5
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
We're learning these days from the word of God how to build wealth God's way. You may have never considered the Bible God's manual for building wealth, but it is. The Bible is a book of principles, and we're discovering these days God's principles for wealth building.
Now I can hear someone saying, "But Ernest, building wealth sounds so unspiritual? After all, we're saved children of God. Building wealth sounds extremely worldly and not spiritual."

God tells us that He is in the rebuking business when it comes to those things that rob us from building wealth. He always holds up His end of the bargain as our partner. But while God is rebuking our wealth devourers, we're opening the windows and doors of our lives, allowing them in! While He's rebuking them, we're waving them in and saying, "Come on in! Make yourself at home!"
Don't be fooled; they are not coming into our lives as friends but as foes. They are wealth devourers whose appetites are only satisfied by your hard-earned money. And the sad thing is, the only way the ...
