In four different areas the Bible teaches that what we do with our finances is a way of honoring first God, then our parents, those who minister to us, and those who lead and pastor us. Derek explains from Scripture, so we can see the importance of using our finances to show honor.
God gave specific instructions for the children of Israel to follow if they wanted His covenant blessings. The first requirement was to listen to the voice of the Lord and to obey. Derek takes a look at Deuteronomy 28, which lists the blessings of God that will come upon us if we will be diligent to listen and obey.
What is God’s prescription for prospering and being successful? Today we will be taking a look at Joshua and the instructions given to him: To meditate on God’s Word, confess it, and do what it says. Psalm 1 has similar instructions addressed to anyone who would seek God’s counsel. Meditate and do.
Derek begins this week by looking at God’s plan for our deliverance from the curses which are listed in Deuteronomy 28. Through the atoning substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus upon the cross, a divine exchange took place, whereby Jesus took all of the curses so that we could be released from the curse and enter into the blessings of Jesus.
At the end of His earthly ministry, Jesus gave instruction that we were to go and make disciples of all nations. He gave His authority and power to the Church to accomplish this task, and it has not been rescinded. Today we are reminded of this and exhorted to join in this work to reach the world.
In today’s message, Derek shares about a revelation he had from the Lord. Using Scripture the Lord presented a picture of Jesus on the cross and revealed how He became a curse for us. All grace was made to abound to us through this perfect work of Christ.
Today Derek looks at why curses come upon people: If we do not listen to God’s voice and do what He says. We can prevent these curses by listening and obeying. Using a number of verses in Deuteronomy 28, Derek brings out some of the results of curses.
Today Derek moves this study into the area of faith, the essential condition for receiving anything from God. The demonstration of our faith pleases God, and as we exercise faith in seeking Him, He will reward it. In the area of finances, we show our faith by following His Word and sowing first so that we may reap; but it must be done in faith.
Today Derek looks at our attitude toward finances. God knows what a person’s motives are concerning abundance, and He knows how to deal with our motives. We are encouraged to examine ourselves so that our motives are pure and our trust and security come exclusively from the Lord and not in riches.
In this final study on God’s abundance, Derek reminds us that we are merely stewards of the finances God has given us. We must be wise in our use of all that we have by investing in people—the souls God cares about and for whom Jesus gave His life. As we lay up our treasures in heaven, we are preparing a welcome for ourselves when the time comes that we enter into that glorious kingdom.
