This community is rooted in Christ, “Our Firm Foundation.” In that we are called to steward our blessings. I, along with my Brother in Christ @Maxwell Baker have been blessed with this knowledge on Finance and Business buildup that we would love to raise you all in. (While staying true to the One who gave us this Wisdom *Thank you Jesus*) In a world telling us to “chase the hustle”, Scripture reminds us that money is just a TOOL. Let’s get right into the 5. 1. Worldly Wealth is Never the Goal: Look at men of faith like Abraham. They worked hard, but their trust was never in their bank accounts. God was always their source, not their ambition. They pursued purpose first, and provision followed. "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." (Matthew 6:33) 2. Character Precedes Blessing: Sometimes God doesn't give us more because money can destroy what our character hasn't built yet. If we can't manage the little things well, bigger blessings will just become bigger problems. "Whoever is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much." (Luke 16:10) 3. Transformation Over Riches: God cares more about saving your soul than growing your bank accounts. The seasons that build your faith rarely look like financial wins. It’s usually in the struggle where our faith grows the most. Not our pockets. "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?" (Mark 8:36) 4. True Faith Breeds Generosity: When Zacchaeus repented, his immediate response was to give. Real transformation always changes how we handle money."Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor..." (Luke 19:8) Lastly, 5. Money Matters, But It Can't Be Master: The Bible talks about finances frequently because it affects our daily lives. However, it was never meant to be our purpose. Every person who truly followed God kept the Kingdom first. "You cannot serve both God and money." (Matthew 6:24)
