Today's Inspiration:

8 - Prosperity begins with being
Eligible for True Riches

Luke chapter 16:
10 For unless you are honest in small matters, you won't be in large ones.
If you cheat even a little, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities.
11 And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven?
12 And if you are not faithful with other people's money, why should you be entrusted with money of your own?

Jesus warned us that if we haven't paid our debts, we disqualify ourselves from the true riches of heaven

The Apostle Paul puts it this way in Romans 13:
7 Pay everyone whatever he ought to have:
pay your taxes and import duties gladly, obey those over you, and give honor and respect to all those to whom it is due.
8 Pay all your debts except the debt of love for others-never finish paying that!
For if you love them, you will be obeying all of God's laws, fulfilling all his requirements.

Recently, someone wrote to us concerning our eCourse called CrushMisfortune

Dear Sol Wise,
Thanks for the eCourse EnoughPoverty.com.
It takes plenty repetition of that prayer for your eyes to be open to the cycle of poverty that we create in our lives.

I was doing some checking on my bank accounts this morning, when I realised how the recession can really be a form of discipline for all of us. When there is plenty, we do not realise how much we waste.

I have a credit card that I used 9 years ago to purchase an item and arranged for the minimum balance to be deducted from my salary monthly.

We are now in 2009 and I have faithfully paid that minimum balance of $250. It means I have paid the bank at least $22,600 in nine years. That is gross financial mismanagement. No wonder these institutions thrive. They thrive partly from people like me who are irresponsible financially, under a curse of poverty or foolish. All with the same outcome.

I've wised up now though and will get out of this debt speedily.
Thanks again,
CL

Prayer:
Father, thank You that when we obey Your Word, we can escape many pitfalls, and prosper. Forgive our foolish spending,
in Jesus' name,
Amen.





Next installment tomorrow, God willing!
See you then, and meanwhile,
Have a great day walking with Jesus,
Sol Wise.
