Many people, born again Christians especially, are taught and teach that wealth corrupts the pure pious soul. Money leads you into temptation and causes you sin. It takes over your life and you ultimately are lost. It is better to avoid great wealth. It is a sin to want a better life than the life to which you were born. Money only brings a horrible and eternal death. Money will master you and lead you into eternal damnation.<\/p>\n

This mindset is the exact opposite of the truth<\/a> found in God’s Holy Word. It is in opposition to the success principles promised to us in God’s Word. It just does not seem to be logical that God would create this wonderful world and fill it with all of its wealth and beauty as a means to lead men<\/a> astray or to tempt and corrupt them. The truth is that He created all of the wealth in the world FOR His magnificent and favorite creation – mankind. This understanding is essential to the success principles that you need to learn.<\/p>\n

Slavery to money is a real issue. However, the actual cause of this slavery comes from the ‘lack’ of money and not from an abundance of it. It is a fact, and I’m sure that you’ve noticed, that the majority of people who do not have money are heavily in debt, work grueling hours for a pittance that doesn’t cover the bills, and are constantly worried about where they’re going to get the money for this or that bill. Unfortunately this situation puts people into a position where they are willing to do almost anything to get the money they need just to survive. The true slaves to money are those who have to constantly rack and scrape enough of it to live (get by) in this world.<\/p>\n

We can say that money is a mirror and that one of the major attributes of money is that it simply reflects the real character of a persons. When you study success principles (Solomon’s are, in my opinion the best) you need to consider the truth about<\/a> financial slavery. If you are greedy, money simply reveals your greed. If you are dishonest, money amplifies this character trait. If you are prone to a poor mindset, you can’t control money. If you are foolish (the Biblical meaning of ‘without God’), you’re soon parted from it. Solomon tells us in Proverbs 21:20 (The Amplified Bible) “There are precious treasures and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a self-confident and foolish man swallows it up and wastes it.”<\/p>\n

If you look you will see that there are thousands of poor Christians who religiously go to Church every time that the doors are opened. Have you noticed how many born again believers are sick, poor, discouraged, plagued with debt and worry. It amazes me to see Christians falling for the old teaching that they must be poor to be humble. This image of a believer was established after the death of the last disciple who walked with Jesus Christ while He walked on earth. This was a teaching geared at keeping the populace poor and under the control of the church hierarchy.<\/p>\n

There are many who are surely slaves to money (to not having it). They are always seeking just enough to get by. I hear Christians praying for a financial blessing. Imagine God looking from Heaven, shaking His head and saying, “Read your Holy Bible! I created all that exists in this physical world for you. I have given you directions in My Holy Scripture for you to prosper.” All of God’s success principles are there.<\/p>\n

If not today when will it be time for believers to start believing? The thought that money leads to evil is a cop-out. The ‘DESIRE’ for money is the root of evil. When the desire for material possessions exceeds and precedes the desire for the presence of God, evil intentions come to pass. It is time to break the bondage of financial slavery. You need to banish the curse of poverty from your life. You can do this and not succumb to the temptations of this lust-filled world. If you will simply change that poverty mindset, you can attain every success that God the Father has ordained for you.<\/p>\n

If you can read and think and you are teachable, you can remove the chains of poverty. Do you want to break the bonds of financial slavery? Do you want to live a successful and stress free lifestyle? It’s a proven fact that there will always be trials and tribulations. Your finances do not have to be one of them.<\/p>\n

Jesus, in the New Testament, told us that men would hate us because of Him. He affirmed the fact that we would suffer trials and tribulations. These trials and tribulations are the methods by which our metal is tested. These ‘tests’ are character builders. The Bible tells us that Christ, on the Cross, defeated Satan. Why do you insist on letting him defeat you? Why do you insist on letting a world, over which you have been given dominion, keep you defeated? You must dominate your world through the indwelling Holy Spirit of the One True Living God.<\/p>\n

All human being are children of the King of King. You are an heir to the Kingdom of Heaven and co-heir with Jesus Christ. Why do you live like a pauper under the slavery of money?<\/p>\n

Would you like to know how to break free? Would you like to live free? Would you like to provide for your family even more than they could imagine? Study the manual that gives you every solution to every problem that you face in life. Become a diligent student of Solomon’s Success Principles, The Book of Proverbs.<\/p>\n
