What is the purpose?



"And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold,

it was very good"

Genesis 1:31a

Having lots of money may or may not be important to you, but learning how to handle it must be important. Everyone has their own opinion about it, and worry about money. The truth is that God does not want us to worry about money, but to be excellent managers.

God did not donate the land and the creatures to Adam, but two ordinances: Take Care and Cultivate.

By eliminating the obstacles to prosperity and teach how to do it, God established in Adam the attitude that which would result in abundance in the relationships along the things of this world, and principally about the people around you. You want more confirmation about this challenging attitude?

Some people do not know or do not believe, while others know but has not apply the financial principles of God in their lives. They are crucial, according to Howard Dayton, for three reasons:

• The way we deal with money affects our fellowship with the Lord.
• The possessions compete by the domain with the Lord of our life.
• The dimensions of your money personality are in daily activity, determining their livelihoods.

People now question themselves and seek aid and advice about finances, over this, I can say that there are three alternatives of wisdom or Inspirations: Divine, Human and Malign. The difference can be exemplified through of what you consider when facing a significant decision or about the your motivation in a new development:

• Malign: Do you consider your self-sufficiency.
• Human: Do you consider your children.
• Divine: Do you consider your children and grandchildren.

No children or grandchildren, and still considering them? This is a good example of faith.

Go beyond the blessings!
