(1Ch 29:12) Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.

  11. (Joh 3:27) …A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. (Jas 1:17) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights… (Deu 8:18) But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth…

  13. (Col 3:5) Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: (Php 4:11-12) Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

  16. Materialism vs. Mission • Marriage • Children • Job • Possessions • Gifts and talent • Money

  17. Investing Money Biblical Luke16:1-11

  18. We have trouble in making proper investments because of the confusion concerning the basic fundamental principles of the Christian Stewardship

  19. Principle #1 Owning or Managing

  20. Your life (1Co 6:19) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (1Co 6:20) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

  21. Your money (Hag 2:8) The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. (Luk16:10-11) He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

  22. Money isn't really the issue. Money becomes the issue because what we do with money reflects and reveals how we view God, ourselves and our relationship with Him

  23. Principle #2 Gains or loses

  24. Your life (Mat 16:26) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

  25. Your money (1Jn 2:16) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. Lust of the flesh (Controlling the desire to DO) Lust of the eyes (Controlling the desire to HAVE) Pride of life (Controlling the desire to BE)

  26. Your money (Php 3:7) But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. (Php 3:8) Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

  27. Principle #3 Need or Greed

  28. (1Ti 6:6) But godliness with contentment is great gain. (1Ti 6:7) For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. (1Ti 6:8) And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. (1Ti 6:9) But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

  29. Principle #4 Life or Strife

  30. (Luk 12:15) And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

  31. (Jas 4:1-3) From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

  32. Principle #5 This Life or the after life

  33. (1Co 3:12) Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; (1Co 3:13) Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. (1Co 3:14) If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. (1Co 3:15) If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

  34. (Rev 4:10) The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

  35. Acts 6 I Tim 3:8-13
