Everyone hopes/longs for FINANCIAL FREEDOM...but what exactly it means?
Allow me to share what I've learned yesterday.Financial Freedom is NOT equal to more money/being a millionaire,rather, Financial Freedom is simply not having to worry about tomorrow.Financial blessings, of course, comes from our heavenly rich sugar daddy...Without him who provides our needs, we will always be poor.Has money become Satan's No. 1 weapon against mankind? I guessed so... and that is why even the bible (written thousands years ago) state:"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." Matthew 6:24It is clearly stated that people who don't serve God, they serve money.Definition of serving money:- Always fearful of not having money- Work/strive just for money- Always not enough, always striving... etc.- Always talk about moneySide effects of serving money:- Self centered/Selfish- Calculative- Troubled/worried.."People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." 1 Tim 6: 9-10GOOD news!!!We have a rich papa! Our heavenly father is rich and generous of giving!BUT!! He will give according to our needs, not our wants...And often, his gifts are not equal, to every individual, he give different gifts...He knows what you need, and will give you with no strings attached...Simply, a prayer for financial freedom is......"Give us each day our daily bread" extracted from Luke 1The the verse following that?"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." - this is a promise..DO YOU WANT THIS PROMISE?After Jesus says: "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."He continued:"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
HE can provide for your needs, IF you ask of him...start asking today~! and receive in no time!Stay tuned tomorrow for my own testimony of God's financial blessing in my family recently.
Oh! what absolutely make sense to me was:
IF you store your treasure on Earth, everyday you are living further from it..
BUT if you store your treasures in heaven, everyday you are nearer to it!
and i stand in awe of your love
