5 THINGS TO HONOR GOD WITH OUR MONEY.pptx

Honoring God with our Money
1. Build a Right Attitude Towards It.
Honoring God with our wealth starts with the heart. Unless our attitude and perspective of money are set in the right way, what we do externally will remain empty and misguided actions.
2. Help Those in Need
There are many people around us who are in need (the poor, friends, family and community members) and who we can help in cash or in kind.
Generosity honours God because it is a means by which we become a channel of His grace. When we allow God to use us and our money, what we're really saying is that He's in charge of our life and our wallets.
3. Take Control of Your Spending
When we are faithful with the little, God blesses us with more. Why is that?
God rewards stewardship simply because it honours and pleases Him. When we take control of our finances and budget such that we don't spend more than we earn, our self-discipline and contentment puts a smile on God's face.
4. Give the Tithe
While the tithe may have evolved in practice, the virtue of it still remains timeless.
Tithing is a form of worship and expression of our love, faith and devotion towards God over money. Deuteronomy 14:23 (TLB) says, "The purpose of tithing is to teach you to put God first."
Our giving of the tithe is an outward expression of an internal resolve to put God first over money.
5. Build Your Income.
Contrary to what some people believe, becoming rich and wealthy honours God as long as it is achieved in the righteous and honest way.
God is honoured when we gain fortunes mainly because it comes from Him and He delights in blessing us.
Building income almost always comes because we are excellent in what we do. Excellence and diligence honour God
Money is powerful not only because of what we can do with it but also because of what it can do to us.
It CANNOT rule over our hearts and lead us to a life that honours and pleases God.
