Wealth Creation Strategies by Pat Mesiti

11/6/2015

In this video, Pat Mesiti discusses the vehicles for wealth creation. Whether it be owning a business, investing, property, or online opportunities, the key to wealth creation in your life is moving from talking about it to actually doing something.

At the same time, it is important to avoid the big pitfall to wealth creation which is trying to "get rich quick." You actually develop wealth over time as you must personally mature to handle great wealth. To that end, financial mentors and a financial education are important aspects to growing in the type of maturity that creates and maintains wealth.

Bottom line, you have to do something - plan strategically - believing well and doing nothing is biggest mistake you can make. We pray that you enjoy the journey to unlocking the financial future that supports your Godly destiny.

How To Build A Strong Financial Foundation by Rick Warren

11/5/2015

In this video, Rick Warren shares that, "God doesn’t want you to live under financial stress, but chances are, you spend a lot of time with money on your mind. You worry about how to earn it, spend it, save it, give it, and invest it. All throughout the Bible, there are spiritual laws for managing money. In this message, Pastor Rick Warren looks at God’s laws for financial freedom. You’ll learn six principles about money that will eliminate financial tension in your life, help you get and stay out of debt, and allow you to maximize what you have been given. Discover the blessings that God has in store for you when you put him first and follow his plan for your finances."

As you remember God as your source, honor God with your first fruits, faithfully save money, keep good records, plan your spending, and enjoy what you have, we pray that your financial life will enable, and not block, your ability to discover, unlock, and live your Godly destiny.

What is Biblically Responsible Investing by John Siverling

11/5/2015

In this video, John Siverling explains the why, what and how of Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI). BRI is a type of investing which aligns your investment with your Christian worldview. Remember, investing in a company means that you become a partial "owner" of the organization. This "ownership" transfers a responsibility of Godly stewardship for how you chose to use your investing monies.

Therefore, it is important to think through how you screen which companies you should invest in as a professional steward of what God has asked you to manage on His behalf.

Understanding that "ownership" confers responsibility is critical for all who feel called with a Godly destiny to be an investor.

Generous Testimony by Alan Barnhart

11/5/2015

In this video, Alan Barnhart shares his testimony of how he came to prioritize giving. He set his heart on being a giver rather than a consumer, and as such has been blessed with much - which he freely gives. Alan's testimony is not so much a formula for success, as we are each called to a unique purpose, but rather spiritual principle which may inform your own thinking.

We hope that as you discover, unlock, and live in the abundance of your personal Godly destiny, you will consider how much more blessed it is to give rather than receive.

Christian Stewardship, Wealth & Poverty by Ron Blue

10/12/2015

Do you want to hear from the man who has helped fund billions of dollars into Kingdom purposes utilizing Biblical wisdom? In this video, Ron Blue shares many important principles for overcoming fear, confusion, and doubt.

Christians should be the greatest money managers on the planet, as our money handling decisions are informed by our heart condition. If our heart is consumed by materialism, then we will struggle with perpetual poverty. However, if your heart is set on being a good steward of God's resources entrusted to you, then abundance will follow you.

To be sure, great money management is critical to unlocking your Godly destiny.

It's all About Freedom by Kevin O'Leary

9/22/2015

This video by Kevin O'Leary has some especially tough and straight talk about what it takes to be an entrepreneur or one who commands great resources. Viewer warning - this is not a carefully crafted talk scrubbed clean for a church audience, but it is full of important concepts for those whose Godly destiny includes owning a business and/or growing wealth through investing.

Do you believe that God is looking to raise up some of His people into the world of high finance, venture capital, and make billionaires out of His entrepreneurs? Then, maybe we can learn something from someone who has been there and had a front row seat on the most popular entrepreneurial TV show of all time - Shark Tank.

Pride, Poverty and Gratitude by Dave Ramsey

9/7/2015

Dave Ramsey reminds us that money is not the root of all evil, but rather the love of money is the root of all sorts of problems. In America, we enjoy the most prosperous lives in the history of mankind. How did this happen? According to Dave, we have benefited from our nation’s Judeo-Christian foundation, which has set in place the values of prosperity. As we have embraced ideals like honesty and service from a Biblical worldview, we have prospered. We are, in fact, rich.

So, what must we consider as we walk in prosperity? When it comes to a worldview of wealth, one spirit to avoid is the spirit of pride. It says that wealth comes from me. “I created the wealth.” The second spirit to avoid is the spirit of poverty. It says that money is from the devil and is evil, and anyone who has money has done something wrong. People feel like the game is rigged. This sort of thinking often opens the door to jealousy and envy.

Finally, Dave discusses the Spirit of Gratitude, which says that wealth and possessions come from God. If you are grateful, then your actions show your gratitude. The Spirit of Gratitude changes everything you do when you are grateful to your Lord.

This presentation will help you unlock your Godly destiny by helping you understand that prosperity and purpose go hand in hand.

Prosperity with a Purpose: The Blessing Mandate by Bill Johnson

8/30/2015

In this video, Bill Johnson shares with us about Prosperity with a Purpose. He suggests that a blessing comes from the Lordship of Jesus which expands with your purpose. However, increase that comes outside the Lordship of Jesus leads to misplaced credit and loss of purpose. Additionally, purpose and moral conscious is awakened through His kindness and generosity toward us.

Do you believe that the Lord wants to destroy the root of anxiety and fear as it relates to money? Do you believe that creativity flows from a place of peace? Can you see how creativity leads to resources? Destroying this root of anxiety will open the door to resources.
