Brand New Pt. 3 New Finances
(2 Corinthians 5:17 TLB) When someone becomes a Christian, he
becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A
new life has begun!
MAMMON’S PROMISES
(Luke 16:9-13 NKJV) “And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by
unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an
everlasting home. He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in
much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.
Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon,
who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been
faithful in what is another man's, who will give you what is your own?
No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and
love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and mammon.”
✔️ Security.
(Proverbs 11:28) Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the
righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
(Hebrews 13:5-6) Keep your lives free from the love of money and
be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I
leave you; never will I forsake you.’ So we say with confidence, ‘The
Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?’
✔️ Identity.
(Luke 12:15 NLT) Then he said, “Beware! Don’t be greedy for what
you don’t have. Real life is not measured by how much we own.”
(Psalm 139:13-14) For you created my inmost being; you knit me
together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully
and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full
well.
✔️ Happiness.
(Ecclesiastes 5:10 NLT) “Those who love money will never have
enough. How absurd to think that wealth brings true happiness!”
(Romans 4:7-8 NCV) “Happy are they whose sins are forgiven,
whose wrongs are pardoned. Happy is the person whom the Lord
does not consider guilty.”
NEW FINANCES
(1 Timothy 6:9-10) 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.
Am I returning the first?
(Proverbs 3:9-10) Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the
firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to
overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
(Deuteronomy 14:22-23) Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that
your fields produce each year…so that you may learn to revere the
LORD your God always.
2. Am I stewarding the rest?
(Luke 16:10-12) “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be
trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will
also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy
in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And
if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property,
who will give you property of your own?”
3. Am I focusing on true riches?
(Matthew 6:19-21) “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on
earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and
steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth
and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and
steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
