God is interested in our willingness to manage and administrate all that He has given to us. Nothing will be thrown into our laps. Financial prosperity is not an unconditional providential blessing; conditions are attached. We are to take action and be proactive. The abilities and giftings God provides motivate us to action. Sometimes it takes our persistence in doing the same things faithfully with the heart of a servant. Other times it is time to try new things, new methods, and seek new opportunities. Sometimes the steady plodding brings the success of the blessed life. Many people, deep in debt and lacking in self-discipline in their spending and contentment level, complain that their employers don't pay them enough, their taxes are much too high, their business costs have skyrocketed, or render some other excuse why they cannot plan for their financial future. Of course, some of these excuses may have a certain amount of legitimacy to them, but they don't excuse a person from the responsibility of making sure that they are not wasting any of the resources God has allowed to come through their hands. The problem is rarely a lack of money; it is a lack of money management. Money management simply means self-management. This book will help the reader to re-align their financial attitude so that can begin to fulfill their potential financial altitude.

What is the approximate value of the things you own (car, house, property, insurance policy—large items)? Identify your income: How much money do you make? Detail your debts: What/who do you owe? When is it due? What interest rates are you paying on each debt?

Helpful Hint: Keep a log throughout each month of everything you spend. Money Tip #2: Consider Your Lifestyle and Spending Habits Be introspective: Why do you live the way you do? For career advancement, to please family, to entertain friends, or to live comfortably? Consider what you could honestly do without: Do you pay others to do something that you could do yourself? Do you eat out when you could eat less expensively at home? Money Tip #3: Establish Financial Goals List future expenditures: What future expenses do you anticipate? (such as schooling, purchasing a home, replacing a car, etc). Consider future career and family changes: Are you considering starting your own business, serving in a ministry, getting married, or starting a family? How will these plans change your financial situation? State your future financial goals: Financially, where do you want to be 5 years from now...10 years? What are realistic expectations money saving goals? Money Tip #4: Take Action with Your Finances Pay extra on your debts and stop feeding your debt through unnecessary habits.

To help you chart your path to financial freedom, grab a copy of June Hunt's Financial Freedom: How to Handle Your Money Wisely. This tool offers practical help to find financial freedom, including: "Five Principles of Managing Money" and "How to Cancel Debt." What perspective should I have of money? Myth: "If you live a godly, Christian life, you will experience financial gain and prosperity." Truth: According to God's Word, godliness is not a means to financial gain. The Bible calls this "a different doctrine" taught by false teachers. Myth:"Money is the root of all evil." Truth: No, according to the Bible, it is the "love of money" that is a root of evil. (1 Timothy 6:10). Money can be used for great good. Myth: "If I ever have enough money and earthly possessions, I will be happy." Truth: Happiness does not spring from your financial situation nor does it come from possessions. "His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'" (Matthew 25:23). Finding true financial freedom involves more than having enough money to bask in the comfort of a prosperous lifestyle. It's more than learning to budget expenses, to save regularly, to invest wisely. True financial freedom is being content with what God gives you. And contentment is a matter of the heart!

Author Rich Brott notes that ¿faith¿ is a choice, an act of the human will. It is a deliberate choice to place confidence in God and His Word. Unbelief is a sin because it is a deliberate choice to withhold confidence in God and His Word. Faith is a receiving of the truth, an embracing of the truth, and a commitment to the God of truth! And commitment always produces action. That is why faith without works is dead. With no action there is no commitment. With no commitment there is no faith! In this book, you will find 25 faith-building principles that will enlarge your capacity to receive the very best that God has to offer you.
