Unstrapped

“The Bottom Line”

See Matthew 25:14-30

1. I’m unstrapped, when I recognize it ALL BELONGS to God.

• All I have is a GIFT from God.

What makes you better than anyone else? What do you have that God hasn’t given you? And if all you have is from God, why boast as though you have accomplished something on your own? 1Corinthians 4:7 (NLT)

• I belong to God

For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver. He paid for you with the precious lifeblood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.  God chose him for this purpose long before the world began, but now in these final days, he was sent to the earth for all to see. And he did this for you. 1Peter 1:18-20 (NLT)

2. I’m unstrapped, when I MANAGE God’s RESOURCES well.

It is better to have little with fear for the LORD than to have great treasure with turmoil. Proverbs 15:16 (NLT)

The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’ Matthew 25:21 (NLT)

3.  I’m unstrapped, when I FOLLOW God’s PLAN for my resources.

• HONOR Him.

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the LORD Almighty, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Let me prove it to you! Malachi 3:10 (NLT)

• INVEST in the kingdom.

The servant who received the five bags of gold began immediately to invest the money and soon doubled it. Matthew 25:16 (NLT)

• Minimize DEBT

Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is servant to the lender. Proverbs 22:7 (NLT)

• SAVE

The wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend whatever they get. Proverbs 21:20 (NLT)

Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for GOD's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track. Proverbs 3:5-6 (MSG)
