What is Financial Success as a Christian? Take a Look at an Eternal Point of View of Money


Listen Later

Hey Friend!

What is financial success to you?  So many people define financial success as retiring early, a million dollars in the bank, material Items and how much they accumulate, but I believe it should look different as a Christian.  I challenge you to look at this differently.  As Christians, we are eternal beings and I believe that our life should not be measured  by what we accumulate on earth, but by what we give.  

 

Instead of fancy vehicles and focusing on material items, choose to give more to those in need and give all the glory to God.  There are so many opportunities to give- missionaries, and so many many Christian based ministries. Your money is God’s money-keep your hands wide open for what He wants you to do with it.  Once you change away from the world’s view of materialism, you may think about giving in a different way.  When you value your priorities differently, you can change the world with God’s help.  He can do big things through you, so don’t ever doubt that once you change your life, you will see a difference. We are proof that once you change the focus from yourself to others, everything changes.  We have seen God’s hand in so many things more than ever these last 10 years.

 

Don’t ever place your worth in a dollar value.  Look at financial success as God does.  Eternity is forever, but our time on this earth is short.  Make sure you are making the best of it and giving wherever you can.  God sees you and it will not go unnoticed.  Sometimes this means giving of your time if you don’t have the funds because serving is also considered giving.

 

I just wanted to bring this up because I had this conversation with a friend recently and we both thought most people don’t think like this, so this is just something for you to ponder on this lovely day!
