Marriage

(continued on marriage)In order to have your finances going in the right direction, you need to have a purpose. This is called a mission. Every home needs a reason to work for God. Some years back the corporate world and much of the church world decided everyone needed a “mission statement” and that’s ok for it gives that entity a focus point to work toward. It follows true with a family but it should be more than to get rich or have a great retirement savings. As Christians we should have the kingdom of God as our priority. We budget so that we can give a great offering in revival or a missionary is coming or the church is doing a remodel, building, etc. Let’s do this as working for the Lord! A support is put under something in order to make it strong and durable by working with a mission(some may say goal) you are giving an eternal destiny for your money. Most of us are blest beyond our needs, we have the ability to purchase gas for our vehicles, buy groceries when needed in other words supply our necessities but put Gods need on a back burner. What mission or goal have you set for this upcoming year with your family with the Lords work financially as a priority? Take on a project and work toward it, landscaping, mowing, utilities, cleaning and the supplies, lightbulbs, kleenexes, water bottles for the preacher, and many other projects. This doesn’t cover the many other you can do for the man of God, meals, clothing, fuel for his vehicle. DOES YOUR FAMILY HAVE A MISSION! I sometimes wonder if this could be one of the reasons many of our children loose out with God, because they had no goals or underlying motive to live for God. Get a mission for your family. You need to set a standard for your children. Acts “For in Him we live, and move, and have our being…”, Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” While it’s still day, work for the Lord.
