The Biblical Secrets Of Economic Success in Downtimes!!!!

                                               The Secret of Economic Success!

 

 

Text: Philippians 4: 10-23

 

 Dear friends,

       We are living through some really tough times which are: morally, spirituality and economically problematic! These United States of America are truly at the verge of bankruptcy.

 

    We are in some much debt up to our ears it isn’t funny! The borrowing and spending are totally out of control by the government and the results are that many people of all walks of life are suffering now and will face financial hardships in the very near future.

 

   The big questions here are,” How can we get out of it, or can we survive? 

Can God speak to us about living in tough economic times?”

 

 The good news for us are found in the Book of Philippians Chapter 4

 

 What are some things that God is speaking to us in these passages?

·    We are not to worry but trust in Him!

 

  The word worry comes from the old English word “to strangle”

 

Where does worry come from?  Dr. Werisbe states, “That worries comes from when the thoughts in our mind and feelings pulling in different directions and “Tears us apart”

 

  Here is the following process of worry:

 

1.     The mind thinks about the problems.

  2. This feeds additional feelings into our heart (Thoughts)

  3. Which produces negative results.”

 

  This week was a critical one for me. Everything was on the line for me and my family economically!

 

    I allowed Satan to plant doubts in my mind about not passing the Middle School Social Studies Exam, what could happen economically to my family and me. Satan even brought some people in my life to reinforce these doubts.

 

   I thank God for some Godly friends, family members, and my precious Godly wife reminding me:

 

·    To focus on God’s promises,

·    To study,

·    To allow God to bring to my mind the answers to the questions,

·    To go in with a positive attitude. “

 

    

 I also reminded that the Bible states in Philippians Chapter 4 verse 13,” I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”

  

 The result, I passed the exam!!!!!!!!!

 

    Dear friends, the lesson I am reminded of here,” Not to listen to Satan fears, or people that do not have my best interest at heart. Also, not to allow the feelings of doom and gloom to penetrate my mind, but to trust in Jesus, continue to do your part and He will see you through!!!!!!”

      

    I will continue this series of “How to develop economic success.”

 

  Until then trust in the Lord and He will not forget you!!!

Love,

Eddie
