But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33)
 
·         True wealth is more than money and things, but it takes money and things to advance the Kingdom.
·         True wealth is based on a relationship with Father God through His Son Jesus Christ -- without that, all are deceived in thinking themselves "wealthy."
·         True wealth is also denominated in our earthly relationships, such as our family, friends and local church.
·         True wealth is characterized by servanthood. He who serves leads.
·         True wealth is reserved for the righteous (Prov. 13:22) both now and in eternity.
 
From God's perspective, you may just discover that you are wealthier than you thought! We are admonished to stop comparing our wealth to the world systems wealth which is very often empty and deceptive, and to begin seeing true wealth from God's perspective. Remember: The way that we handle our money speaks louder than our words.
 
GOD'S SYSTEM: Beginning in Genesis (13:2) the scripture associates the blessing of wealth given by God to Abraham as consisting of four primary substances: 1. Gold, 2. Silver, 3. Land, and 4. Livestock. Gold and silver have been the money of choice for centuries because they fulfill the godly characteristics of true money. True money must be scarce, portable, divisible, and maintain a store of value.
MAN'S SYSTEM: From the beginning of recorded history man has taken true money (or substance) and sought to counterfeit it with everything from clay tablets to electronic blips on the computer screen. Our modern credit/debt system originated in 5000 B.C. in Babylon. Babylonian bankers loaned out credit (which they "create" from thin air) and then charged interest or usury on top of it! Notice that credit and debt are intangibles, and can be easily manipulated by the powerful to enrich themselves at everyone's expense.
Our whole modern banking system is patterned after the Babylonians and is based on the premise that God's laws are not true. Therefore, bankers have the divine right to create credit as a money substitute. Sadly, most of us have given our consent to the Babylonian banking system -- without understanding the consequences. Let me summarize:
  • A continuing battle for the money and resources of the earth rages on between the godly and ungodly.
  • Biblical money consists of substance, not symbolism.
  • The best way to win the war for true money is to learn from history so we don't repeat it. If you'll write to me I will send you out a free copy of "Economic Solutions" to help your education.
  • Remember that true wealth is always based on substance!
From Genesis 2 through Revelation 21 the Bible refers to gold and silver no less than 783 times. Is there any question of the historical value and importance that gold and silver have played in the economic foundation of mankind? I think not. Yet, most Christians are only familiar with a few verses mentioning gold or silver.
I  hope you will get a clearer picture why the Bible declares that gold & silver are honest and true money, which will always stand the test of time. Today silver and gold are considered archaic forms of money, given the modern trend toward abstract paper money and credit instruments. It would be wise to review some of the reasons that God's Word declares that gold and silver are true wealth and the benefits they could offer Christians at the end of the 20th century.
  1. Gold is good. In Gen. 2:12 God declares that gold is good because He created it. Paper money, referred to as "your wealth" will be consumed. Also, our so-called paper money is really made from a mixture of paper and cloth, which is referred to as "rag." Interesting that our righteousness is always referred to as "filthy rags" in scripture.
  2. Gold is tested by fire. I Cor. 3:12 tell us that the foundation and quality of our lives will be tested by fire. Notice gold and silver are simply purified by fire, but wood, hay, and stubble are consumed and loss if suffered. Need I say more?
  3. Gold is a sign of power and blessing. Throughout history the ruling class has always sought to own gold and silver, because they represent purity and longevity. Gold and silver are precious because they are scarce, they cannot be counterfeited by man. God commanded that the tabernacle in the OT and the New Jerusalem in the NT were to be built of gold, not paper. (Ex. 25 & Rev. 21)
  4. Gold & Silver belong to God alone. Hag. 2:8 tells us that "the silver is mine and the gold is mine saith the Lord." This cannot be said of man's counterfeit credit instruments which are contrary to God's commandment that we use a just weight and measure in our transactions.
        In conclusion, silver and gold are good, pure, and long lasting froms of value originating and belong to God. We are simply stewards of His property here on earth.
     
  • Do you know what the primary job of Jesus was on earth? To bind up the broken-hearted and to redeem mankind back to Father God? Yes. But, how did He KNOW He was on target? Did Jesus have a PLAN? Let's look at what HE said in Luke 2:49. Read it with me: "How is it that you sought me? Know you not that I must be about my Father's business?" So, when it comes to using His time, talent and resources, Jesus yielded to one desire, one mission -- doing "Father's business." Now, this may be the first time you've ever considered relating to your Heavenly Father as a businessman, but if Jesus did, I think we should too. As the father of two teens who are now in training for a productive, fruitful life, I can relate with the importance of listening to Father for direction. What exactly is FATHER'S BUSINESS PLAN?         
  • First, FATHER'S BUSINESS is training up His children to be WORKERS with Himself throughout all eternity. Now that's a thought... God's plan to bring us to maturity is to patiently labor along side our Heavenly Father. We're His apprentices during our time on earth, to prepare for eternity. The notion of retirement in eternityis without biblical support. Are you doing His business today?       
  •  Second, FATHER'S BUSINESS is that we model the good news of redemption to a hurting world - which requires SELF-DENIAL. I don't know about you, but self-denial has never been an easy one for me. The only way I can live by the cross is to die by the cross. Self denial, for me, only works when I take the LONG-TERM perspective of my Father. The law of sowing and reaping requires time. Self-denial always seems foolish to the world's thinking because it's so short-term oriented.   
  • Third, FATHER'S BUSINESS is to extend His influence WIDELY. Like any good businessman, God wants to franchise His perfect will globally -- which is where you and I come in. We are His representatives of the quality of life that the Kingdom of God offers. That means at home, in church, and in the marketplace -- we're each called by God to rise to our maximum level of achievement. It is His plan for us. Thank God that HE equipts us (and teaches us His character) to reach His goals.      
  •  Fourth, FATHER'S BUSINESS is not rushed, and neither should we. How many times have we repeated our efforts because we didn't take time. For example, it has taken me over 15 years and plenty of God's grace to build my business, Swiss America. I discover His business PLAN daily -- line upon line, precept upon precept. Remember dear Christian; time is your friend, not your enemy. In fact, as Christians serving the Father, time is on OUR side!  
  • In conclusion, if you're a Christian  you ARE in business -- either for yourself or for God. God's business plan requires (with Father God's help) that we: discern our job description, undergo training, then, work hard. As the parable of the sower illustrates, True Wealth is the result of entering God's labor force equipped and empowered to produce long-term fruit. Any volunteers?
