When you work for money instead of purpose, you’re indirectly serving mammon. But when you work for your divine purpose and get money in return for your labour, you’re serving the God who rewards and blesses people to enjoy their riches and give some to others.
Everything earthly is temporary. Use what God has blessed you with to do good works. In that way, your treasures in heaven will increase since God records your good works in heaven as Christians.
Apostle Paul said clearly in Galatians 6:6 that the one who’s taught the Word should share in all good things with their instructor. In other words, it’s mandatory for congregants, whether physical or online, to support the one who ministers God’s Word to them.
You don’t have to let a third party know about your generosity. You don’t have to make a public show of your donations in the media for people’s praise. You only have to do one thing: obey God’s Word by giving rightly.

Give to the one who asks you, even if he has failed to return what you gave multiple times. Give without expecting back. Because if you do, you might be disappointed. You’re a giver in Christ. So manifest this privilege in your life.
“Where are you sowing now?” This question isn’t about who sees or doesn’t see your work. It’s personal. Are you sowing in the Spirit by engaging in spiritual activities that’ll build you up in Christ — such as prayer, Word study, Christian book reading and fasting? Or are you sowing in the flesh by using your body as an instrument of unrighteousness?
Growing up, I heard many people speaking about the Bible condemning the love of money. Today, it hasn’t changed. But the question is, “What does it mean to love money?” And how can we prevent it from affecting our lives as children of God? Read this article to find out more.
God sees beyond what we do physically. The Bible says in Proverbs 16:2 (NIV) that God weighs the motives of our hearts. So what is secretive before people is plain before God.
What do you do with your money? Do you spend as if there’s no tomorrow so as to save today? Many people end up in debt not because they don’t have money but because they’ve not learnt how to steward their funds as God directed us to do in the scriptures. The Bible teaches about savings and multiple investments (Ecclesiastes 11:1, Proverbs 21:20). So God isn’t silent on how we must use our finances. What do you know?
If you’re generous, then blessed are you because anybody who gives unto the poor lends to the Lord (Proverbs 19:17), and God is faithful to reward such people.
One wise way of managing finances is to delay your pleasure, whether as a person or corporate people, for the sake of what’s ahead of you.
As a child of God, you only need to focus on following and knowing Jesus. That’s it. You’ll see that He’ll give you all the satisfaction your soul craves and all the provision you need to live a fulfilled life of purpose.
