God loves a cheerful giver and He promises great blessings to those who are generous. Being generous does not mean you cannot accumulate wealth anymore. Generosity does not imply that one cannot enjoy riches and possessions. Being a giver does not necessarily mean that you can’t invest inreal estate, Wholesaleinsurance.net or any other business endeavor. Generosity balances our heart. It makes us remove our focus on materialism. Giving is the only solution to materialism.

“Seeking the wealth of his people.”
Esther 10:3
Mordecai was a true patriot, and therefore, being exalted to the highest position under Ahasuerus, he used his eminence to promote the prosperity of Israel. In this he was a type of Jesus, who, upon His throne of glory, seeks not His own, but spends His power for His people. It were well if every Christian would be a Mordecai to the church, striving according to his ability for its prosperity. Some are placed in stations of affluence and influence, let them honour their Lord in the high places of the earth, and testify for Jesus before great men. Others have what is far better, namely, close fellowship with the King of kings, let them be sure to plead daily for the weak of the Lord’s people, the doubting, the tempted, and the comfortless. It will redound to their honour if they make much intercession for those who are in darkness and dare not draw nigh unto the mercy seat. Instructed believers may serve their Master greatly if they lay out their talents for the general good, and impart their wealth of heavenly learning to others, by teaching them the things of God. The very least in our Israel may at least seek the welfare of his people; and his desire, if he can give no more, shall be acceptable. It is at once the most Christlike and the most happy course for a believer to cease from living to himself. He who blesses others cannot fail to be blessed himself. On the other hand, to seek our own personal greatness is a wicked and unhappy plan of life, its way will be grievous and its end will be fatal. Read the rest of this entry »

Christmas season is just around the corner and it is probably the time of the year when the dissatisfaction of a lot of people rise because so many gift items get displayed but the financial capability of everyone do not necessarily increase. In fact, many people resort to cash advances and loans to get what they want but for those who are not good in handling their finances well, getting into credit does not work for them.
Biblically, we are encouraged to save like the ants. This is very advisable for those who do not handle credit pretty well because by saving, the interest rates become their ally instead of their enemy. Why not try this for next year?
