Welcome to our Wednesday’s broadcast of
the Gospel truth today I’m continuing to
teach on financial stewardship I have a
book on this CDs DVDs a USB we’ve even
got some DVDs where people receive this
truth and it caused them to prosper and
so we’ve got two DVDs that I have I
think it has four or five testimonies on
each one of people and we’re making
those available and then I’ve got this
brief little booklet this is just a a
summary of this larger book this is 166
Pages This Is 50 pages and we’re giving
this away as a free gift because I just
want you to get these truths this is
available for a donation of any amount
uh we we won’t deny it to people that
don’t give you know a the suggested
donation but we encourage you to give
something because it cost a lot of money
we’ll put out about 50 or
60,000 of each one of these books uh
during this series and we couldn’t do
that if nobody gave so anyway I
encourage you to please get hold of
these materials this is now my third day
to be teaching on this the very first
day basically what I did was try and
separate myself from people who use uh
teaching on Prosperity for just selfish
purposes and people are immediately
thinking you’re just preaching greed and
stuff and I tried to deal with those
objections the first day then yesterday
I started teaching out of Luke chapter
16
this Parable that Jesus gave about a
rich man who had a steward who was
stealing money from him he heard the
accusations against his Steward and so
he uh said put your books in order and
if what I’ve heard is correct you’re
going to be fired and the man was guilty
and so he decided what he would do
before he got fired he would still steal
money from his master but instead of
putting it in his pocket he would start
using this money to bribe other people
so he called in every person who owed
his master money and he started
discounting their debts from anywhere
from 20 to
50% and the logic behind that was when
he got fired he’d be able to go knock on
their door and say do you remember what
I did for you can I come stay with you
for a while could you feed me could you
give me some money he was still stealing
money but he was bribing people with it
he was using that money to influence
people so that in the future when he got
fired he’d be able to go mooch off of
them so that’s basically the parable the
thing that was confusing to me for so
long is the eth verse of Luke chapter 16
because in this verse it says and the
Lord commended the unjust Steward
because he had done wisely for the
children of this world are in their
generation wiser than the children of
light and this is what I talked about
yesterday there’s two things in this
eighth verse that have just really
become Revelation to me the first thing
is the Master’s response it’s unusual
that somebody who’s having someone steal
from them could be detached enough from
that money that they could find
something to compliment the thief over
now this isn’t uh putting your stamp of
approval on thievery the guy was going
to fire him so it’s not like he approved
of what he did but finally he saw that
this guy had done something wise what
was it that this master commended the
unjust Steward over and this is
something that you may need to think a
little bit to get this most people you
know when it comes to Christianity they
just want to be inspired they want to
have a goosebump or something like that
but they don’t want to have to use their
head for something besides a hat rack
they don’t want to think they just want
to be you know have some kind of an
emotional experience but you have to
think this man what he had done that was
wise that his master command commanded
him commended him for was the fact that
finally he began to realize that money
gives you power to influence your
future now that is an amazing statement
that not everybody understands did you
know today in our world we have such
easy credit and we have credit cards and
we have things that you can buy stuff
and you can go ahead and get your
furniture or get something and have no
payments for a year and we have this
instant gratification we have fast food
we have all of these things it’s all
become a convenience in society and
people have just adjusted to this to
where they don’t they don’t think about
the future they just think about what
can I get right now somebody wants a car
right now and instead of getting a car
that they can afford they can go down
there and I can guarantee you if you’re
a warm body and if you haven’t done
something really really bad you can get
a car on credit and if your credit’s bad
what they’ll do is just jack up the
interest rate on you and things like
this but most people can qualify to get
something
but you’re going to wind up paying extra
for it I remember one time when we
bought a house the very first house that
I ever bought uh I got a VA loan and I
remember sitting down and signing the
papers and there was something that it
was like a legal requirement that they
had to show us what the payout at the
end of 30 years would be and I forget
now the details but it we were going to
wind up paying twice what that house was
worth because we were paying it off in
time so let’s you know my house I think
was around $660,000 when I built this
house it was probably
$12,000 house but a guy uh helped me to
build it and just basically gave it to
me uh for nothing but the cost and so it
was
$60,000 I paid for this house but it was
going to wind up being
$120,000 by the time I got the thing
paid out or
more and uh so anyway my wife and I we
wound up doubling up on our payments and
we got the thing paid off I think in 12
years and I’ve been out of debt for 20
years I haven’t owed for anything but
I’m saying this see this is what most
people do they just think uh you know I
can go ahead and get this 60 or
$70,000 car and of course you don’t have
the money for it so what you do you wind
up going in debt and you wind up paying
over $100,000 for it whereas if you had
just gone maybe you only had $5,000 and
so you go get something that maybe isn’t
the best but you take the money you
would have been making on payments and
you set it aside and then when you it
comes time you go and you buy something
that’s worth $110,000 and then you work
up to and eventually you get to where
you’re paying for your cars uh in cash
you get a better deal that way you don’t
pay all of this interest but most people
today they they don’t look at interest
as being a a bad thing did you know if
you buy a car and drive it off the
showroom lot you’ve just lost $10,000 by
the time you get out to the main street
that’s how much that thing decreases
that is not an appreciating asset it’s a
decrease decreasing asset depreciating
and it’s not good stewardship but see
most people don’t think about the future
people will take credit cards and they
will make the minimum payment and again
I’ve seen the statistics on this I won’t
be able to quote it exactly but people
who pay the minimum payment on a credit
card are going to wind up in so much
debt that you just cannot sustain that
and yet people will they just want
instant gratification see that’s what
this guy had done he had stolen money
from his master before and you can see
in the third verse of chapter 16 he says
what am I going to do my Master’s taking
away from me the stewardship I cannot
dig to beg I’m ashamed you know what
that’s saying that’s saying he hadn’t
invested this money he hadn’t saved it
he hadn’t put it into someplace he had
blown it he had been buying caviar and
fancy clothes and cars and DVDs flat
screen TVs he had been blowing it on
things that that you could not live off
of he hadn’t saved a bit of his money
but when he was facing getting fired and
being out on the street and he didn’t
want to beg and he he didn’t want to
work manual labor what he did he started
using money to influence people and
that’s the reason that his master
commended him he says finally you’ve
realized that the greatest use of your
money isn’t for just temporary things
but it’s for the future now he was
talking about in this physical Life
future but Jesus goes on here’s Jesus
application of this in verse 9 the
reason he gave this Parable he says and
I say unto you make to yourselves
Friends of the mamm of unrighteousness
you know I’m reading out of the King
James and boy this just does not seem to
communicate to most people and they
won’t put the effort into it to think
about it and look it up but Mammon was
the name of a demon god that controlled
money and so it was a term that was used
to refer to money so use money to make
friends so that when you fail and that
word fail here is the exact same word
that’s translated die in other places in
scripture so this is saying use money to
make friends with people to touch
people’s lives so that when you die they
will receive you into Everlasting
habitations what this is talking about
is that this master commended the
servant because finally he had
recognized he had control of this huge
amount of money and he had been stealing
part of it but he’ just been blowing it
on temporary things that you can’t live
off of those things but when he was
faced with getting fired he finally said
all right I’m going to use this money in
the position that I have this influence
to start influencing people with this
money so that when I’m fired I can Mo y
for them he started thinking about his
future and that’s the reason his master
commended him Jesus is saying we need to
use money not just for this physical
world future but for our Eternal future
so you need to touch people’s lives so
that when you die they will be lined up
to welcome you in to Heaven you know
there’s a song that I’ll spare you I’m
not going to sing it but the song is
basically about a man who had a dream
and in this dream he went to heaven and
when he got to Heaven There was people
lined up to thank him and people started
saying thank you for giving to the Lord
I’m a life that was changed and this man
started saying when did I ever touch you
is somebody from a different nation and
the man said that when you gave to that
missionary that came to your church and
you gave money to him he use that money
to bring the gospel to me and I’m a life
that was changed and that’s what this
song is about and that’s that song is
taken from this passage of scripture and
this is literally what Jesus was saying
we need to do with money we need to
recognize that money gives us power to
influence our future our physical future
but as well as our spiritual Eternal
future look at it this way you can take
money something that is temporary there
isn’t going to be money in heaven I saw
a little
cartoon about a guy that was going to
the Pearly Gates you know he had died
and he had a suitcase and the angel said
what did you bring a suit case up here
for and he says I brought all of this
all of my riches and so he opens up the
suitcase and the angel looks at it and
he says you brought pavement up
here and the logic was that the streets
in heaven are paved with gold man what
we consider riches and stuff here there
aren’t going to be riches in heaven it’s
it means nothing but you can take
something money that is going to someday
be gone if it’s paper money it’s going
to burn up if it’s gold and silver it’s
going to melt and it’ll eventually burn
up it doesn’t matter if it’s uh you know
if it’s diamonds or anything like that
everything in this world is someday
going to be gone away it’s going to melt
away with fervent heat is what the
scripture says but you can take this
money these riches that are temporary
that won’t last beyond this Earth and
you can turn them into something
Eternal think about that you can take
something temporary and turn it into
something Eternal how do you do that by
investing in people’s lives by touching
people and of course I think one of the
greatest ways to touch people isn’t with
just physical things although that’s a
part of it but it’s to share the gospel
with them when you invest money into
your church into a Ministry when you
invest into a missionary that is
changing people’s lives did you know
that that money that you give to them
that money never leaves your life it
just enters into your future your
Eternal future and someday you will
receive people coming to you and
thanking you for the money that you
invested so you can take something
that’s temporary that isn’t going to
last and turn it into something Eternal
I tell you if you understand this it is
not foolish to take something that you
can’t keep and turn it into something
that you could never
lose man that is profound and most
people don’t look at money that way
again most people are just like this
servant this Steward that you just look
at money for this life so you get you
things you get you toys and you have all
of these things you know how many
bathrooms do you have to have to be able
to take care of business sooner or later
you just need to come to a place to
where you’re content I’ve actually been
to places overseas that their their uh
entire house isn’t as big as some
people’s bathrooms here in the United
States that I’ve been into now again I’m
not saying that God doesn’t want you to
prosper and have things but that
shouldn’t be your focus your focus ought
to be on God how much can I take and
give I’m supposed to take care of my
family I’m supposed to you don’t mind me
having things God is El Shai not El
Cheapo and so I’m not saying that you
live in poverty I’m not against people
having big houses and things like that
but that shouldn’t be your focus your
focus ought to be God you’ve given me
these resources and how can I use this
to touch people’s lives to make friends
out of this money so that when I go to
heaven there will be people I’m going to
be bringing people to heaven with me you
know there’s no bad way to get to heaven
so if you just barely squeak into heaven
and if you’ve never given a thing and if
you’ve never touched another person and
yet you get to heaven it’s still going
to be a good deal but I guarantee I
don’t want to just barely get there I
want to bring people with me I want to
have people’s lives that I’ve touched
you know when uh Billy Graham died I I
thought of this verse and I thought I
wonder how many people were lined up to
welcome Billy Graham into
eternity man he preached to who knows
millions and millions hundreds of
millions of people he probably saw
millions of people born born again did
you know all of those people who had
already preceded him in death were lined
up to welcome him into heaven he used
the resources that God gave him to
preach the gospel to go on television to
go on radio to put out materials to hold
Crusades to do things and because of it
I guarantee you the line was probably
out of sight of people welcoming him
into heaven now again there’s no bad way
to get to heaven but wouldn’t you like
to have people that you’ve touched their
life this is the purpose of this Parable
this is why Jesus gave it he says just
like this man who had been wasting all
of this money that he had stolen but he
had just been blowing it on temporary
things there was nothing to show for it
finally he was forced into using that
money to influence his future and this
is what he’s saying you likewise need to
use the money that God has entrusted you
with to touch people now again God
doesn’t mind you having
things but it ought to be that you seek
first the kingdom of God and I promise
you once you start doing this and if you
put God first God is never going to let
you out give
him if you start giving God is going to
give back to you I guarantee you many
many many times over I know some friends
of mine that live in I mean mansions by
anybody’s standard and uh they get
criticized and I’ve heard many people
criticize them I’ve seen them on news
broadcast and people criticize them for
their standard of living but what they
don’t recognize is how much these people
have given never criticize a person’s
Harvest until you see how much seed they
planted this one friend of mine in
particular he they were criticizing him
because he lives in a $2 million home
and he’s a preacher and drives fancy
cars and he was speaking here at my
Bible College and so I got to talking to
him about this and and there had just
been a newspaper article against him and
I said what people don’t realize is that
you’ve given and you’ve given away so
many uh cars and stuff I told him I said
my wife and I have probably given away a
dozen cars brand new cars that we give
to other people just to be a blessing to
them and this guy he probably wouldn’t
say these things publicly and that’s the
reason I’m not using his name but in
private he told me he says I’ve probably
given away two or
300 cars to other
people and because of it he drove a very
nice car and then we got to talking
about his house and he lived in this
Mansion but he has probably bought a
hundred houses for other people now he
didn’t start that way he just started
with one time but you if you sew corn
you’ll reap corn and I’ve heard that
every one kernel of corn that you sew
you get two or three ears of corn on a
stalk and there’s like 700 and something
kernels of corn in each ear so you
receive hundreds of times over what you
sow and if a person starts giving away
cars I can guarantee you you are going
to be driving a nice car because God
won’t let you out give him if you give
away houses God will give you nice
houses
man I know that some people this is just
so weird but this is exactly what the
word of God teaches and this is exactly
the point that Jesus was making right
here you need to start using the money
that you have first and foremost to
promote the kingdom to build the kingdom
and some people think and yeah and if I
do that I’ll have
nothing Well if there wasn’t a God who
said that when you give it will be given
unto you good measure pressed down
shaking together and running over shall
men give into your bosom if there wasn’t
a God who promised that well then that’s
true if you just look at this and and
extract God from this whole process well
then yes like you know here is what you
want over there and you’re right here
and if you take a portion of the money
that you’ve got and give it away you’re
moving away from your goal not towards
that goal that’s the way it looks in the
natural but if you are if you’re
involving God in your giving doing it as
unto the Lord God said when you give
it’ll be it’ll be given back to you good
measure pressed down shaken together and
running over so that here you are here’s
your goal when you give instead of
moving away from it you’re actually
moving towards it because God is going
to increase
you and I tell you I see this happening
in my own life I see it happening with
other people you know we have two DVDs
right here that are just testimonies of
people that took these truths that we’re
sharing caring from the word and they
begin to prosper one of these
testimonies are friends of mine Rick and
Mitsy pudlo and they actually she was
eight months pregnant and they were
sleeping in a VW Bug when they first
heard me and they started believing God
and now he’s got an export import
business and they’re Millionaires and
God has blessed them they didn’t seek to
be millionaires what they sought was to
be stewards and to be faithful and as
they started doing what God
commanded them to do God begin to
prosper and bless them and it’ll work
for you I tell you I’m a living
testimony of this I’ve got my house paid
for I’ve got my cars paid for we don’t
owe any man anything except to love
another and I didn’t do it so I could
get those things I was very content with
everything that I had but I just started
using my money to bless other people and
to give and man God has blessed us
back you know in the last couple of
years I think it was last year we gave
away
150% of our annual income and this year
I’ve given away 200% of my annual income
now I can’t do that every year but this
is our attitude and we’ve been giving
out of our resources and stuff and I
guarantee you you just can’t outgive God
God is blessing my socks
off I know some of you you think you
can’t live that way well don’t wake me
up cuz this is how I’m
living I want to thank you for watching
our YouTube channel and the programs
