Part 1 Defining our value of money

David’s Prayer

 ¹⁰ David praised the LORD in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,   “Praise be to you, LORD,
   the God of our father Israel,
   from everlasting to everlasting.
¹¹ Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power
   and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
   for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, LORD, is the kingdom;
   you are exalted as head over all.
¹² Wealth and honor come from you;
   you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
   to exalt and give strength to all.
¹³ Now, our God, we give you thanks,
   and praise your glorious name.
 ¹⁴ “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.

Money is a spiritual thing (v.11-12)


Main Principle: God owns everything
Any sense of expression of spending money that God's owns everything.

"If you believe you own a particular possession then the circumstances surrounding that possession will affect your attitude. If it is favorable situation, you will be happy. If its a difficult circumstance you will be discontent". - Howard Dayton

Our lives are governed by natural laws and operations like sow and reap.


Lordship. Jesus is Lord
The Holy Spirit coming into a believer gives you the ability to say, "Jesus you are lord, You are my owner, my master. Everything i am and have is under your disposal." It involves everything we are and have.

Luke 14:25-33

New International Version (NIV)

The Cost of Being a Disciple

 ²⁵ Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: ²⁶ “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple. ²⁷ And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.   ²⁸ “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? ²⁹ For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, ³⁰saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
   ³¹ “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? ³² If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. ³³ In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.

Put your life under God's control for your blessings to come into place.


Lordship says: "Jesus I am committed to you and your values with all my heart. All i have and that I am is at your disposal."

The Parable of the Bags of Gold

    ¹⁴ “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. ¹⁵ To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,^[a] each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.


Be faithful with what you have no matter how small.

Luke 16:10-12

New International Version (NIV)

   ¹⁰ “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. ¹¹ So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? ¹² And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?


What you do with what has given will have bearing on how God will do with you spiritually.

   ¹³ “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

Prosperity is not having too much but being able to be provided the right amount to survive through God.
