Attitudes and Strategies

Right on the Money, 4: Attitudes and Strategies

The Big Idea: How you handle money is an outward indicator of an inward condition.

Attitudes guide STRATEGY.

4 Attitudes That Drive Financial Strategy:
1. GRATITUDE Ephesians 1:1-14

Strategy: you RECEIVE and you WORSHIP in one motion.
Malachi 3:10-12

The faithfulness with which you tithe is probably why you're BROKE.

2. DILIGENCE Proverbs 6:6-11

Strategy: you SAVE.

Spending more money than you make isn't just FOOLISH, It's SINFUL.

The amount you save is probably why you're STRESSED.

3. CONTENTMENT Philippians 4:11-13

Strategy: you spend less than 80% of what you receive.

Proverbs 21:5

The amount you spend is probably why you rarely GIVE or SAVE.

4. GENEROSITY John 3:16

Strategy: You use your margin to ENCOURAGE others.

The help you give others is probably why you're UNFULFILLED.

A Strategic Formula For Money:
1. Stop arguing with God about the TITHE.
2. Identify how much you RECEIVE from the Lord.
3. Give God your FIRST FRUITS.
4. Start a SAVINGS regiment.
5. Never spend more than 80% of what you receive.

Luke 16:10-13
