Your Personal Finances are Personal Except When it's about Community

No one who has more than enough money or not enough of it likes to discuss personal finances. Why? It's embarrassing. It makes people uncomfortable. It's PERSONAL forgodsake!

However personal it is, everyone wants more. Right? Now, let's get impersonal for a moment.Okay, maybe it's personal, but since God said it (See Malachi 3:7-12), let's discuss it here.

God never intended the worldly government to take care of the poor. There, I said it. Now, don't go throwing away the social crutches before the leg is healed. After all, there may always be a portion of the population that chooses to remain poor. Why? Wealth requires effort! That effort first requires wisdom. And wisdom comes from God.

Let's not confuse intelligence with wisdom. Intelligence is knowing your options. Wisdom is knowing which is the best option to choose for long-term success in peace.

Those who develop themselves are required by God to share ten percent of their income with the poor (church or charity). Mind you, the church should not be poor (preferably) but it should feed the poor (food, clothing, shelter, wisdom through God's word). That ten percent we give systematically every time we get paid is called a tithe.

Tithing is God's way of leveraging. God owns 100% of everything on earth, yet asks that we share only ten percent of our income AND time with what concerns God. Support your local synagogue or church first, then send an additional offering to the charity of your choice.

Giving to GOD's temple first wraps the gift with prayer and hope for you, your family, and the poor. Sometimes that poor person is you (lacking health, wisdom, and/or integrity) and you don't even know it. But you'll be covered and God will then find subtle ways to help realign you.

God promises that if we (including the poor) read the word of God (Torah/Bible) daily, we will increase in wisdom. As we increase in wisdom, we get business ideas and career guidance which inevitably leads to more income and greater wealth.

That is ultimately, God's solution to end poverty. But we each must do our part. Giving (only) money to the poor keeps them poor. But giving them a warm meal, a bible, and a financial gift gives them hope and a future. Bringing them to temple or church to get their soul refreshed and encouraged for themselves, well that's just showing off. Now you've just forced God's Hand to bless you. And when God blesses you, life gets really good.

It's only ten percent of your time and ten percent of your money. You'll always have it to give if you choose to do it. Yet the returns (ROI) on your time, money, health, and faith will simply amaze you!

Activate Your Purpose & Discover Your Inner Masterpiece!


Face it. Until you got potty trained and learned how to walk and talk, you were just a cute ball of clay. Twenty, thirty, forty or even fifty years later, unless you've developed, you're just dust taking up space. But there is good news! It's not a race. You're not competing with anyone. After all, who can compete with you at being you? No one can; that's who!

Yet LORD, You are our GOD; we are the clay, and You are our potter; we all are the work of Your hands. Isaiah 64:8

But you were never designed to go it alone. The Creator of the Universe is simply waiting for you to "activate" your heart and mind OR in tech terms "register" with the manufacturer, GOD. By doing so, you allow the Creator of Heaven and Earth to activate your God given destiny.  You become aware of your natural gifts and talents. You also become more aware of the steps needed to fulfill your purpose here on earth.

13 For You have created my conscience.
You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise You, for I am awesomely, wonderfully made! Wonderful are Your works— and my soul knows that very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Psalm 139:13-15


How do you "register" your creation? Glad you asked! You "register" through God's redemption plan. You've heard of it. It's called salvation.

And everyone who calls upon the name of the LORD will be delivered. For as the LORD has said, 'In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, the survivors whom the LORD is calling.' Joel 2:32

Once, redeemed, the "Master Potter" aka the LORD GOD, Creator of heaven, earth, and you, takes your ball of clay and goes to work.You were designed with a definite purpose. Why guess? There is a reason why you are here. You are a living piece to God's universal puzzle. And GOD knows exactly where you fit. No one is lost. Many are just unaware. But GOD always sees the bigger picture!

Adonai your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants—to love Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul, in order that you may live. Deuteronomy 30:6

A single drop of water joined with other tiny drops of water makes an ocean and can carry ocean liners. The acorn grows to become a mighty oak tree. The caterpillar eventually becomes a beautiful and colorful butterfly. And so it is with you. You are just another human clay form until you "activate" your masterpiece.


16 Your eyes saw me when I was unformed,and in Your book were written the days that were formed when not one of them had come to be.17 How precious are Your thoughts, O God! How great is the sum of them! 18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand! When I awake, I am still with You. Psalm 139:16-18

Here's the "Soul Activation" aka Salvation Prayer so many seek. Say it aloud to activate the BEST of you. Lucky you. You found it. Congratulations.


Dear LORD GOD, Creator of Heaven and earth. I repent of my sins. I renounce satan and his works of darkness. Into Your Hand I commit my whole life. Wash me clean. Restore my soul. I accept your free yet precious gift of salvation. As my personal LORD and Saviour, I now allow your sweet Holy Spirit to guide my heart and mind  daily to fulfill my divine purpose. Thank you for redeeming me Oh LORD GOD of truth. Guide me all the days of my life. Amen. 

Congratulations! Your soul has just been "activated" a.k.a. redeemed. Today, you are smarter than an apple iPhone.


Easy. Right? Please share it.
