It is such an honour and a privilege to have our first dedicated partner on board with us that I want to share an excerpt from her book.
Sanyika Calloway Boyce is a speaker, author, financial intelligence and expert and radio show host but above all these accolades she is a wonderful woman of God. Her best-selling book for the youth : Cracking the code-What every college student should know about money will undoubtedly touch many peoples' lives but what profoundly touched my life was the ministry work she began and is less well known for. It is my prayer that through her partnership with us her message to God's people about Kingdom finance will spread and reach all those who are yearning to know God's purposes and plans.
This is an excerpt from her book 7 Steps to understand what God says about money, wealth and possessions:
God created you with a plan in mind.
Regardless of your current circumstances, in spite of what your life is like right now, you have every reason to believe that God's Plan for your life is perfectly clear. God wants us to develop a right attitude towards money, wealth and posessions. He has made us stewards of everything we own. Doesn't it make sense that He also gives us proper instruction about how to manage these things?
What does your life say about you? Could a non-beleiver look at all aspects of your life and see a clear difference? The world teaches people to rob God by becoming overworked and unwilling to give of their time and resources to anything. When you are so busy trying to keep pace with the world that you are no longer available for service, you are "of the world". Christians are called to be "in the world" but not of it.
Work is sacred. God designed all forms of work for His purposes and when we are obedient in the work we do to please Him, we are always rewarded. But those who are of the world work only for money and end up mis-using all their resources.
Through the work that you do, God wants you to have:
- Direction for your life
- deliverance from debt
- Knowledge of God's will for your finances
- Peace
- propserity in all areas of your life.
Today I give Lord Jesus all the honour and glory for bringing "True Love Waits" to Lesotho. This is only one project that our ministry is working on to change mindsets in Lesotho but it represents a tremendous breakthrough as the doors were never opened before for this programme to take root here. In our pastors' meeting this morning, a member of our advisory board said : "I think we have about 8 chapters to work on all at once but could we just concentrate on chapter 1 for today?" This was an extremely apt remark -so I am leaving chapter 1 in God's hands and waiting for His prefect timing to reveal when to move on to chapter 2. But i was so excited about chapter 8, revealed through Sanyika's partnership with us, that I couldn't help sharing it! Hope it blesses you as much as it blessed me.
