The Bible and Money


When I wake up in the morning I give thanks to the all mighty. Our creator has given us laws that we cannot see. Some of these laws the law of gravity, or what goes on inside the anatomy of the human when we get hurt and the cells work against each other then they start working together to heal the body, or like the law of attraction.

I have some biblical verses that go beyond the law of attraction and are giving me the best results I have ever had. Matthew 13:12 “whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them” Here is where the parable of the sower was shared by Jesus. Not to mention he also compares the Kingdom of heaven to a wealthy let’s see the story Mathew 25: 14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 18 But he that had received one went and dogged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Notice verse 29 here in the story and see how a productive person gets more. That is why the rich gets richer and the poor remain poor. If you want to come out of poverty you need to start being productive and see how God himself will help you and give you more according to your capacity. You can become more and more capable as you gain wisdom and experience. Be grateful for what you have and God will give you more to be grateful for.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
What about the part where he tell the bad servant that he should of put the talent in the bank or give it to the bankers? You see that the bible does talk about finances and investments. You see that the kingdom of heaven requires for you to be a good steward of the money that you earn.
I have been grateful for the way I see money now. All of my possessions belong to God my creator. He giveth and he taketh away, let all the glory be to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
All the Best
