Kingdom Principles on Finances | June 8, 2025

Jesus is Lord,

It is with great joy that I bring you this message today.  This is our year of settlement—and one of the areas God is settling us is our finances.

Yes, God cares about your family, your health, your ministry—and yes, He cares about your finances too. That’s why we are starting this new teaching series on Kingdom Principles on Finances. My desire is to walk with you step-by-step as we understand what God’s Word truly says about money, stewardship, and Kingdom wealth.

“The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but the Word of the Lord shall remain forever.”

So many people have shied away from financial conversations in church—but Jesus didn’t. Even in His ministry, He had a treasurer. That tells us money matters. So let’s dive into four critical principles today:

1. Fight the Greed Mentality (Luke 12:15)

The Lord cautioned us: “Life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” Beloved, our worth is not determined by how much we own. If it were, Jesus would have used money to redeem us. But He used His own life. Let us pursue God, not just gain. Let us reject greed, and choose godly contentment.

2. Be Accountable and Responsible (Proverbs 27:23-27)

In the old times they said, Know the state of your flock. In today’s language—know your income, expenses, and plans. God gives us ideas, seeds, and opportunities. Cultivate them. Many of us have prayed for harvests we haven’t planted. But the harvest comes at the end, not the beginning.

“Money is called currency because it flows— Nobody holds it, it moves from one hand to another”

Every successful business you see started as an idea. Let God breathe on your idea and then commit to it with excellence.

3. Fight Poverty Mentality

Poverty doesn’t begin in the pocket—it begins in the mind. It’s not about where you come from, it’s about what you believe about where you’re going. Start small, yes, but don’t stay there. Don’t despise humble beginnings. Train your mind to think growth, speak vision, and walk by faith.

“Provision follows vision. Stop praying for money—start running with the vision.”

4. Kill Laziness, Embrace Diligence (Proverbs 13:4)

The soul of the lazy craves but gets nothing. Don’t say “there’s no money” while others are rising and making the money. There are so many business registrations happening every day in Kenya alone. What are you doing with the little you have? Excellence is not for the few—it is for the faithful.

“Even Apostle Paul said—these hands have supplied for me and those around me.” (Acts 20:34)

Whether you are doing ministry or in business, give it structure. Be diligent. Refuse to be idle. God has not called you to beg—He has called you to be a blessing.

Final Word

As we continue this journey together, remember: Wealth in the Kingdom is not just about accumulation—it’s about stewardship, faith, and responsibility. And above all, it’s about being a channel of blessing to others.

“Whenever you start something, give it your best—and give it structure.”

Thank you for walking this journey with us. May the Lord guide you, settle you, and increase you as you walk in His principles.
