Biblical Principles Concerning Money

The Bible has a lot to say about money. Many are missing two great blessings. 1) the pleasure of giving and; 2) the reward of receiving.

In fact, the Bible has over 2,000 money-related verses.  We don’t expect you to read them all, but here are six key principles: 1) God owns it all; 2) Set long-term financial goals; 3) Spend less than you earn; 4) Avoid the dangers of debt; 5) Diversify investments; 6) Be generous.

Unlike your favorite TikToker’s new course on triple-leveraged real estate options… these biblical principles offer true wisdom 100% of the time.

But, you’ve got to understand them to put them into practice. SeYah delivers regular guidance on how to do this. Sign up through our link

 

 

Good Advice

 

King Solomon’s admonition to us in Ecclesiastes 7:16 is, in my opinion, of utmost importance.

We must also keep Ecclesiastes 7:17 in mind, because Solomon continues the thought begun with the warning against being over righteous and over wise: “Do not be over wicked, and do not be a fool— why die before your time?” And then verse 18 summarizes the lesson: “Whoever fears God will avoid all extremes.”

Putting it all together, Solomon is teaching moderation in all aspects of our life. Don’t be overly righteous, overly wise, overly wicked, or overly foolish. Chasing after extremes will not prolong one’s life or provide the satisfaction one desires.

If you are really righteous, you will use your time on earth helping improve the life of people in need. SeYah Humanitarian Program offers endless possibilities for serving God and man. 

 

 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?  Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’  And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

Identity Fad

 

   

The U.S. Education Department finalized controversial tweaks to Title IX on April 19, 2024. The new rules prohibit discrimination based on “gender identity.”

 

Where this bogus identity fad is headed in the near future. Some hourly wage employee of a large national corporation will decide one day that they "identify" as a Vice-President of the company and demand to be recognized and compensated as a Vice-President.

Of course the company will refuse and be hauled into Court for "identity discrimination." A liberal Federal Judge will side with the plaintiff. The company will appeal to the US Supreme Court and lose 7 to 2. The company will either close down or move out of the country. Ten of thousands of hard working Americans will lose their job, their benefits, and their retirement income.

Where is this identity fad coming from? It's part of the curses for disobedience outlined in Deuteronomy 28. God warned the world HE will not put up with disobedience forever, there is a judgment day coming... whether you believe it or not.

The Sanhedrin

 

What Was the Sanhedrin? By What Authority Did It Act?

“Appoint judges and enforcement officers in all your cities.”—Deuteronomy 16:18

Nine Groups That Made Up The Great Sanhedrin Council

Elders   -   Essenes   -   Herodians

John's Disciples   -   Pharisees   -   Priests

Sadducees   -   Scribes   -   Zealots

Who were the members of the Great Sanhedrin? What kind of power did they possess? Where did they meet? Were they the driving force that got Jesus crucified?

 

The Great Sanhedrin (which in Greek means 'a sitting together' or 'council') was the supreme council of the Jews who met within Jerusalem's temple in a place known as the chamber of hewn stones (although they sometimes met in the house of the High Priest). The Sanhedrin was like the U.S. Supreme court in that they were the final authority on decisions that affected the religious and political life of all Jews.

 

The council convened each day of the week except the Sabbath and the annual Biblical Holy Days. In New Testament times, the Sanhedrin was composed of seventy-one members (the High Priest, a vice chief justice and sixty-nine lower courts). The Pharisees (e.g. Nicodemus, John 3:1 - 10) as well as the Sadducees, scribes, elders and possibly others, were represented on the council. The High Priest always wore a black robe. 

The United States Supreme Court is made up of nine Justices and one Chief Justice (High Priest)  and operate the same way as the Sanhedrin did. They render opinions based on their interpretation of "legal and illegal" and "political correct" rather than the common sense law of right and wrong.

 

The simple black robe has quite a tradition as the "uniform" of justice in the United States dating back to Deuteronomy. The black robe links judges together as they interpret and apply the law in hundreds of courtrooms throughout the United States. 

 

Tower of Babel

 

 

Organized religion is the modern day equivalent of the Tower of Babel. Organized religion says we need to get it together to find God. Jesus says we need to find God to get it together. The "know-it-all-we-are-the-one-and-only" type religious organizations do the Gospel of the Kingdom great harm.

 

“Woe to you, scribes (Bible translators) and Pharisees, hypocrites! (self-righteous preachers), For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte (a new believer), and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves." (with false doctrines) ~ Matthew 23:15 

Jesus said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes." (people with a sincere humble spirit to learn the truth) ~ Matthew 11:25 

 

The Church Jesus built is not an earthly organization. It is found in the hearts of true Believers who seek first the Kingdom of God.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,  that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. ~ 2 Timothy 3:14-17

Great Day of the Lord

 

Zephaniah is a book of the Bible that is seldom read. However, God gave Zephaniah insight on what will happen when the day of the LORD is near.

The word of the Lord which came to Zephaniah 1:14 -19

The great day of the Lord is near; (the Lord has spoken). It is near and hastens quickly (quicker than we think). The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter; (a resentful, angry feeling towards God's word) There the mighty men shall cry out. (power comes from God not our own arrogance, experience, or strength.

 

That day is a day of wrath, (righteous judgment).A day of trouble and distress, (everyone who does evil will suffer trouble and distress). A day of devastation and desolation, (infrastructure destroyed and people dying young). A day of darkness and gloominess, (mental illness and anxiety. A day of clouds and thick darkness, (God's word is hidden in thick darkness to unbelievers).

 

A day of trumpet and alarm (ignoring God's warnings). Against the fortified cities (relying on military power for protection). And against the high towers (thinking there is safety in modern buildings or bomb shelters).
