Money Talks | Part 3

Duane Sheriff Ministries - Messages

In the third part of the series "Money Talks," Brother Duane teaches the four pillars of biblical prosperity: work, stewardship, discipline, and giving. These principles work together to create a balanced approach to financial blessing, focusing on cultivating a giving heart.

The first pillar, work, is presented as a God-given principle for prosperity. Brother Duane emphasizes the importance of developing a strong work ethic, especially when teaching children and grandchildren.

Stewardship, the second pillar, involves wisely managing what one has and controlling desires for what one doesn't have. Good stewardship applies to both possessions and attitudes.

The third pillar, discipline, illustrated in Proverbs 6:6-11, encourages readers to learn diligence from the work ethic of an ant. There is a for financial discipline, including budgeting, saving, and avoiding unnecessary debt.

The fourth pillar, giving, is a supernatural principle that leads to blessing. Proverbs 11:24-25 states that those who give generously will prosper. In Acts 10:1-4, Cornelius' prayers and almsgiving are described as a "memorial before God."

Giving is not just about money but about the attitude of the heart. Tithing under the New Covenant is not about legalism but honoring Jesus as our High Priest "after the order of Melchizedek" (Hebrews 7).

Brother Duane encourages believers to apply these principles in their lives. God blesses those who follow His financial wisdom. Giving not only blesses others but also lays up treasures in heaven, as taught in Matthew 6:20.
