Today i would like to share with you the biblical money code.This is not about getting rich quick but it's not about playing it safe either. This
code has been used by successful investment giants including Warren Buffet and
John Templeton, to accrue billions. The "Biblical Money Code" guides
investors through the confusing attitudes regarding money and wealth by looking
at what the Bible actually says about how we are to use the resources we have
been given.
For the love of money
is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from
the faith and pierced themselves with many pains (1 Timothy 6:10).
Money is not evil
The Bible does not say
money is evil, but it's the love of money that leads people to make poor
investment choices that can lead people into "wealth-stealing
investments," or the "fear-and-greed" market cycles that often
leave people destitute. The video takes a look at King Solomon and the wisdom
found in Proverbs. Those who want to honor God with their money can learn how
to become wealthy without falling in love with money. It starts with
"looking well" into your investments which is based on Proverbs 14.
People are hungry to
learn how to honor God with their money, and the video has gone viral. Not only
does it teach Sean's three-prong system for investing, and his "12-12-12
plan for investing" – he does it for free. It's a clear example of his
giving to bless others which he also talks about
1.Recognize
God's will.
Recognize that God wants to make you rich (3
John 2, Proverbs 10:22).
Recognize that Jesus died to make you rich (2
Corinthians 8:9).
Recognize that God will supply your needs
(Philippians 4:19).

. Recognize that the number one way to prosperity is that God will lead you so
that you must follow your conscience.
You have fantastic
talents and abilities, and God can show you exactly what you must do. You might
be laid off but get a raise in your new job. On these occasions God's Spirit
gives a witness in your spirit on what career to pursue -- and you can prosper
by following your conscience (and leadership of the Holy Spirit). In the times
that you have such a witness, get alone and pray seriously each day, for
several days before, to be sure that God was witnessing to your conscience.
Notice that Abraham obeyed the leading of God in Genesis 12:4. Proverbs 4:23,
"Above all things keep your heart [listen to the "small still
voice" within you] for out of it are the issues of life." Read
Galatians 3:13-14 and Romans 8:16-17.

Be a specialist in your career:
Manage the money you make and learn the
investment cycles. Now for the three types of money in the Bible and the three
secrets to prosperity: after Abraham followed God (Genesis 12:4), God prospered
Abraham in Genesis 13:2 with cattle (his career), silver (the money he made)
and gold (investments).
The cattle represents
your career and notice that this comes first in The Bible.The secret to your
career is to become a specialist. Proverbs 13:15 says that "good
understanding gives favor". You must get your college degree and stick
with the same career to become a specialist. Proverbs 12:8 says that a man
shall be commended for his prudence, not for his hard work. You must learn to
"work smarter, not just harder." Notice that in Proverbs 24:27, God
wants you to establish your career before you get married. Deuteronomy 8:18, "But remember the Lord
your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so
confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today."
The silver represents
managing the money you make and the Bible secret is to live on a budget.
Proverbs 21:17 says that "he who loves pleasure will be poor". You
must balance your bills with your income. Also use credit wisely because
proverbs 22:7 says that "the borrower is slave to the lender".
Next is the gold and
this represents an investment. The Bible has a lot to say about investment
cycles. Forty years in the Bible is considered to be a generation.For instance, "in
the 40th year" (after the exodus) the Israelites entered the promise land
(Deut. 1:3). Moses was 80 years old at
the exodus. He had just spent 40 years in the desert, and before that---40
years in Egypt, (Acts 7:23-30). He died in the "the 40th year,"
(after the exodus, Num. 33:38). Thus, Moses life was divided into 3 equal
periods of 40 years.
This formula highlights
the creation pattern of the seventh day as set apart as special. Moreover, a
period of 40 or 100 years is considered to be a generation in the bible. (The
significance of the 100 years appears in the 4th and 5th 'steps'.) The bible
frequently mentions 40-year periods. The 40 years the Israelites spent in the wilderness
after they came out of Egypt is particularly pertinent to our study. The exodus
from Egypt was in 1446 BC. God said that that year was to be the beginning of a
new calendar for them, (Ex. 12:2). Events thereafter were dated from the exodus
until at least the time of King Solomon.
For instance, "in
the 40th year" (after the exodus) the Israelites entered the promise land
(Deut. 1:3). Moses was 80 years old at
the exodus. He had just spent 40 years in the desert, and before that---40
years in Egypt, (Acts 7:23-30). He died in the "the 40th year,"
(after the exodus, Num. 33:38). Thus, Moses life was divided into 3 equal
periods of 40 years.
King Solomon began to
build the temple "in the 480th year" (after the exodus, 1Kg. 6:1).
Now, 480 equals 12 x 40 years, or 12 generations. Solomon himself reigned 40
years, as did his father David, and King Saul before him. Many more examples
could be given, but the point is this: The ongoing 40-year cycles of the
360-prophetic calendar are clearly found in the bible; and moreover, they begin
at the start of a new calendar reference point inaugurated at the exodus, (Ex.
12:2). Even more significantly, the conception/birth of Christ is exactly 36 (6
x 6) generations later, or 36 x 40 years, or 360 x 4. (I.e., from 1446 to 6
BC). Both 36, 4, 360, and 40 are prime calendar numbers. Many more examples
could be cited.

Associate with people that inspire you and teach you to prosper.
It is important to note that Lot who
traveled with Abraham also prospered in his career due to the law of
association. Lot did not manage the money he made; all of his workers were
drunk and fought with Abraham's men, and the two had to go different paths. Lot
lost everything in Genesis 19 because Lot did not learn to follow his
conscience, be a specialist, manage the money he made nor learn investment
cycles. This goes to show that you can be blessed by the law of association but
unless one matures spiritually, one will always be driven with circumstances
(Abraham ignored circumstances Romans 4:19).
Major verses that show
economic and housing cycles in the Bible are Genesis 41, Proverbs 22:2-3,
Ecclesiastes 3:2,6 and the Early Church that sold their homes before a huge
recession under Claudius Caesar.
Proverbs 22:2-3,
"Rich and poor
have this in common:
The Lord is the Maker
of them all.
The prudent see danger
and take refuge,
but the simple keep
going and pay the penalty".
Ecclesiastes 3:1,3,6,
"There is a time
for everything,
and a season for every
activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a
time to die,
a time to plant and a time
to uproot,
a time to search and a
time to give up,
a time to keep and a
time to throw away".

Review:
The three types of money in Abraham's
life was the cattle, the silver and the gold. They represent your career,
managing the money you make including investments. The ideals are to become a
specialist in your career, live on a budget (plan) and investment cycles.
