God’s Principles for Money, Stewardship & Generosity - Wednesday Bible Study| Bishop Henry Fernandez

📖 Key Scripture: Deuteronomy 8:18 (NLT) “Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful...” In this powerful teaching, we explore what the Bible says about money, stewardship, and generosity—and how God calls us to manage finances with wisdom, discipline, and a Kingdom mindset. Many pursue success, education, careers, and investments—and while there is nothing wrong with that, Scripture reminds us that success without God’s wisdom can still lead to poor stewardship. Money is not the problem—the love of money is. 📖 1 Timothy 6:10 (NIV) “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil...” 💡 KEY TRUTHS IN THIS MESSAGE: 💰 Money is a tool—not a master 📖 Matthew 6:24 — You cannot serve both God and money 💼 Faithful stewardship unlocks increase 📖 Luke 16:10 — Faithful in little, faithful in much 📊 Wisdom in planning brings prosperity 📖 Proverbs 21:5 — Good planning leads to success ⚠️ Avoid financial bondage 📖 Proverbs 22:7 — The borrower is servant to the lender 🙏 Giving is worship 📖 Malachi 3:10 — Bring the tithe into the storehouse ❤️ God loves a cheerful giver 📖 2 Corinthians 9:7 🌱 It is more blessed to give than to receive 📖 Acts 20:35 📈 GENEROSITY PRINCIPLES: • God blesses stewardship • Generosity unlocks increase • Kingdom giving produces eternal impact • Your finances are a tool for purpose, not fear 📖 Luke 6:38 — Give, and it will be given to you... 📖 Proverbs 11:24-25 — The generous soul will prosper 🔥 REFLECTION QUESTIONS: • Is money controlling me or am I controlling it? • Am I managing God’s resources wisely? • Am I living generously or fearfully? • Am I building only temporary wealth or eternal impact? 🙏 CLOSING DECLARATION: I will honor God with my resources.
