Grace to Grow

This episode continues the fourth financial principle: gain contentment. This is something that must be learned, and gratitude is a vital part of this process. Actually, all of us already have everything we need to be happy and content. Contentment is wanting what I have, not having what I want.

The third financial principle is to go to work. Laziness is a scourge of society, but God honors hard work. Many are the benefits received by those who are diligent in their life. The fourth financial principle, gain contentment, is introduced and will continue in the next episode.

The second way we give to God is through our offerings. This is what we give above and beyond the tithe. As tithing shows our obedience, the offering shows our love and gratitude to God. The third way we give to God is through alms—giving to others.

Continuing the subject of tithing, this episode shows the main reason we should tithe—to help us learn the fear of the Lord. There is a vast array of benefits from having the fear of the Lord. Tithing also brings many other rewards to the child of God.

This episode covers the first financial principle: God owns everything. All that we have comes from Him. We are simply managing it for Him. Therefore, we should consult with Him about everything we do with His possessions.

We all think about money every day. The way we manage our finances significantly affects our thinking, family, and relationships. This episode is the beginning of a series of lessons on essential financial principles found in God's Word.

In this episode, Pastor Wilkerson lays the Biblical foundation for the following series on financial principles.

When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, they brought a curse upon themselves. Yet, in His love, God made a commitment to continue His relationship with them. Because of this, and their commitment to each other, they enjoyed great blessings throughout their lifetime.

Confessing faults is awkward. So, we offend our spouse and just expect them to ignore it. However, like confessing sin to God, we should “fess up” when we offend our spouse. In this episode, Pastor Wilkerson explains the importance of confession in marriage.

Connection between a husband and wife is a key ingredient to a God-honoring marriage. The world, the flesh, and the Devil are in a constant battle to destroy the connection in marriages. In this episode, Pastor Wilkerson shares some Biblical principles on this subject.

In marriage, God has given us communication to connect emotionally and marital intimacy to connect physically. Tune in to this episode to learn how powerful these Biblical principles are in the marital journey.

We learn from Genesis 2:25 that marriage is the only relationship on earth that has absolute physical, emotional, and spiritual openness. Truly understanding and exercising this principle will help us foster a marital relationship that brings glory to God.

Authority, submission, and unity are key principles in any successful marriage. In this episode, Pastor Wilkerson gives an encouraging message on prioritizing the marital relationship.

Hebrews 13:4 says, “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” The intimate relationship between a man and woman is a gift of God reserved for marriage. God purposefully intended it to be so. In this episode, Pastor Wilkerson shares Biblical principles to strengthen our marriages and dwell with each other according to knowledge.

After God created the earth, He chose to place man and woman in the garden and give them responsibilities, rules, and relationships. In this episode we learn how these are the foundation for a Christ-honoring marriage.

We finally arrive on the last day of Creation! It is a wonderful thought to recognize God's overwhelming love, as we study and meditate about our eternal rest in Heaven. Jesus himself went to prepare a mansion for us and will return soon, to rapture His church for all of eternity! John 14:1-4.

We learn in Genesis 2:26 that God created man in His own image. What a joy it is to understand that we were created as a trichotomy and in the image of our Almighty God! Day 6 of Creation represents the stature of the fullness of Christ in the life of a believer, and it reveals to us the overwhelming love and passionate desire of our heavenly Father for us, His children.

Where would we be as Christians, would it not be for God's supernatural grace? We learn from the fifth day of creation that our Savior enables us, through His grace, to walk through the pains and difficulties of life. What a joy to remember that God will guide and help us to walk worthy of our vocation! 

Ephesians 2:9-10 says , " Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” We know through God’s Word that our service does not save us, yet a life of service stems from a grateful heart for all God has done in our lives. Learn a few practical principles that will help you serv...

On the third day of creation, God saw it good for his creation to bring forth fruit. He also desires for us, as his children, to reproduce spiritual fruit for His glory. The last commandment of Christ should be our priority!

From Genesis 1:6-8, we learn how God created the firmament to divide the waters. As we strive to live for Christ, we must remember that we are called to a life of separation from sin, for His glory!

In Genesis chapter 1, we learn how God created light, saw that it was good, and divided it from darkness. God is the Creator of the world, and in our current day, He allows mankind to be a "new creature" through the light of the Gospel. What a joy that the Creator of all is still working today!
