For years I have taught Right Direction Church International that there are no “get rich quick schemes” in THE KINGDOM OF GOD. These schemes and cons include gambling, guaranteed high returned investments and the latest scheme “Sou Sou.”

Until you learn to operate in both natural and kingdom principles of finances, someone will always find a way to con you out of your money by your hopes of getting “something for nothing” which is another unbiblical concept.

Here’s the kingdom strategy:

1. Tithe (10% of your income)
2. Sow (offering as you are able above the tithe)
3. Save
   a. Short term (payment of your current bills)
   b. Mid range (things that will be coming up I.e. car taxes, etc)
   c. Long term (children’s college education, retirement, etc.)
4. Spend (in order of progressive increase)
   a. Needs – a car
   b. Wants – an SUV
   c. Desires – A Cadillac Escalade
   Finally, live by these principles of scripture:
   Proverbs 28:20,22 NLT

[20] The trustworthy person will get a rich reward, but a person who wants quick riches will get into trouble.
[22] Greedy people try to get rich quick but don’t realize they’re headed for poverty.

Proverbs 28:20,22 KJV
[20] A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
[22] He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not
that poverty shall come upon him.

Proverbs 28:20,22 MSG
[20] Committed and persistent work pays off; get-rich-quick schemes are ripoffs.
[22] A miser in a hurry to get rich doesn’t know that he’ll end up broke.

Psalm 115:14 KJV
[14] The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
Little by Little

Exodus 23:30 NLT
[30] I will drive them out a little at a time until your population has increased enough to take possession of the land.

If you learn to do the natural and the spiritual, you can dominate in your finances without resorted to schemes or being taken advantage of. Take it from the boy from the projects of Jersey City, NJ.
