Kingdom Economic Power

"Remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth" (Deuteronomy 8:18). This course addresses a rarely taught subject: the economic dimension of the advancement of God's Kingdom.

The diagnosis: inadequate resources

The course begins with an honest diagnosis of the Church's financial problems: ever-growing needs in local churches, insufficient tithes and offerings, projects blocked by lack of money, hindered missionary efforts, and a Church sometimes reduced to a beggar's mentality.

Added to this is an ineffective use of available resources: lack of financial planning, absence of budgeting and management, immature leaders who "spiritualize" resource management, and poor decisions, while the world manages its resources well to accomplish its objectives.

God's challenge or humanity's problem?

The central question of the course is provocative: has God not made sufficient provision for His church? Has the Creator, who owns all resources, failed to provide? The biblical answer is clear: the problem is not God's provision, but human understanding and management.

What you will discover in this course

  • The biblical diagnosis of the Church's financial challenges
  • Deuteronomy 8:18 and the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30) applied to Kingdom affairs
  • The principles of divine provision: tithe, offering, seed, and multiplication
  • Budgeting and financial management in the church and ministry
  • How Christian entrepreneurship can finance mission

"He gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant." — Deuteronomy 8:18

A course of burning relevance

Between the gospel of poverty and the excesses of the prosperity gospel, this course traces a balanced biblical path: God gives the power to get wealth in order to establish His covenant. Resources exist for mission, not for ego.

Who is this course for?

For church and ministry leaders, treasurers and administrators, Christian entrepreneurs, and every child of God who wants to place their finances at the service of God's plan. Provision and management according to the Kingdom concern every Christian household, every disciple of Jesus, not only organizations.
