Jehovah Needy or Jehovah Jireh? Take a moment to be honest with yourself. Do those around you perceive your God to be a giver or a taker? Is he a God who provides or one who impoverishes? One who demands provision from you or abundantly supplies provision to you? YOU WERE CREATED TO BE A STEWARD OF THE RICH GOD! Close examination of God's Word reveals that the children of God are not called to he proprietors; they are called to be faithful stewards. As a mature child of God, you must learn to stop viewing the redistribution of wealth that God puts under your control as giving. Understand that everything God puts in your control comes as a blessing so that you, in return, can be a blessing. As a steward of God's resources, you have the authority and responsibility to attend to others needs just as Jesus did. Jesus made it very clear in John 14:12, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." As you fulfill the desires of the Rich God by properly redistributing His wealth, you will access one of the most powerful keys to unlocking your personal financial success! In this revealing new book, Dr. John Avanzini brings many truths to light, including:How success begins with an accurate perception of GodWhy the world's system of borrowing and lending will never produce financial freedomWhy the principle of redistribution is vital to your successInaccurate doctrines that may influence your perception of GodGod's scriptural plan for rapidly eliminating debtWhy stewardship is the foundation for financial success24 indispensable keys to living a debt-free life PERCEPTION IS NOT NECESSARILY REALITY. Just because you perceive something a certain way doesn't mean it's true. In Rich God Poor God, Dr. John Avanzini shows you how certain misperceptions of God can put a stranglehold on your financial future. Too often, people are deceived into thinking that what they perceive is the basis for truth. However, consider this example of how misleading your perception can be. If five blindfolded men tried to describe an elephant, they could not do an adequate job, even if each one carefully described the part he was touching. One might describe the tail as a broom or the leg as a tree. The trunk might feel like a hose or the ear like a fan. Maybe the elephant's side would seem like a large wall. These perceptions would be incorrect in defining a true composite picture of the elephant. In the same way, if your perceptions of God are wrong your view of Him will be distorted. Scripture abounds with verses that clearly describe God's nature to give. Therefore, as beings created in His image, our nature should also be to give. However, if we mistakenly believe God to be a taker, we will subconsciously begin to conform to this incorrect image of God, causing us to become takers. Dr. Avanzini provides proof from God's Word that will help you have an undistorted perception of the Almighty God of heaven. By reading this book, you will see that Jehovah Jireh is the Rich God who abundantly gave to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. This same Rich God gave staggering amounts of wealth to David and Solomon. He gave immeasurable wealth to His Son, Jesus Christ, who stands ready to give to you in such a way that you will want for nothing! Armed with this information, you will be in a position to fulfill your scriptural duty as a steward of God. The shocking truth is that a real steward of God never has anything to lose! Everything that has been placed under his control belongs to God. In giving, releasing, and sowing, the faithful steward realizes the fulfillment of the abundance of God that is so richly promised!
