Budgeting 100% to 1 Purpose

I call my approach to budgeting “100% budgeting.” 100 % budgeting is giving all that you are and all that you have to one purpose. Only one purpose in my life has ever inspired me to try to give everything for its cause. That purpose is revealed in the prayer that Jesus Christ prayed: “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.”

God’s viewpoint is truth. Mine is merely subjectivity. I need to continually set aside my point of view for His.

When people do “what is right in their own eyes,” (Judges 21:25) they disagree with each other. When they listen to and obey what the objective God reveals to them by His Spirit (and confirm what He says by what He said to the writers of the Bible) they find themselves moving closer and closer toward agreement.

“The kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21) Use “the keys of the kingdom,” (Matthew 16:19) to unlock your heart and let the King of glory come in (Psalm 24:7-9) to take full control of your life. Continually surrender your will to the will of the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. (Revelation 19:16)

If you want someone to take control and fix things, let that Someone be the risen Jesus. Let Him be your King and Lord. Welcome Him into your life and let Him take charge of what you think, say, and do.

Created objects reveal that a Creator is real. (Nothing makes itself.) Subjective human feelings didn’t create the complexities on earth. God did. Since God is real and He created all that exists, then He has the ability to put a thought in your mind. And if God puts a thought in your mind, then that thought isn’t from you. It’s objective, not subjective. It’s important to discern if a thought is from you or if it is from God.

Christians who are unaware of and/or unsubmitted to the invisible inner government of God, are missing the point of Jesus words: “Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.” (Mark 1:15) For the most part, contemporary Christians have neglected to inform people about the invisible inner kingdom of God and to train them to let King Jesus personally direct their life by His Spirit. So sad.

Every human hierarchy is flawed because it is made up of imperfect people. The only government that can be fully trusted is the kingdom of the living God directly ruling in your heart and overriding your desires, feelings, and opinions with His will.

People who are under a religious hierarchy are rarely trained (and even more rarely released) to be led by the Spirit. (Rom 8:14) Christ-followers need to budget 100% of all that we are and all that we have to letting God lead and empower us by His Spirit day and night so that we can live by the values of the kingdom of God rather than by the opinions of our culture. Give all your allegiance to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
