The Golden rule is  "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. The Golden rule is is endorsed by all the great world religions; Jesus, Hillel, and Confucius used it to summarize their ethical teachings. The golden rule is best interpreted as saying: "Treat others only in ways that you're willing to be treated in the same exact situation."

Their may be a revision of the Golden rule in 2006. He or she who has the Gold, rules. Carter G. Woodson, 1875-1950 said " In the first place, we need to obtain economic independence. You may talk about rights and all that sort of thing. the people who own this country will rule this country. they have done so and they always will". 

Economic Inequity

In 2002 The average net worth of families were

Black Family about $6,000.00

Hispanic Family $8,000.00

White Family   88,650.00

I find it quite interesting that the world believes in the principles of financial rule and authority. Many financial rulers follow the Biblical principle of finance. They tithe through generous foundations. The couple's Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has a 29 billion dollar endowment making it the world's biggest charity. Yet, many of the  financial rulers reject the person of Jesus Christ. The church embracesthe personal relationship with Jesus. Yet it reject the  principles of financial rule and authority.

The World's Billionaires  The collective net worth of the world's 691 billionaires is $2.2 trillion, up $300 billion from the combined net worths of the 587 people listed last year.

Prosperity is simply having enough of Gods provision to complete His Instructions for your assignment and  for your Life

Provision is one of the residuals God provides for His Obedient  servants. God will assign you to a person, people or place. However, the dream God gives you is usually too big... exceedingly above what you could ask or think  It  will usually take finances exceedingly above what you could ask or think  The word of the Lord to you is..... bring your finances in due order. 

You have to use Gods wisdom to finance your dream. The average person has a sphere of influence of people that range in the area of 250 people. Family, Friends, acquaintances etc. Start to exercise your gifts and express your needs to them at first....then start widening your sphere of influence as the need arises.

Your  destiny and legacy is filled with Greatness and the glory of God. God will not share the whole story with you. The destiny He has for you is so great that it will frighten you into a retreat. So, He is grooming you.

You will need a good Lawyer, CPA, Mentors, Prayer Intercessors, Failure, Success, Opposition to thrust you into your assignment and  greatness.

The average millionaire is Frugal characterized by or reflecting economy in the use of resources...

The average Millionaire spends

140.00 for a pair of shoes

drives an America automobile

buy off the rack suits 399.00

235.00 for a wrist watch

All of your finances belong to God. He returns 90% to you He then ask you to live the Musicians life more abundantly. ... floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.
Start your own business

Deuteronomy 8
18 But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.
Deut 12:11 He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment.

  • Invest up to 20% of your Income

.Mal 3:11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit," says the LORD Almighty. 12 "Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land," says the LORD Almighty

  • Get out of Debt

The average American($4,000.00) debt per year in more than the yearly income of the people in the world. Proverbs 22:7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. Rom 13:8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.

  • Reduce your personal expenses.

16 He gave you manna to eat in the desert, something your fathers had never known, to humble and to test you so that in the end it might go well with you. 17 You may say to yourself, "My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me." 18 But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today

  • Start planting Financial Seeds

Your seeds are not to be confused with your tithe...Matthew 23:23"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. Mark 10:29"I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields--and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life. 31But many who are first will be last, and the last first." Luke 6:38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." 2 Corinthians 9:Sowing Generously 6Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously..
