It is the wealth consciousness that allows one to acquire material returns from worthy efforts. Wealth is a responsibility, and a patent inability to realize the essence and enormity of that responsibility has led many people off a spiritual and financial cliff. Money can bring out the best in someone, yet bring out the worst in another. If you see yourself as the owner, rather than the manager of money, wealth will lead you straight into trouble. However, if you remain in sober awareness of the fact that you're just a steward of what God owns, then you have every right to enjoy the blessing and benefits of that gift. For the Christian entrepreneur, financial wisdom is the key.
