We can only conquer finances through the Gospel




Acts 5:1~11 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. With his wife''s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles'' feet. (1~2)

 If our finances are difficult, everything will become difficult, including our walk of faith. However, money and finances will only follow if the conditions are met. The Early Church’s finances had a condition by which circumstances had no choice but to be difficult. The Early Church was completely broken off from society. However, the believers of the Early Church had one background that overturned this condition. Precisely speaking, they knew the true Gospel. The true Gospel makes the problems of Satan, curses and idols depart. Answers, change, strength and answers of uniqueness absolutely result from the true Gospel. In addition, only the true Gospel can conquer finances. Then, why are things not working for us even though we have the true Gospel? This is the case because even though the Gospel is true and correct, we continue to concentrate on other things, mix in our own motives and use the Gospel. The Early Church had three conditions to conquer finances.





1. They were one (oneness) inside the Gospel
 The Early Church was one (oneness) inside the Gospel and started by saving the church. This is a very powerful strength. The day people become one (oneness) in the Gospel, the Holy Spirit works most powerfully. Oneness is not a collaboration or ‘together.’ It means ‘one inside the Gospel.’ We can truly become one inside the Gospel. As the members of the Early Church helped each other and performed relief work, the poor disappeared. The Early Church had many disciples who laid out all their inheritance. A small strength had gathered together but the works of saving the entire world arose. These are the works that arise when we become one inside the Gospel.





2. They saved the field with the Gospel
 The Early Church members were people who saved the field no matter where they went. If we surely become people who save the field, finances will absolutely follow. If we save people no matter where we go and what we do, we have no choice but to succeed. Finances naturally follow true success. God has absolutely prepared hidden finances for the Gospel, evangelism, missions and especially the future descendants. The Early Church members were witnesses who discovered and experienced this mystery.





3. A great power appeared through the church
God’s power appeared inside the Gospel. Through the disciples of the Early Church, signs and miracles appeared, great revival arose, and people with diseases and the demon-possessed were healed. Ultimately, finances are revived when people are revived. Although the Early Church possessed nothing, they conquered finances with this mystery.
