JOYCE MEYER STATED THAT WHY DON’T YOU MAKE A DECISION TO START TODAY PREPARING FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO HAVE IN THE FUTURE. DO YOU WANT TO RETIRE COMFORTABLY AND NOT HAVE TO DEPEND ON THE SOCIAL SECURITY THAT MAY NOT BE THERE AND EVEN IF IT WAS, WON’T BE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT YOU? JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES SAYS THEN START SAVING NOW. “WELL, IF I DO THAT, THEN I’LL HAVE TO DO WITHOUT SOMETHING.” COME ON NOW. INVEST! JUST THINK HOW MUCH MONEY EVERY ONE OF YOU WOULD HAVE IF SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE TAUGHT YOU WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE JUST EVERYTHING YOU GET YOUR WHOLE LIFE, JUST PUT FIVE PERCENT OF IT IN SAVINGS.
JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES STATED THAT JUST IMAGINE HOW MUCH YOU’D HAVE NOW. ONCE YOU DIE TO THAT MONEY, THERE’S NO PAIN. IF YOU’VE ALREADY MADE A DECISION TO BECOME A TITHER AND YOU’VE SET ASIDE THAT TEN PERCENT OF YOUR INCOME TO GIVE TO THE WORK OF GOD, IF I RECEIVE AN OFFERING AND I’M TALKING TO YOU ABOUT GIVING, IF YOU HAVE SOME TITHING MONEY LEFT OR SOME GIVING MONEY LEFT IN YOUR POCKET, YOU DON’T CARE, YOU’LL GIVE IT, BUT WHAT IF GOD WANTS TO GET IN YOUR SHOPPING POCKET? HA, HA, HA, HA, HA. I COULDN’T EVEN GET A GOOD LAUGH OUT OF THAT. JOYCE MEYER ONLINE SAYS THAT WAS PATHETIC! DON’T WORRY, I’M NOT GONNA TAKE ANOTHER OFFERING. YOU DON’T HAVE TO GET NERVOUS. (laughing)
SEE, ONCE YOU DECIDE I’M GONNA SAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF EVERYTHING THAT COMES IN AND YOU’RE CONSISTENT WITH THAT, YES, IT WILL TAKE TIME BUT YOU CAN’T BE IMPATIENT. YOU HAVE TO LOOK TO THE FUTURE, BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? TOMORROW ALWAYS COMES. DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A LONG, ENERGETIC, HEALTHY LIFE? DO YOU WANT TO FEEL GOOD? HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO FEEL A LOT BETTER THAN WHAT YOU DO? WELL, START TAKING BETTER CARE OF YOURSELF.
Joyce Meyer – It’s heartbreaking. I recently spoke at a conference up in seattle called “Christian musicians summit” — 6,000 people — it was a 3-day conference.
