Bible Teaching On “Misunderstood Texts Relating To Debt And Prosperity”

In Terry's first book he tackled this whole subject, which he believes has held the body of Christ captive.

"I believe with all my heart the enemy has confused God’s people as they strive to obey God’s word".

Aim:

The aim is to set the people of God free from the yoke of bondage by explaining key scriptures together with God’s will for our lives.

You Will Learn:

• How to rightly divide the word.

• What the scripture teaches about borrowing.

• How the enemy twists parallel truths

• Harmonizing the Old Testament and the new.

• Balancing the prosperity scriptures.

Bible Teaching On “Breaking The Cycle Of Debt By Applying Wisdom”
The scripture teaches in Proverbs Chapter 17, Verse 16 “Of what use is money in the hands of a fool, since he has no desire to get wisdom”.

I feel very strongly the need to teach God’s people the balance of acquiring Wisdom as the “key to prosperity”. Could it not be that people are not prospering because they lack wisdom with respect to their finances?

You Will Learn:

• Don’t apply a formula, apply wisdom,

• Why are Christians not prospering.

• Do not give the devil a foothold.

• What is meant by the world’s system.

• Owe no man anything (scripture explained).

Bible Teaching On “Avoiding Get Rich Quick Theories”
I caution everyone attending this seminar to come with an open mind and be ready for a challenge to your Prosperity Theology. So many good, sincere Christians fall for this tactic of the enemy which is designed to “rob us of our faith”. I personally have not met anyone who has accumulated wealth overnight and who are still walking upright before God.

You Will Learn:

• Resist lottery Bible verses.

• Apply diligence to prosper.

• Seek Godly advice.

• Receive a dose of reality principles.

Biblical Teaching On Prayer, Planning And Patience
In today’s world we are being bombarded by the self help message. Whilst not endorsing all of this material, I have to admit that many of the principles being taught are in parallel with scripture and are helping millions worldwide.

However, as Christians we know we must “seek first the kingdom of God through prayer, believe in God for direction for our planning and trusting in God’s timing through patience.

You Will Learn:

• Prosperity prayer principles.

• How to be led by the Holy Spirit.

• Commit to planning.

• Pursuing knowledge.

Biblical Teaching On “Learning The Difference Between Being Prompted Or Pressured”
When it comes to biblical financial teaching we as responsible Christians must be very discerning in how we are being communicated with. I have witnessed a n incredible amount of manipulative tactics displayed by preachers who raise massive amounts of money for their own ministry and not for the local church.

We so need to hear God’s word with respect to finances, stewardship, debt and giving, however, I’ve been aggrieved by the way God’s people have been pressured to give.

You Will Learn:

• Learning to trust your inner man.

• The gift of discernment.

• Beware of manipulative gimmicks.

• Preparing for God’s prompting.

• Don’t respond to greed but to need

Terry says: "During my three years of Bible School, studying a whole range of subjects and a further four years of in depth study of the scriptures, I can honestly say that the privilege of learning about the Kingdom of God has been the most satisfying period of my life.

I have been so blessed to not only teach God's word but to learn from so many great men and women of God who have influenced my life since I became a Christian over twenty years ago".

However, I believe that the spiritual truths we so needed to know has left a real lack of balance as there has been so little 'Practical' Kingdom teaching to the Body of Christ. The story of Jacob reflects the character of the Nation of Israel, which is two fold, e.g.:

1. The desire for God
2. Practical Prosperity

The Jewish people are world renowned as a 'Religious Nation' and also a business nation. Although my years of study have been so enriching I can honestly say that if I had been taught 'Practical Prosperity Principles my learning would have been complete.

I have witnessed so many excited and enthusiastic men and women of God have all the spiritual knowledge and learning but sadly are dysfunctional in life. With this in mind, I have courses available on Practical Prosperity which can be added to the curriculum of your Bible School.

God will do his part in our lives, but there is a part we must play, both in terms of practical and wise application of His word."
