INSIGHT

Wealth Is A Stewardship Not A Sin

  • Money and possessions are not inherently sinful but are responsibilities entrusted by God.
  • Costi Hinn points to Abraham, Job, David, and Solomon as wealthy believers whom Scripture doesn't condemn, stressing stewardship over demonizing wealth.
ADVICE

Avoid Buying From Covetous Comparison

  • Avoid purchases rooted in covetousness by checking whether desire comes from comparison rather than contentment.
  • Costi cites Philippians and Hebrews to show contentment is learned and buying from envy or flexing betrays a heart problem.
ADVICE

Do Not Use Money As Your Refuge

  • Do not let money become your source of security; evaluate if possessions have replaced God as your refuge.
  • Costi references Proverbs and the parable of the rich fool in Luke to show trusting riches leads to spiritual ruin.
