PASTOR DANYELLE SCROGGINS: Building Wealth with Divine Principles

Thousands flood social media, stages, emails, and coaching sessions with promises of wealth-building secrets.

Many leverage their influence to draw you into systems designed not only for your enrichment but significantly for their own. But get this, all are operating upon one of the greatest Christian principles given to get you to a place of abundance.

Many utilize a fundamental Christian principle to amass wealth. This principle is encapsulated in Luke 6:38 (KJV), which states: “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will men give into your bosom. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you again.” The Message Bible simplifies this to ‘Generosity begets generosity.’

Think it not strange or unfathomable that people will share the secrets of how they became wealthy. Some of them have tapped into Christian principles that works for man whether they are believers or not. There was a time when piecing together two nickels felt like an insurmountable task. Every time I almost had them, life’s demands would snatch a piece away. It wasn’t until I embraced the power of principles that my financial journey found solid ground.

Don’t get me wrong, I did not start getting these nuggets when I began seeking. Some of them were handed down to me from generations of women who loved God, and not owing anyone. My grandmother would say, “Owe nothing to no man because then you’ll have to suck up to someone worthy of only love.” I didn’t know until I became a mature woman that her saying was richly imbedded into Biblical scripture. Read Romans 13:8. It is a part of the principle to wealth.
