As a Christian minister and psychometrician for the last 30 years, I have come to the humble realization that it is extremely difficult for Christians who are born into financially challenged families to become financially successful on a sustainable basis. My work in general life and financial counseling exposed me to the critical role of mental heredity and genetic thought transfer in the formation of people’s financial self-image. A person’s financial self-image is an internal design or mold for the financial destiny of that person. It works as a mental thermostat that defines the limits of financial abundance that can be attracted or retained on a sustainable level in the life of a person.
Financial self-image is the greatest liability of children who are raised in financially challenged families because. This is because, while the children may be diligent, highly talented, and well educated; unless the invisible poverty mindset driving their financial behaviours is broken through conscious or unconscious intervention, their financial destiny will still end up in poverty or at best financial mediocrity. This is irrespective of the amount of income they earn or the financial opportunities they come across in life.
Have you ever wondered why all the generations of the children of Israel that left Egypt never made it to the promised land apart from Joshua and Caleb? The reason is very simple. It is easier to take a man out of prison than it is to take the prison out of a man. It is easier to take a man out of slavery than to take slavery out of a man. It took God 24 hours to break the children of Israel physically from 400 years of slavery, but it took Him 40 years of wilderness reprogramming and mental renewal to take the slave self-image and slavery mindset away from the children of Israel.
Deuteronomy 8:2 – 3; 7-9
And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. Deu 8:3 So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD. …….
Deuteronomy 8:7
For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; Deu 8:8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; Deu 8:9 a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.
God needed to expunge their former self-image and replace it with the new one that would be needed to help them sustain the kind of freedom and wealth he was bringing them to prevent them from mismanagement and disaster.
The situation is the same for Christian people who are raised in financially challenged backgrounds. Unless their financial self-image is changed through conscious or unconscious reprogramming, they can earn a lot of money, get lots of opportunities, acquire high-level skills, and still end up in a financial mess or a financial mediocre.
When my wife and I started our ministry about 20 years ago we were able to attract many young, zealous, intelligent, hardworking, talented, and educated people whose major challenge was poverty. We taught them to pray, to meditate on the word of God, and to believe God for the healing of their bodies. They were getting good results in all these areas, and they began to challenge me with what God can do to help them succeed in their finances so they can be more useful in the kingdom.
Because of my knowledge of human behavior, I knew that they needed to change their financial self-image to be able to achieve their objective. So, we took all of them through a financial psychometric test called Findex (Financial Success Index). The objective of the psychometric test was to let them see objectively what their financial self-image looks like and how it is sabotaging their ability to achieve financial success.
After the test, we took them through a series of financial empowerment programme which was both scripture-based and science-backed. Today most of the young people who went through the training are financially successful. A few of them have become millionaires who are very active and supportive of the kingdom.
