With our economy in such a downturn with the loss of homes, unemployment rates through the roof, and more people filing for bankruptcy in record numbers, one wonders if we will ever experience anything in abundance again. In Hostile Takeover-God’s Plan and Purpose for Your Finances, Author Cedric Dukes gives us a biblical-based way to honor God and be blessed in our finances.
Hostile Takeover outlines, step-by-step, the importance of taking over our finances so that we do not find ourselves falling victim to what is happening in our economy today. As much as we live in this world, God has promised some things in His Word, and what is very key is obedience. In order to obey, one’s perspective and understanding of what God’s Word says is important.
Next, we must tithe and give our offerings according to what the scripture says, and understand that it is a requirement. Through tithing, the sanctuary is built, and giving offerings keeps the work of God going on. The giving of alms and the firstfruit offering is explained, as it pertains to our giving to others and the overflow that God blesses us with when we give the firstfruit of what God has blessed us to receive.
Not stopping there, Author Dukes shares why we should give; certainly He does not want us to give what we do not have, but we give what we have been blessed to give. With this in mind, we must also learn how to manage our finances, understand debt and how it can hurt us, plan your investments and inheritances wisely, and enjoy the overflow of God’s blessings.
I enjoyed reading, Hostile Takeover, the first book that explains simply, yet explicitly, God’s plan for us to be financially blessed. Scripture reference is provided and it helps us to realize we do not have to live beneath the privilege of enjoying what God has for us. I recommend this book to everyone who is struggling to understand God’s purpose and plan for our financial well-being.
