In the true sense of KingdomNomics, money is not the profit or motivation for a vision or mission but what is lost (Invested)in the process of gaining souls or empowering the saints. That is to say, in KingdomNomics saving souls and empowering the saints are the standard for measuring profit made after a successful implementation of a kingdom assignment, not the amount of money raised.
Most of the time, after major events organized by the Global Faith Coalition, some people write to me asking for financial assistance. They think a successful program surely translates into financial gains. Laughable!
That is where KingdomNomics is different from economics where money gained is the measurement of profit.
Can God at times allow us to be blessed financially while carrying out kingdom work? Oh yes, but the extra is not and should never be the motivation but if in case that happens, we must understand that it is an addition for further investment into empowering people and saving souls, not for self-aggrandizement.
Programs coined as kingdom empowerment or revival programs where money making is the measure of success, are man-made and can't produce genuine and lasting kingdom impact.
That's why by the time Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa of blessed memory passed on, he had no money in his account, and offerings were needed to bury him. He died empty! Why, he wasn't a businessman but a practitioner of KingdomNomics. The art and science of employing money and material resources to gain souls and empower the saints.
In the world, money in the bank is the measurement of a person's wealth, but in KingdomNomics, a man may have nothing in the bank but extremely rich before God because of the money lost to gain souls and empower the saints.
In KingdomNomics, practitioners don't show what they have gained in cash and kind but what they have lost in cash and kind to gain souls and empower the saints.
That's the meaning of what Christ meant when he said, "Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. Matthew 10:39
Sadly, we are more taught today about how to find our life and gain and gain. That's why, when you bring a kingdom vision to a people, instead of focusing on the Big picture of the impact the vision will make on the body of Christ and souls, they ask what is in it for them. Make money, money, money, is now the song, but losing money to empower the saints and save souls is what ministry is about.
That's why those called to make money (Economics) are called upon to support those called into (KingdomNomics). The partnership between economics and KingdomNomics is key to kingdom advancement. One makes money and the other loses money to gain souls.
If we lose our life, we will gain it but if we try to save our life, we will lose it. Most people can't do much for God because they love money more than they love souls.
