If Wealth CameaKnockin’
Assuming that wealth was a stranger who decided to knock on your front door, would you let the stranger in? Probably not, most would see a stranger and not the potential good the stranger could possibly bring.
Wealth is so foreign to some people, that if it were standing directly in front of them speaking very loudly, they would need an interpreter to translate its language. Then, it stands to reason that we should learn the culture of wealth and to speak the language of wealth. How many of you have ever taken the time to learn a foreign language? You know then, how concentrated your efforts must be to exact the dialect so that you can speak it fluently without being misunderstood. Speaking a common language creates rapport, trust, and comfort.

The Magic Of Compound Interest
Christians are called to be good stewards of God?s resources. A steward can be described as someone who manages the resources of another. ?The earth is the Lord?s and all that is in it, the world and those who dwell therein??Psalms 24:1 (The New English Bible). To effectively manage God?s financial resources, it helps to have some understanding of modern day financial concepts, strategies, and mathematical formulas. Compound interest is a great ally in catapulting you toward achieving your financial goals. Through an understanding of compound interest, God can pour out a blessing upon you, which you will not be able to measure! Albert Einstein once called compound interest ?the world?s most impressive invention? and dubbed it the ?eighth wonder of the world.? Compound interest means all the money you?ve invested earns interest and then the combined amount of the original investments plus your interest earns more interest. Compounding means interest added to interest. Compound interest does not produce linear growth like the pattern 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and so on; it produces geometric growth through compounding like the pattern 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and so on. Usually, the more frequently your money compounds when earning interest, the better. For example, daily compounding is normally better than monthly compounding, which is better than quarterly compounding, which is better than yearly compounding.

You should start by planning a budget. Gather all of your bills in one place and find out what you spend each month. Take the time to track your spending so that you know how much you are spending and on what.
