WHY DO 4C’s EVERY DAY?
#1 God said - Whoever is faithful with little is faithful with much (and He said the 'little' is money.) Luke 16:9-11
#2 God said - Give an account - (a number, a detail of transactions, an explanation of actions) Luke 16:1
#3 God said - Know the condition of your flock, give careful attention... Proverbs 27:23
#4 God said - Divide your portion, (Not just investments, expenses, live by categories). Ecclesiastes 11:2
#5 God said - Count the Cost if you're going to build something. Luke 14:28
#6 God said - Save for the future, don't spend everything you get. Proverbs 21:20
#7 God said - You cannot serve God and money. Matthew 6:21-24
WHAT ARE THE 4C’s? Biblical Principles for Financial Faithfulness.
Capture - Every dollar in, and every dollar out.
Categorize – Income goes to a category. Spending comes from a category.
Compare - How much is left to spend in this category before the end of the month?
Change - Change money between categories as God directs. Spend less there to have more here.
THE SECRET of financial freedom. Obedience. God doesn’t need you to be a better money manager. He wants you to be a better money obeyer. Let God make your money decisions. It’s His Money. Ask Him, He'll tell you.
THE STRATEGY of financial freedom. This month’s Income pays next month’s bills. (that’s freedom) For most people… this month’s income pays last month’s bills. (that’s bondage)
ONLYFOUR THINGSYOU CAN DO with your 4C's Accounting Tool.
#1 Receive Money – Money in - goes to a category
#2 Spend Money – Money out - comes from a category (leaving less to spend before the end of the month)
#3 Change Money Between Categories – (as God directs) – Spend less there to have more here.
#4 Fill Categories At The End Of The Month – EOM Distribution of this month’s income to pay next month’s bills (so the money is there when the bill comes due.)

THIS IS SIMPLE. Typically just one to three transactions per day – takes about 5-8 minutes.
JUST NOT EASY. The devil doesn’t want you to do this.
It takes faith, discipline and perseverance. The devil does not want you doing this, because he knows... If you obey with money, you’ll obey with anything. If you trust God with money, you’ll trust Him with anything. That’s why he’ll do everything he can to stop you.
But God has victory for you – financially! Finances will become a testimony and a joy, not a burden or stress. When you obey financially – you learn to hear God’s voice, you grow your faith, and contentment, and joy as you see God do miracles in your financial life! He has good for you. Just walk in His Ways!
Call us, we’ll help you! Ask God if this is what He is leading you to do. If He confirms it, Start Today! God will establish you. Your life and family tree will change forever!

Post Script:
Something to be aware of: There are many budgeting tools out there – some cooler than this one. But this isn’t about budgeting – This is about obeying - Giving An Account – Letting God make your money decisions.
In order for this to work… You might consider asking yourself these three questions.
#1 Are youcommitted to fully obey God no matter what He tells you to dowith His money? If you are... you will be free financially! You will find some things in His Word which are completely different than what you think right now about money – or what you currently do in your money habits. Are you willing to obey no matter what God tells you? If not – you’re probably not ready for a Financial Obedience Tool.
#2 Are you willing to Give An Account daily? Probably five to eight minutes or less – some days zero minutes. God gave the secret weapon to obeying financially. It’s Give an Account Daily! He said, “Know the condition of your flock, give careful attention to your herds, for riches don’t last forever and a crown is not secure for all generations.” He said to Give an Account financially like a shepherd, not a farmer. If He said give an account of your crops – you would do your 4C’s Tool every spring and every fall. But He said ‘flocks’ not crops. Shepherds gave an account of their sheep every day! It’s God’s Secret to obeying with His money – Give an Account Daily so He can make your money decisions!
#3 Are you willing to sell the car? It might be different for you - it might be sell the boat, or the motorcycle, it might be sell everything you have, give to the poor, and then come, follow me. It might be to start tithing, or start giving, or it might be to change something you are doing financially that is not God’s will or God’s best. It could be re-think a wrong view of money, or fully obey in any area – that’s not fully surrendered to Him. His ways are not our ways – they are most often - just the opposite. Are you willing to sell the car – if He tells you? If not, you may be like the rich young ruler who wanted to give God everything – except His money.
If you are willing to do these three things. God just set you free financially – money will follow! It’s not being completely out of debt that sets you free – some people are not making payments – but still in bondage to money. They don’t really let God make their money decisions. They still serve money. It’s not what’s in your bank that makes you free, it’s what’s in your heart. Your decision to fully obey with money - no matter what – gets you free financially. God will take over your money decisions. You will be set free and the money will follow.
Can’t wait to see how God shows you what Freedom feels like! What Debt-free feels like! What Hilarious Giving feels like! What His abundance feels like! What it feels like when money every day becomes not a struggle – but a testimony! You will see Him do crazy things. Great joy is waiting!
