Why choose a Kingdom Advisor?
Every individual seeking a financial advisor in any discipline looks for someone who is competent, performs their work with excellence, evidences humility and integrity, and seeks to advance the client’s interests first and foremost. Many advisors, whether a Kingdom Advisor or not, can meet these requirements. So, what is the difference?
God’s Word says, “The mind of man plans his way but the Lord directs his steps” (Proverbs 16:9). Additionally, it says that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Psalm 111:10).
First, you should desire your advisor to give advice that is consistent with and informed by God’s Word. God’s Word is a light that should guide every area of our lives, which includes the financial area.
Second, you should desire your advisor to have a worldview or a perspective that is eternal in nature and, consequently, help you actually be a steward of God’s resources that He has placed in your hands to manage. If your advisor is not capable of asking the right questions, you can never get the right answers.
Third, you should desire your advisor to be a believer in Jesus Christ and, therefore, to be undergoing constant transformation by the Holy Spirit in becoming more Christ-like in character. As such, you should desire to be able to hold your advisor to a higher standard of character and integrity.
So, why choose a Kingdom Advisor? Because a Kingdom Advisor has been trained and has committed to be a person of character who, from a biblical worldview, serves you with financial advice on how to best meet the goals God has given you in being a steward of the finances that He has entrusted to you.
Yours in Christ,
