PROSPERITY
The rich rule over the poor and the
borrower is the servant to the lender. Proverbs
22:7
How
long do you want to be a servant or, for lack of a better word, a slave? How
long do you want to live from paycheck to paycheck? If you are tired of living
at the subsistence level, then it is time for a change.
The
majority of people believe they have a money problem, and they think the way to
cure it is to get more and more money. But your situation is probably not a
lack of income, but a lack of sense. Sense is defined as “intelligence, brains,
intellect, wisdom, common sense, logic, and good judgment." The reality is
that there is no level of income you couldn't outspend. The problem is not the
need for more money as much as it is the need for discipline and knowledge to
take control of the finances that you have.
Having
knowledge about money and how money works can help you buy a house, finance
higher education, or start a retirement fund. Here are a few steps that you can
take to make your money work for you.
- Establish goals. Where do you want to be?
- Create a plan. Determine your current situation. Where are you today?
- Pay off your debt. Becoming debt-free is the first step to freedom.
- Invest and diversify your money into treasury bills, shares, mutual funds, real estate, gold, and other instruments.
- Walk in wisdom. Wisdom gives you an advantage over the world.
- Keep God first. Support His work with your tithe and offerings.
By
following these simple steps you can go from debt and lack to wealth and
freedom.
Prayer:
Ask the Lord
for wisdom to manage and multiply your finance.
