James 1:5 (AMP)
“If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him.”
Financial wisdom is one of the things many believers lack, and it’s the reason many will never truly enjoy wealth as God purposed to give to them. Being ignorant in this aspect will not help to live well. Financial wisdom is important, and these are ways we can implement it.
Earn for yourself and not to spend only. When you keep on spending and spending, your income keeps going out and not in, so create a culture that specifically earns for yourself, and that can be taking out at least 10 percent of your income to keep apart. Control your expenditures. Refrain from excessive spending.
Make your gold multiply. Your gold could be your talents, your skills, and, in fact, your money. Make sure you keep on increasing. Invest your savings intelligently, equipped with adequate information to increase your interest. Guard yourself from loss.
Do not be greedy; invest where there’s no danger. Equip yourself with information and wisdom from wise men to avoid a loss. Be intelligent in your investment and know how to navigate your gold the best way to bring you satisfactory returns. Ensure a future income. Make plans for the future. Make provision in advance for future needs.
Increase the ability to earn. You need to increase your desire to earn more and have a stronger sense of purpose. Desire to earn more and advance. Following these simple instructions will help you to be financially wise, and you will see the result in your life.
Confession: I have received the wisdom to manage my finances well.
