Most times as believers and Christians, we go about asking God to
bring money from all angles like the same way He brought money out of the mouth
of a fish, however, we realize that praying such prayers sometimes do not yield
any result.
God is interested in your financial prosperity but you must understand
that you have a lot to do. Prosperity answers to prudency. It is not a function
of what you have or earn but a function of what you do with what you earn. When
you lack financial discipline, you become covetous, and later become a thief.
If you are faithful with little, you will get more. It is a principle
that most of us do not live by, and as such we are limiting ourselves from
becoming that financial pillar that God has made us to be. You cannot trust
your money, you cannot count on your money, but you must be able to count your
money. If you are not accountable, you cannot be dependable.
Develop a saving culture. No amount is too small to start with. Save
something from every income you get. Brick upon brick, the house gets built.
Little by little, your savings become big someday. In Genesis 41 and 42,
Joseph’s saving plan saved the land of Egypt.
Also, establish financial priorities. A man got a big break and
suddenly started parading cars, rented an apartment in a high class environment
etc. He forgot that money has wings, and suddenly, the money he thought he had
flew away. Today, he is as miserable as the word miserable.
Some of us are buyers of anything. When small money comes, that’s when
we remember that Bold 2 is too cheap for our class and then we buy Bold 5, and
then we start counting down to when salary will be paid or when one miracle
will happen. 1Tim6:6 says “Now godliness
and contentment is great gain.”
As you decide to be more accountable for your finances, you shall
unending financial blessings in Jesus Name. Amen!
