10 Financial principles for stability & prosperity. The Word of God says it is for freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. (Gal.5; 1) The plan of God for your life is to be free from financial stress and poverty and not to be trapped in a debt syndrome (slavery). Below are 10 principals 1. God is your Source God is the provider of the vision. Get the vision of God for your life and you will see JEHVAH JIRAH provide for all your needs. All good gifts come from God and He is your source of provision for all you need. Phil. 4:19 My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Prov. 8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. 2 Cor. 9: 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. 2. Give and then give some more. The secret of continued financial stability and prosperity is to sow seed into good soil. If you sow seed into toxic soil, the harvest will not be plentiful, but if you sow seed into good soil, you will get a good harvest. Ask The Lord to show to you the condition of the soil and then give and give some more. Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Proverbs 3:9,10 Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of your increase: then barns be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine. 3. Live with-in a plan. There is an old saying, “Fail to plan and plan to fail.” Proverbs 3:16 Submit your plans to God and in all your ways you will prosper. Living with-in a plan simply means allowing for growth. God has given to you the ability to have vision and plan for the vision. When you submit the plan of your vision to God, The Lord will cause the plan to prosper and all your works will succeed. 4. Save for your future. Invest for the future. Do not arrive without having the provision for the journey, unless The Lord tells you to go with nothing and exercise your faith. Proverbs 21:20, 22 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spends it all. A prudent man foresees the evil, and prepares himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. 5. Avoid Debt The minute you go into debt, you lose a portion of your freedom and you become a slave to the lender. (Please check blessings and curses regarding finances) Proverbs 22:7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. There is good debt and bad debt. Borrowing for a house or a business opportunity that will pay back more than you borrowed is one thing, but taking on financial obligations beyond your ability to pay-is another is not wise. The best way to purchase is to pay cash. You can debt as leverage, though it is not the best way forward. THE BEST IS DEBT FREE. 6. Secret of Contentment Living in a consumer society it is most difficult to not see the need for the next latest item or project. Make a conservative decision for spending money with out much prayer and thought and above that value, pray over each item purchased and get The Word of The Lord concerning it. Do not make decisions based cash flow, always make decisions based on The Word of The Lord. Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have... 7. Keep Records, Budget Keep records so the records can give Glory to The Lord of His goodness. You will see a progressive growth of favor, stability, and prosperity over your finances. Proverbs 24:3,4 Through wisdom a house built; and by understanding it is established: and by knowledge the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches 8. Dont Cosign The worlds greatest and poorest credit risk is the person who agrees to pay a strangers debt. When a person cosigns a note, he is the one who is really borrowing the money. The reason a person needs a cosigner is because the lender is unwilling to lend that money to the person requesting the loan, due to the fact they do not have the ability to pay it back. Proverbs 22:26 Do be not one of those who give pledges, who put up security for debts. 9. Work Hard In the beginning GOD WORKED, “created” Genesis 1:1. The Word of God sais, “God will bless the works of your hands,” Proverbs 14:23 In all labor there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury [ poverty] Proverbs 28:19 He that tills his land will have plenty of bread: but he that follows after vanity will have poverty. Work is from the Lord. Do not be a slave to your work. Get your work to work for you. 10. Seek Godly Counsel The power of influence can lift you up or pull you down. Be careful who you take your counsel from and hide the vision of your dreams in your heart until the right time for making the information public. Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly. Proverbs 15:22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
