SAVE FOR A BETTER FINANCIAL FUTURE

Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, but he who gathers by labor will increase.

Proverbs 13:11

Too many people stay the same place financially, even after many years of work. There is little or no financial progress in their lives. That is because some neglect the importance of saving for the future.

Take note from our opening Scripture that it is not those who labor who will increase but those who gather by labor, meaning those who work and save will increase.

Don’t spend all your money, be wise and spend less than you earn. When you save for the future, you can have money to give when the Lord requires you to give. You can also do something important with your savings, like buy a car, start a business, send your children to university, etc.

The Word declares that to him who has more will be given. When you have money because you save, more money can come to you because money goes to where it is properly managed. When you save, you put yourself in a better financial position.

For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

Matthew 13:12

In the Bible when Pharaoh had a dream, no one could interpret it but Joseph, and afterward Joseph advised Pharaoh to save 20% in the years of plenty. You can pick up the same advice and save a certain amount of your income. Be wise, spend less than you earn and save for a better financial future.

Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven plentiful years. And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.

Genesis 41:34

Thought of the day: When I save, I put myself in a better financial position.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for teaching me to save. Thank You for teaching me to use money wisely so that I can increase in the area of finances, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

THE POWER OF THE WORD

“Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD “And like the hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29 The word of God will purify you and break your stony heart. The word of God will make you holy and soften your heart. If you will give yourself to the word it will change you. Jesus said, “Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth.” Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth. John 17:17 The word is powerful nothing compares to the word. It will transform you and reshape your destiny. The word will make your life beautiful. If you will stick to the word it will make you an absolute success. So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Acts 20:32 The Bible says that you are born of the word and that makes you an absolute victor in life. You can never be defeated, you can never be disadvantaged in life; you can live your life in perpet...

YOU LIVE IN THE ARK

Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted the ark, and it rose high above the earth. Genesis 7:17 When the Lord destroyed the earth with the flood, there was a flood for forty days and forty nights, Noah and his family where in the ark, as the water rose, the ark rose above the waters. As a child of God, figuratively, you live in the ark. The world around you may be going through trouble but you are safe in the ark. You are in the world but you are not of the world. When the world is going through trouble you just go upward and forward. You are resting in God’s grace and love. You have peace on the inside, you are untouched by trouble. There could be pestilence and famine going on around you but it will not come to you. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Psalm 91:7 Live in the secret place of the Most High, “in the ark,” in His presence and His glory. There no weapon for...

PRAY FOR LEADERS IN YOUR COUNTRY

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 2 Timothy 2:1-2 As a child of God it is your responsibility to pray for leaders in your country. Leaders in your country are appointed by God and you need to pray for them not criticize them. Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as those who are sent by him for the punishment of evil doers and for the praise of those who do good. 1 Peter 2:13 God can speak to their hearts to favor the church. God can speak to their hearts to make decisions that are in line with His Word. That is where your prayers come in; your prayers are needed for God to work in your leaders’ hearts. The king’s heart is in the hands of the LORD, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherev...
