Abiodun Olusola, online financial adviser, in this short article, provides readers with these money management tips to help them achieve financial discipline and stability.
1?? Spending Beyond Your Means: God expects you to be temperate and disciplined in your spending. He cannot bless recklessness. When you keep overspending and living beyond your capacity, you are digging your own financial grave, and God cannot help where disorder continues. He wants you to stop it.
2?? Refusing to Save: Even ants save during summer. And the only dream God gave Pharaoh was about preparing and saving for the future. Joseph’s dream became a reality the moment he helped Pharaoh to save. Saving is not stinginess, it is divine wisdom. God wants you to SAVE.
3?? Not Investing: God is not pleased when you leave money idle in a savings account for too long without it yielding profit. He is a God of increase. Whatever He places in your hands, He expects you to multiply. Start investing wisely, little by little.
4?? Not Setting a Budget: Everything must be done decently and in order, including your finances. A life without budgeting is a life out of order, and such a person will always complain that “money disappears.” God blesses order. He wants you to put your finances in order.
5?? Relying Only on One Source of Income: One stream of income is too risky. God gave gifts and talents so we can profit with them. Learn a valuable skill and monetise it, or start a business or side hustle. God wants you to enlarge your financial coast. I mean this.
6?? Giving to Impress, Not to Obey: Giving is good, but giving beyond your budget and capacity just to “appear generous or receive miracle money” is not spirituality, it is foolishness, and it leads to poverty. It’s an economic disorder. It’s likely one of the reasons Africa remains the poorest country in the world. You will never rise financially if you keep doing that. Never! Stop!
7?? Living on Borrowed Money or Betting: A borrower is a servant to the lender. God does not want you enslaved by debt, betting, or gambling. Wasting your small resources on betting grieves God. He has been telling you to stop, at least on this page. Listen.
?? Lastly, God wants you to keep learning about money management because He wishes above all things that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. So, keep learning.
