MoneyWalk 363 Saving Is Important
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
The LORD’s return is imminent. It’s certainly closer today than it’s ever been! He instructs us that upon His return we should be found busy completing our part of the Great Commission by reaching everyone we can with the life-saving gospel of Jesus Christ. This includes people in our family, workplaces, neighborhoods, and other parts of the world. We’re citizens of Heaven and need to understand we’re seated with Christ in heavenly places. Yet, we shouldn’t be so heavenly minded that we’re no earthly good. Thus, we must understand that biblical principles require a natural action we’re able to take by the power He gave us when He created us and even greater power of His Holy Spirit living in us upon becoming believers in Christ and receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit. His creation and its inner working then cause our natural actions to result in supernatural results that glorify Him and bring about the good He intended for you and people around you and many times for those in the uttermost parts of the earth.
Prayer brings great results we desperately need in our lives and world, yet it must be displayed by the work of opening your heart, mind, ears, and mouth to listen for the LORD and talk with Him. Reading the scripture on a regular basis like we should, or with any regularity, requires that we actually open the book, use the internet, or some other physical tool to distinguish the LORD’s instruction in order to progressively know what’s important to Him and for you and other people. Having studied the Bible, you should recognize He instructs everyone to take action in the financial and other arenas of our lives that are physical in nature and are good works that bring supernatural results when employed. Saving is one of these principles that require action you do not want to overlook or think He does not care about lest you fail to receive the great benefits He stored therein for your life, care of your family, and future involvement with ministry of the Church to change lives and trajectories of many other people for His glory.
Proverbs let us know a fool quickly spends all he / she receives whereas the wise save for the future. Luke tells us a wise man would not build a house without counting the cost to know he has enough to complete it. A reasonable amount of savings and an ongoing pattern of saving a portion of money the LORD entrusts to you helps you solidly build the house of your life and maintain an ever firmer financial footing as you move deeper into the life and work He called you to. A great method for employing the saving principle that has brought great results in many peoples’ lives is to budget your income and expenses in the way that allows you to build a first-tier emergency fund of $1,000 and then after you have paid off all your non-mortgage debt you should save at least $10,000 and up to six months of expenses. You also will want to thereafter employ saving for extra things such as birthday, Christmas, wedding anniversary gifts, private school and/or college education costs, and for placement in equity investments that can allow you to amass great wealth for the care of your family, your future, your Church, and your ministry calling.
People that employ a give first, save & invest next, and spend third habit in their financial lives more often have a greater positive impact in life than those whose habit is to spend, spend, spend on personal desires. Usually, believers who master this principle give abundantly to ministry work and their tithes and offerings grow larger throughout the future. It’s almost impossible to consistently give as the LORD instructs and have something to invest for future growth unless you first live beneath your income and save because the desire for things of this world and massive debt to get them otherwise encompass a greater part of your income and stops you. This brings unnecessary sorrow into your life by stopping the natural and supernatural flow of blessing and increase that God intends for you and your family. Our LORD is all about helping you eliminate unnecessary sorrow and having maximum impact throughout the course of your life. He determined that you need to consistently employ saving as a financial component of your life to help this process along.

The book at the link below provides principles and practical steps that help you use the Power to Get Wealth. By 1992, we had $135,000 of debt and negative $35,000 net worth. Financial bondage and turmoil led me to seek principles and a process for employing good stewardship. As a result, we became constructively debt-free in 1998, mortgage free January 2004, millionaires in 2012, multi-millionaires shortly thereafter, and retired in 2018 in my mid-fifties from public servant jobs while giving abundantly to fund the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ. The same power is available to you!
