She shook her head, still crying. "No, you don't understand. I
was drowning in debt and didn't know how to get out. I was
about to lose my house and car and felt like a failure. But
then I found your teachings, and everything changed. I paid
off all my debts and now have a savings account. I feel like I
can breathe again."
I felt a lump in my throat as I listened to her story. This was
why I did what I did. To see the joy and relief on people's
faces was worth more than any amount of money.
"Thank you for sharing that with me, Rachel," I said, placing a
hand on her shoulder. "Remember that God is always with
you and will continue to guide you on your journey."
She nodded, wiping away her tears. "I know. I just needed
someone to believe in me."
"Of course, you can, my dear," I said gently. "You are not
alone in this. You can overcome any obstacle with God's
guidance and the right tools. Believe in yourself and trust the
journey."
As I got into my car and drove off, I thought about the young
woman's words. She reminded me of myself all those years
ago, struggling and feeling alone. But God had shown me the
way, and now it was my turn to show others.
(Jeremiah 29:11)
Start your journey now to see what God has for you. Believe
and have faith that you can be free from debt, break away
from the bondage of financial struggles, and live life
abundantly with God's grace.
Chapter 2:
Is Money the Root of all evil?
No, money is not the root of all evil. The Bible says: "For the
love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through
this craving that some have wandered away from the
faith and pierced themselves with many pangs."
(1 Timothy 6:10)
No matter how much or how little you have in your pocket, it's
important to remember that financial freedom is about more
than just accumulating wealth. It's about learning to manage
our resources responsibly, including time and money, and
using them to build relationships, help others, and live a life of
purpose. Financial freedom is about finding balance in our
lives and being content with what we have while always
striving to do better.
So don't wait until you get rich - give even when you're in lack
of money. Live a life of generosity and thankfulness, and with
God's will, you will discover true financial freedom.
Now that you know the value of money and why God wants
us to use it to bless others, it's time to learn how to become
financially free. In the next chapter, we will discuss practical
ways to achieve financial freedom - from budgeting and
saving money to creating multiple streams of income.
Will you select the one who constantly borrows money from
everyone, spending all their salary in a casino and leaving
them in an everlasting cycle of debt?
Or will you choose the other, who lives frugally and tracks
their expenses without fail?
"The silver and gold are mine,' cries the Lord of Hosts."
(Haggai 2:8)
If you wish to attract riches and wealth from God, you must
adjust your thinking and behavior. You must become a proper
steward of God's wealth. And the most responsible way to
handle the Lord's blessings is to be able to monitor your
earnings and outgoings down to the exact amount.
I was able to pay off my debts and start saving money for my
children's education. I even had enough to give to my
church's charity program and help those in need. My financial
situation began to stabilize, and the stress that came with
living paycheck to paycheck slowly dissipated.
Please take the time out of your day to track and manage
your finances. This will help you achieve financial stability
and serve as an opportunity to grow and develop into the
person you want to be. With discipline, dedication, and
patience, anyone can master home accounting and improve
their financial situation.
Chapter 4:
How to pay off debt with God's help?
God does not support debt, but He does provide a way for us
to pay it off. He gives us the wisdom and resources to
overcome our financial troubles if we work hard and make
smart financial decisions.
When I was in debt, I felt like I was drowning. Every month, I
would struggle to make the minimum payments on my credit
cards, and it seemed like the interest was only making
matters worse.
But then I turned to God and asked for his help. I realized that
I couldn't do this on my own, and I needed his guidance and
strength to overcome my financial struggles. I started to pray
and read the Bible, searching for wisdom and guidance.
One of the first steps I took was to create a budget and track
my expenses. This allowed me to see where my money was
going and identify areas where I could cut back on expenses.
And here are some next steps you can take to pay off your
debt with God's help:
1. Pray for guidance and wisdom - Ask God to give you the
wisdom and guidance to create a plan to pay off your debt.
Pray for strength and discipline to stick to your plan, even
when it gets tough.
2. Make a list of all your debts - Write down all your debts,
including credit cards, loans, and any other debts you may
have. Seeing them all in one place can help you create a plan
to pay them off.
This will help reduce the amount of interest you pay in the
long run and speed up your debt repayment process.
Let's talk about how you can begin laying the foundation for
your financial future as soon as tomorrow.
Chapter 5:
Spend more on what you enjoy to be
debt-free and achieve financial freedom.
You might ask how I can pay off debts if I spend more.
Now I want to talk to you about spiritual matters. When God
entrusts us with finances, He wants us to use them properly.
All we can give back in return is our dimes and our gratitude.
But you cannot be truly grateful when you are unhappy with
your income. When you are forced to live frugally and deny
yourself of everything, money also controls you because
instead of doing what you want, you must do what you need.
(Luke 16:10)
Oliver proved that being grateful for the money you have will
make God bless you with more. Spending money on the
things you love is the key to having more of it. Treat yourself
and spend on what makes you happy, whether it's creative
pursuits, traveling, or spending time with friends. Whatever
brings you joy is worth investing in, so go ahead and indulge
yourself!
When you appreciate what you have and feel gratified with it,
your earnings will grow. Besides your fiscal gains, other
aspects of your life will also go through a transformation.
But even when we have money, people often think they need
more to be truly happy. A friend of mine once said that if he
had a million dollars, he would retire right away. His dream
retirement would involve living modestly and having more
time for meaningful pursuits such as being with his child,
baking bread, hiking, and serving God.
I shared with him the best Biblical secret to achieving the life
he has always wanted, and his life was changed forever.
How would you live your life if God made you a millionaire?
Imagine how different your lifestyle would be. Everyone will
have their own perspective on this.
But don't forget that God should always have a place in your
life. Don't believe you are unworthy of the life you desire. God
created you with a purpose and wants you to live it out
joyfully.
Would you travel around the world if you had enough money?
Start exploring your home now! Set aside time and funds to
nurture your curiosity for all the wonders in your own country.
Let's say you have $2000 to your name, and you've set a
goal of using five percent of your income on yourself. That
means you now have $100 monthly to spend as you wish,
such as taking a trip. Purchase a single-trip ticket to the
closest metropolis or acquire a vehicle and drive down to the
seaside. Even invest in some hiking boots if mountains are
nearby. All great ideas. And it's essential to stick with this
plan each month since you made a promise to yourself.
But what Samantha valued most was the newfound joy and
contentment she had found in her life. She no longer felt the
need to constantly chase after more money or material
possessions. She had discovered that true happiness came
from within herself and the relationships she had built.
The other family started a small farm with the pigs that we
had given them. They worked hard daily, waking up early to
feed and care for their animals. They sold their piglets and
began growing vegetables, utilizing their land. They were
able to provide for their family and their community, selling
their produce and livestock for a fair price.
Remember, God has a plan for your life and the power to
help you achieve it. Believe in yourself, trust the Lord, and
take small steps of faith. With dedication and commitment,
you can experience financial freedom and success in life!
