FINANCIAL WISDOM FOR ACCESSING SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES
1) Live Within Your Means (Proverbs 22:7; Deuteronomy 15:6, 28:12; Romans 13:8; Deuteronomy 28:1)
Avoid the borrower’s lifestyle
- Borrowing empties tomorrow into today such that when tomorrow arrives, it is empty
- Borrowing is the mismanagement of life, destiny and finances
- Borrowing is an anti-covenant operation that counteracts the benefit of covenant practice
- One of the greatest destroyers of life and of the future is the borrower’s lifestyle
When you get money through borrowing, you have a negative balance against your future and the future must subtract it. - Borrowing is spending money you don’t have such that when money arrives, it has already been spent
- Borrowing is the establishment of the status of servanthood and it excludes people from the realm of financial mastery
- Borrowing is disobedience of clearly stated Divine instruction and that forbids the flow of the Blessing
- Life is in phases and men are in sizes accept your size per time.
2) Look Up to No One But God (Psalms 34:5; Genesis 14:22-23; Jeremiah 17:5-8; Psalms 118:8-9; Proverbs 25:19)
- Looking up to man is looking away from God
- Looking away from God is looking away from good
- Looking up to man is signature for shame
- Man can be your channel but let God remain your Source
- If your supplies must come from God, your eyes must be on God
- To look up to man is to sign up for shame because man can fail, man can change and man can die
- Looking up to God positions man for the blessing but looking up to man positions people for curses
- There is no limit to the celebration of those who look up to God and there is no limit to the frustration of those who look up to man.
3) Identify Needs and Meet Them (Genesis 40:6-8; Exodus 2:15-21)
- Looking out for needs and meeting them took Joseph from where he was in life to the palace
“If you love your neighbour as yourself, you will not know what it means to be poor” – Russell Conwell - Don’t look for money for money’s sake, look for money to make meaning and money will look for you
- When needs are met, rewards are released
- Wealth creation happens with solution provision
- Look at human needs, look for a way to reduce the pressure of people and money will locate you
- Success in life is a product of the release of answers
Let us stop pursuing money and let us start pursuing meaning, when you solve the problems of people, they will thank you and still pay you. - The tackling of necessity is the doorway to accessing prosperity.
4) Access Divine ideas (Proverbs 4:23; Proverbs 21:5)
- The things that will flow out of your life will first flow out of your mind
A wise man said, ‘‘wealth is essentially a product of a man’s capacity to think’’. - To be successful you must be strategic and to think deep is to fly high in all realms
- Ideas translate into wealth effortlessly
- Mental strategy is superior to physical energy in accessing the supplies of life
- Work hard but work smarter
5) Remain Steadfast (Galatians 6:9; Habakkuk 2:3; Ecclesiastes 11:6)
- It is not enough to do the right thing, it is important to do the right thing for as long as it takes to see the right results
- Persistence cures resistance and grants inheritance
- Repeated positive action will always culminate in desired positive outcome
- When your due season is about to come, the devil tempts you with weariness
- Whatever good you know to do, keep doing.
- All you can do is all you can do and all you can do is enough
- Due season will always arrive for the persistent
- Results are created, not by occasional actions but by repeated, persistent actions
- Anything in life that will produce maximally, must be pursued tenaciously.
6) Maintain the attitude of gratitude (Psalms 67:5-7; Joel 1:11-12)
- A positive attitude will give birth to a positive altitude
- Gratitude secures past and present blessings and attracts future blessings
- Maintain excitement and you will receive fulfilment
- Positivism, optimism and enthusiasm are the doorway to dynamism in life
Never hand over your joy to anybody, don’t let anybody be the determinant of your joy per time, when they want you to cry, laugh for them. If they want to frustrate you, frustrate them with your excitement.
- Information can make you intelligent but actions make you wise
- You know an intelligent man by the things he says but you know a wise man by the steps he takes
- You may have been made intelligent by what you just heard but I want you to go into wisdom
- Don’t be intelligent, be wise!
