MoneyWalk 81 Prepare For Crises

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

You have probably heard the acronym Y2K. It describes the scenario many people thought would cripple the world in the year 2000 and bring about a catastrophe in world economic markets, recordkeeping arenas, etc. based on their expectation that computer systems would fail because programmers allowed only two digits of in the year field. Computer chaos would ensue at 12 AM in the year 2000 and it would take a long time to correct the problems and make computers and the data in them useful again. 

Everything from massive computer systems at big corporations to microwaves and TV’s were supposed to be negatively affected. The prediction did not come to pass, yet it was a real enough threat that many people planned what they would do in case it occurred. A very good principle to live by is to prepare for rainy days because you know they will come at various periods throughout your life, such as economic depressions and recessions. It seems there historically has been at least one each decade producing massive bankruptcies, foreclosures, repossessions, poverty, and homelessness.

You don’t know when rainy days will come, but you shouldn’t overlook the fact that they will come and do what is spiritually and financially reasonable to help you get through the rainy day. The LORD helps you conquer negative effects of crises when you consult Him, seek scriptural instruction, and plan as best you can to handle them.

Obey good stewardship instructions during the many years you do not experience a crisis. Budgeting, saving emergency funds, earning extra income, eliminating debt, investing, and diversifying assets are necessary processes for overcoming costs that would otherwise put you in financial bondage when crises occur. Your testimony and example will position you for many opportunities to share the gospel with others, leading them to the LORD and showing them His path to a better spiritual and financial future.

Please pray for this ministry, email me with any questions, and contact me to speak at your business or ministry conference or workshop. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
