In order to have the balance that God desires for your life you must first decide to tithe faithfully and give abundantly for gospel ministry to be delivered to your community and around the world. Also, you must determine in your heart that you are going to eliminate all debts not covered by a piece of property considered by expert sources to be greater in value than the debt that has been incurred to purchase it. In addition, you must refuse to take on any debts for depreciable goods in the future. You must also draft and follow a budget / spending plan that identifies the current state of your income and expenses in order to gain and maintain control over your finances so that it serves you, your family, and the Kingdom of God in a way that brings blessing and reward. Finally, you must firmly resolve not to spend more than your net income minus tithes, offerings, at least 10% savings and investments, and an amount that you can put toward debt elimination to totally pay off all of it within the next two to four years. This may mean that you need to find other sources of income to supplement your vision and plan. A second job or a low cost / no cost entrepreneurial endeavor will help fulfill your goals.
Proper balances of ingredients are necessary in cooking edible and tasty meals, in making sure pools stay clean safe from elements that could make you sick, in ensuring that relationships are loving and fruitful, and in many other areas of life. So, it makes sense that you must include in your life and activities all the things needed for financial freedom and wealth building and properly balance them while also keeping out all those things that will lead you astray and keep you in financial and spiritual bondage such as failure to know the state of your financial condition, overspending, failure to save and invest, and failure to say “NO” to people and activities that would waste resources the LORD entrusts to you.
These moves will get you to the place you want to be in one-year, two years, five years, and over the long term. You should draft separate one month budgets for each of the next six months, so you can see how money spent in the near term affects your financial situation six months out. Your spending resolve must be displayed in your budget to keep you inside reasonable spending parameters that keep you on course with the vision you must follow to get you to the place you want to be in financially. Over time this lifestyle will bring the abundant life on earth that Jesus Christ desires for you.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
