A goal you should pursue is living off less than 70% of your after-tax income, so you can reap supernatural blessings that come from properly managing your income such as tithing to the Church, giving abundant offerings, eliminating all debt, and saving at least 10% to handle emergencies and ultimately make long-term investments. This goal will discipline you, crucify your fleshly desires, and require you to trust God for provision.
Anyone can pursue and live out this goal no matter what type of full-time job they currently hold, level of hourly pay they receive, or debt level they have. Just have faith in God’s love, desire for you to prosper, and in the principles in His word. Of course, this will not happen overnight. It takes a long-term plan with short-term goals that focus your actions to reduce expenses, increase income while appropriately giving, saving, investing, and spending in a way that pleases the LORD.
It is truly amazing how one person living on $12,000 per year can live very comfortably, without debt and financial stress while another person making $100,000 per year claims he / she makes too little to live on. Each person’s vision, planning, goals, and actions or lack thereof will determine whether he / she will have financial freedom or financial bondage. When you exercise faith and obedience in following the LORD and biblical principles, you will achieve godly goals regardless of current income because God will supernaturally help, bless, and reward you along the way. When you don’t use your spiritual weapons, you will ultimately be stressed by the demands of life regardless of your income level.
Please pray for this ministry and email me with any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
