How is your financial future? In Proverbs 21:5, God tells us the plans of the diligent will lead to profit, however, those who are hasty or fail to plan will certainly lead to poverty.
In order to obtain your financial healing, you must implement a plan for your finances. Planning allows you to fight the attacks of unexpected expenses, unemployment, natural disasters, illnesses and other adverse financial events, so your financial house is not shaken.
The Power of Writing
It is essential to write your financial goals on paper. There is the power of putting your thoughts on paper.
During my college years, I decided to write my career goals to become a certified public accountant (CPA), an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) criminal investigator, and to obtain my master’s degree. (Don’t ask me why I wanted to become an investigator, but hey, the glamour of the job appealed to me!)
Do you know that not only did God bless me with each of these goals, but He has also provided so much more? Since then, I have received many prayer petitions from God by simply writing my prayers on paper. God instructs us in His Word in Habakkuk 2:2. It reads, “Write the vision and make it plain so that he may run who reads it.”
Declare and Decree It
Each day, you should wake up declaring your financial goals will come to pass. You should also post your goals somewhere you can see them throughout the day.
Whether you post them on your refrigerator or vanity mirror, allow your goals to remind you where you are constantly going. Seeing your goals will encourage you when deciding whether to spend outside of your budget.
When you commit to making small sacrifices, you will set yourself up to better fund your children’s education, reduce your financial burdens, or allow you to live a financial freedom lifestyle.
Begin to speak God’s Word into the atmosphere, knowing death and life are in the power of the tongue. Declare the following:
- My God is supplying all of my needs (Philippians 4:19)
- I am the lender and not the borrower (Deuteronomy 28:12)
- All things are possible for me because I believe (Mark 9:23)
