AVOIDING FINANCIAL FAILURE

We live in a world where a government in debt can just print more money. Do you ever wish you could do that? To bad. You'd have to own your own country to do that. Fortunately, God has given you a way to get ahead.

Here are some five tips to help you avoid financial failure.

I. KEEP GOOD RECORDS.

“Riches can disappear fast… so watch your business interests closely. Know the state of your flocks and herds.” Pr. 27:23 (LB)

II. PLAN YOUR SPENDING

“Plan carefully and you will have plenty; if you act too quickly you will never have enough.” Pr. 21:5 (GN)

III. Save for the future

“Money that comes easily disappears quickly, but money that is gathered little by little will grow.” Pr. 13:11 (NCV)

IV. RETURN ten percent to God

“Bring to My Storehouse a full tenth of what you earn… Test Me in this, says the Lord. `I will open the windows of heaven for you and pour out all the blessings you need.” Mal 3:10 (NCV)

V. ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE

“It is better to be satisfied with what you have than to always be wanting something else.” Eccl. 6:9 (GN)
