Welcome back to our Financial Freedom Series, where we’re looking into God’s Blueprint for Building Wealth and Managing Your Money Well!

We dive into biblical principles and cutting-edge money management wisdom to help you…

  • Honor God with your money
  • Build wealth
  • Shrink your debt
  • And build toward financial freedom

But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce  wealth.” (Deuteronomy 8:18) 

Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.” (Proverbs 21:5) 

I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” (Psalm 32:8) 

The wise man saves for the future, but the foolish man spends whatever he gets.”  (Proverbs 21:20) 

The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.” (Proverbs  22:7) 

But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:7-8) 

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.” (Proverbs 13:12) 

It is your time to dare to dream. 
It is time to reset your goals. 
It is time to rekindle your passion. 
It is time to aim high. 
It is time to attempt great things with God. 
It is time to live on purpose. 
It is time to reignite your vision. 
It is time to be fruitful. 
It is time to get positioned for God to 
catapult you into your destiny. 

Your best days are ahead of you.

So many have let go of their dreams and are just going through the motions.  

Statistics show that many are living beyond their cash flow means, are over-indebted, cash-strapped, and financially stressed out. 

The shocking reality is that many are living above their means. Debt is a significant problem and keeps many in bondage, but if you are prepared to change, everything can change for you. 

You can turn your financial situation around, no matter how messed up your cash flow is. You may be in debt, handling your cash flow poorly, or have a serious money problem.  

If you keep doing the same thing the same way, you will NOT see any positive change. You don’t have to let your problem overwhelm you; instead, let it motivate you to take action.

Instead of treating your problem as an obstacle, see it as an opportunity to change the way you manage your money and allow it to spur you on toward setting new goals. 

If you are prepared to change how you handle your money, you can improve your situation.  

But you cannot do the same thing the same way and expect different results.  

It is time to face your problems. Try a different approach.  

If you change your attitude, you can change your altitude. If you let go of your dreads and doubts and get determined to dream again, you can turn your life around and build towards financial freedom.  

You may need to… 

  • Let go of attitudes and habits that are holding you back
  • Discard the current way you do things that aren’t working
  • Rise above the chaos
  • Stop trying to just survive and get determined to thrive
  • Dare to dream, set up a plan, and get determined to follow through

You can… 

  • Learn from your past mistakes, setbacks, and mess-ups
  • Try something different
  • Fix your failures
  • Give up on old ways that are just not working
  • Amend or modify your plans and processes
  • Try a new strategy that can lead you out of the valley
  • Cut a new path
  • Dare to be different
  • Look for a solution instead of being fixated on the problem

Take the road less traveled.  

Have You Ever Heard of the ‘VECTOR’ Principle? 

If you are an airplane pilot traveling from Cape Town to London, you don’t turn left or right at each intersection. You set a direct path from Cape to  London. A pilot may make a few vectors and a few degree changes to stay on track.  

A small change, even a few degrees, over a long flight could mean the difference between landing at Heathrow in London or Frankfurt Airport in Germany.

Do You Have a WEALTH PLAN?

In the same way, a few small changes to your WEALTH PLAN can have a huge impact on your future dreams over the longer term. A few positive, disciplined changes can prevent you from crash-landing in financial debt and instead ensure you set yourself up for a fruitful financial future.  

What do you need to give up? 

What do you need to change? 

Are you prepared to do something differently to turn your situation around? 

Making tiny changes can turn your financial situation around, little by little, and lead to big wins over time. 

Over time, with the right dreams, plan, and strategy, you can move from battling to make ends meet to having more than enough. 

I want to encourage you to give up on your bad debt and poor financial planning habits and build good habits that can lead to financial freedom.

You can exchange the old, broken, and destructive lifestyle habits for a new, clear financial strategy that will move you out of financial bondage and towards financial freedom.  

Are You SURVIVING or THRIVING?

Many only have a goal to survive

Lift the lid.  

You can turn your situation around. You don’t need just to survive. You can set yourself up to thrive.  

Look for a solution.  

Stop focusing on the problem. Look for a way to solve it. With God’s help, you can turn your back on your old ways, treat your past mistakes as a launch pad towards a fruitful future, and have a fresh start. 

If you are sick and tired of just surviving and just getting by, I believe it is time to draw a line in the sand and decide to CHANGE what needs to change.  

It is time to change!

Are You Stunted? Dried Out?  

This is what the LORD says, Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the LORD. They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no hope for the future. They will  live in the barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salty land.” (Jeremiah 17:5-6) 

God Can Replant You

But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing  fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:7-8) 

If you are prepared to change the areas that are not working and getting you down, you can change your life.

But do not try to do it alone. Surrender your life, along with your dreams and disappointments, to God. Give him the reigns. You can trust God. 

DARE TO DREAM. Aim high. Expect the best. Roll up your sleeves. Get disciplined. Set up a new plan. Stick to it.  

It is time to change!
