The Ten Commandments To Financial HealingSample

Commandment #2 - Plan for your financial future

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. This way, attacks of unexpected expenses, unemployment, natural disasters, illnesses and other adverse financial events will not cause your financial house to be shaken.

THE POWER OF WRITING

It is essential to write your financial goals on paper. You must understand that there is something powerful about 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!

However, not only did God bless me with each of these goals, but He has also continued to do so much more! This is also proven in God’s word. Habakkuk 2:2 instructs us to write the vision and make it plain so that he may run who reads it.

DECLARE AND DECREE
Wake up each morning declaring your financial goals will come to pass. Post your goals somewhere you can view them throughout the day. Whether you post them on your refrigerator or vanity mirror, allow your goals to serve as a constant reminder where you are going. Seeing these visually can also encourage you when deciding whether to purchase a pair of shoes, tickets to your favorite sports game or your morning coffee latte. Understand how making these small sacrifices may ensure your children’s education is funded, reduce your financial burdens or allow you the ability to live a financial healing lifestyle.
