Seven Biblical Principles on FinancesSample

Principle #5 Investment - In People and Multiple Ventures

Another vital principle of finance is investment. This one speaks more about wise ways of using your money that can bring you returns in the future. Many people have made millions using this principle. But some still don’t see its importance. Let’s see what the Bible says about investment.

[1] “Cast your bread upon the waters,

For you will find it after many days.

[2] Give a serving to seven, and also to eight,

For you do not know what evil will be on the earth.” – Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (NKJV)

While verse one speaks about blessing other people’s lives randomly, verse 2 talks about strategic multiple investments. That means, in God’s perspective, investment is good. But to excel in it, you must do it wisely.

Investing in people’s lives may have more blessings than investing in businesses. Investing in businesses and individuals can have an eternal impact when we do it without any expectation of indebtedness, or future return.

Child of God, don’t be shallow in handling money. No matter how cash-strapped your life is right now, learn to discipline yourself to save some money so you can invest it wisely. Always remember to read about any type of investment before getting into it. May the Lord be your help.
