How many times have you asked yourself how to save and be able to buy what you want or need, without finding an answer to your question?
God established certain rules and for sure you are already making the majority:
You are not lazy, you work hard and bravely, you fulfill your tithes, everything that comes to your hand to do you do it, you sow your seed both in the morning and in the afternoon, you distribute to others what you have but After all this you have nothing left to save.
But the rules are the rules, let's read.
And although you are fulfilling almost all, you are skipping the one that speaks specifically of saving, it was established in the book of Genesis in chapter 41.
There we are told the story of a pharaoh who had two dreams, the first was standing by the Nile River and saw that seven large, fat and beautiful cows came out, then seven skinny and ugly cows came out and ate the fat ones , in the second dream he saw seven beautiful spikes full of wheat sprouted from the same stem and then seven other spikes, thin and withered, dried by the desert wind, intrigued to find who interpreted the dream and only José managed to do it.
José interpreted the following.
God had shown Pharaoh that he would have 7 years of abundance in his kingdom and then 7 years of misery and that this would happen soon since he dreamed it twice.
But José does not refer only to the interpretation of the dream, but gives him the solution to solve the 7 years of scarcity, he tells the Pharaoh that he must QUINTAR THE HARVEST.
And that is the answer to your question, what does it mean, that a fifth of all your income should be saved in an account that you do not use, if you only have one account go and open another and there you will transfer 20% of all that win and you will only use it to obtain what you have longed for so much, you can make these savings in your local or foreign currency.
One more thing, so you can get bigger things than you imagine, you should not keep track of what you're saving in that account, let's read.
If you keep track of everything you have in that account, you will limit your mind to only get what that number indicates, but if you do not have control, you save 20% and accumulate it, the day you decide to get something. you will achieve it and it will be even better than you had dreamed.
2 Timothy 2: 7 (TLA)
- Think about these things, and the Lord Jesus Christ will help you understand everything.
Proverbs 13:18 (NKJV)
- Poverty and shame will have the one who despises the advice;
But he who keeps correction will receive honor.
3 John 1: 2 (NKJV)
- Beloved, I desire that you be prospered in all things, and that you have health, just as your soul prospers.
