Are You Living In Financial Freedom?

I am sure that everyone on this earth wants to experience financial freedom. I am one who does. Life hasn’t been easy for me and the wife. A few years back I hit rock bottom due to a fraudulent partner; mammon became his god. It has been a difficult and slow journey to where I am right now, still not where I want us to be, but God knows. Yes, we all ache for financial freedom, some more than others though. We dream of one day being free from worry about money. The rich people of this world experience this as well. You may be asking me why right now. They have more headaches that us normal folks down on the ground. Greater stress and greater dangers when it comes to their finances; I have spoken to a few, and life is at times worse for them than for me or you. We dream of security and peace. Mostly, we don’t always experience that.

We usually experience financial stress. I have hit it spot on haven’t I? Believe you me, I know. Still, my faith remains in God and He hasn’t left me without anything, one day or month, yet. How come don’t we experience financial freedom? Let’s back up a bit. Financial freedom comes with financial margin. The margin is the difference between what comes in and what goes out, profit or loss, income and expenses. Without a good margin we are doomed and will never achieve this freedom we seek. Reading 2 Corinthians 6:10, I learned something, and so will you. It says the following; “… sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.”  You can start reading from verse 3 onwards, but the above verse is sufficient for now. It truly made me think. I do have everything! Because I have God on my side I have all the riches as in heaven for me, and I am making others richer in the Gospel of Jesus.

I may not have everything I want on earth but I have my loving God. I have Jesus Christ in my life, and this counts for more than what the world can offer me. My life is really great! We, in this world, have come to trust money. We think that money will solve all our problems and make life much easier. Wrong! We must trust in the Lord our God. He will supply all our needs, and He does bless us and reward us as we go along in our daily lives. Trust in God! We must not only focus on the first part, our income – money coming in. When we start focusing on the second part as well, our expenses, and try and increase our margin, then we start seeing financial freedom. God will bless us as we seek Him and ask for His guidance and use His knowledge and heavenly wisdom He has passed on to us.

This is how God has designed our lives. Always trust Him and seek Him, then seek your financial freedom, cutting on expenses and trying to increase income – financial freedom will start happening. It may take small steps, but with God all things are possible. When we start applying downward pressure on our expenses, on our lifestyles, financial freedom becomes less elusive. It becomes available right here, right now. Just as God has intended it to be. Therefore, seek and trust God and start moving forward. Be blessed and less stressed! Amen.
