MIDWEEK SERVICE UPDATE (LATE POST)

SERMON: “GODLY FINANCIAL PLANNING – BUILDING THE HOUSE WITH WISDOM”
1️⃣ FOUNDATION SCRIPTURE
Proverbs 21:5

“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.”

🔥 INTRODUCTION

Tonight we are not just talking about money — we are talking about stewardship.

Money is not evil. Poor planning is dangerous.
God does not bless confusion; He blesses order.

Financial planning is:

Spiritual

Biblical

Necessary

A sign of maturity

If you don’t plan your money, your money will plan your struggle.

1️⃣ GOD IS A GOD OF ORDER
1 Corinthians 14:40

“Let all things be done decently and in order.”

Before creation, God had a plan.
Before blessing Israel, God had a structure.
Before Jesus came, prophecy prepared the way.

Planning is divine.

👉 Disorder in finances brings:

Stress

Arguments in families

Debt

Shame

Ministry limitations

But order brings peace.

2️⃣ *JESUS TAUGHT FINANCIAL PLANNING*
Luke 14:28

“For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost…?”

Jesus said:

Sit down

Count the cost

Calculate

Prepare

Many believers pray before they budget.
But Jesus said: Sit down first.

Faith does not cancel planning.

*3️⃣ THE DANGER OF LIVING WITHOUT A PLAN*
Hosea 4:6

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”

Many believers:

Spend emotionally

Borrow unnecessarily

Live above their income

Ignore savings

Avoid budgeting

And then say, “The devil is fighting me.”

Sometimes it’s not the devil.
It’s lack of discipline.

4️⃣ *FOUR PILLARS OF GODLY FINANCIAL PLANNING*
🔹 1 *. TITHING – PUT GOD FIRST*
Malachi 3:10

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse…”

Tithing is not a payment.
It is honor.

God must be first — not leftovers.

*🔹 2. BUDGETING – TELL YOUR MONEY WHERE TO GO*

Write down:

Income

Expenses

Savings

Giving

A budget is not restriction.
It is direction.

🔹 *3. SAVING – PREPARE FOR TOMORROW*
Proverbs 6:6-8

“Go to the ant… it stores its provisions in summer.”

Even ants prepare.

If emergencies destroy you, it means you were not prepared.

*🔹 4. AVOIDING DEBT*
Proverbs 22:7

“The borrower is servant to the lender.”

Debt limits destiny.
Debt controls your freedom.
Debt delays vision.

Not all debt is sin —
But careless debt is bo***ge.

*5️⃣ FINANCIAL PLANNING IN THE CHURCH*

The early church operated with wisdom.

Acts 4:34-35

They distributed resources wisely.
They planned.
They managed.

A church without financial planning:

Cannot grow

Cannot build

Cannot expand vision

Cannot support missions

God funds vision — but He blesses responsible managers.

When you honour the servant, you unlock the blessing of the Sender. Honoring a pastor is not man-worship it is God recognition. A church that appreciates it's Shepherd becomes a church that enjoys divine favour, protection and growth.

When you call yourself to ministry while God is still calling you to Himself you will be like someone putting on an oversized shoe or suit.

Wait until God sends you.

The elders who perform their leadership duties well are to be considered worthy of double honor (financial support), especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching [the word of God concerning eternal salvation through Christ]. -1 Timothy 5:17
