Financial Prosperity is principles-based (2 Kings 4:1)

A man who had a testimony of being God-fearing died and left a huge debt for his family. The debt was so much that the future of his children was going to be mortgaged as the only way to settle the creditors. The kind of life this prophet lived is something worth thinking about. He obviously made very wrong financial decisions while he was alive! The quality of financial decisions couples make may have a devastating effect on their families when they are no more. Death is inevitable for every mortal; therefore, couples need to plan adequately for life after death, both on earth and eternity.

We are obliged, under God, to make proper financial plans for our family so that they will not face hardships because of our lack of financial wisdom when we are gone. The life of this prophet teaches Christian couples to know that financial prosperity does not come automatically because we are Christians. It is based on divine principles which we must seek.

Lack of knowledge on finance causes financial difficulty among God’s people.
