Many people these days struggles a lot when it comes to managing their own finances. There maybe some differences when you are managing huge sum of money vs your regular salary. However, the basic principles of financial management remain the same.
So my goal in writing this is not to make extensive financial management lesson. This is more on the basics. If you are already rich and has more extensive financial training, then this is NOT for you.
However, if you are struggling financially on day to day needs, then this is for you. The goal is to elevate you in your financial situation. We we will only cover the basics in this discussion.
The Bible teaches us a lot of things. And that includes being a good steward. The Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25 is full of lessons and principles about becoming a good steward. But notice the last part of it:
Notice how the Bible warns about becoming a bad steward? What he has will even be taken from him and he will be thrown outside into darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
And this remains true even today. Many people are suffering because they have been a bad steward. However, if one is a good steward, his life will be fruitful and there will be rejoicing.
The parable is all about the Kingdom of Heaven and is about being a good steward in the ministry.
However, the same principles apply on being a good steward in financial matters.

Basis of Being a Good Steward
The Bible teaches us a lot of things. And that includes being a good steward. The Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25 is full of lessons and principles about becoming a good steward. But notice the last part of it:
Parable of the Talents: Matthew 25:14-30
29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Notice how the Bible warns about becoming a bad steward? What he has will even be taken from him and he will be thrown outside into darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
And this remains true even today. Many people are suffering because they have been a bad steward. However, if one is a good steward, his life will be fruitful and there will be rejoicing.
The parable is all about the Kingdom of Heaven and is about being a good steward in the ministry.
However, the same principles apply on being a good steward in financial matters.
