Genesis 41 : 34-36 ” Let Pharaoh appoint commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance. They should collect all the food of these good years that are coming and store up the grain under the authority of Pharaoh, to be kept in the cities for food. This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt, so that the country may not be ruined by the famine.”

Learn to store up some resources. It will make you prosperous even during hard economic times. Let it be a definite amount. In the scripture above 20% was being saved each year for seven years and this amount helped the whole world during the evil 7 years. Ephesians 6:13 tells us that there are evil days that come and its the desire of the Father that we should be able you stand during the evil days. Evil days include time you may lose your job, something of value, time you may lose your money through me investments, time your business is not performing and so on. Its this time that you will need your savings to work for you.

Proverbs 30 : 25 “Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer.”
Ants know that not every day is a summer. So to maintain living a successful life even in winter, they store up something during summer. Your summer time should be well utilized. To maintain success in your life, learn to keep during summer for the winter.

Proverbs 21:20Living Bible (TLB) “The wise man saves for the future,but the foolish man spends whatever he gets.” If you are a wise man save something. If you are not wise, spend all. On your budget the tithe and offerings should be the first deductions seconded by savings. Let all others follow that. Don’t put savings as the last budget item. You are not wise.
