How Are You Managing Money Now (14/22)?

Story 14:

Spirit has heard you; you want more money NOW!

But first, how are you managing the money you have now? 

How you currently manage what you possess is an indication of how the money will flow to you or repel from you. 

Jesus revealed the secret of receiving wealth in the story of the Ten Mines (Luke 19). 

A nobleman was appointed as a king and needed to leave home. 

Before his departure, he called his three servants and gave them each ten mines and instructed them, “Put this money to work until I come back.” 

Upon the nobleman’s return, he requested the same three servants who received his money to meet him. 

The first servant took the ten mines he received and made ten more. Now the new king was very pleased; he rewarded the servant with ten cities. 

The second servant made five mines more from the ten mines he received. The king granted him five cities. 

However, the third servant brought back the same ten mines he received and said, “I have kept them laid away in a piece of cloth.” 

He then arrogantly judged his master by saying, “I was afraid of you because you are a greedy man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.” 

The king was furious and ordered to take away the third servant’s mines and give them to the first one who earned ten mines. 

The third servant immediately protested, “It’s not fair! The first servant already earned ten more mines, so why should you take my mines and give them to him?” 

Raged, the king lectured him:“For everyone who’s capable of taking care of small things, more things will be given to him. 

But for the ones who show no care for what they have, and even when they have something, that something will be taken away from them.” 

Lesson:

The amount of money you possess is in direct proportion to your capacity to manage it. 

How you handle money today will determine how much money the universe will entrust you tomorrow. 

Water seeks its level, and your money always remains at the level of your conscious management. 

Do you know that US lottery winners are more likely to declare bankruptcy within three to five years than average Americans? 

And more, nearly one-third of lottery winners eventually declare bankruptcy.

Why?

Because these one-time winners were not financially prepared to manage a large sum of money. 

They couldn’t hold the sudden wealth that was not a match to their standard money comfort.

Before they could manage millions of dollars, they needed to master $100, $1,000, and $10,000. 

For a person who’s always comfortable with $1,000 in a bank account, a jump to $10,000 could be overwhelming. 

If your money comfort settles at the $1,000 level, unless you raise money awareness and diligently learn to manage more money, a $10,000 in your possession will eventually dwindle back to your comfort zone, which is $1,000. 

This explains why some people remain at the same living standards for decades, one health problem after another, working the same boring jobs, and repeating the same relationship patterns. What they experience is a match for their comfort zone. 

When I was in my limited money zone, I could only accept a $100 gift. If I received $1,000 as a gift, I would immediately lose the money on car repairs or other emergencies.

I had to learn to raise my money consciousness so that I could deserve and hold a $1,000 gift. The key to inviting more money is to be aware of your feelings about money. 

Money management is like a school. You can repeat the same grade, but you cannot skip a grade without proof of your competency. 

Small things require small care. Bigger things demand more attention. 

If you want to raise your wealth, how prepared are you to receive more money, and how are you preparing yourself to manage it?

Poverty is a dis-ease. There is nothing spiritual or Divine about living a pinched life.

Learn. Take actions. Learn more. Take more actions. 

And watch how the universe supports you and rewards you. 

Now, open the money door with affirmations: 

I appreciate the money I have.

I AM getting better at managing my money. 

I AM increasingly comfortable with more money.

Let the money truth be engraved in your heart. 

Your increased ability to manage money is MONEY.
