How to Correct Negative Financial Behaviors

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

What are negative financial behaviors and what makes them negative?

Negative financial behaviors are financial behaviors as well as attitudes which always put your financial figures in red – that is to say you are always financially stressed, financially insecure, financially dependent on people and circumstances. You never have financial resources stashed away for the rainy day and when there is a major or even minor need in your life, you are always at the mercy of other people – begging without shame and most times being ignored, or humiliated or even insulted. At other times, you have to borrow, and in some cases with high interest rates and you borrow, you may actually have no means of paying back the debts.

Dare to Make Wealth 3

To make and enjoy great wealth, you also urgently require a mental paradigm shift which will enable you let go of limiting mindsets that hinder wealth creation. Some of them include but are not limited to the ones mentioned here.

Do away with the limiting mindset of how to make do with insufficient financial resources on a monthly basis and take on the creative God breathed mindset of how to generate more than enough financial resources every month to pay your basic bills and support other less endowed people. Refuse to be one of the less endowed people no matter what life hands out to you. Rather choose to be like Jabez who refused to accept pain. He became successful. Please read 1^st Chronicles Chapter 4 verses 9 to 10.

Do away with the limiting mindset of how to make do with half broken and chipped china, coffee mugs and take on the creative mindset of how to generate enough money to replace the broken and run down kitchen ware that litter your kitchen.

Do away with the limiting mindset of how to make do with old malfunctioning cars and take on the creative mindset of generating enough financial resources to buy new cars. Besides, you can start by asking God for new cars rather than daily ask God to help you so that the old malfunctioning cars do not disgrace you on the road. After all, it is the same amount of energy and faith required to pray for the cars not to disgrace you that is also required to ask God for new cars and the requisite financial resources to acquire new cars.

Beloved, you can consciously and deliberately ask God to give you the financial resources you require to live the quality life of abundance which God designed for you from the foundation of the world. Do not allow the devil deceive or intimidate you that it is your lot to live a life of scarcity and hardship. That is a lie from the pit of hell. The God Who gave His only begotten Son for your salvation (John Chapter 3 verse 16); also made salvation a total package of deliverance from any form of captivity to the devil and his cohorts. That is also why the Bible records that Christ became poor so that you and I will become rich. Please read 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verse 9.

DARE TO MAKE WEALTH 2

Skills have always ruled economies as skills determine the key players and movers of most dynamic economies. An economy ruled by skills is a growing economy as the skilled people produce goods and services that are traded whether locally or globally. In such an economy it is a person’s skills that determine how far a person goes and how a person benefits in such an economy.

The unnamed virtuous woman of Proverbs Chapter 31 in the Bible was a highly skilled woman who perfected basic skills that every woman learnt as a young girl into an economic activity which provided great income for her and her family. Traditionally, every young girl learnt to sew and knit, cook and keep home. But the unnamed virtuous woman took the skills of sewing and knitting beyond making and providing clothing for her family to a business which provided the financial resources to start another business; procure land for a vineyard for wine making. What an amazing woman! She took her business seriously and sold to only people who had the financial capacity to pay. Beloved, these skills are selling globally as fashion designers and owners of eateries and restaurants post profits in millions and billions of dollars. Some fashion designers have even moved on exclusivity and are described as luxury designers. They produce for the wealthy. So also are some restaurants and eateries. It takes tons of money to dine there. What are they selling? Skills!

DARE TO MAKE WEALTH

Stop managing poverty, begging for bread and living off handouts and the sometimes reluctant generosity of other people ; most of who do not really care about you but use you as a platform for dumping off what they do not need; justifying their overconsumption in the handouts they give to you.

Beloved, for too long, you have lived in the consciousness of living off crumbs and that consciousness has limited you from making and enjoying the great wealth God blessed you with from the foundation of the world (Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verse 18, also 11 to 17). Stop loving and managing poverty. Dare to give wealth creation a shot; by taking the first step towards wealth creation. Honestly, you will be amazed at the latent capacity to create wealth which unfortunately you have allowed to lie fallow for too long. It is time to break up your fallow ground because you are created to make and enjoy wealth.

In everyone lies untapped wealth, in point of fact, huge deposits of wealth. Unfortunately and quite sadly, not everyone knows this universal truth which explains why billions of people are content to remain poor believing that poverty is their lot in life. Perhaps this explains why Jesus talks about always having the poor (John Chapter 12 verse 8, Deuteronomy Chapter 15 verses 1 to 11) and instructs about reaching out to the poor. But the truth is that your name is not listed among the poor except you choose to engrave it in the list. In that case, God is not to be blamed for the list you choose to be in. Neither are your parents or any other relations you may have. You alone have the power to decide and determine to create and enjoy great wealth.
