Grace to Grow John Wilkerson

The sixth principle in obtaining a good name is to handle
finances with wisdom. Since other people notice how you handle money, your reputation is affected by your diligence in this area. This episode gives eight financial principles that will help you to be wise with your finances.

The fifth principle in obtaining a good name and loving
favour is to train our children. This begins with a strong marriage and continues with proper time and attention toward our children. Every child is different, which magnifies the importance of wisdom and patience during the
training process.

The third principle in obtaining a good name and loving favour is to practice humility. Humility is attractive to both God and man and brings the supernatural help of God. The fourth principle is to fear the Lord—to recognize God in our lives and know He is with us. This will provide us multiple benefits.

This episode is the beginning of a new series of lessons on relational
responsibilities. Proverbs 22 talks about a “good name” and “loving favour,” both of which are essential to a good relationship. In order to have these two qualities, we must first deal with prejudice. Secondly, we must avoid questionable attitudes, actions, and associations.

The seventh financial principle is to give to yourself—save
some of your money for the future. Savings enables you to anticipate potential needs so you can have funds available when those needs arise. The eighth and final financial principle is to be generous with God and others. Where your treasure is, there
will your heart be also.

The sixth financial principle is to get on a budget. Having a budget not only helps keep us out of debt, but it also gives us peace of mind about our financial condition and our ability to confidently make desired purchases.
