A lot of people say they want more out of life
More comfort
More freedom
More blessings
And in the same breath they say they want to be aligned with God
But alignment is not about what you want
It is about how you manage what you already have
You cannot claim faith while repeatedly putting yourself in financial strain
You cannot call it abundance if your lifestyle is funded by debt
And you cannot call it wisdom if peace is missing
God is not impressed by appearances
He is moved by obedience and stewardship
If you are constantly financing a lifestyle you cannot sustain
Chasing an image instead of stability
And stretching yourself thin just to look like you are winning
That is not growth
That is self inflicted pressure
Faith and discipline go together
Stewardship is proof of maturity
And mismanagement always shows up eventually
The Bible is very clear on financial stewardship
Wanting more is not the issue
Being irresponsible with what you already have is
If you are buying luxury
Financing appearances
Stretching payments
And stressing every month just to maintain an image
That is not abundance
That is bondage
Debt is not a blessing when it steals your peace
Debt is not favor when it forces you to grind just to survive
Debt is not obedience when it pulls you out of alignment
God does not have a problem with nice things
He has a problem with mismanagement
If you cannot afford it in peace
If it requires pressure to maintain
If it forces you to rob your future
It is not wisdom
And until people understand that
They will keep praying for blessings they are not prepared to manage
