Did you know that one of the greatest financial adviserss in history is found in the Bible? His name was Joseph in Egypt [music] and his story reveals the secrets of how to save wisely according to God's wisdom. Because saving didn't start in banks, it started in the Bible.
And if you learn this principle, your finances can change not by luck, but by divine wisdom. In this video, I'll show you the 10 principles we learned from Joseph's plan. A man who went from prison to palace not because of money but because of obedience and vision.
Stay until the end because the last point might be the key that takes you out of scarcity. One. Joseph saved because he had vision not fear.
While everyone in Egypt enjoyed the good years, Joseph was thinking ahead. People were eating, spending, and celebrating. But he knew good times don't last forever.
His saving wasn't a reaction to fear. It was a response to revelation. When God gives you vision, he teaches you to look beyond the present.
The wise don't save because they're afraid to lose, but because they understand that abundance without purpose runs out. In Genesis 41:47, and 48, it says, "During the seven years of abundance, the land produced plentifully. Joseph collected all the food produced in those seven years and stored it in the cities.
Joseph didn't improvise, he planned. And that's the first principle of biblical saving. Plan before the need arrives.
God doesn't bless those who live daytoday, but those who live with direction. Saving begins when you stop reacting to the present and start obeying an eternal vision. Two, Joseph established a percentage.
The 20% principle. God gave him a clear instruction. Ido, clear instruction.
Let Pharaoh take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt. Genesis 41:34. That means 20%.
Joseph didn't say, "Let's save if there's something left. " He said, "Let's set aside a fixed portion. " Biblical saving is not an emotion.
It's a discipline. People who say, "When I have more, I'll start saving. " Never do.
Because saving doesn't depend on income. It depends on order. God taught Joseph a principle that still works today.
Set aside before spending, not after. When you do that, you're not just storing money. You're training your mind to manage.
Joseph's 20% represents obedience, not amount. It doesn't matter if today you can only save $5 or $50. What matters is consistency and purpose.
Remember this, order always attracts provision. Those who honor God with discipline will see abundance even when others go hungry. If this message is blessing you, subscribe to the channel Biblical Finances and tell me in the comments what you've learned so far.
Three, Joseph organized resources with structure. The Bible says Joseph stored the food in the cities, not all in one place. That means he divided, planned, [music] and distributed.
He had a system, and that's what many lack today, structure. It's not enough to save. You need to know where, how, and why.
Joseph didn't have a bank account, but he had divine wisdom. And that wisdom led him to build a storage system so effective that no one went hungry during the seven years of famine. Your account might be empty, not because you earn little, but because your management lacks structure.
Do as Joseph did. Organize your resources. Create categories.
Savings, investment, generosity, and emergencies. Financial disorder is the enemy of blessing. God doesn't pour abundance into disordered hands.
Four, Joseph was consistent during the good years. The text says he stored up grain for seven consecutive years. Not for a month, not for a season, 7 years without interruption.
This teaches us that saving is not a temporary goal, but a lifestyle. Joseph didn't change the plan when people got tired of storing. He understood that today's discipline is tomorrow's security.
Those who save only when they feel motivated will never see results. Blessing manifests when you are faithful in the small things, even when no one sees you. God rewards consistency more than enthusiasm.
Saving is like sewing. You don't see the fruit instantly, but the harvest will come. Five.
Joseph didn't confuse abundance with freedom to spend. People in Egypt thought, "We have plenty. Let's enjoy it.
" And many today think the same way. When there's money, they spend carelessly. When there's lack, they pray for provision.
Joseph didn't fall into that cycle. He knew that success without control destroys faster than scarcity. The Bible says in Proverbs 21:20, "In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has.
" Do you see it? It doesn't say the fool has nothing. It says he spends everything.
Joseph didn't spend it all. He understood that saving isn't greed. It's wisdom.
Saving doesn't mean doubting God. It means honoring what he entrusts to you. God gives you abundance to manage it, not to waste it.
Six, his savings had a greater purpose, to save lives. When famine came, Egypt had bread. And not only Egypt, the whole world came to buy from Joseph.
His wisdom didn't just save a nation, it saved his own family. Biblical saving is not selfish. It's not about me, my house, and my accounts.
It's about being a channel of blessing. Your savings can sustain a ministry, help someone in need, or become a seed for the kingdom. Saving with an eternal purpose changes the meaning of money.
God doesn't multiply what you hoard out of fear. He multiplies what you reserve out of vision. Every grain Joseph stored had a purpose to preserve God's promise.
and every dollar you save can be the key to something greater than yourself. Seven, his faithfulness in management led him to government. Joseph started in prison but ended up ruling Egypt and he didn't achieve it by luck but through administrative wisdom.
Pharaoh saw something in him that few possess, order, strategy, and faithfulness. God doesn't promote those who pray without acting, but those who manage with excellence. If you are faithful with little, God will trust you with more.
Many want to rule without learning to save. But those who can't manage a hundred won't know how to manage a thousand. Saving prepares you to handle greater responsibilities.
Joseph didn't just store grain, he stored trust. And when the time came, God positioned him because he managed what others wasted. Remember, God's promotion always comes to those who know how to manage.
Eight. Joseph recognized that his wisdom came from God. When Pharaoh praised him for interpreting dreams, Joseph replied, "It is not in me.
God will give Pharaoh an answer. " Genesis 41:16. Joseph didn't see himself as the author of the plan, but as the messenger of the divine plan.
That's the difference between earthly success and biblical prosperity. Saving wisely doesn't depend only on your intelligence, but on the guidance of the Holy Spirit. God can show you when to save, when to invest, and when to give.
Don't make financial decisions using only your mind. Consult heaven. Before making a move, pray.
Before spending, ask. Joseph's saving wasn't human. It was spiritual.
Financial wisdom without communion with God becomes mere calculation. Nine. Saving turned Joseph into a leader of influence.
When famine struck the world, everyone came to Egypt. And Joseph, the forgotten slave, became the most sought-a man on earth. His obedience positioned him.
His discipline opened doors. God used his management to make him ruler over nations. Saving gives you stability, but it also gives you influence.
It doesn't just prepare you to survive. It trains you to lead. Those who can manage their resources can also lead teams, businesses, and ministries.
Saving is a form of leadership. Whoever governs their money proves they're ready to govern greater responsibilities. 10.
Joseph turned his saving into an act of spiritual obedience. Many think management is something worldly, but for Joseph, it was a way of serving God. His faithfulness with the grain was an expression of his faithfulness to the vision.
Each time he stored wheat, he was declaring, "I believe in what God showed me. " And when the crisis came, his obedience became provision. Saving, when done under God's direction, stops being a human practice and becomes a ministry.
God doesn't ask you to save to accumulate, but to multiply and sustain his purpose. Saving doesn't replace faith. It demonstrates it.
Because saving wisely is acting in faith, believing that the God who provides today will also provide tomorrow. Joseph wasn't an economist. He was a man of faith with divine wisdom.
And his story shows us that money isn't the problem. Lack of purpose is. God doesn't want to see you enslaved to spending or trapped in debt.
He wants to see you free, orderly, and blessed. The lesson from Joseph is clear. Plan before you spend.
Set aside a portion with purpose. Be consistent even when no one sees. Do it with vision, not with fear.
And recognize that true provision comes from God. When you live by these principles, money stops being your worry and becomes your tool. Because God doesn't multiply disobedience.
He multiplies good management. Don't wait for a crisis to obey. Start today like Joseph while there is still abundance.
The same God who gave him wisdom to save can give you direction to prosper. It's not luck, it's obedience. It's not magic, it's management.
[music] And it's not selfishness, it's vision. So ask yourself today, am I using the resources God gave me like Joseph or like Egypt? One stored with purpose and survived, the other spent without thinking and suffered.
The difference wasn't money, it was wisdom. If this video helped you understand how to save according to God's wisdom, subscribe to the channel Biblical Finances and turn on the notification bell to receive more teachings on biblical wisdom applied to your finances. is.
