Savings! 5 tips to keep more money in your pocket!

The Power of Saving: Building a Future of Freedom and Peace

Let’s face it: saving money doesn’t always feel exciting. It doesn’t give you instant gratification. But saving is one of the most powerful tools God gives us to build peace, freedom, and legacy. 

In Proverbs 21:20, the Bible says, “The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.” Saving is not about fear or lack. It’s about wisdom. It’s about future vision. It’s about stewardship. 

So why do we struggle with saving? 

Because we’ve been conditioned to consume. To spend. To keep up. To treat ourselves as a way of coping. But what if we flipped the script? What if saving became our first act of worship, of self-respect, of future-building? 

Why Saving Matters

Saving helps us: 

• Break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle. 

• Create a buffer for emergencies. 

• Make room for God-sized opportunities. 

• Walk in peace, not panic. 

• Leave an inheritance, not just memories. 

Even Jesus spoke about stewardship, counting the cost, planning ahead, and being faithful with what we’ve been given. Saving is a spiritual habit as much as it is a financial one. 

Consider creating a SAVINGS fund first and then paying off debt. when emergency happens, you will use your savings instead of increasing your debt. 

How to Start Saving (Even If You Never Have Before) 

You don’t need to have a huge income to start saving. You need vision, consistency, and a plan. Here are 3 simple steps: 

1. Give Your Savings a Name.

Instead of just saying “save money,” name it: 

• “Peace Fund” for emergencies 

• “Promise Fund” for a home, mission trip, or future dreams 

• “Overflow Fund” for giving beyond the tithe 

When your savings have a purpose, they become sacred, they become your sifter. 

2. Pay Yourself Second. 

After giving, make saving your next priority. Start with 5% of every paycheck and build up. If you get paid $1,000, save $50 before you spend on anything else. Automate it if possible. 

3. Track & Celebrate Progress. 

Use a tracker (like the Seeds Life & Wealth Planner) to monitor your savings and remind yourself why it matters. Celebrate small milestones—a $500 emergency fund is a huge win! 

Saving is about preparing. It’s saying, “God, I trust You with my future. And I’m willing to do my part.” 

You were created not just to survive, but to overflow. Saving is the seed that helps you get there.
