MEMORY VERSE: “The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.” Proverbs 14:8.

BIBLE PASSAGE: LUKE 19:12-26.

[12]He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

[13]And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

[14]But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

[15]And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

[16]Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

[17]And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

[18]And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

[19]And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

[20]And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

[21]For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

[22]And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

[23]Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

[24]And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

[25](And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

[26]For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Simply put, financial intelligence is to be financially wise. It is the knowledge and skills gained from understanding finance and accounting principles in the business world and how money is being used (Prov. 18:15). To be highly successful, extra efforts, skills, intelligence and God’s leading will be needed. It is not only organizations and business owners that need

financial intelligence. It is also needed for

personal finance.

OUTLINES

1. WHAT IS PERSONAL FINANCE?

2. HOW TO BE FINANCIALLY INTELLIGENT

1. WHAT IS PERSONAL FINANCE?

Personal finance is the term that covers planning (Prov.21:5; 30:25) and managing

personal financial activities such as revenue

generation, expenditures, budgeting, savings,

investments and other financial related actions (Matt.25:20). As an individual, your personal finance is a reflection of the level of your financial intelligence, that is, your ability to make smart decisions, plan properly especially in the aspect of finance and live a good life (Prov.10:4). Your net worth and what you are able to do with your money is considered a success (Matt.25:22) and not necessarily so much cash at your disposal. A personal financial statement (Assets-Liabilities) shows

the net worth of an individual. For example, if

all assets in possession are sold and all debts paid, and the liabilities are greater than the assets, the financial statement indicates.a negative net worth. But, if the individual has more assets than liabilities, it is positive net worth.

2. HOW TO BE FINANCIALLY INTELLIGENT

To be financially intelligent, you need to do

the following:

1.Develop a personal success-drive and be

intentional about the wellbeing of your finance (1Kgs.11:28).

2. Seek knowledge and be (Prov.1:5). Invest in yourself (Prov.19:20), read (2Tim.4:13), make researches (Acts 17:11), ask questions, and open your ears and eyes to the happenings around you.

3. Practice what you learn and use the knowledge gained to execute the purpose in which it was acquired (Prov. 6:6; 10:4).

4. Keep track of your spending, identify where

you need to make amends and where you need to intensify efforts (Prov. 16:21a).

5.Have proper and detailed records of your income and expenditure (2 Chron.34:16-18).

6.Surround yourself with the right people who share the same opinion (Prov.13:20; 27:17).

7.Pray for divine wisdom and direction on what and when to invest your resources

(Jam.1:5; Isa.30:21).

CONCLUSION: Financial intelligence needed in order to stay on top of your financial game because hardly would you find a financially intelligent person who is not successful.
