INTRODUCTION:


There has been so much instability in recent times and it looks like a whole lot of things are becoming unattainable, especially in the place of finance. Dwindling economic realities around the world make it more difficult to believe that financial independence exists given the rate at which companies fold up, the rate of inflation, and exchange rate vulnerability just to mention but a few. A lot of people today either borrow to survive or wait on a paycheque from their employer before any financial decision or action is taken over their well-being and that of their family.


It is important to know that God has a financial plan for us as his children and he does not want us to be poor (3 John 1:2a). We would be looking at what financial independence is, how it relates to us as Christians, and practical steps we can take to attain financial independence.

SUNDAY SCHOOL HYMN


O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

O how I love Thee well,

I am happy, it makes me glad

To rejoice at Thy birth.

O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

Thy friend friendship suits me well,

Both young and will sing Thy song,

We long for Sunday School.

O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

Christ was Thy first teacher,

The Holy Spirit, great teacher,

Does manifest in thee.

O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

This testimony is sure,

That God, the Father Almighty,

Poured His blessing on Thee

O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

Though the sun be so bright,

Or if the clouds be black with rain,

I’ll be in Sunday School.

O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day

I rejoice to see Thee,

Will thou pass over me today?

Without my being blest?
