Kingdom Building

You are not broke because you do not earn enough. You are broke because your bag has holes.

Leaking Finances

"You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it."

— Haggai 1:6

You are not broke because you do not earn enough. You are broke because your bag has holes.

Haggai 1:6 paints a vivid picture of a life full of effort but empty of results. The people were earning, spending, and hustling, yet nothing stuck. Why? Their priorities were misaligned. They had neglected God's house while building their own, and their finances leaked because of it.

This is not just an Old Testament problem. It is a right now problem. Undisciplined spending and misaligned priorities will drain even the most generous income. But when you put God's purposes first in your finances, something shifts. He seals the holes. He reorders your resources. Provision starts to stick.

Kingdom alignment is the best financial strategy you will ever adopt.
