Welcome back to our series, “Honoring God with Your Money.” One of the ways to honor God with the resources He has given us is by investing it wisely. Welcome back to our series “Honoring God with Your Money.”

Sa halip, mag-impok kayo ng kayamanan sa langit; doo’y walang naninirang insekto at kalawang, at walang nakakapasok na magnanakaw.

Mateo 6:20

Kung may isinuksok, may madudukot.

Isa ito sa mga kasabihan nating mga Pilipino tungkol sa halaga ng pag-iimpok. At dahil na rin sa hirap at pabago-bagong takbo ng buhay, we need to save smart. This is where different investment plans come in. Several options, such as the stock market, cryptocurrency, VULs, and mutual funds, are available; some of which you can start through installing an app on your smartphone.

Pero bago ka mag-invest, experts will always advise you to first build your emergency fund. Basically, an emergency fund is cash saved for unexpected events such as a job loss or sickness that will render you unable to work. It usually covers three to six months of your living expenses. When that’s ready, you can begin your investing journey!

But aside from investing in stocks and emergency funds, let us also have the wisdom to invest in eternal funds. Jesus taught in His most famous sermon, the one called “The Sermon on the Mount,” the importance of investing in God’s kingdom. It’s because we are bound to live with the Lord for eternity. From an investment perspective then, it is wiser to prepare for our eternal dwelling since that will be our home forever.

Thankfully, investing in God’s kingdom is not as complicated as one might think. You can start this by giving back to the Lord by contributing to your local church. You can also invest by supporting organizations and people that help people know Jesus and provide for their needs.

The best investment is the one that yields the highest dividends. When we choose to invest in God’s kingdom, it is a sure way to put our treasures in the right place!
