The Phaneroo Devotion: Kingdom Finance Principles: Invest Wisely
Apostle Grace Lubega
Luke 19:23 (NLT): “Why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it.”

God expects us to be wise in how we invest money. This wisdom helps us not to be wasteful or mishandle the resources He has trusted us with.
In Luke 19, Jesus tells a story about a master who gave his servants money to manage. One of the servants did absolutely nothing with it. The master rebuked him and said, “You could have at least put it in the bank so it could earn interest!” This teaches us something important: God expects an increase, even if it’s just through a simple and safe option like a bank.
The interesting phase here is ‘atleast’. This means, the basic minimum.
Let me explain this further.
Some people never invest their money (like the servant in our theme scripture) or they start businesses or investment projects that bring in no return—sometimes even less than what they’d get from simply saving their money in a bank or some other similar platform. That’s not wisdom. If a bank or some other platform is offering a better return, why risk your money and time on something that gives you less?
It is wise to compare your options and go with what brings growth.
Don’t invest just to say, “I have a business.” Don’t spend money just to look like you’re doing something. Ask yourself: “If I put this money in the bank or in a similar investment option instead, would it give me more?” If the answer is yes, put it there—until God gives you a better idea or opens a door that makes real financial sense.

GOLDEN NUGGET: God expects us to be wise in how we invest money. This wisdom helps us not to be wasteful or mishandle the resources He has trusted us with.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this word. I am a faithful steward of Your resources. I do not waste or gamble with what You have given me. I make decisions that honour You. I choose to increase, walk in wisdom and invest with purpose, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
