TOPIC: AVOID BORROWING AND INDEBTEDNESS.
SCRIPTURE: For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow…
Deuteronomy 15:6.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The borrower is servant to the lender and borrowing empties tomorrow into today.
God’s perfect will for His children is a life of abundance, not of scarcity, borrowing and indebtedness.
Scripture makes it clear that the borrower is a servant to the lender (Proverbs 22:7). Romans 13:8 also says, Owe no man any thing, but to love one another. The only debt we are permitted to owe perpetually is the debt of love.
Borrowing is the act of obtaining money you do not have from a lender with the promise of repayment at a later date. In simple terms, it is spending money that is not yet yours.
Many people justify borrowing when there is a collateral attached or because there are agreed terms of repayment. While there are situations where repayment structures may technically appear acceptable, it is still better to avoid borrowing altogether.
What then are the consequences of borrowing and indebtedness?
i. Borrowing is an anti-covenant operation.
In our anchor Scripture, God expressly says, Thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow. Indebtedness works against the covenant of supernatural supply and abundance.
ii. Borrowing is proof of impatience.
Many people are unwilling to grow gradually or wait for God’s timing. They want to “blow” instantly, and borrowing becomes their easiest shortcut.
iii. Borrowing empties tomorrow into today.
Through borrowing, the money meant for tomorrow has already been spent today. This is why some salary earners remain stranded from month to month.
iv. Borrowing establishes the borrower in servitude.
The borrower becomes a servant to the lender (Proverbs 22:7). A person may appear wealthy yet remain under financial bondage.
v. Borrowing adds pressure and burden to life.
The pressure of debt repayment, harassment, threats, and fear can rob a person of peace and joy.
vi. Borrowing reflects a lack of financial discipline.
Many people borrow to maintain lifestyles beyond their reality, either to impress people or to sustain unnecessary appearances.
vii. Borrowing strips life of honour and dignity.
Many people endure insults, harassment, embarrassment, and humiliation because of debt.
Beloved, God desires for His people to live in wisdom, discipline, contentment, and financial freedom. Determine to trust God for supply and avoid borrowing and indebtedness.
REMEMBER THIS: The borrower is servant to the lender and borrowing empties tomorrow into today.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Make up your mind to avoid borrowing and indebtedness.
2. Cultivate financial discipline and live within your means.
3. Trust God as your Source and depend on Him to supply your needs.
PRAYER: Father, deliver me from every form of financial bondage and indebtedness. Give me the wisdom, discipline, and grace to live within my means and trust in Your supernatural supply, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
