AVOID DEBT
The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
Proverbs 22:7
Although debt is not sin but debt is not wise. One major
reason why debt is not smart is the interest that works against you. That is
why God didn’t want His people to charge interest against one another when they
lend money to each other.
If you lend to any of My people who are poor among you, you
shall not be like a moneylender to him; you shall not charge him interest.
Exodus 22:25
However, in our world today when you borrow, the lender will
charge you interest. When you borrow you become servant to the lender. It is
difficult to get ahead financially living in debt.
Debt is not smart, because when you do the math, interest
accumulated through savings or investments will put you at a much better place
financially. Rather than having interest work against you through debt.
You can live a debt free life! You can be financially free!
It takes discipline and following God’s ways of handling money. Some people
will tell you that there is smart debt, but the Word of God doesn’t teach that.
The Word teaches that when you are blessed, you will be the
lender and not the borrower and guess what you are already blessed because you
are the seed of Abraham.
The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to
give you the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your
hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
Deuteronomy 28:12
Thought of the day: I don’t have to be a borrower, I can be
a lender.
Confession: I can live a debt free life!
