"His Voice Today"
November 8
🔸️ Must have the life that not indebted to anybody! 🔸️
God is never indebted to any person! In the New Covenant, we are called to participate in His Divine nature!! That is why we are commanded, "Do not owe anything to anyone" (Romans 13:8).
Borrowing from another and being indebted to him is one of the curses of the Law. This curse is what God said would come upon the Israelites when they disobeyed the law (Deut 28: 43-48). Yes, as verse 48 says, the Israelites will be driven to the pathetic condition of "being left hungry, thirsty and lacking in everything"!!
Contrary to this, one of the blessings that God promised to Israelites, if they obeyed to His commandments was, "You will lend to many, but you will not borrow" (Deut. 28:12). Having the necessary resources to give and to be a blessing to others is a way of God to bless His people!
But, if you are struggling with a "continuous" economic need, it is very important to find out what is wrong and where did it happen? by doing a personal spiritual review.
Scripture says, "The borrower is a slave to the lender" (Prov. 22:7). The word 'borrowing' in Hebrew means "being bound" by the borrower to the lender. You see, you have been overcome by your creditors and bound by a chain! It is never God's will for even anyone of God's child to be overcome by another, in this way! Because God paid a high price for us through the blood of Jesus Christ, commandment has been given firmly, not to be enslaved to anyone (1 Corinthians 7:23). It is written that Jesus came to deliver the "captives"
(those who were bound with chains of debt)! (Luke 4:18). This is the good news that exciting us!
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father!
We know that You do not want your children to be in debt; grant us the grace to reform our spiritual condition and free all your children from debt! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
