#DAPFDAY12: ATTITUDE TO DEBTS (2Kings 4:7) Money is a spirit and who has inner ears will know when money is coming to him. It is tragedy when you meet people to borrow you money but unable to fulfil it. It makes them to suffer financially. If you owe God, man or an organisation, make every effort to pay up. God expects us to live a debt-free life (Deut 15:6). Psalms 37:21 says it takes a heart of mercy to return what is borrowed. This means that if you borrowed something or some money but fail to repay out of choice or you do not make serious effort to repay, you lack mercy, you are heartless and wicked. You are simply repaying evil for good done to you. What does the scripture say about that? When a similar thing was done to David, he decreed that his offenders should by all means come under a wicked boss or leader, and that Satan should personally supervise their misfortune, and that in their judgement there should be no appeal, their prayer should become an abomination to God, their life-span should be shortened, they should be replaced and that this judgement should be extended to their families too (Ps 109:5-10)! The gravity of this is so enormous! Are you returning evil for good done to you? You dont know the trouble you are courting! (Prov 17:13) It simply means if you are working against those who are working for you or you are repaying with evil the good things done to you, evil will make you their headquarter. You can be certain that in such life, evil happenings will be a normal occurrence. There are some leaders who were supported by their assistants but instead of the leaders helping them up, they sat on their progress. They too are not exempted from this fate as there is no respect of persons with God. Have you in any way repaid evil of those doing good to you, whether in error or deliberately? Go and meet them and restitute. Release their promotion you sat upon today. Whatever you need to do to make them happy, go ahead and do it now. If you restitute, it is for your own good. If you dont, you cannot avoid the harvest you have triggered. Some debtors may tell their creditors or say to themselves, since you want me to repay the money you loaned me, I will pay it back in such a way that you will be unable to gather the moeny to do anything useful with it. Such a debtor will pay back but will still suffer the evil consequences of wickedness. if you owe, you should make repayment a priority. You could even starve yourself of food or daily needs just to repay at the fastest possible time as agreed with your creditor. This is an act of righteousness. TAKE THIS PRAYER My Father, make a way for me to pay off my debts and grant me wisdom to live within my means. Let me never have cause to borrow again in Jesus name
