RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. BE HONORABLE -PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME PHD WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13TH 2016.
The
wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and
giveth (Psalm 37:21).
Someone
once asked, "Does God bless borrowed money, including borrowed money given
to Him as offerings and seed?"
There's
nothing wrong if you borrow money, but make sure you pay back; otherwise, God
doesn't like it. The Bible describes the one who doesn't pay his or her debt as
wicked. God wants you to serve Him with wholehearted devotion, and willingness
of mind, but at the same time, with honesty. Your integrity should be
impeccable.
There're
people who don't have credibility, and don't care about their integrity. When
they owe, they refuse to pay, and start praying for debt cancellation. Others
deliberately stay away or hide from their creditors. This is wrong; it's the
way of the wicked. The word "wicked" in our opening verse describes
one whose ways are perverse; someone who isn't walking in the light of God; and
that shouldn't be you. If you owe any debt, don't let it linger; pay promptly.
Most
people who don't pay back when they borrow, lack integrity, and as a result,
they delay their own blessing. If you're an employer, don't owe your employees
their salaries. When people work for you, don't delay their payments. We've
been called to live a higher life. We're the light of the world. Let the
character of Christ be expressed through you always, and in all things.
PRAYER
Dear
Father, I rejoice greatly, because I know that you care for me, and all of my
needs have been entered into your supply system. I don't lack any good thing,
and I owe no one, for I'm abundantly supplied; I'm prosperous, and in all
circumstances, self-sufficient, requiring no aid or support. Thank you Father,
for all things are mine, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
