Financial InSecurity

Joyce C. Lock I once heard of a preacher
who would preach the same sermon
until the people would finally get it.

So, just incase you didn't get it the first time ...

Or, you didn't get it the second time ...

And, especially, if you didn't get it the third time ...

This one's for you ...

$ Financial InSecurity $

Owe no man any thing ...

Romans 13:8

1.) Borrowing is to do your banking with the devil.

2.) Every time you go in debt unnecessarily, you set yourself up for defeat by opening the door to financial bondage.

3.) Borrowing is to rob God of the opportunity to bless you.

4.) Borrowing (beyond for house and auto), even for need reasons, is a lack of faith that God is capable of providing or a matter of doubting that He will. And, believing anything less than that God loves you enough to be there for you is to side with Satan in calling God a liar. Though, God is capable of providing houses and cars, too.

5.) Borrowing for non-need reasons is like saying that God's provision for you isn't good enough.

6.) Going to the devil for your needs and wants, instead of bringing them to God, is not wise money management. Neither can it be blessed.

7.) God enjoys blessing us, as any loving father would. But, He also loves us enough to say, "No." Thus, when funds are not provided, God had something better in mind.

Trust God to do the most loving thing possible, knowing (while God does not always answer when, or even how, we think He should) He always answers in time. Being such, it is good to learn the value of patience (not only because waiting is for such a short time compared to the bondage that will otherwise occur, but) because victory comes from the Lord.

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run,
and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31

Trials are opportunities for getting to know God.

Welcome the lessons.
