HEAVENLY FINANCES:DEBT
Debt is an issue that really is a great concern for us. Unfortunately most children of God,(especially in the Western world),are caught in this death trap.
Once you are in it it is extremely difficult to get out of it for the world banking system is thriving on debt. Even governments
around the world are running their budgets on debt and no
capital.
Debt is therefore money that do not really exist,while capital are
the real money value of any government or person.When we see debt
from this point of view we immediately give debt a second thought.
In other words if you have debt that do not generate capital or
sufficient capital to pay off your outstanding debt and in the
process you are really running your finances on money that do not
really exist.
This is not God's way for us to spend ourselves right into this trap. His way:
Be satisfied with what you do have. Live inside your means and most of all obey God's principles regarding finances. How then do
we get out of debt? Here are some practical ways that works for
most of us:
-Acknowledge your problem of debt. Put it before the feet of Christ Jesus.
-With the guidance of the Holy Spirit budget your debt vs your
income.
-Tithe. Always put tithing first as well as the offering (seed). Follow the Holy Spirit. Do not worry if it is only a small amount. The more you sow out of obedience and a pure heart the
more your seed will increase.
-Make arrangements with your debtors to pay them each month until all outstanding debt are payed off. Be honest and offer
the amount you budgeted. Keep your commitments.
-Keep away from making more debt.
-Clean up house. Everything that you do not need or used within
a year,give it away or even sell it and pay of on your outstanding debt.
The whole key here is to live a life of simplicity. A life of
simplicity means I live within my means with the best which I
can afford.
Move to a smaller place if you do not need a mansion. Settle for
a smaller less expensive vehicle. Eat less out. Cut on holidays.
Once again follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The beauty of it is the freedom you regain over your life.
-Enjoy this journey and trust your Provider. The more you are
faithful the more you shall experience miracles regarding your finances.
