KEY NUMBER 3 :
FREE YOURSELF FROM BORROWING
People use many reasons to justify and defend borrowing. However, you will agree with me that borrowing is a chain and a weight that has put and continue to keep many people all over the world in serious trouble.
In Scriptures, I recall the story of the man of God in 2 KIngs chapter 4 who died and left behind him debts which caused the lender to make his sons slaves.
For that reason, IN 2018, I pray that the Lord Almighty will grant someone grace and favor to be free from borrowing.

Here are the biblical truths that made me free and I believe will do the same to you :
1st truth : Borrowing is an act showing you don't trust God enough.
2nd truth : Borrowing is an act showing you don't wait upon God. It is like for you God is too slow.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
3rd truth : Borrowing gives the lender power over you (to oppress you, to torment you, to abuse you...)
Proverbs 22:26-27 (BBE) 26 Be not one of those who give their hands in an agreement, or of those who make themselves responsible for debts: 27 If you have nothing with which to make payment, HE WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR BED FROM UNDER YOU.
4th truth : Borrowing makes you a slave to the lender
Proverbs 22:7 "The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender."
5th truth : Borrowing never solves any problem. It postpones it in the future and sometimes makes it worse
Read 2 Kings 4:1-7...the creditor has come to take my two children as servants in payment of his debt.
6th truth : NOT BORROWING IS A COMMAND FROM THE LORD. IT IS NOT AN OPTION ...
Deuteronomy 15:6 "For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but THOU SHALT NOT BORROW; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee."
Deuteronomy 28:12 "The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and THOU SHALT NOT BORROW.
Romans 13:8 "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law."
7th TRUTH BY FAITH IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE A STRESS-FREE AND DEBT-FREE LIFE
Mark 9:23 (KJV) Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that believeth.
WHAT TO DO ?
1. By faith, make up your mind to stop borrowing and to trust totally and fully the Lord
2. By faith, discipline yourself and put in place a plan for paying the debts
3. By faith, be content with what you have and avoid living beyond your financial capacity
Hebrews 13:5 "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
4. By faith, believe it is possible to live a debt-free life
I believe God is able to deliver you from the yoke of debts on your shoulder by the power of his anointing (Isaiah 20:27)
= PRAYER = PRAYER = PRAYER =
Pray God to open heaven upon your head and grant you financial breakthrough to be able to clear your debts and to be from them for ever
SO SHALL IT BE!
JESUS IS LORD!
