Category: AVOID DEBT BY ALL MEANS

“1 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves”.

Nothing makes one a slave like being in debt. Debt knows no boundary, the repercussion goes beyond one’s expectation at the end. To be in debt is to be under the control of someone else. Debts disgrace, embarrass, reproach and sideline one in life. 

Prov. 22:7, says, 

“The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender.”

Borrowing makes you a servant to the lender. 

Now, borrowing may be wise when you are investing in an existing business but not wise when starting a new business. Some borrow to show off. Some borrow to compete with friends, it’s unwise to borrow for pleasure.

The widow’s late husband was indebted with a large sum of money  to the extent of quantifying his two sons with the debt, too outrageous. He died without paying the debt which put the woman in a slavery position. 

Avoid debt, it’s enslaves and ridicules one. It puts a question mark on your character. I pray we enjoy the wisdom to be delivered from every forms of debt In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Do have a wonderful week in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
