Decisions Decide Wealth 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Borrowing is often a symptom of impatience and impatience usually births hasty actions such as borrowing at high interest rates. As much as possible, always seek the face of God before borrowing money. When the indebted prophet’s widow cried to Elisha, Elisha did not instruct her to borrow money to repay the loan that had culminated in debt bondage for her two sons. Instead, he asked her what she had at home. She replied that she had a jar of oil. That was all Elisha required - something the woman could hold on to and trade in for the very urgently required financial resources to offset her late husband’s debt so that her two sons would not go into debt bondage.

You may argue that Elisha asked her to borrow vessels. Beloved, those were resources she would need to house the multiplying oil to the capacity that would fetch the money to pay off the debt as well as generate sufficient money for her and her sons to live on. These vessels would also serve to package the oil for sale to her neighbours and as the oil was sold for money, the vessels would be returned to the owners. This way, she would access vessels at no extra cost and earn money from what she had.

Borrowing should always be at the clear leading of God and not necessarily the circumstances that appear insurmountable.

Always resist the urge to borrow. Treat it the same way you would treat the urge to sin. This is because the Bible says that you would lend unto the nations (Deuteronomy Chapter 15 verse 6, 28 verses 12 to 13). Why then contradict Scriptures by borrowing and not lending?

The panacea to borrowing is to call forth the resources you need in prayers, daily prophetic utterances (Isaiah Chapter 41 verses 18 to 20, Matthew Chapter 7 verses  7 to 11, 1^st Kings Chapter 18 verses 41 to 46) and if need be fasting. Thereafter, thank God for the speedy manifestation and then patiently await the sure to come manifestation.
