Why You Should Not Borrow

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

For the LORD your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you. Deuteronomy Chapter 15 verse 6 

The Lord will open for you His good treasure house, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. Deuteronomy Chapter 28 verse 12

But you shall remember [with profound respect] the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore (solemnly promised) to your fathers, as it is this day. Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verse 18


You are a lender to the nations. Why should a lender to the nations borrow especially when God says you will not borrow?  Secondly, the Bible says that God will give you power to get wealth. The Lord Who promises to give you power to get wealth will always ensure that wealth accrues to you so that you will always have more than enough to live on. But you must be productively engaged like the wise and faithful servants who received five and two talents each. They deployed the talents diligently and multiplied them. Beloved, if you are productively engaged in financially, mentally and spiritually rewarding activities, God will honor His word and bless all the work of your hands as stated in Deuteronomy Chapter 28 verses 12, 8; 30 verse 9, 24 verse 19, 23 verse 20, 16 verse 15, 15 verse 18, 10, 12 verses 7 and 18.  Additionally, God in His infinite mercies and wisdom will give you the wisdom you require to own unlimited financial resources so that you always operate in and walk in financial dominion. The Biblical King Solomon is a classic example.
