God Offers You Freedom

“The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow”

Deuteronomy 28:12


Ponder This

Financial bondage is not God's plan for His people. (Nor is it a good plan for any nation!) Whoever you are in debt to, you are the servant of.

God doesn't want you, His child, to be the borrower; He wants you to be the lender. God doesn't want you to be the tail; God wants you to be the head.

God wants to bless His people above all the nations of the world, and He wants to give His people financial freedom. But so many people don't have financial freedom—they’re in financial bondage. The devil wants to keep you in bondage, and he doesn't care what kind of bondage you're in.

Practice This

Are you in financial bondage? God wants you out of that so you can serve Him freely. Today we are blessed to have a number of godly Christian ministries guiding believers to sound, biblical teaching, and freedom from debt. If you are under financial stress, contact one of them today. The Lord Jesus said, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).

FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY

Establish Roots to Grow

Just as plants need certain essentials to grow—light, water, and fertile soil—so do new Christians, babes in the faith. Without these essential basic truths of the faith, they will never establish strong roots or bear fruit. What Every Christian Ought to Know is a valuable volume for new Christians and young disciples and a suitably instructive resource for believers of all ages. This new paperback edition includes discussion questions for personal reflection or group study.
