DELIVERANCE FROM THE BURDEN OF DEBTS

Memorise:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. .. Luke 4:18

Read:
2 Kings 4:1-7

Message

Today, I will discuss the burden of debt as another category of burdens. Some years ago, we had a housemaid who would always sing,"The fire is burning the bush, and the bush is not consumed. How great is our God!" every time we asked her to bring up a song during our family prayers. One day, it occurred to me to ask her what the unconsumed bush she always sang about was. When I did, I discovered that she became a housemaid because her parents were heavily in debt and could not pay their bills. Therefore, we decided to pay off all the debt. After paying the debt, the next time we asked her to suggest a song when we wanted to pray, she sang something different. This time, her song was,"He has done it for me. What my father cannot do, He has done it for me." If you are under any burden of debt, I pray that this will also be your song soon, in Jesus ' name.

Today 's Bible reading tells us the story of the widow of pne of the sons of the prophets who was in debt. When the creditors threatened to sell her sons into slavery as a means to offset the debts, she cried unto the Burden Bearer, as there was nothing she could do on her own, and the tide turned. God gave her more than enough to pay her debts and live comfortably with her sons.

It is God 's desire for all His children to live debt-free because debts are heavy burdens, and debtors are always at the mercy of their creditors. This is why Proverbs 22:7 says that the borrower is a servant to the lender. The only thing God permits you to owe other people is love (Romans 13:8). If you are currently struggling under a heavy burden of debt, call unto Him today and ask Him to turn your financial situation around for good. No matter the size of the debt, the Burden Bearer will step in and help you to overcome it, As 2 Corinthians 9:8 says, He is able to make all grace abound towards you and give you sufficiency in all things. He will not only ensure that you become debt- ltee, but He will give you the power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18) and make you a lender to nations (Deuteronomy 15:6). I pray that God will bless you with His abundance and indeed make you a lender to nations, in Jesus ' name.

Bible In One Year:

When Peace Like A River Attendeth My Way

RCCG Hymn

When peace, like a river attendeth my way

  1. When peace, like a river attendeth my way.
    When sorrows, like sea billows roll;
    Whatever my lot. Thou has taught me to know,
    "It is well, it is well with my soul

  2. It is well,... With my soul,...
    It is well, it is well with my soul


  3. Though Satan should buffet.
    It trials should come.
    Let this blest assurance control.
    That Christ hath regarded my Helpless estate.
    And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
  4. My sin- Oh, the bliss of this glorious thought
    My sin-not in part, but the Whole
    Is nailed to His cross; and I bear it no more:
    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord.O my soul.
  5. For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live!
    If Jordan above me shall roll.
    No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
    Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
  6. .But the Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait.
    The sky, not the grave, is our te', goal:
    Oh, triumph of the angel! oh, voice of the Lord!
    Blessed hope! Blessed rest of my soul.
