What one does today for the sake of tomorrow, is called investment. What one does to enjoy today at the expense of tomorrow is called debt Clive Pick, Kingdom Economics Many people are bound by financial debt and bondage and do not realize that debt is a very powerful spiritual force. We have a choice whether we want to invest in the Force of Darkness or the Kingdom of God. The force of darkness rules the worldly system, which "captures" many people by means of financial bondage. It is the "Spirit of Mammon" who rules the reasoning causes an inability to be indebted without any logic- or rational thinking. It brings a "refusal to tithe" and results in shortfall of financial blessings in your life. The idea or train of thought not to tithe is planted by Satan by reason that "tithing was applicable in the Old Testament times" or similar reasoning. Choosing not to tithe, results in rebellion with God, as it is a "violation" of His Word. Witholding tithes, is taking that which is due to God. This money can no longer be a blessing to us, as we are taking from God which is rightfully His. A financial blessing is witheld from us and we become deeper entangled in financial bondage, as this is money which is cursed. Malachi 3:9 Remember, John 10:10 The Lord says that He wants us to live life in full, in abundance; not in poverty! Jesus said it is far more blessed to give than to receive… I agree! Psalm 35:27 Jeremiah 29:11 To be able to have a breakthrough in the physical, we have to start in the spiritual, for that is where the real problem is…. Ephesians 6:12 Proverbs 3:9;10 (MSG) Malachi 3:10 (MSG) If you were not tithing and therefore stealing from God, you need to repent before Him, and ask for forgiveness. Furthermore, take measures in a responsible manner to gain control over your financial situation by repaying your debt that you may become free from this hold. Seek wisdom and discipline from God in prayer. Remember,God says: “Honour me with everything you own, give Me the first and the best” If we tithe, God promise: “Your barns will burst, Your wine vats [joy] will brime over” Psalm 50:14,15 |
