He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. Deuteronomy 28.44

Failing to comply with the Word causes a Christian to live unworthily, full of debts and problems. Those who do not have the judgment of God formed in their hearts lead a shameful life, borrowing from all people. That is why they are often shunned by friends and relatives. Now, that is the reward for rebellion, and it is not part of God’s plan for His people. So, we have to preach the Good News to everyone!

Not asserting your rights in Christ will make you someone oppressed by the devil’s hatred, and without fellowship with the Lord, your faith will begin to weaken. Without the strengthening of the Almighty, no one will resist the onslaughts of the kingdom of darkness. The apostle Paul, a champion in world evangelism in his days, said: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4.13).

At the first sign of spiritual sloppiness – which happens by not seeking to know what God’s Word says – Hell sends its soldiers to tempt the person who cools down in faith. Is this happening to you? If so, you will begin to act strangely toward people, and then you may come to deny the Lord. Now, living by faith should be our highest purpose. Always put the Kingdom first (Matthew 6.33)!

The Most High has already spoken about it: Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him (Hebrews 10.38). Never turn back, for by walking by faith you will determine what you want, and this will be done for you by Jesus himself, who said: Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to my Father (John 14.12).

Our position before the Lord is one of supremacy over Hell. We need to be more involved in the divine work, for God wants us to have power equal to that which Christ received when He came into the world. To masterfully fulfill the mission given by the Father, Jesus obtained the authority that made Him even resurrect the dead. He said that we also have the same calling, so let’s believe and act on this truth!

We don’t need to borrow any money, especially if it comes from someone who doesn’t even know the Lord. When someone serves God with wisdom and anointing, his financial, emotional and physical life becomes an example of the care of the Most High. People will seek them to know the secret. The answer must be given according to the Word; in it, we will see that the Father will always lead us in triumph.

The Bible says: And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28.13a), because for this you have been called to the Kingdom of Heaven. For those who don’t want to win, the question remains: “Does a suffering, miserable and sinful life please the Lord?” The answer is NO. So, get right with the Master by confessing your sins, and you will see your life change for the better in every way. God truly loves you!

In Christ, with love,
