DEBTS COMPLETELY GONE !

DEBTS ARE COMPLETELY GONE !

23/1/13

The promises of God that God revealed to me that He is with me in this is these 2 precious promises:-

 14 “Sacrifice thank offerings to God,
fulfill your vows to the Most High,
15 and call on me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you will honor me (Psalms 50:14-15)

and

14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.” (Psalms 91:14-16)

Credit card repayments can be so challenging especially when income is not consistent. However it this big mistake I made in my life, God came through to deliver and set us free.

The big mistake was using the card to help pay for our early days in running  and pioneering church services, and all other "ministry" things. A big error in judgment and a symptom that  God would reveal to me of something deeper than it is.

Last year, we actually paid RM1,000.00 plus to reduce the amount. However due to inconsistency the outstanding went up and down. It reached a point that was not making any payment.

Every month and week, my wife and I have been praying for a breakthrough in this. God showed me in the past that debt is equivalent to sin. Sin (ROM 1:28) is basically not acknowledging God and Lord in our lives. Doing things our own way and living our lives as though we are god and not Him.

This "error" as Jesus showed me was a symptom of something that God has been wanting me to deal with and yield to Him. It is Sin. We lived our lives and doing ministry shaken and stirred by circumstances and never rooted in prayer and steadfast in Him. 

Instead of letting Him lead and show the way, we dealt with things the way we "knew" how. The easiest, the fastest without much effort. In the end, led to this.

This week the Bank called me and offered me a solution. I owed RM4,100.00 ..they said since all these were interest and charges ..they told me if I could pay RM3,200.00, they will close the case and reinstate my financial credibility.

This came after God led me to pray and ask Him for the impossible. I asked Him to clear this debt from us this month..Its been too long carrying this pain in our lives and the constant calls from the Bank has been stress laden.

So when the Bank called, God helped me to recognised His hand in it. So for the past 3-4 days, my wife and I have been fasting and praying. 

God taught us precious lessons.

1. Repent of Sin and take our feet out of it forever.

2. Learn from error of inconsistent prayer in the past.

3. Let Him lead.

4. Even with this burden, just keep our eyes on Him 

5. Worship Him through it and after it.

Today, God woke me up (23/1/13) with faith in me knowing something good will happen to us today. My parents offered to loan us the amount. We decided to take the offer and will pay them back every month till the full amount.

Thank God for family and especially our parents. They will always be the ones that stand by you in it all.

Today, we walked into the Bank and banked in the RM3,200.00 and walked out in Jesus' victory.

God then spoke to me again in the car..He said to me, He wanted me to learn the last lesson in this which is that when we sin and play god, we bear the consequences of it alone. but when we repent and turn back to God and recognise that He is Lord and the one that paid a price so great for all our errors...SUCH MERCY !..not just because He loved us and we are His beloved..but because of His MERCY !!!

He still wanted me to pay back my parents but now its free of the stress of bank demands and interest..because He showed me how much of parents loved us, and He placed the power back into our hands.

So that is my story. Hope it blesses you too.
