Wisdom I: How God Got Me Out of Debt [Audio & Video]

  I was a born again, Spirit filled, faith-believing, on-fire Christian. I tithed and gave offerings. I had been pastor of two churches, traveled on the missions field, and I had a genuine experience with God. Yet at the same time, I was in debt up above my eyebrows. All because of lack of wisdom about money. The Bible says that the borrower is a slave to the lender. Even though I was doing certain things, right, my use of credit was keeping me bound and defeated. On this video, I share how God got me out of debt over a period of years. There were many blessings and miracles along the way that helped to bring me out of debt, but godly wisdom was the key to making those blessings count towards the goal of becoming financially free. So often we think that we need a miracle from God to get us out of our mess. God does do miracles! But sometimes what we need most is wisdom from the Lord. This applies to financial difficulties or any other problem in life. Enjoy this video! Don’t be condemned! Just realize that the Lord loves you and has a good plan for your life. Follow that plan and you’ll be blessed! Notes: HOW GOD GOT ME OUT OF DEBT Reading: 1 Kings 3:3-15 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. (1Kings 3:9-13, AV). MT Jesus will give you wisdom to be successful in life! Sometimes we think what we need is a miracle, or a breakthrough. But often what we most need is wisdom. Then when the miracle comes we will know how to handle it. Lottery winners often go broke after a few years. WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. (Proverbs 4:7-8, AV). WISDOM WILL CAUSE YOU TO INHERIT SUBSTANCE I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. (Proverbs 8:12-21, AV). We are not talking about being greedy here, but God wants you blessed, and He blesses through wisdom. -Wisdom is a person. -Wisdom comes through prayer. James if any lacks wisdom, let him ask of God. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: (1Corinthians 1:30, AV). NKJV became for us….. WISDOM IN FINANCES The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. (Proverbs 22:7, AV). When you are in debt, you make decisions based on the lender. You are the servant. When you are free of debt, you are more free to follow the Lord.
