BORROWING AND LENDING MONEY

Introduction

The plans of God for His people is for blessing, for good and not evil, to open for them His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. (Deut. 28:12).

His plan for you is not to borrow, but to lend, and even in lending, the Lord is not thinking of lending to people for interest, NO!  But, lending to help people who are experiencing drought in their lives.   God says "You shall not borrow"  because the people of God, who walk in obedience to His Word, should be empowered with the provision of God and should not have to borrow.
