AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ecclesiastes 5:4 ¶ When you make a vow or a pledge to God, do not put off paying it; for God takes no pleasure in fools [who thoughtlessly mock Him]. Pay what you vow. [Ps 50:14; 66:13, 14; 76:11] |
Bible Question: What about if not paying my vow or late?What God do or say?Is it curse? |
Bible Answer: First you should search your heart and share with God honestly why you are not paying your vow or are late. All our external words and actions reflect the conditon of our heart. Matthew 12:34-35 From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. And God has made the way through Jesus Christ to correct the heart so that the outward actions are holy and righteous. Confession is the first step to correction. God knows our heart but we must get honest with Him before He can help. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. When we commit to keep God's Word in areas He has convicted us in, as we walk in obedience, He changes our heart. he desires our hearts to be faithful. Once you have become honest with God, and confess and then repent, God can teach you cncerning faithfulness, and in the future being much more careful and prayerful before making a vow. "What about if not paying my vow or late? What God do or say? Is it curse?" It is sin and sin opens the door for Satan. through confession and repentence that door is closed and the accuser can no longer accuse you. Reread the above scripture. What does it say? Pay your vow! If it is financial and you are having difficulty, seek financial counseling but not to avoid paying, but rather to find the way to pay. Once your heart is committed to obedience, God will show you the way. Luke 16:10-12 God is faithful and as He through His Word and by the power f the Holy spirit transforms us into the image of Christ, faithfulness should be our character as well. God bless |
