Haggai 1:6 You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but you have not enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earns wages earns wages to put it into a bag with holes.
[6] Unfaithfulness in tithes and offerings. This final, but very important contributing factor is quite often overlooked as one of the root causes of mounting debt. When you have apparently done everything right, when you have listened to all of the financial gurus, and you still seem to make no headway, the cause can be in the area of tithes and offerings….. Haggai 1: 5 Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
Just as soon as beneficence is put on hold, just as soon as more is withheld than that which is due, we will often find ourselves slipping into more debt, so that persons will be taking one step forwards and two steps backwards. As developed countries cut the purse strings which were pledged to help poorer nations, national debt has skyrocketed at the same time. That is because the principles of inflow and outflow, which God has ordained, are being violated, in favor of self-serving principles.
The Bible puts it this way, that when benevolence is restricted, inflows would also be restricted and even that which is received by such entities, or persons is going to be wasted on nothingburgers. Poor choices will be made and funds will be wasted in many ways but the real cause may go undetected for years…. Haggai 1:7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
Haggai 1:2 Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the Lord's house should be built. 3 Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying, 4 Is it time for you, O you, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste?
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
