18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

MFM Daily Devotional 5 May 2024 MESSAGE

Dear reader, you must not allow the enemy to put you in financial bondage. Avoid his bait and hook at all cost. Also, guard your finances wisely and jealously. You must be sober and vigilant. You must not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy. Here are more reasons why people suffer from financial bondage.

To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

(16) Altars of poverty. If an altar of poverty has been erected against a person with the vow that the person will never make it, such an evil altar often put their victims in financial bondage and must be pulled down and destroyed spiritually.

(17) Direct attack from satan. This was what happened to Job in Job 1:13-19. He lost so much in a day.

(18) Habitual sin puts people in financial bondage because it attracts the curse of poverty (Deuteronomy 28: 15-16).

(19) Outbreak of pestilence and famine causes poverty and financial bondage.

(20) Stinginess and selfishness are major hooks of financial bondage. I advise you to be rich towards God and be a generous and cheerful giver.

(21) Lack of mercy. In James 2:13, the Bible says, “For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.” 

(22) Territorial demotion in business. There are some territories where some businesses cannot prosper. Some environments also work against some people’s financial breakthrough and prosperity. Such businesses and individuals should pray for their deliverance or relocate from there.

(23) Demonic possession. When a demon is inside a person, as the person moves about, he distributes the spirit all over. If you employ a demonized person in your business, you will have problems.

(24) Keeping the company of a cursed person. If you are in a business partnership with a cursed person, you are courting trouble.

When you are paying your own tithe to the Lord, he will be paying his own to the devil. So there will be problems. (25) Receiving strange money. If polluted money comes into a person’s hands, it can take away the one he or she already has or cause financial bondage.
