Settle Your Indebtedness

by Olawale Ogunsola

"Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law." Romans 13:8.

Among the Kingdom candidates, the above verse is well known both in Prayer and Bible study. As much as you, as one of them, will not pray to be a debtor to anyone for many reasons, including obeying the above Scriptures and others like it, it is true that you are still indebted without caring to pay. When you do, it is reluctantly or absent-mindedly done.

The above verse also points to the fact that you have to love others. This is also confirmed by many Scripture verses. Do you love enough? If yes, you have to demonstrate your love to your Creditor beginning from now.

Do you know that the Lord knows that you cannot settle the "Bill" in full? However, He expects you to constantly pay the part you can. He will not be happy you don't care to pay any amount from the debt that you owe.

What is the nature of the debt? It is Thanksgiving. It is a debt payable in installments and the rate is determined by you which will be acceptable to your Creditor. You can also pay it anytime and anywhere without any objections.

It is the will of God to give Him thanks. Do you love the Lord your God? One effective way to show your love for Him is to do His will. And His will for you is to thank Him. In what will you thank Him? In everything, 1 Thessalonians 5:18. Why? This is because everything works together for good for those who love God, (Romans 8:28). Do you love God? Thank Him for everything that works for good in your life.

The Scriptures disclose,
"Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. Psalm58:18.

A daily load of good things is made available to you. A daily load of benefits deserves a daily load of *Thank You, Jesus*. Or what do you think of this? If you cannot provide a commensurate or equivalent quantity, you ought to provide something appreciable. Failure to do this will keep you permanently a debtor.

A Reminder.
Beloved reader, please if you believe that the Lord your God had always been good to you but somehow forgot His goodness to you, remind yourself as the Psalmist observed,
"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:" Psalm 103:2

If you remember all His benefits, you are to thank Him. A daily load of benefits deserves a daily load of thanks. Stay blessed and prepared for the imminent coming of the Lord.
