Can't you wait a little longer?

Proverbs 22:7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower [is] servant to the lender.

If I may paraphrase what Dave Ramsey said, "some people buy the things they don't need, with money they don't have, inorder to impress the people they don't like and yet those people don't care at all." What is funny is that sometimes they don't even afford those things and since they have to get it now, they borrow to get it. 

But can't they wait a little longer upon the Lord to meet that need without necessarily entering into debt? Definitely they can. Why become a slave of another man through borrowing and losing your freedom to them? Why spend tomorrow's freedom away by careless spending today, impatient spending today or going for loans? It's because we have been sold a lie by the world that we cannot succeed without debt. The advert on TV also appeals to your appetite that newer is stylish and is in vogue. True it is stylish but examine whether it is necessary to have it now or you can afford it without making you unable to spend on basic needs. 

I heard accounts of campus students spending on nails, clothes, phones etc and yet are the ones diagnosed of ulcers for having spent days without eating! And when they are to eat they eat snacks! They don't want to cook for themselves. They also give people to wash their clothes. I don't even have to talk about money spent on data yet they can use free WiFi! Instead of waking up very early and walk to lecture rooms, they grab a Boda B. 

We ought to be more wise about our money decisions on a daily basis. If we where a little more wiser in blocking the money leaks, we can save up for anything the Lord wants us to spend on. A few shillings which we take for granted once saved overtime. The few expenses we can do away with are the leaks which cause people to say, "I don't know where my money goes for all these years I have been working, I need deliverance Pastor."

Let that song of "I don't know where my money goes" which is common to many never continue with you or your children.
