What does the Bible say about making vows to God

Part (B)

HI Things to remember when you make your vows before God.

1.Serve God with fear and trembling for He made us and not we, so we are in His creating and when we pray, we enter into his presence.

2.All the vows that you make is being recorded by an angle and one day we will give an account of each man's words.

3.When you pray BeCareful for your mouth will cause you to sin if you fail to pay your vows before God

4.Don't fail to pay your vows and cause God to destroy the works of your hands.

It's written in

( Ecclesiastes 5:4-6 kjv)

4.When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

5. Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

6. Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands

pray to God to give you understanding Amen

Part (A)

Hi

Please Pray for understanding which Cames from God.

Remember its written in James 1:8 a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

So, when you came to the alter to pray you are communicating with God and God does hear our prayers.

Remember Cornelius when he was in his room Praying and an angle appeared to him to and said.

(Your Prayers have been Heard)

Acts 10:31

31 and said, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your [a]alms are remembered in the sight of God.

As indicated by the word of God, our Prayers are heard and God takes our prayers seriously, In the book of Hebrews we see that the prophets prayed by faith and God answered their Prayers and Shut heavens and no rain poured for three years.

So, it's important when one makes a vow before God to be able to perform it by fulfilling what you have told God you will do.

(For teaching purposes)

For example, a young man once prayed before God and ask God to help him go to a foreign country and he will preach the Gospel to the world. Within few days or weeks God answered His prayers and opened that chance to happen. Now that young man had received his request and one day God opened the chance for His word to be preached around the world though that young man.

Now if this young man preaches the gospel, he will perform his vows Before God. but if he fails to do so then he will be a fool who has not kept his word before God, and a double minded man unstable in his way.

Its also important to note that God is faithful who will also do it.

So while Praying before God be sure what you request you will do it, or else do ask if you know you will be unable to pay your vows before God.
