One deadly habit of Christians nowadays is making a vow and not fulfilling it. Either it be to man or God. It is a very bad, dangerous and harmful habit every child of God must avoid doing.

Even a s the Bible itself has warned us against making vows and not fulfilling them. Most times we make vows to God, without being able to fulfill them, and then we conclude that God understands and will have mercy on us.

No this is wrong, even if Christ will forgive us when we commit such offence, it alson has it’s repercussion and effect in our lives.

Verse six of our bible reference says, “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?” This affirms the truth that it is a dangerous thing not to pay your vows to God – Nothing could be more dangerous than this.

You should never break your vow or promise to man, to your children, to your employer or employee and most importantly to your spouse (your marriage vows).

Let’s Pray.
Heavenly Father, I repent of all the unfulfilled vows I have made to you and to man, help me to make amends now without further delay.
