My Emphasis
In the Book of II Kings, a widow came to Prophet Elisha because her husband's creditors had come to enslave her two sons. The woman had nothing apart from a little jar of oil – (see II Kings 4:1-7). Many of us capitalise on the miracle that was performed, but we fail to consider what might have caused it. The same enemy that showered the husband with poverty continued to afflict his children. But because the Prophet of God was around, he quickly put an end to generational debt. This was why the Father gave an Ordinance of remission of debt so that the generation would not have to suffer – (see Deuteronomy 15:1 and 31:10).
Many years ago, when I was living in Austria, my Bank introduced a type of credit called 'generational credit,' meaning that if a man took a loan, his children and their generation would continue repaying it. It sounds good simply because your monthly repayment amount is low. However, the long-term problem this would cause to the generation would become unbearable. Years later, another type of credit was introduced, 'buy now and pay next year'. Many people thought it was good because they don't have to pay now. But the item you bought would have packed up before you start paying back. As children of God, what is highly esteemed in the sight of men is an abomination to Almighty God.
If your parents owed anyone before they died, it's your responsibility to repay as long as you're still part of that family, so that your children won't suffer what they don't know. If you don't want to pay back, then you should disassociate yourself from the family tree forever, both physically and spiritually. That is the only way.
