From the Old Testament,  we learnt that loans to the poor were to be interest-free, outstanding debts cancelled every 7 years and property that was sold or redeemed be returned to its original owner. Why? Because God wanted His people to depend on Him, not possessions. So, He cautioned them, "When ... all you have is multiplied ... You may say ... 'My power  and ... strength ... have produced this' ... remember the Lord ...it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth ...' (Deuteronomy 8:13-18). God's principles have not changed. He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). "Don't worry about these things ... your Heavenly Father knows ... and ... will give you everything you need" (Matthew 6:31-33).
