There is an angel assigned to the recording and collection of vows. That is how seriously God takes vows. Ecclesiastes 5:6 the that when a vow defaulter prays, instead of getting an answer to the prayer, he/she gets Gods anger. Then it goes ahead to say that God could destroy the work of their hands too! It should be very clear to you that it is better not to make a vow at all than to make one and not fulfil it. Think very carefully before you make any vows. It is a terrible thing to make a vow to God and not fulfil it. The Bible puts the people who do such in the same category as those who say there is no God - fools. Many people have made vows based on resources that they don't have. While they may claim to be making such vows by faith, is it not better to say Lord if you give me this contract, then I will give you so and so per cent of the money than to make vows beyond your actual present reality? Now, in case you have made a vow you did not fulfil, if, at all you can, I advise you to quickly go ahead and do so now. If it is, however, something that you cannot fulfil, then you should go before God pleading for mercy. Acts 17:30 says: "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent: "So go ahead and cry to Him for mercy, but now that you know, ensure you don't make vows carelessly again.
