Money....money...money...!

I Timothy 6:10-12 NKJV

For the love of money is a root of all kinds  of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Shalom! Day #32. Do you know each one of us has been entrusted by God to fight the good fight of faith? Let's pray. Father, we pray that we will never be slaves to money and that You may strengthen our faith so we can overcome poverty mentality and making money as our main priority. Help us Holy Spirit.  In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Having plentiful of money is not a sin but being a slave to it is a sin. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Money itself isn't the root of all kinds of evil, but take note here, FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY. If you love money more than anything else, more than God Himself,  it is the root of all kinds of evil. People are willing to kill one another just for money. Siblings are willing to kill one another just to attain riches. Even a dead body will open its mouth if you show a million dollars. Because of chasing money, believers are willing to work on the rest day of God. Instead of chasing after God,  they chase after money. If you honor God, He knows how to honor you back. Matthew 6:33 is a profound truth. If you learn to seek God first and putting God as your main priority,  God knows how to bless you back and provide all that you need. Simply because the love of money, many go through painful sorrow. Everyone striving to get rich. And let me introduce to you, here comes Mr. Get Rich Scheme!

But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Seeking the kingdom of God is all about seeking His righteousness, godliness,  building our faith to trust in Him, filling our live with the abundance of His love, being patience in every kind of situation and gentleness serving one another. And finally, fight the good fight of faith. I always read this inscription on the tomb stones, but actually, this saying is for all. Fight the good fight against all power and principalities of the darkness,  fight against every form of love upon money. Many pastors, church leaders are found wanting for money, the love of money, coveting money and that's the main reason they fall. Once a good name is tarnished, it's very hard to get it clean back, unless you are falsely accused. So yeah, fight the good fight of faith. Let your faith be rooted in God that you may be able to fight against every kind of temptations especially in handling money. You have to overcome the poverty mentality or else you will be crippled by it the rest of your life!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
