The Love Of Money

Matthew 6:24
“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
1 Timothy 6:3
[ Love of Money ] If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
2 Timothy 3:2
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
Money is one of the few things we as a people need to purchase our food, clothing, homes, vehicles and other necessities in life.
But many people are ‘In Love” with money, they work around the clock, they invest and reinvest, sadly along the way, they forget what they have.
Today I can names countless celebrities who make Millions and some even Billions and many of them, continue to search for more and more ways to make more money.
They look at their worth and feel it has been through their hard work and effort that has given them their grand success, or has it?
This is where I recall reading scripture and the Lord reminds us that “We have Stolen from Him!” Whether it’s not tithing our 10% or giving to those the Lord wishes us to help, such as the hungry, homeless, those who are sick or needy.
The point is, that every good thing comes from the Father, if wealth comes our way, it was through the Lord, not by anything we could have done on our own.
How often do we see these kinds of people boast about what they have?
With all their fame and fortune, many do not have the ONE thing that will Always remain Solid in their Life, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.
Without Christ, it would be impossible to inherit the Kingdom of God, impossible to have the chance to eternal happiness and Salvation.
If the Lord Jesus Christ Has Blessed You, remember those who have not been so fortunate and the Lord will continue Blessing you now and in His Eternal Kingdom.
If you use this Blessing in helping others, the Lord will bless you more than you could ever imagine….
