What atrocity have people not committed because of money?
Some business men and
women have lied and visited herbalists so as to make more money. Some politicians
have killed or maligned their fellows; others have thrown integrity to the wind
and loathed the public fund. There have been cases of people who used the blood
of their family member to make money, or a part of their body. Some children of
God have taken up some questionable appointments and dabbled into some dirty
businesses in the name of making money. People go this far because of their
love for money. Money is not evil because the bible didn’t say so. Without money
you can’t eat or take care of yourself. Without money you can’t own a house. Money
is good. It is the love of money that leads to evil. The love of money leads to
greed and avarice. It leads to pride and selfishness. It leads to backbiting
and slandering. It leads to lying and stealing. People have played all kinds of
tricks so as to have money. Some others have joined secret cults and taken all
kinds of risk just because they want to be in the possession of money. The love
of money is the desire and devotion to money. There are people who take money
as a god. They follow the laws and commandments of money but never pay
attention to God. This is idolatry. The desire for money is insatiable. This is
the reason you find out that our leaders are never satisfied. Even though they
have huge bank accounts, they still perpetrate evil so as to make more money. What
is your relationship with money? Money is meant to serve holy purposes. Any money
that comes to you is meant to handle a situation in your life. Submit your money to God and ask God to
direct you and decide for you how you should use your money.
