GOD AND MONEY

GOD AND MONEY

Luke 16:10-13

Devotional Verse: -"No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." (Vs. 13)

 

    Every child of God must know that no one can make money his/her master and still have Jesus as his master. A master is someone from whom you take instructions and obey. Money been a mere paper and material should not govern human beings. But when we take it to be more important than God, then it becomes a master. Believing that it can always meet our needs, we make it our master and allow it to control our thoughts and actions. 

 

   The love of money has chased godliness from our land and brought problems to the nation. The truth is that, money is very important. It is so important because it is a means of exchange in the market. It can buy food but can’t be eaten. It can buy a car but can’t prevent accidents. It can build a house and even employ security guards but can’t give protection. This is why it is wrong to pursue money at the expense of God. 

 

    Though it is very important to labour to make money, you must learn to always give God priority in your life. You need to understand that you can’t replace God with money because it has its own limitations. Don’t submit to the leading of money, which is contrary to the will of God because it will hinder your help in the future. The pursuit of money is successful when God gives you the grace. Set your priority right with God and you will never lack any good things in Jesus name. Peace!

 

Prayer: Lord, make me a master over money in Jesus name

“MONEY AND GOD CANNOT BE YOUR MASTER AT THE SAME TIME”.
