THE LOVE OF GOD vs LOVE OF MONEY
Matthew 6:24 – No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Proverbs 30:8, Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
Please find somewhere to sit and listen to this sermon of the spirit. If you are eating, or talking, stop whatever you are doing and listen to what God has to tell you about the truth of life.
It is either you are in the control of money or money is in control of you. Poverty does not exclude anyone from the problem of the love of money. You can be poor and yet be a misery Christian. Also you could be very rich and yet be ready to kill just to get money.
The love of money has made lots of homes to suffer today. People just love money and show less concern for God. It is because of money that made some people to travel abroad and when they got there, they begin to show greater love for money.
A lot of Christians are selling things like beer, cigarettes, and hot drinks, just because they want to make money.
So many Christians are finding themselves doing some businesses that does not invite the presence of God and yet they are disturbing God about the breakthrough of that business.
The most worrisome part is, when some Christians would venture in this kind of business. They would tell you nothing is wrong. It is God that gave me the business ideas. So God would not allow me to fail. Same statements should be expected from a Harlot or prostitute woman.
Frankly speaking, We keep calling the name of God in vain and yet God is busy laughing at our foolishness day by day. Some people can just kill their entire family because of money.
Some Christians have no time for weekly services just because they have some urgent goods to sell or render to thier customers or clients..
Some people don’t even have time to wait to the end of church service. Hear this, any work that deprive you completely from serving God with your heart, it is witchcraft. Somebody who is praying to God on his knee might just received a call from his customers to stay connected in business matters. Are we really serving God or money?
