THE LOVE OF MONEY

The Love of Money

when the Bible says the "love of money is the root of all evil", it is not saying that money in itself is evil. The same Bible declares that "money answers all things". We all like money and it is my prayer that you receive multiple sources of financial income.

However, the love of money has to do with inordinate lust for it that will make a person do anything, fair or foul, to make money. The love of money has sent many to early graves and has truncated many destinies in mental homes and prisons.

The rising spate of crime and spiritual buffonery is as a result of the love of money. People are willing to abandon common sense and human empathy as long as it will bring home some undeserved money.

Why corruption in government, church and the world at large? Its all because someone wants to take the slightest advantage to milk money out of others.

Why would someone sell rubber rice? Why will someone use poisonous chemicals to preserve food? Why will someone smsell expired drugs and food? Why will a judge and police overlook obvious crime? Why would a journalist distort a story? Why will politicians lie, insult and accuse each other? - Its all about the _love of money._

Today, so-called Prophets of God chant money in church and give out lotto numbers in the Name of Jesus. Today, young people sell their souls to the devil under many occultic groups and secret societies. Human sacrifices and spiritual manipulations has become the order of the day. Today, fetish priests and occults are on television preaching quick money solutions.

Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. This money he didn't even eat a dime of it. The love of money drove him to a shameful death. (Matt. 26:14-16). Balaam the Prophet was nearly struck dead by an Angel because he chose to be influenced by money rather than the perfect will of God.

There are many Judas Iscariots, Balaams, Gehazis, Annanais and Sapphiras in the earth today who are willing to do anything and everything to get some money. The outcome is rising crime, death and destruction of souls.

I recently heard a song with lyrics thar goes like - "if i no get this money, wey tin I gain?" To wit - if i don't get money, what have I gained?. I thought the Bible rather taught that even if we gained the whole world and lost our soul it profits us nothing.

Biblical principles are being dragged in the mud, morality is losing its stand and humans are no longer thinking like we were created in the image of God all because *money* has become a god bigger than Almighty God Himself.

No wonder God is compared to money in this scripture :
[NLT] - Matthew 6:24
_“No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money._

Work hard and be honest in your dealings: don't allow money to block your destiny : it is God who gives power to make wealth and adds no sorrow. May God bless you financially in Jesus Name
