If you always make sure others are well taken care of before yourself (in things that GOD approves, or things that pleases HIM" ) with your wealth or other things, you please GOD. The strong desire to satisfy your cravings/desires at the expense (or to the detriment) of others and yourself is Lust...This is bad. The worst is satisfying your evil desires like sex outside of marriage, stealing, pride, hate for good, lies, killings, witchcraft, etc. Doesnt matter if you're doing these for others, it's still sin and evil
✳Love of Money
So, why are we discouraged from loving money whereas Love is a good thing ... because being emotionally attached to money has too many bad side-effects. Loving it will make it hard for us to serve GOD & do what is right/good. It'll makes us to desire it more and work in ways that displease GOD to build it up esp for our selfish purposes. You will be tempted to build up too much wealth especially for your sinful desires while others around you are in need. We can't have too much while there are needy people around us.
Besides we are clearly discouraged from building up too much earthly wealth on earth because they don't last forever and can be stolen from us. Matthew 6:19-21 1 Like |

I'm sorry, now can you not love money when everything revolves around it? I know money doesn't mean everything but it actually does if only everyone would realize it doesn't mean everything the world will be better and that's impossible so that means money means everything. |

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." - 1 Timothy 6:10
"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever." - 1 John 2:15-17 1 Like |

I'm sorry, now can you not love money when everything revolves around it? I know money doesn't mean everything but it actually does if only everyone would realize it doesn't mean everything the world will be better and that's impossible so that means money means everything. |

Life is *not all* about money.
Yes..money is a prerequisite for survival as well as comfortable living on earth, but after that what next.
Here we are dissecting the word of God together, and earthly possessions is the *least on the list.
Love Jesus, not money. Not everything revolves around money. Money and wordly possessions are temporary, but eternity is forever. Money is a prerequisite for survival on earth but it should not be loved or lusted after.
It is the love for money that is the root of all evil and not *money itself.
After your basic and auxiliary needs,
use money for the good of others and propagation of the Gospel of Repentance, Holiness and Righteousness.
Matt 6:33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added into you.
Seek God first, listen to His commands and do His will. When you do that, you won't lack anything, material wealth, good health and most of all, you will have a place in God's kingdom after you leave this world.
But *Consistency in service is key.
Joshua 1:8: ...Observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and then thou shall have good success.
Let's form the habit of always praying to God and asking for mercy where we have erred knowingly and unknowingly, and that He should also wash us clean with His Blood.
O Lord Jesus wash my garments clean with your blood..In Jesus Name �
Let me share a brief testimony to help you understand the important of Jesus Christ in a person's life.
You see, a lot of persons don't understand the cause of their struggle in life, they do not realize that there are unseen forces fighting against them.
Matt 11:28: Come into me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest..
When you run to Jesus, you enter solace. That is the safest place to run too. Today people suffer in life unnecessarily either because they do not love and believe in Jesus. If they are church goers, they have not fully given theirselves to genuine repentance, and last of all 'Laziness'.
No matter how God wants to bless a person, if he or she is lazy, such blessings will be limited because there is no room for growth.
.. Heaven helps those who help themselves..
If you are rethinking your salvation because you feel unbelievers prosper more, you might want to know that:
The Devil also gives wealth, but it's not exactly free. Such persons don't enjoy good success, there would always be a secret limitation you may not have heard of.
Wheras,
Proverbs 10:22; The blessings of God maketh rich and addeth no sorrow to it.
Run to Jesus first and leave the rest to Him.
Locate a Bible believing church that preached repentance, Holiness and Righteousness. A church that cares for both your soul here on earth and after earth(afterlife). That is because, life doesn't end on earth.
Psalm 90:10: The days of a man are threescore years and ten(70 years), and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years(80 yrs), yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it soon cut off and we fly away.
Eternity is ultimate. How you live your life serving God on earth, matters more than money. |

If you always make sure others are well taken care of before yourself (in things that GOD approves, or things that pleases HIM" ) with your wealth or other things, you please GOD. The strong desire to satisfy your cravings/desires at the expense (or to the detriment) of others and yourself is Lust...This is bad. The worst is satisfying your evil desires like sex outside of marriage, stealing, pride, hate for good, lies, killings, witchcraft, etc. Doesnt matter if you're doing these for others, it's still sin and evil
✳Love of Money
So, why are we discouraged from loving money whereas Love is a good thing ... because being emotionally attached to money has too many bad side-effects. Loving it will make it hard for us to serve GOD & do what is right/good. It'll makes us to desire it more and work in ways that displease GOD to build it up esp for our selfish purposes. You will be tempted to build up too much wealth especially for your sinful desires while others around you are in need. We can't have too much while there are needy people around us.
Besides we are clearly discouraged from building up too much earthly wealth on earth because they don't last forever and can be stolen from us. Matthew 6:19-21 Bump.. .. ... . |
