The Poisonous Love Of Money by Rtem: 2:16pm On Oct 15, 2012
THE POISONOUS LOVE OF MONEY
1 Timothy 6:10, " 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."
The love of money is on...
e powerful poison the devil is using in this end time to pollute many Christians and churches, so many believers, strong believers and ministers of God are falling victim of this satanic weapon; many garments are being defiled by the love of money and many holy hearts are pierced with this poisonous weapon.
To start with, is it a sin to love money? the answer is YES, love of money is a sin. We can't do without money, everybody needs money, every work needs money to work out including God's work, so how could loving money become a sin that pierces one's heart and faith? The love of money is a serious sin because God commands us to love Him alone and our neighbors and not to love money, because we can't love God and love money at the same time. When you love money, you will compromise your love for God. Love is a relationship, you love God as you have relationship with Him, you love your partner, parents, people because you have relationship with them. Love has spirit that relates with the person. For love to exist there must be a relationship, a personality and sacrifice. When you "love" money, you are in a relationship with a personality and that is mammon, and you will definitely sacrifice your love of God (Truth, Righteousness and Holiness) on the table of Mammon. Mammon is a demon or deity that everyone who loves money worships in the spirit realm.
Many believers, because of the cares and concerns of this world are subtly bowing down their faith for the mammon. Let's see these subtle ways many wonderful Christians are being pierced by the poisonous love of money:
UNDER MUST!
The modern preachers say it is a must for a child of God to be financially prospered and rich. When first started, they said you "can" be rich on earth and rich to heaven, and later, they changed it to you "must" be rich on earth, it is a must, poverty is a curse. My friend, if you take it as a matter of "must" for you to be rich, it means you have been enticed by love of money and your heart has fallen to mammon.you will fall very, very soon. There is only a "must" for a child of God and that is to make heaven. If you pray, preach or practice being rich as a must, you are a slave of mammon. The preachers who preach and pray financial prosperity as a must are possessed by mammon, quote that.
CARES OF THIS WORLD
If you take it as a must to buy the car, build that house, do that or get that thing, you need to be delivered from mammon. Satan is using the cares of this world to push and persuade many Christians to bow to mammon.
DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES.
This is another topic of its own. Matthew 13:22. Satan uses riches to deceive many that, you will serve God better if you are rich, that you will be better if you are rich, that all your problems will be solved if you are rich, that you will be happier if you are rich, etc. If you believe any of these deceptions, you will soon fall to worship mammon.
LITTLE COMPROMISE
Do you give or take bride in your work or business? It doesn't matter because everybody is doing it or your business is separate from your faith? Yes, you can give 1millions excuses, but you are 1million times enslaved by mammon. Oh, you don't take, but you receive when they give you free gift...hm mm, but you take it every time and you have even become expectant, right? You have been poisoned already. You don't give before work or contact, but after. The truth is that either you give bribe before or after, it is a BRIBE, and bribery is one of the strong yoke of mammon. Your question may be, "How can one continue and survive in this type of my business without settlement?" The answer is, it is not a must for you to continue in that business, but it is a must for you to make heaven.

You see, when you take money and cares of this world with left, levity hand, and you take only heaven as a must, your Christian life will becomes easy, better and free of lots of burdens. When you reach the point that it is not a must for you to get the contract, but a must to get to heaven, it is not a must to get the job, but a must to get to heaven, it is not a must to get the business, but a must to get to heaven, it is not a must to get the car, but a must to get to heaven, it is not a must to get this or that, but a MUST to get to heaven; your life will be simple and your longing will be to see Jesus at last in heaven.

1 Timothy 6:6-10
Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 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.
