As a Christian, it's important for
you to understand who you really are. You're not of this world. In the world
today, there're many who, against their conscience, will do anything for money.
This happens in different forms in many societies, and it may seem normal, but
it's wrong.
You're different. When others are
running after money and doing terrible and inordinate things for money, seek
the wisdom of God: "Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge
rather than choice gold" (Proverbs 8:10). Go for wisdom! Don't let money
be your motivation. Money is a tool. If you function in divine wisdom, money
will come to you, because money responds to wisdom.
The Word says, "the love of
money...", not "the abundance of it", is the root of all evil.
Someone can be poor and love money. How do you know you love money? It's
determined by how much you or your actions are controlled by money; the desire
for it or the lack of it. When someone is willing to do the wrong thing because
of money, he's being driven by the love of money that God warns against.
Don't be unjust because of money.
Don't deny others what rightfully belongs to them because of your desire to
amass more for yourself. The Bible lets us know that true prosperity will elude
those who pursue money instead of seeking God's Kingdom and His righteousness.
Maintain a good conscience. It's not
what you have in the bank that counts; it's who you are on the inside that
really counts. So, consistently develop your personality through the Word. Work
on "being", and not on "having", for with who you are,
you'll have.
PRAYER
Precious Father, you hold success in store for the upright; and you're a shield
to those whose walk is blameless. I'm prosperous and successful in all things,
because you're with me; I'm guided by your wisdom, and your infallible truths
are my delight and meditation! Thus, I have all that I require for a joyous,
successful, and victorious life, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Further Study: || Proverbs 3:13-15
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the
gain thereof than fine gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the
things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. ||
|| Hebrews 13:5 AMP Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!] ||
