TOPIC: WHAT TO DO AWAY WITH IN OUR LIVES 2: Effect Of The Love Of Money (Part 2)
MEMORY VERSE:
1 Tim. 6:11
“11 But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.”
BIBLE READING:
1 Tim. 6:10
“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 as discussed yesterday have a way of influencing one’s life badly. When it’s in charge we hardly make good decisions in life. Some effects of Love Of Money is what we are digging out today.
1. Greediness.
The love of money is the reason for fraudulent attitude. When this love is in you, you never mind who gets hurt for you to make money. It brings desperation in making money at all cost. All you think of is taking advantages of others. Does this fit you? You need to take a deep thought and change your ways.
2. Wickedness.
Love of money brings hatred, wickedness, even when the money is available. It makes one good in hurting others including your relative. They hardly give cash for help without collecting something in return. Denying wages of your workers for flimsy excuses. When you find yourself doing this, check yourself.
3. Pride.
Another litmus test for love of money is Pride, you feel you are above all, you talk anyhow, believing everyone can be bought over, you are possessed by the Love of Money. This makes you believe you know how to do things without God. The scripture says, pride goes before destruction. You need to check yourself and go back to God.
4. Lastly, it makes you see God as unimportant. Can you imagine the clay feeling bigger than the porter, is that really possible? Remember you do not own your life,, someone is the Ultimate and over all.
May we not find ourselves fulfilling the dictates of money over lives in Jesus name. Let’s stay careful
God Bless you and Good Morning.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
