“
For the love of money [that is, the greedy desire for it and the willingness to gain it unethically] is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves [through and through] with many sorrows.
”
There are powers at work against the establishment of the church. Why? Money. All they see is green. The Church was instituted to help the world! Did you know that? You were created to be the solution this world is in dire need of. There are forces at work, however, that are trying to dismantle the church.
As a Believer you were instructed to care for those less fortunate than you. (Matt. 25:35-40) Our government was never supposed to play that role. Because of poor teaching about the blessing of God, the Church passed its responsibilities to the world. A world that does not know good from evil, who's intention is most often driven by greed. The help that’s offered from the world comes with strings attached. If they help you pay the bills, they’ll also help educate your children according to their own agenda. If they pay for some medical expenses they’ll also tell YOU how many vaccines your child should get. It’s an operation to keep the person in oppression!
We have to get back to the root of the problems we see in this world. All kinds of wickedness, lawlessness and darkness links up with the LOVE of money. I’ve always heard “Money is the root of all evil.” But thats not what the Bible says! It’s the “LOVE of money” that’s the root of all evil! That love pushes people to do things with selfish motivations. For decades now Christians have been persecuted for believing in prosperity! How can you clothe the naked and feed the hungry when you’re experiencing lack? What kind of advice can you give someone in need, when you’re experiencing that need yourself?
The Bible believing Christian must understand that the blessing of God doesn't just benefit them, it benefits the WORLD! We can talk about any topic under the sun on our broadcast, but the moment we talk about the blessing of God and money, the freaks come out of their dark corner. If we want to have the greatest impact in our nation and world, Christians must stand for the FULL GOSPEL OF TRUTH!
Jesus spent more time talking about money and stewardship than any topic. No, money doesn't bring you happiness (JESUS DOES!) but it does solve problems! Knowing that makes you a contender to receive that kinds of blessing. More money in your hands means greater solutions to the worlds problem. Money taken from the hands of the wicked and put into YOUR hands paralyzes the schemes of the devil from taking place.
Think about the impact the Church will have once its people understand the Abrahamic Covenant! Don’t get duped into thinking you weren't created for more, you were. Train your mind to be in wealth before you see it. He’s given you the power to create wealth! (Deut. 8:18) Let us be good representatives of God’s love. It’s the goodness of God that leads men to repent. When we embody that, we’ll begin to see the greatest revival this globe has ever seen.
