Are You A Slave To Money? Here’s the Solution
Have you ever noticed how many people, even born again Christians, are taught that wealth leads the pure pious soul into corruption? For much too long we have been taught that money leads us into temptation and sin. Money will take over your life and ultimately enslave you. You must avoid becoming wealthy. It is sinful to desire a superior life than the life you’ve now. Money will bring you to a horrible and eternal death. Money will become your master and lead you into eternal damnation.
The problem with this mindset is that it is exactly diametrically opposed to the truth, to God’s Holy Word. It is in opposition to the success principles set out for us in God’s Word. God didn’t create this wonderful world and all of its wealth and beauty to lead men astray or to tempt and corrupt them. He created all of the wealth in the world FOR His magnificent and favorite creation – mankind. This is primary to the success principles that you’re learning.
You can look around you and see that slavery to money is a real issue. However, the true cause of this slavery does not come from having an abundance of money. It comes from the ‘lack’ of money. It is a fact, and I’m sure that you have noticed, that the majority of people who don’t have money are heavily in debt, work grueling and long hours for a tiny amount of money that does not cover the bills. Those who don’t have money are constantly worried about how they’re going to get the money for this or that bill. Unfortunately this situation puts people into a position where they’re willing to do almost anything to get the money they need to survive. The true slaves to money are those who have to constantly rake and scrape enough of it to get by in this world.
One of the major attributes of money is that it simply reveals a person’s real character. When you study success principles you need to take into account this deeply. If you’re greedy, money simply reveals your greed. If you are dishonest, money amplifies this characteristic trait. If you are prone to a poor mindset, you can’t control money. If you’re foolish (the Biblical meaning of ‘without God’), you’re soon parted from it. Solomon tells us in Proverbs 21:20 (NASB) “There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man swallows it up.”
If you look you will see that there are thousands of poor Christians who religiously go to Church every time that the doors are opened. Have you noticed how many born again believers are sick, poor, discouraged, plagued with debt and worry. It amazes me to see Christians falling for the old teaching that they must be poor to be humble. This image of a believer was established after the death of the last disciple who walked with Jesus Christ while He walked on earth. This was a teaching geared at keeping the populace poor and under the control of the church hierarchy.
Christians have become slaves to money (to not having it). They’re always seeking just enough to get by. I hear Christians praying for a financial blessing. I have the ability to see God looking from Heaven, shaking His head and saying, “Read My Holy Word! I created all that is, all that exists physically for you and I’ve given you directions in My Holy Scripture for getting everything and more. Read My Holy Word!” All of the success principles are there.
When are believers going to start believing? The excuse that money leads to evil is wrong. The DESIRE for money is the root of evil. That is when the desire for money exceeds and precedes the desire for the presence of God. You can break the bondage of financial slavery. You can remove the curse of poverty from your life. You can do this and not succumb to the temptations of this lust-filled world. If you will simply change that poverty mindset, you can attain each success that God the Dad wants for you.
Can you read? Can you think? Are you teachable? Do you want to break the bonds of financial slavery? Do you want to live a successful, stress free lifestyle? There will always be trials and tribulations. Finances don’t have to be one of them.
Jesus, in the New Testament, told us that men would hate us because of Him. He affirmed the fact that we would suffer trials and tribulations. These trials and tribulations are the methods by which our metal is tested. These ‘tests’ are character builders. The Bible tells us that Christ, on the Cross, defeated Satan. Why do you insist on letting him defeat you? Why do you insist on letting a world, over which you have been given dominion, keep you defeated? You must dominate your world through the indwelling Holy Spirit of the One True Living God.
You’re a child of the King of King, the Lord of Lords. You are an heir and co-heir with Jesus Christ of the Kingdom of Heaven. Why do you live like a pauper under the slavery of money?
You’ve the capability to break free. Would you like to live free? Would you like to provide more than you can envision for your family ? Study the manual that gives you every solution to every problem that you face in life. Become a diligent student of Solomon’s Success Principles, The Book of Proverbs.
