“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.” I Timothy 6:10
Many believers have twisted ideas about dealing with prosperity. God wants to bless a believer with the goodness of His abundance. This is the desire of His heart.
Jesus states “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these other things will be added.”
This is the priority of walking with Jesus and the pathway to His blessings. If you make greed for money and the luxuries of the world your passion this will lead to evil and destroy your life.
Jesus wants a believer to concentrate on seeking the will of God above all else. This happens by prayer, reading the Bible and listening for the voice of Jesus.
Jesus desires to give a believer who diligently seeks His will more than he asks or thinks.
Greed replaces Jesus by living for self. This happens to those who seek the treasures of the world and lose their alignment with Jesus.
The lust for riches will ruin your life. Satan deceives believers and attempts to lure them into seeking the riches and power of the world.
The believer must walk by faith believing in the promises of Jesus and wait patiently upon God.
The method to avoid getting seduced by the world is to invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life. He is the life of Jesus and will keep your motives pure and in agreement with the precepts of Jesus.
Commit your works each day to God and walk by faith yielding to the Holy Spirit.
Ask Jesus to reveal anything you are thinking or doing that grieves the Holy Spirit. Then pray the blood of Jesus over you and seek repentance.
He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world!
