TITLE: “Money Shouldn’t Control You!”
INSPIRATION: Money is a Spirit that belongs to this world, don’t let it rule you!
Ecclesiastes 7:12 “For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
Money is essential in life, it rules everything, Ecclesiastes 10:19b says “but money answereth all things”, I tell you, this is very true, without money in our world today, you can’t forward! But, you must always remember that it is your servant, and it must not control your life! Or have you ever seen a master controlled by his servant? Don’t let money control your mind or mood, don’t let money decide for you how you’d live your life! God can provide for you without using money as an avenue. Ask the Israelites who eat manna for 40 years; while in the same wilderness, Deuteronomy 29:5 says “I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn off your feet”. I tell you, what can God not do for you?
One time I was so miserable in my life; I didn’t really know why I had such gloom that almost got to depression. One day, I had just a 1,000 Naira note left, and I was just staring at it, then started meditating on it, I soon realised that MONEY was making me miserable, it was controlling my life, it determined whether I was happy or not, it determined whether I could do what I wanted or not, it determined my mood, it limited me every time! Alas!!! This money is controlling my life! And as I looked at that 1,000 Naira, I felt like burning it! I could I let money run me like this, then, I determined that I wouldn’t let money stop me anymore. Money serves me and I serve God, the most intelligent financial controller, He knows how to meet my needs! He does not sleep nor slumber; He knows what my needs are even before I ask and so, He will not put me to shame, I am His Daughter. I tell you, that was the end of my misery. I began to live my life serving God than serving money!
Your Father in Heaven knows your needs! He is faithful and you will not be put to shame. Today’s passage says “wisdom giveth life to them that have it”; it is WISER to seek God totally and commit all that you do to Him. Don’t let this mammon called money rule your life!

1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows”
Have a lovely day!
