RESTORATION TODAY
WEDNESDAY 22ND FEBRUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: THE BELIEVER AND MONEY [3].
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1Timothy 6: 10.
In referring to the love of money, Paul is essentially talking about the sin of greed and we ought to desire with all our hearts to have victory over it. This starts by recognizing the major warning signs of greed. There are at least five major symptoms that reveal the presence of greed in one?s life.
1. If you are truly a lover of money, you will be more concerned with acquiring it than with giving an honest, quality effort in everything you do. Believers are to pursue truth and excellence first of all, and God will see to it that we receive the proper monetary rewards.
2. If you are greedy, you will feel that you never have enough money. Your attitude will be like the horseleech?s daughters who constantly say, Give, Give (Proverbs 30: 15).
3. If you love money, you will tend to flaunt what it can buy. You will be unduly eager to show off your new clothe, new car, or the new property you just purchased.
4. if you are a slave to greed, you will resent giving your money to support worthwhile causes or help other people. You will want to keep everything to spend on your own selfish desires.
5. if you are in love with money, it is likely you will cheat people one way or the other to obtain more.
ACTION POINTS
The more you love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, the less symptoms of greed will manifest in your life.
SCRIPTURES:
Proverbs 30: 15
Deuteronomy 6: 4 ? 5
Matthew 6: 24.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, help me to love You more and more in the name of Jesus.
2. Lord, help me to turn away completely from greed in the name of Jesus.
3. father, help me to live righteously before you in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
Exodus 13: 1 14: 4
