KEY SCRIPTURE:1Ti 6:5 ISV” and incessant conflict between people who are depraved in mind and deprived of truth. They think that godliness is a way to make a profit.”

​

This time, he counsels him to be wary of those who are depraved in their minds  and also deprived of the truth. These people think that godliness is a money-making venture. This is a very corrupted view. This view is very different from the one who acknowledges that God gives us power to make wealth so his name would be glorified in our lives. God’s name being glorified is seen when the wealth He blesses us goes to promote the gospel. It blesses the poor. Abraham’s wealth was the support of over three hundred families that he supported.

​

It is not for the idea of living in pleasure and pride that one should seek a relationship with God. We live in a world where money and its demand can easily make a servant of God  become covetous and start acting in all kinds of unscriptural ways.

​

It is the craving for money that makes certain ministers say all kinds of nasty things about their fellow servants of God. Pastors who  contact strange powers to do ministry  are sadly corrupted by the idea that godliness is to make a profit. With such a wrong concept, they would do anything possible to make those riches. It is rather sad to hear what some of them do to  get multitudes into their churches.

​

The truth is that our heavenly father knows very well we need money for His work and for our daily upkeep. His concept for blessings is to seek Him, and His righteous cause, then He would intend to add all that we need. Matt 6:33 ISV” But first be concerned about God’s kingdom and his righteousness, and all of these things will be provided for you as well.” If you approach life and God’s service this way, you are not corrupted by the lust for money , which the bible says is the root of all evil. 1 Timothy 6:10 ISV For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, in their eagerness to get rich, have wandered away.

from the faith and caused themselves a lot of pain.”

THOUGHT:GODLINESS IS NOT ABOUT YOU, IT IS ABOUT BRINGING GLORY TO GOD
