Living The Blessed Life - Serving God Not Money

Matthew 6:24

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon

Luke 16:9-13

9 “And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail [DIE] they may receive you into an everlasting home.
10
He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.

11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12
And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own?

13 “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”.

Q1 WHAT IS MAMMON?

Mammon is a spirit (false god of riches) that rests on all unredeemed money

The Devourer Cannot Touch What Has The Spirit Of God On It.

Malachi 3:11

“And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the Lord of hosts.”

Revelations 13:16-17

“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell

except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

Here’s a lie of mammon; "If you had more money, you could help more people.” Q2 IS MONEY EVIL?

Serving mammon is the root of all evil.

1 Tim 6:10 “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.”

Q3 WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY MONEY?

Be a good Steward

“It is not how much we have that matters— it is whose it is. If we belong to God, then it’s His money, not ours.
