DO NOT LOVE MONEY

1 TIMOTHY 6:10

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.

Who says God deosn't want us to be rich? God wants us who are called His children and heirs of His thorne to be wealthy and live well while on earth but what He means by the scripture is that we should not be greedy for money lest we fall victims of the devil schemes.

Greed for money, selfish desire to get more money and not been contented with what we have or what God has given to us as lead thousands of people, thousands of believers to go out of faith and begin to believe in something else just so they can satisfy their selfish desire for more riches and fame.

Those who tend to love money and want in all means to get this money are those who are willing to do anything and everything for the sake of money without considering the the after effect of it or perhaps the consequences of getting the money in a dubious means.

Ecclesiastes 5:10

He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity.

These people are willing to go to any lent to gather riches, these set of people are quite different from those who go to the right source and do the right thing to amass wealth, they know the lent they can go and won't go out of their faith to get riches and they are always grateful and contented with whatever God give to them.

They work for their money and God gives them insight and ideas on how to make money, they are willing to share there wealth with whoever God bring there way because they are aware that it is God who gave them what they have. While the other people are greedy, selfish, lazy but they love money and want to get rich. So they would do anything just to get what they want as long as they have what they want, they are not bothered or concerned about the effect or source the money is coming from.

HEBREWS 13:5

Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,”

God hate those who are greedy for money and would want each and everyone of us to guard our heart so we don't fall victims of selfish desire to amass wealth and be used by the devil to accomplish his devilish scheme in the world.
