You cannot serve God and mammon

You cannot serve God and mammon!

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord]. (Matthew 6:24 AMP).

These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs. (Luke 12:30 NLT).

Certainly, the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some people who have set their hearts on getting rich have wandered away from the Christian faith and have caused themselves a lot of grief. (1 Timothy 6:10 God’s Word Translation).

But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also. (Matthew 6:33 AMP).

Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes. (Romans 12:2 TPT).

You cannot do this without the power of the Holy Spirit. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. (Romans 8:14 NLT), another translation states: the mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit. (TPT).

You’ve got to take drastic action to renew your mind by reading, studying and meditating on the word of God. Thereafter, pray!

Are you being led by the Holy Spirit or the god of mammon? 
You can’t worship the true God while enslaved to the god of money!” (Matthew 6:24 TPT).
