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).
