My servant Caleb thinks differently and follows me completely. Numbers 14:24. (NCV)
Real servants don’t try to use God for their purposes. They let God use them for his purposes.
Servants think like steward, not owners.
To become a real servant you are going to have to settle the issue of money in your life. Jesus said, “No servant can serve two masters…You cannot serve both God and Money.”
He didn’t say, “You should not,” but “You can not.” It is impossible.
Living for ministry and living for money are mutually exclusive goals. Which one will you choose? If you are a servant of God, you can’t moonlight for yourself. All your time belongs to God. He insists on exclusive allegiance, not part-time faithfulness.
Money has the greatest potential to replace God in your life.
When Jesus is your master, money serves you, but money is your master, you become its slave.
Wealth is certainly not a sin, but failing to use it for God’s glory is.
Amen.
