My servant Caleb thinks differently and follows me completely. Numbers 14:24. (NCV)
Money has the greatest potential to replace God in your life.
The Bible is very clear: God uses money to test your faithfulness as a servant.
That is why Jesus talked more about money than he did about either heaven or hell.
He said, “If you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?” How you manage money affects how much God can bless your life.
There are two kinds of people: Kingdom Builders and Wealth Builders. Both are gifted at making a business grow, making deals or sales, and making a profit.
Wealth Builders continue to amass wealth for themselves no matter how much they make,
but Kingdom Builders change the rules of the game. They still try to make as much money as they can, but they do it in order to give it away. They use the wealth to fund God’s church and its mission in the world.
Unfortunately, a lot of our service is often self-serving.
We serve to get others to like us, to be admired, or to achieve our own goals. That is manipulation, not ministry.
Amen.
