Greed.

                                                                              Greed!

 

The Love of Money is the Beginning of All Evil.

 

People who “always” want more and more are like those who “worship statues of god”.  (Ephesians 5:5)

People who are “greedy”, covetous, or worship idols should not be associated with.  (1 Corinthians 5:11)

 

Idolatry is “The Worship of A False god”.

We don’t have to “feel” like we are practicing idolatry, to practice idolatry.

To Always want more and more, for yourself, is the same as Practicing Idolatry.

 

Greed – An “excessive” and “selfish desire” for something, such as money or power, 

             that “goes beyond” what is needed or rightfully yours.

 

Our Daily Nugget

is letting us know that being Greedy is the same as worshipping a false god.  The first of the Ten Commandments is “Thou shall have no other god before Me”.  What is the difference between being “greedy” and engaging in our “capitalist system”?  Neither one is “From God”.

 

Greed, nor our Capitalist System leads us to understand that “It is better to give than to receive”.  Greed nor our Capitalist System has provisions for Love.  It is “extremely easy” to slide from capitalism to greed.  Greed and our capitalist system are both all about getting more and more for ourselves.  We are to work for a living.  Working for a living is not greed, it's obedience.

 

What’s Mine is Mine and What’s Yours is Ours!

We win people to Jesus and Live like Kingdom Citizens with a Spirit of Giving, Sharing, Caring, Doing for one another.  These things are Love, Love is the most important thing on this planet.  If it is not Love, it is Noise. Idolatry is one of the worst things on this planet.

 

Always Remember, 

“It is Better to Give, than to Receive”.  “God Loves a Cheerful Giver”.

 

Ask God to Bless You With 

A Spirit of Contentment: it is protection from Greed and Idolatry.

Trust "Truth"!

                                                                         Trust “Truth”!   God’s Word is the Only Truth.   Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me.  (John 14:1) I am The Way, “The Truth”, and the Life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.   (John 14:6)                              Trusting Truth is “Resisting The Devil”, now, He’ll Flee. Every person that is born, is born in sin, “Separated from the Father”; now every person must get to the Father.  The work of the Holy Spirit is to get everyone to the Father; the work of the demonic spirit is to keep us from being reunited with the Father.  “This Is The War”!  The War is a spiri...

Don't Let Go!

                                                                     Don’t Let Go!                                            The Wisdom In Persistence!   And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him “until the breaking of the day”.  Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken”.  But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me”. (Genesis 32:24 & 26)   How Bad Do You Want It? Don’t Let Go Until You Get Your Blessing!   Our Daily Nugget  is Jacob being in a Wrestling Match with an Angel, all night long.  The Angel hit Jacob on his hip and made him limp.  But Jacob would not let him go, even after he asked Jacob...

Rely On Faith.

                                                                                       Rely On Faith. And We Will Be Blessed like Abraham.   Understand, then, that those who have “Faith” are children of Abraham.  Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by “Faith” and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham:  “All nations will be blessed through you”.  So those who “Rely On Faith” are blessed along with Abraham, the man of Faith. (Galatians 3:7-9)   Our Measure of Faith is Sufficient. We “Exercise our Faith” when we “Rely on Faith”!   God choose to Bless all people through Abraham, our Father of Faith. Know and understand Faith.  Faith or Works of the Law? ...
