In one of my write-ups, I explained that every decision in life rests on "Yes" and "No". To say that would mean that whatever we do would warrant either a "Yes" or a "No". And this leads to my focus for today.
There are two masters Jesus spoke of, and we who are here on earth can choose which master we prefer to be under. As Jesus said, we cannot serve both but just one. And who are these masters?
Let's take a look at Matthew 6:24, “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." God and mammon are the two masters.
I want you to calm down and reflect on what I'm about to write. Now, can you eat food with money determining what to buy, and how far you can buy? Can you buy clothes without money telling you how far you can buy? It is so serious, that you really cannot do anything without money deciding what to do. This doesn't mean that money is bad.
What has happened since the fall of Adam is that man gave the authority of wealth to Mammon. Mammon has since decided how man should have access to wealth, through toiling which wasn't so of what God asked Adam to do.
God told Adam to tend the Garden, while in plenty. But since the fall, mammon has been the one the place of authority.
Jesus came and established that He made us understand that we can be redeemed of the bondage of mammon.
This is better established in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, who has made us understand that all authority in heaven and earth has been given to Him. This includes the power of wealth. But then again, it is left to us to decide whom we want to serve, even though it is clear now that Jesus has no match.
So, what does this mean for us, especially we who are Sons and Daughters of God?
Money under the authority of Mammon decides how far we can go. But should this be the same for Sons and Daughters of God?
The question for Sons and Daughters of God is whose authority are they under? Sons and Daughters of God are under the authority of Christ Jesus. And to be under the authority of Jesus Christ is to be under His words.
As Sons and Daughters of God are led by Jesus through the Holy Spirit, we are to trust His every word. What does this mean?
We (Sons and Daughters of God), don't live the way the world does, even in their conclusions, but through the leading of the Holy Spirit.
We should not forget that Christ Jesus is Truth Himself, doesn't lie, has the best plan and purpose for our lives, and wants us to prosper and be in health, (ref.: John 14:6; Numbers 23:19; Jeremiah 29:11; 3 John 1:2). With this, we should always go with the flow of the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Jesus).
Our focus should never be about money, but about what the Lord Jesus said. As long as He said it, and we believe it, it is a done deal. Everything would come in line to ensure the word of God comes to pass. This is the very thing we must take note of.
So, the word of God and NOT money is our means of currency.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t? Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
