God or Money?
Money is a means of exchange! That’s as simple as you get to define it! According to Oxford Advance learners dictionary, money is; 1) what you earn by working or selling things, and use to buy things. 2) Coins or paper notes. 3) a person’s wealth including their property. Basically speaking, due to scarce resources or limited resources, money is valued and used to purchase the limited resources that come with a price (since resources are scarce)!

Today in many cities around the world, money is the basic means to life in the city! Money is used to purchase; food, drinks, water bill, sewerage bills, power bills, school fees, bus fares, air travel fares, hospital bills, rent a warehouse for business purposes, etc… Or in other words simply speaking, money is the key to have everything you could ever need or want in this life here on planet earth! On the other hand, within this “Last Days” that we are currently living in, within this “Age of Iron and Clay” considering Daniel 2, the love of money is a tool that the devil is using to get as many as he can get to not follow God’s Word to us The Holy Bible, to not Love and put God first in their hearts! Revelation 13:12, 16, 17 reads, “And he exercises all authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and all who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wounds were healed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark of the beast, or the number of his name.” For more information about 666 and the increase demand of money for survival, click this link; http://peterjnrbebi.blogspot.com/2015/10/age-of-iron-and-clay-2nd-edition-666.html Here we see how satan increases the demand of money for satisfying our unsatisfied wants and needs (or basically survival) due to scarce resources, in which persuades us to put money first before God in our hearts!
The love of money is the root of all evil! When we put money first in our hearts, not only will we not have eternal life and face the wages of sin in Romans 6:23, but we face many issues and problems in life! Some consequences of the increase demand of money and the love of money are; prostitution (leading to diseases such as STD and HIV & AIDS), stealing, corruption, drug dealings (to accumulate money), killings (because of money), marriage breakdown (wife marrying the husband because of money, and when without money leaving him or adultery because of money), heart-attack (money pressure due to the demand of money and lack of money), etc…
Money is not the key to everything! Some of us think that money is the key to everything in this world. Well we are wrong according to The Holy Bible! Mathew 6:33 reads, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Jesus Christ even assures us that we will be okay if we put Him first in our hearts… Mathew 6:34 reads, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
When we put money first in our hearts we are disconnected from the True Vine in John 15! 1 John 2:15 reads, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” Money is part of this world, like facebook, your wife, your boy friend, your work, soccer, etc… When we put money first in our hearts (or any other things of this world), we are disconnected to the True Vine in John 15 Who is in heaven right now as our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary, when we are disconnected to the True Vine in John 15 (Jesus Christ), we will not have eternal life considering John 15, especially verse 5!

God is love in 1 John 4:8! Love does not force love into or onto someone else! That is why the power of choice exist for all His created beings ever since creation-that is why God gave all of us the power of choice! Even though Love is already victorious within this Great Controversy fulfilling Genesis 3:15 through Jesus Christ especially in Mathew 27:24-54, Jesus Christ (Love:God) will never “FORCE” you to accept Him and believe in Him, all because He loves you-all because He is Love: that is just Who Love is (unselfish)! The power of choice is yours whether to choose to accept Love’s Principality or satan’s-every choice has a consequence: eternal life or death depends entirely on your personal choice! Romans 6:23 and John 3:16, the power of choice is yours!
