The Mastery Of Money

Apostle Grace Lubega

Matthew 6:24(KJV); No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Money is in the class of gods.

This is what Christ reveals when He says that you cannot serve God and money.

History has proved the verity of this statement.

Over the centuries, money has commanded the respect and worship of countless people. Some have killed for it, others have died for it. Some have sacrificed relationships for it, some have made unimaginable compromises for it.

Time has proved that money is a master to the men of this world.

But this is not the story of the child of God. You must have mastery over money.

Having mastery over money is the wisdom to know that money is your slave.

Your attitude towards money should not be a slave mentality. The slave mentality is that of the Christian who will do anything for money even if it compromises the principles and patterns that have been set by God through His Word.

The slave mentality is giving money priority over the things of God. It is neglecting the presence of God in the pursuit of wealth. It is allowing money to dictate your decisions, your responses, your aspirations, your hopes and your dreams.

When you learn to truly serve God, you master money. God must be first in all that you do, whether it is a business deal or a career.

If anything brings money at the cost of what God has dictated in His Word, it is never worth it child of God.

Live life with the attitude that money was made to serve you. It works for you and responds to you instead of you responding to it.

Exercise your spirit to detach from the control of money because when you do, money will start to serve you.

God’s name be praised.
