GREED AND COVETOUSNESS – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”

August 28, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

GREED AND COVETOUSNESS – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”: THE THREE MAJOR CAUSES AND THEIR SIDE EFFECTS!

“For THE LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” 1 Timothy 6:10/Emphasis Mine.

Money (Finance) is a de facto medium of exchange. On it’s own, it’s not EVIL or an EVIL or the ROOT of EVIL or ROOT of all EVIL as some acclaimed; but it is ‘THE LOVE OF MONEY’ and to simply say – “THE LOVE OF THE MONEY” on itself, is the ROOT of ALL EVIL.

Money is GOOD. It’s a great means of defence that answers and it’s answering man’s QUEST in doing life, especially when diligently, wisely and prudently obtained and expended without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.

However, ‘THE LOVE OF MONEY’ has some CAUSES and side EFFECTS especially when obtained by GREED and COVETEOUSNESS.

Herein are THREE WARNING SIGNS in order not to be in a position of being captivated and enslaved by – THE LOVE OF MONEY – that’s obtained by GREED and COVETOUSNESS and such like:

  1. It causes WORRY: A lack of Sleep – sleepless moments when the balance sheet is not meeting expectations or overwhelmingly breaking your set point.

“The SLEEP of a LABOURING man is SWEET, whether he eat little or much: BUT THE ABUNDANCE OF THE RICH WILL NOT SUFFER HIM TO SLEEP” Ecclesiastes 5:12.

“The SLEEP of a WORKING man is SWEET, whether he eats little or much; BUT THE FULL STOMACH (GREED) OF THE RICH [WHO HUNGERS FOR EVEN MORE] WILL NOT LET HIM SLEEP” Ecclesiastes 5:12/Amplified.

  1. It causes DISSATISFACTIONS: It allows greediness and covetousness to breed in all forms, thereby create discomfort and unhealthy sphere.

“He that LOVETH SILVER shall not be SATISFIED with SILVER; nor he that LOVETH ABUNDANCE with INCREASE: this is also vanity” Ecclesiastes 5:10.

“He who LOVES MONEY will not be SATISFIED with MONEY, nor he who LOVES ABUNDANCE with its GAIN. This too is VANITY (EMPTINESS)” Ecclesiastes 5:10/Amplified

  1. It causes TEMPTATION: It allows and leads to the breaking of SET RULES and REGULATIONS, even the STATUTORY law, in order to get and acquire more at any cost – which many have become accustomed.

“A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: BUT HE THAT MAKETH HASTE TO BE RICH SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT.  21 To have respect of persons is not good: FOR FOR A PIECE OF BREAD THAT MAN WILL TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH TO BE RICH hath AN EVIL EYE, and considereth not that POVERTY shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:20-22.

“The TRUSTWORTHY person will get a RICH reward, but A PERSON WHO WANTS QUICK RICHES WILL GET INTO TROUBLE. 21 Showing partiality is never good, YET SOME WILL DO WRONG FOR A MERE PIECE OF BREAD. 22 GREEDY PEOPLE TRY TO GET RICH QUICK but don’t realize they’re headed for poverty” Proverbs 28:20 NLT.

Money is good in itself when it’s made to serve or be a servant and not as lord to any and every vital and legal means of living and doing life. Make it your servant or errand tool only and not your life controller, then you will experience the PEACE of mind indescribable. With peace of mind one is able to be CONTENTED, live GODLY, and to keep temptation, worry – anxiety and dissatisfaction at bay.

I pray you will not be entangled in bondage as a money lover for a mere self and selfish gratifications at the expense of others, the rule of law, and the decency and order in and for the community.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For THE LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” 1 Timothy 6:10/Emphasis Mine.

“A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: BUT MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THINGS” Ecclesiastes 10:19.

“If any man teach OTHERWISE, and consent not to WHOLESOME WORDS, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such WITHDRAW thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN. 7 For we brought NOTHING into this world, and it is certain we can CARRY NOTHING OUT” 1 Timothy 6:3-7.

“But if anyone DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR HIS OWN, and especially for those of his HOUSEHOLD, he has DENIED THE FAITH and is WORSE THAN AN UNBELIEVER” 1 Timothy 5:8/NKJV

“WISDOM is good with an inheritance: and by it there is PROFIT to them that see the sun. 12 FOR WISDOM IS A DEFENCE, AND MONEY IS A DEFENCE: but the EXCELLENCY of KNOWLEDGE is, that WISDOM giveth LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, we give you this command in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: STAY AWAY FROM ALL BELIEVERS WHO LIVE IDLE LIVES AND DON’T FOLLOW THE TRADITION THEY RECEIVED FROM US. 7 For you know that you ought to IMITATE us. We were NOT IDLE when we were with you. 8 WE NEVER ACCEPTED FOOD FROM ANYONE WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT. We WORKED hard day and night so we would NOT BE A BURDEN to any of you. 9 We certainly had the right to ask you to feed us, but we wanted to give you an EXAMPLE to follow. 10 Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “THOSE UNWILLING TO WORK WILL NOT GET TO EAT.” 11 Yet we hear that some of you are LIVING IDLE LIVES, REFUSING TO WORK AND MEDDLING IN OTHER PEOPLE’S BUSINESS. 12 We COMMAND such people and urge them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to SETTLE DOWN AND WORK TO EARN THEIR OWN LIVING” 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12/NLT

THE GOOD, BETTER AND BEST DAYS IS NOW AND AHEAD

April 15, 2024 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE GOOD, BETTER AND BEST DAYS IS NOW AND AHEAD: BE CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE AND READILY READY FOR THE NEW DAWN OF DOING LIFE DURING AND AFTER WHATEVER!

“For SURELY THERE IS AN END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:18

Surely there’s an end to everything under the sun – [whether it’s the lost of job, marital breakdown, relationship disruption, bereavement of love one, infectious pandemic diseases and sicknesses, fatal accident, war, economic meltdown and such like] – for there is no different with God in WHATEVER. It thus mean every challenges and difficult circumstances are certainly and surely TIMED to stop or come to an END point one day, irrespective of the days, weeks, months and years of that WHATEVER – Proverbs 23:18.

And life will always roll in a NEW action and motion again when an end is come for WHATEVER betides one. It’s how much READINESS and PREPAREDNESS you are making to forge ahead for yourself and all about you at the dawn day and dawn time when it comes – is the very important thing to think and ponder through. Your intentional mindset setting for an onward and upward trajectory, is so important if you intend to be the one in charge, control and in DOMINON to reign and rule in your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead – (Proverbs 21:31; Proverbs 16:1, 3, 7, 9).

There’s one scripture that I have known, that have kept me going, almost in every passing phase of challenging times in my life, to deal with matters during and after WHATEVER in the work of FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. That scripture is this:

“. . . 8 BETTER IS THE END OF A THING THAN THE BEGINNING THEREOF: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 10 SAY NOT THOU, WHAT IS THE CAUSE THAT THE FORMER DAYS WERE BETTER THAN THESE? FOR THOU DOST NOT ENQUIRE WISELY CONCERNING THIS . . .” Ecclesiastes 7:7-12.

More so, I know that having a SCRIPTURAL perception of life, is an attitude that makes one to perceive that their today is far better than yesterday, and that has helped and kept me going; and scriptural context in perception still helps me to stay strong and courageous, knowing that the best of anything it’s in the new start up and not in the old.

And the knowing that God’s act of faithfulness and  steadfastness are NEW every morning – is an awesome plus on each passing day (Lamentations 3:23); and by this confidence and assurance in SCRIPTURAL context in perception, there’s no reason why one should not live in the present tense of God to define ones life for today and tomorrow. Hence I can say that your GOOD, BETTER and BEST DAYS is come and is coming out of the WHATEVER you are dealing with at the moment to advance in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead.

Just as I will always say that the New Testament, the New Creation which is of the New Covenant and such like, is far more superior testimony as in the fulfilment to the Old Testament of the Old Covenant and such like injunctions of the old – it beholds me as it becomes imperative, that one keep away and withdraw from the concept of always looking back and thinking of the good old days instead of dealing with the present.

Regrets and living in the past will not elevates any, no matter the devotion to mourning and murmuring and complaining of the past and it’s history – both in the bad or good terms. And dwelling in the past doesn’t indicates a good sign to innovative, creative and wise up to make good of the present in order to ensure and endorse the beauty and glory so much desired of you – especially for your today and your tomorrow. It’s time for a NEW you to SPRING up for the NEW dawn day that’s about to come forth from you after the WHATEVER; because your world should not be the same again and you need not be – A LEFT BEHIND CHRISTIAN.

Am emboldened to inform you that the way you live and do life OUGHT to change whenever the WHATEVER is done away with in one’s life. And if you do not PREPARE and TRAIN yourself for the NEW you to emerge in order to EFFECTUALLY deal with the changes that will come up after your WHATEVER – you may live to regret for learning nothing whenever the WHATEVER shutdown or locked down or standstill moment is done and dusted. It’s a wise decision for you to do life meaningfully and purposefully as a consequence of the preparation you’ve made for your emergence from the known and unknown WHATEVER you’ve been through.

Just know that our ways of PRUDENCE – the utilising and managing of the resources – of TIME, FINANCE, EFFORT (Physical/Mental Exertion), MATERIAL and PEOPLE, in order to earn a living may likely change in many ways after WHATEVER; and if you’ve not made yourself readily ready to adapt with the changes, there will be a left behind to catch up with, in the reality of change that may evolve.

And I behold you not to whine by crying out loud – by saying things as one that’s been left behind, as to – THE FORMER DAYS ARE BETTER THAN THE PRESENT. This is simply because you are not living in the NOW because the FORMER days have a grip on you and you’ve forgotten that the so called former days can’t define your current and present day of today.

It’s time to look inward for your onward and upward trajectory match to the better and best of you in life and grace. Our God is the God of the now and tomorrow as He’s of yesterday; and He’s good and faithful to see us through life phase – making the good and the bad to work together for our good Romans 8:28. But you must give God something to work with, to ensure you are thoroughly through and through with your inward (insight) and outward (foresight) plan, purpose and pursuit.

I PRAY YOU KNOW WELL TODAY AND ALWAYS THAT – THE GOOD, BETTER AND BEST DAYS IS NOW AND AHEAD – THEREFORE, BE CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE AND READILY READY FOR THE NEW DAWN OF DOING LIFE DURING AND AFTER THE WHATEVER.

I pray you have a GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL days in the PRESENT TIME and in the TIME AHEAD that might evolve in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

BETTER AND BEST DAYS AHEAD

April 15, 2022 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BETTER AND BEST DAYS AHEAD: Be Creative, Innovative And Readily Ready For The New Dawn Of Doing Life After WHATEVER – Even The Pandemic!

Surely there’s an end to everything under the sun – and this Pandemic is not different. Meaning it’s timed to stop surely one day – Proverbs 23:18. And life will roll in action and motion again. How much READINESS and PREPAREDNESS are you making for yourself and all about you at dawn day and dawn time when it comes, is very important now – (Proverbs 21:31; Proverbs 16:1, 3, 7, 9).

I have been kept going in every life passing phase in this SCRIPTURAL wisdom connotations: The END of a thing is BETTER than its BEGINNING; Do not say, “Why were the FORMER DAYS BETTER THAN THESE?” For you do not INQUIRE WISELY concerning this. Such act of life attitude has helped and kept me going; and still helping me to stay strong and courageous, knowing that the best of anything is in the new start up and not in the old. And knowing that God’s act of faithfulness and steadfastness are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23), why then should one not live in the present tense of God to define ones life today and tomorrow. Your BETTER and BEST DAYS is come and coming out of this PANDEMIC.

Just as I will always say that the New Testament, the New Creation, the New Covenant and such likes, is/are richer and far more superior to the Old Testament, Old Covenant and such likes of the old. Therefore, withdraw from the concept of always looking back and thinking of the good old days. Regrets and living in the past will not elevates you no matter your mourning of the past and it’s history. And it’s a sign of not been innovative, creative and wise up to make good of the present to ensure and endorse the beauty and glory so much desired. It’s time for a new you for the new dawn day coming after pandemic; because our world will not be the same again. DON’T BE A LEFT BEHIND CHRISTIAN!

Am emboldened to inform you that the way we live and do life will change when this pandemic is done away with. An if currently you are not preparing and training yourself for the new you to emerge in order to EFFECTUALLY deal with the changes that will prompt up, you may live to regret for WASTING the LOCKED DOWN time doing no meaningful and purposeful preparation for the emergence and unknown.

Just know that our ways of utilising and managing the resource of TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT (Physical/Mental Exertion) to earn a living may likely change in many ways; and if you’ve not made yourself readily ready to adapt with the changes, there will be a left behind to catch up with the reality of change.

And say not then of been left behind, that the former days are better than the present, because you are not living in the now in the former days neither will the former days define your present day.

It’s time to look inward for your onwards and upwards match to the better and best you in life and grace. Our God is faithful to see us through life. But you must give him something to work with through your inwards (insights) and outwards (foresights) plan, purpose and pursuit.

I pray you have a GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL days in TIME PRESENT and TIME AHEAD in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart. 8 BETTER IS THE END OF A THING THAN THE BEGINNING THEREOF: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 10 SAY NOT THOU, WHAT IS THE CAUSE THAT THE FORMER DAYS WERE BETTER THAN THESE? FOR THOU DOST NOT ENQUIRE WISELY CONCERNING THIS. 11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and MONEY is a DEFENCE: but the EXCELLENCY OF KNOWLEDGE is, that WISDOM GIVETH LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:7-12.

“FOR SURELY THERE IS AN END; and thine expectation shall not be cut off” Proverbs 23:18.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD, to them who are the called according to his purpose” Romans 8:28.

“Being CONFIDENT of this very thing, that he which hath BEGUN A GOOD WORK in you will PERFORM it until the day of Jesus Christ” Philippians 1:6.

“CAST NOT AWAY therefore your CONFIDENCE, which hath great RECOMPENCE OF REWARD. 36 For ye have need of PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might RECEIVE the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; but of them that BELIEVE TO THE SAVING OF THE SOUL” Hebrews 10:35-39.

BETTER & BEST DAYS AHEAD

April 15, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BETTER & BEST DAYS AHEAD: Be Creative, Innovative And Readily Ready For The New Dawn Of Doing Life After The Pandemic!

Surely there’s an end to everything under the sun – and this Pandemic is not different. Meaning it’s timed to stop surely one day – Proverbs 23:18. And life will roll in action and motion again. How much READINESS and PREPAREDNESS are you making for yourself and all about you at dawn day and dawn time when it comes, is very important now – (Proverbs 21:31; Proverbs 16:1, 3, 7, 9).

I have been kept going in every life passing phases in this SCRIPTURAL wisdom connotations: The END of a thing is BETTER than its BEGINNING;

Do not say, “Why were the FORMER DAYS BETTER THAN THESE?” For you do not INQUIRE WISELY concerning this. Such act of life attitude has helped and kept me going; and still helping me to stay strong and courageous, knowing that the best of anything is in the new start up and not in the old. And knowing that God’s act of faithfulness and  steadfastness are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23), why then should one not live in the present tense of God to define ones life today and tomorrow. Your BETTER and BEST DAYS is come and coming out of this PANDEMIC.

Just as I will always say that the New Testament, the New Creation, the New Covenant and such likes, is/are richer and far more superior to the Old Testament, Old Covenant and such likes of the old. Therefore, withdraw from the concept of always looking back and thinking of the good old days. Regrets and living in the past will not elevates you no matter your mourning of the past and it’s history. And it’s a sign of not been innovative, creative and wise up to make good of the present to ensure and endorse the beauty and glory so much desired. It’s time for a new you for the new dawn day coming after pandemic; because our world will not be the same again. DON’T BE A LEFT BEHIND CHRISTIAN!
