When the Money You Make Becomes a Blessing to You and Others

Thinking of mighty things today, apart from God the creator of life itself, without which anything could ever exist, money can grab the second position.

Days of barter trade are gone when people would merely exchange one thing for another. Without money today, we could die of hunger and sickness, walk naked or even sleep in the cold: the basic needs.

Apparently, ever since people existed in this world, nothing has ever been given and received freely, except true love. There is always something gained and lost.

Everything you want to have today requires you to mind your wallet first so as to buy justice, earn lofty status, sustain your sanity levels and even to fit in some churches.

Now that money making is this important for survival, humans need to understand which strategies they could use to make it and end up blessing others as well as themselves.

In this article, I will speak my mind and also encourage you to give your views about this topic.

Honoring God with your money

Back to the common truth, without God, your money and other material things are futile, they are only useful in this earthly life that will end soon.

Let all your money making plans start with him who holds your life in his hands, let him know what they are first, because the final answer is with him.

He owns our bodies, minds and souls, exclusive of which we would not exist; to make investment plans, worry about being poor or rich, battle to grab money and power and so on.

As humans, we are just like a mist that appears for a while and then disappears.

When you allow him in all you do for a living, he will make your strategies work out just fine.

Grant him a part of your earnings, not because your pastor said so, but for not wanting to be a victim of robbing God.

And since you cannot call him on the phone to come and get his ten percent, extend this help to the neighbor that you can see, a stranded stranger or even take it to church to serve in the ministry work: the choice is yours.

Since God is everywhere, do not bother seeking his face in the skies or wherever, he can be found in those who ask for our assistance in whatever situation, and we can grant it.

Honoring yourself with your money

Do not just work hard and smart for the sake of earning loads of cash, treat yourself well with your money.

Being a miser will mean that your sweat will solely benefit others that never sweated a drop for it!

Nevertheless, I do not mean that you become extravagant or satisfying your every whim, God has given you freedom in the choices you make.

More often than not, lots of money makes people proud and they then tend to be disrespectful to their own existence.

What good is your money if it brings you dangerous diseases, drug addictions, embarrassments, loneliness, and death among others?
