FISTFUL OF MONEY
FISTFUL OF MONEY
An article by Rev. Z.D. Simmons
Your attitude about money governs how you use it! Do you have money or do money have you? You have to decide who will be in control. If money control you, there will be no restraint to seeing and buying. There is an old saying, "What you see is what you get!"
Don't be fooled by such a statement. If you buy everything you see, who will pay your bills? Are you depending on something that will leave as soon as you get it or on GOD? Money must be controlled and managed. "Well Preacher! How am I going to pay bills if I don't get money?
First of all, you must see what the BIBLE says about money. In Genesis 2:12, it says, "And the gold of that land is good. Bedellium and the onyx stone are there, NKJV." GOD created money in it's purest form, gold and precious stones. The Bible say that the gold was good.
Everything GOD made was good. Sin and man's attempt to supply his own needs, created poverty and want. Man's philosophy is," if I can hold this money in my fist, I'll have more!" GOD'S philosophy is, "Give,and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be put into your bosom."
"For with the measure that you use, it will be measured back to you," Luke 6:38. It is a Universal Law that if you give, you will receive in return. Why not give to THE ONE who created everything. I have a question for you. Would you rob GOD?
For background Scripture read the whole book of Malachi. Read also Luke 6:27, 30, 34, 38.
