The love of money is so wide spread and contagious, and have you noticed that the O Jay's, #1 hit is the only song I know that addresses the issue, but I have not heard any other artists try to even top it! Why so? Because most of the world feels there's really nothing wrong with wanting a lot of money. Many times that is the sole reason they become music artists. Even Barry Gordy himself, in his Motown documentary said that he wanted Motown because of the woman he could get, Linking the love of money with the love of life's most exquisite delights!
A supposition!?
What if you were summoned to a room to get the job of a life time. And promised the most excellent pay, unlimited benefits n suppossidliy unlimited retirement plan too? You are in the room, nerves rattled hoping to get the job of your dreams, and what happened next?
In walks the owner of the company hiring n it's none other than, Satan the Devil him self, with a big stack of contracts under his arms, n looking sharp too, wareing a solid gold colored 3peice suit n following closely behind him are two paled jacks loaded with cash 5 foot square. And moving on their own accord! One was thousand dollar bills and the other with hundred dollar bills. Also the signing bonus is in cash!
Before you could react, most of the crowd had already got up on their feet shouting: "Sign me up!?" What would you do though? Would you be one of the crowd? You see they were not concerned about what they had to do on this job n whom they are working for, clearly, their only concern was money!
However if you are a God fearing person and I think you are, if you are still reading, would you leave that room? If so, how fast will you be leaving that room? Would you hesitate, thinking, maybe all the jobs might not be top bad! And my mortgage is two months behind, and I want a good life for my self n my family!? Or would you not second guess anything and just run like hell!
Be honest, but if you choose the latter, you are doing quite well!
The Bible assures us that Jehovah is the one that gives us the power to make wealth... The blessing of Jehovah is what makes rich,!..... Don't wear your self out to be rich,......... money gathered little by little makes it increase...,.(Numbers, Proverbs)
The wicked one will probably not ever make so bold of offer, but notice this:
7 And war broke out in heaven: Miʹcha·el*+ and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 but they did not prevail,* nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 So down the great dragon+ was hurled, the original serpent,+ the one called Devil+ and Satan,+ who is misleading the entire inhabited earth;+ he was hurled down to the earth,+ and his angels were hurled down with him. 10 I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
“Now have come to pass the salvation+ and the power and the Kingdom of our God+ and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God!+ 11 And they conquered him+ because of the blood of the Lamb+ and because of the word of their witnessing,+ and they did not love their souls*+ even in the face of death. 12 On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea,+ because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.”+(Revelation 12:7-12)
A short period of time is the key part of this passage! It's been about 100+ years since this has been fufilled, this prophecy! We don't know how angry the devil is! Or do we? Word!
