Many Christians wrestle with the idea of wealth. Know why?
Wrong teaching has led us to believe that God is against a certain amount of money.
The problem has never been the AMOUNT of money. It's always been our RELATIONSHIP with money.
Throughout the Bible, you'll find that God is glorified when His people prosper. Just think of Abraham, the father of our faith. Or, how about the temple being overlaid with 23 TONS of pure gold?
God delights in our prosperity. His desire is more than enough—firmly equipped for every good work.
So, where's the problem with money? It boils down to two things: greed and covetousness.
If you cringe at offering time, or stockpile your bank accounts in fear of tomorrow, you have a wrong relationship with money called greed.
If you have your thoughts on how others spend money, full of criticism and "better ways to do it", you have a wrong relationship with money called covetousness.
So, get rid of greed and covetousness. Then, let God prosper you beyond what you could imagine.
