The 3 Myths of Money by Rev. Pas.Justin Clarance
Hebrews 13:5, I Chron 29:11-12, Deut 8:17-18, Ecc 5:10, I Tim 6:8, Phil 4:11-13, Prov 11:28, Prov 23:5, Prov 13:8, Luke 12:15-21
There are 38 parables in new testament- 16 talk about money and possessions.
The gospels have 288 verses, one out of 10 verses deal directly with money.
Jesus spoke more about money than the heaven or hell. Bible on the whole has 500 verses on prayer, less than 500 on faith but more than 2000 verses about money and possessions.
The 3 great myths of money are:
1. We deserve whatever we have
2. Money brings happiness
3. Money brings security
Bible says
1. Wealth and honour comes from the Lord. Even hardwork is a gift of God.
2. God is in control of our lives. True happiness comes from doing the will of God.
3. God is our security, our rock, our fortress. He will never leave or forsake us.
God Bless.
