Satan is
also hacking into people’s possessions without using malicious malware or the
use of software worms to steal passwords in order to get into their bank
accounts. So what is Satan’s scheme? He warps people’s thinking and bends and
bangs up their attitude to rob blessings from God’s own creation.
Does God really
have much to say about money matters? There are more Scriptures on stewardship
and money than any other subject in the Bible. There are 500 on prayer. There are
500 on faith. 16 out of 38 parables are on giving. 1 out of 10 verses in the Gospels
is on stewardship. 2000 verses on money and possessions.
So
how does Satan hack into someone’s thinking? Satan leads people into thinking:
· ALL YOU NEED IS A LITTLE BIT MORe
It sounds
like a similar weapon Satan used against Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. All
through America, people live in comfortable homes, drive nice automobiles’ and
eat in fine restaurants. Yet they live defeated, depressed and despondent
lives. Not everybody is in as good of shape as it appears.
The
average American household is 15,600.00 in credit card debt. The average
American is 7600.00 in credit card debt. If you pay the minimum amount, it will
take you 30 years to pay off your balance. You will have paid an extra 29,000
above your balance. Hold on to your pacemaker… After you’ve worked 30, 40, 50
years, 80% of Americans will end up with 200.00 in the bank. Why? Hell is hacking into men’s thinking, and their
thoughts about money matters.
Do you
remember the commercial, “I bet you can’t eat just one?” Yep, Lay’s Potato
chips made that bold claim. Well it’s a lie that Hell has put out there for you
to believe. “I’ve got to have just a little bit more.” God has a better way.
Next time we’ll look a bit deeper into His Word on Money Matters.
