1 Timothy 6:10 (NIV)
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
1 Timothy 6:10 Living Bible (TLB)
10 For the love of money is the first step toward all kinds of sin. Some people have even turned away from God because of their love for it, and as a result have pierced themselves with many sorrows.
The original plan for man right from the Garden of Eden, was for man to hear from God, implement what God had shown him in the spirit and produce it in the natural realm
The fall caused man to begin to depend on himself and provide for himself what God originally would have done for him using the exact same natural faculties and abilities God had given him without God’s blueprint and mind.
This resulted in man producing for himself things that reflected his own fallen nature which was now selfish and self-centred as opposed to God;s nature which was generous and giving.
This was the activation of the spirit of mammon in the earth which is a counterfeit of the spirit of God whose; ultimate intent is to give man the “world” in exchange for his soul and in this way guarantee that God’s intent will not be made manifest in the earth and therefore the kingdom of God will never come giving the devil control over mankind, God’s heirs.
Mammon’s Oath: The Kingdom MUST NOT come and God’s WILL MUST NOT BE DONE IN THE EARTH!
As long as your economic activity is resisting God’s will no matter how GENUINE or INNOCENT your investments seem: You are MAMMONIFIED!
