TOPIC: WHAT DRIVES YOU? PART 3

TEXT: The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some have wandered away from the faith and have impaled themselves with a lot of pain because they made money their goal.
1 Timothy 6:10 CEB

Welcome to another beautiful hazy morning and thank God its Friday. God will grant you rest from all your burdens, Amen.

Yesterday we looked at how vision is a driving force to fulfill one's assignment. Today, we are looking at another angle on the topic what drives you?

Several years ago when I was preparing to switch to full time ministry, one of my mentors said something that got me thinking. He said "Whatever a man run after in ministry that is not of God will run away from him, so if you run after money, money will run away from you". That statement became a turning point in my ministerial journey. Right then and there I discovered that contentment is the key.

Beloved, money is not a sin. In fact money is said to be a defence in the Bible (Eccl 7:12) and also that it answers all things (Eccl 10:19). But the love of money is a sin.

The love of money walks with two counterparts: covetousness and greed. The chosen text for today is a verse to reckon with in the bit to get our driving factor right. Anyone who surrenders to the rulership of money will err from the faith and pierce himself through many sorrow and pain.

The most common word in the Nigeria language nowadays is the word corruption. It's so unfortunate that this cancerous evil has eaten so deep into the church. Many minister of the Gospel have lost their authorities to the politicians. Government houses is now becoming a worship centre where special vigil now take place all in the name of money. It's shameful.

How did we degenerate this low? Think about it.

ACTION POINT: Its time to flee from what can drive your life and destiny to destruction. Are you ready to take to flight?

PRAYER: Lord, restore the authority that I have lost in the cause of chasing after money.
