FEAR OR GREED

Demetrius caused a rebellion against Paul because of his loss of revenue derived from the worship of diana---Paul shipwrecked because the owners wanted to make one last trip before bad weather set in--Jezebel hated Elijah because of the destruction of her prophets and the money she made off them--Fear and Greed are God's enemies..Judas sold Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.

Make up your minds to serve faith instead of fear and greed. All the bad financial decisions I have made were for the reasons of fear or greed and not faith. Remember enough is never enough so there is no limit to FEAR OR GREED.

However, even if you have lost everything, you still have Christ, and still possess wealth unimaginable.

If you are not willing to make that sacrifice then FEAR AND GREED rule over you and you are missing out on God's blessings.

PHIL 4;12 " I know how to be abased and I know how to abound: everywhere and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry: both to abound and to suffer need."

What Paul cautions about is not to panic when things are going astray and not to get overly excited when things are going great. Learn to take the middle of the road. You will be more vulnerable to mistakes i. e. letting Fear and Greead take over in times of panic or celebration or when you are "on a roll".

Learn to live by faith..faith has nothing to do with fear or greed.Less fear or less greed does not equal faith. Faith is an entity in and of itself, In Christ..............gregor
