Sermon Title: Unmasking the Mammon Spirit
Preacher : Apostle Makwarimba
Scriptures read⬇️⬇️
• Matthew 6:24
• Mark 10:17–30
✨Jesus taught that no one can serve two masters. You cannot serve both God and mammon. (Mammon refers to money, but in a spiritual sense it is the spirit or god associated with wealth)
✨Behind money is a spiritual force that seeks to control people. It is not money itself that is evil, but the love of money.
✨We need money, but we should never love it more than God.
✨When God blesses people with wealth, their true priorities are revealed. Some people seek God only for what He can give them, not for who He is.
✨A lover of money cannot fully be a lover of God. There are people who use money, and there are people who are used by money.
✨If you truly love God, there are things you will never do just for money. God must always come before money.
✨Do not make money your master. Money is a bad master because it controls people. Money is a good slave when it is under your control.
✨God is a jealous God and does not share His place with anything else. Anything that competes with God is dangerous to your spiritual life.
✨We do not live only once; we live on earth and go to live another life. The mindset of “you only live once” is a mammon mindset which often leads people to live recklessly
✨Those who are led by God understand that life continues beyond this world. Mammon focuses people only on earthly gain.
✨Giving is a matter of the heart, not the amount you have. Those who are faithful in giving when they have little will remain faithful when they have much.
✨Money should never be your master. When God is your Master, you give willingly and generously, because your treasure follows where your heart is.
✨Our trust should be in God, not in wealth or possessions. Riches are not the problem; what matters is whether they have taken God’s place in our hearts.
✨ God tests our hearts before releasing greater blessings. He examines our character, priorities, and faithfulness to ensure that money will not control us.
✨ Regularly examine your heart against being ruled by money, making sure God remains your focus and priority.
✨When God is first in our lives, He gives us the wisdom and control over money, material things so they serve His purpose.
✨Put God first above all things. Love and serve Him alone, refusing to be divided between God and money, and guard your heart against the spirit of mammon. “For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” Mark 8:36
✨See money as a tool, not a master. Use it wisely for God’s purposes, without allowing it to control your life.
✨Live with eternity in mind and fully trust in God. Depend on Him above money and possessions, keeping eternity in mind in all you do🙏🏾
