(5-Year Anniv.🌻🙌🏻)*
I asked myself what do i want to drum home with this whole *Money* Topic especially this sub-title... *Money Answereth All things.* I told myself *Proper Perspective!*
I will keenly come to the Proper Perspective aspect but let's ask frankly 'What Can't Money do these days?'😁
Aside all the big things money easily clears- Fame,High Positions,Power,Influence; these days it looks like it can oo?... Happiness is for sale...Not to talk of Love because People are or have sold their conscience.
Prayer & even the Faith all seem to be up for sale anaa?
The simply truth comes When after they get all the money, they begin to ask themselves What?...
This is what the same Solomon who had all the *money* that got him all the wives, concubines,houses,beauty,artistery, Precious Antiques, said again in
Eccl2:11
_"Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve,everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;"_
What does it tell you then ...Put the statement in proper Perspective/context *When Should Yes When Should* and this one fits the cup.
*This is it:*
_To answer this we have to understand the CONTEXT in which he said it, so let’s read verses 16-19 from the New King James Version: “Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, and our princes feast in the morning! Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes feast at the proper time—for strength and not for drunkenness! Because of laziness the building decays and through idleness of hands the house leaks. A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry; but money answers everything.”_
_The contrast in verses 16-18 is clear; a country with a noble king who rules with sobriety and strength is blessed, but the country with a lazy and drunken ruler will come to ruin. With this in mind verse 19 shows us the attitude of the drunken ruler._
_They live for PLEASURE (“a feast is made for laughter”) and becoming DRUNK (“and wine makes merry”), and MONEY will provide everything they need to continue their life of partying. So, this is NOT Solomon’s personal opinion, but as he observed life around him, he found this to be the opinion of lazy, pleasure-seeking kings. A good example of this kind of king was Belshazzar, the King of Babylon (see Daniel 5:1-4 )._

So Beloved, Money is important. Money is a Necessity.Money is really needed even the lot of it.Money Talks.Money Opens lots & lots of doors.
However, Generically, *Money does not Answer All Things*...It was only Right within the above explained context.(This happens with other things in various areas of our lives)
*SO I SAY:*
*Money is like Beauty,it can take you to a lot of places but Christ from whom all godly virtues* spring from answers all things pertaining to life.*
*MoneyAnswereth AllThings...Explained Right Within Scripture...The Mini series continues Tomorrow😊*
