' *...Money is the root of ALL Kinds of evil*' (*MONEY &ITS ALL THINGS QUAGMIRE)

(5-Year Anniv.🌻🙌🏻)*

_'Sika y3 Mogya'_(Money is Blood). It is an old rhythmic Ghanaian Highlife song though clothed secularly that has sunk so well. And it is true right?...😀

We end the mini- series on Money today.As said, the aim is to put the money issue in its *Right Perspective.*

Of course, Money is important. Of course, it is *really* needed especially in our world today. It gives you _'a sense of respectability'_, paves a lot of ways,helps to achieve a lot of things&also a sign (of a level) of success...All which are needed.

Considered as a *life blood*,Money gives us the feel good factor.I remember my tertiary school days, anytime I was sent money after running out, I became alive again feeling so good.☺

That is Money.It is very powerful.In my situation, it was for a good course but that is where it all starts.
Let's put it right. _*It is not Money but the Love of it that is the root of all evil.(All the accounts are clear)*_
_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._(1Tim.6:10)

Leo Roston says _Money can't buy happiness but neither can poverty._
The Inspiration many(esp.youth) take from this have driven them to go at extreme lengths allowing themselves to be intoxicated with money.

Beloved, this is what it means to love money:
**When you are willing&prepared to forsake your faith just because of Money*
**When People &anything does not matter& are prepared to even sacrifice them in all forms for money.*
**When Money becomes all you think of, do & live for*
**And most importantly,when you start doing the above in little creeping measure.*
_“No one can serve two masters, he will hate the one and love the other...You cannot serve God and money” (Matthew 6:24)_

All these are because of the bad examples of the extravagant lives we see, the woeful lives of many good people, the over- the top goals we set&in general the innate pursuit of worldliness.

Money is a necessary evil& the only cure to pursue it right is the Fear of God.Beloved, it is extremely difficult but it is still possible to think,plan,work,be creative, Seek help, guidance,gain favour &strategise RIGHT.All these are as God lead&enable us to make all the money,be prosperous&manage Right. (Many good examples out there)

In addition:
_Keep your lives free from the  *love* of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”_(Hebrews 13:5)

Let's preach for people to pursue money right instead of against it.Let's also stop chasing Money as if it is the last gape of Air.

*SO I SAY:*
In the Mini-series, *Money &its All Things Quagmire* , we believe *Money Answereth All things,All Things Money can't buy &Love of Money is the root of all kinds of Evil...* have helped to put it in the *RightPerspective*
