“No servant fit serve two oga. E go either hate one and love di other, or hold one tight and look down on di other. You no fit serve both God and mammon.” Luke 16:13
Plenty people dey dream to become rich. To get plenty money dey bring some security and freedom to do plenty things wey most people no fit do. Money, on im own, no be good or bad. If person rich, no wahala. If person poor, no wahala. For God eye, how much money you get no too matter.
Even so, di danger wey dey money na when you allow am become your “oga.” E fit surprise you say even poor people fit allow money become their oga when dem allow di desire to get more money control their life. Di main thing na wetin your heart dey desire and how you take keep your heart free from money as e suppose be.
Wetin your heart hold tight? Na di money wey you get your heart hold tight? Abi na di desire for money wey you wish say you get? Di aim na to see money as e really be. When you look di whole matter well, money no get much value. Na something wey you fit use take care of wetin you need every day, but e no fit ever become di source of your joy and wetin go make your life complete. Na only God suppose be Oga of our hearts, and na only Him fit fill you with true riches.
Today, think deeply about any struggle wey you get because your heart hold money too tight, or because you no get am. God promise say E go provide wetin you need, so e dey very important make you trust Him. And if di money wey you get pass wetin you need, give thanks and learn to give freely as you dey try free your heart from money, wey no be true source of happiness. Make na only di rich grace of God fill your heart and make your life complete; then you go rich for di truest way.
Lord of all, help me make I keep You as di one and only Oga of my life. Give me di grace wey I need to free my heart from everything wey belong to dis world, so I go live for You and follow only Your will. I love You, dear Lord. Help me to love You pass every other thing. Jesus, na You I trust.
