THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL

MONEY MONDAY

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows – 1 Timothy 6:10

The love of money is idolatry which breaks God’s first Commandment of not having any gods before Him. Idolatry is the root of all evil. It then manifests itself as covetousness or greed which breaks the tenth Commandment.

After this anything goes. Fuelled by greed, those who worship money will lie to get it, steal to have it, dishonour their parents for it, fornicate naturally and spiritually to have it, they’ll even kill to get their hands on it.

The reason many people do evil is because they love money. The root of evil is in them and as it grows, it bears evil fruit. To rid your life of evil you must first rid your life of the its root, the love of money.

PRAYER

Father in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that you purge my heart of the love of money. Rid my life of idolatry and covetousness which lead to disobedience. Amen.
