READ: Luke 12:13-31

“But godliness with contentment is great gain” . 1 Timothy 6:6

Some people are not called to be heads, but they want to be heads. They look with greed at the things their superiors have. They look with greedy eyes at the cars and houses which their bosses have! Some people would not even be satisfied if they were given your wife. They do not just want what you have. They actually want to be you! Some people are so greedy that they want nothing but to replace you. They want to be you!

The Bible says, “Beware of covetousness.” The prodigal son had everything at home. Do you remember what he said in his time of need? He declared that even the servants in his father’s house had more than enough to eat.

Discontentment and greed drove him out of a place where he had everything. He was inspired by demons to seek after non-existent fantasies.

Whenever someone is led by evil spirits, he ends up in a dark and barren land. It is the Lord who leads people to green pastures. It is the devil who leads people to the place of desolation.

Do you have the spirit of greed? Let Apostle Paul’s admonition guide you and deliver you from this destructive spirit of greed:

“But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment” (1 Timothy 6:6, NASB).
