How have you seen money being a competitor with Jesus in people’s lives today?
-
Money is a competitor when we decide to work instead of going to church. Also, when we chose not to pay tithes to the church. When we pay our tithes, its saying that we put God first.

Because of our low personal nature, it is very difficult to accept to let go of thinking about money as ours. Because it is deeply ingrained in the mind. However we need to know to repent and change the perception of money or everything is God’s and we are just housekeepers.

Money is a competitor, if not the biggest. As a person who believes in giving, weather to the church or local community, I’ve encountered many who have a hard time believing and turning to Jesus because they say, “I’m not giving that preacher my money”, or “If people want what I have, they need to work like I did.” So many of us don’t realize that all that I have comes from and belongs to Him.

Money is a huge temptation in the life of a disciple of Jesus. It governs the focus and decisions of God’s followers. However, to please God, we must choose Him over money and realize that everything we have was given to us by God.

‘Chasing the dream’ and ‘Keep up with the Jones’ are 2 slogans that come to mind. How we choose to handle money drastically affects who we are. It’s not always bad, but 1 common thing is emphasis on me.
