Save

Most of the problems in our world today are the product of greed. We do not take the time to share with others in need. We will find our love for money will become a horrible curse. It does us no good when we ride in the back of a horst.

He was a multimillionaire…this oil tycoon. Little did he know his soul would be required of him soon. There is no amount of money that can buy off the Angel of Death’s coming. Man can not see his face or hear that it is the death march he is humming. “Lord I have much money,” the man cried out loud to the master. The father answered, “Yet, with all your wealth, your life has been a disaster. You hoarded your millions and ignored the cries of the poor. Now your money is useless for it cannot pass Heavens door. The moral of this story is do good when you can. Give to the poor and befriend anyone in need… the mark of a righteous man. Your money can pile up… saved for a brighter tomorrow But if your soul is required tonight you will be met with only sorrow. Love the Lord your God with all your heart… soul and mind. Love your neighbor as yourself and then true riches you will find.

Such a wonderful and profound write my friend. Full of wisdom and great advice. For many have fallen because of greed and lust! Money is truly a tool that can be used for the good of God if we pray and allow His guidance to inspire us and teach us how to use it, or it can be a tool of satan that can destroy even the wealthiest if used for the wrong reason and we allow greed into our hearts. The love of money leads to many other destructive lifestyles that will doom our soul. The story of the rich man in hell should be enough to deter people from this greed, but the enemy is cunning just as he was when he spoke to Eve in the garden of Eden. Prayer and fasting is the only way to keep our desire, spirit, heart, soul, and mind strong enough to resist the temptations that the enemy throws at us, or often times sneaks in on us with when we are unexpecting! Great write, very powerful words that we should all heed! Enjoyed!
Blessings,

great super man poeming Lew, and your poem is true, wealth is great but not if you got your head stuck up your own behind, a mans outer comforts might be satisfied but his inner comforts will always be lacking
