1. No man can ignore the faith that was designed to facilitate our escape from this world, and not hustle after money in a crude or civilized manner. So also, can no man be at home with the pseudo peace that this world offers, and know the peace that only Jesus can give, which surpasses all human understanding (Jn. 14:27, Phil. 4:6-7).
2. The love of money has been an age-long cancer of the soul, long before cancer of the body was ever diagnosed. It has left the soul of many believers unhealthy and covetous, and it remains an unarmed robber that has consistently stolen the birthright of many believers, robbing them of their inheritance in Christ and in the Father (1Tim 6:9-10, Lk. 12:15, Eph. 5:5).
3. The love of money or what money can do is a knowledge that came from a tree. The reward of being perfectly liberated from that love or all evil also comes from a tree; of the tree of life that we can only partake of after being fully healed by teachings of the doctrine of Christ (i.e., of life and of perfection or life everlasting). (Gen. 3:6, Rev. 2:7, Heb. 6:1a-b).
4. The love of money in most men can be traced to an evil eye or a beclouded judgment that is mostly formed while esteeming things created, above things that the learning of Christ and the Father imparts to the soul; things that have a worldly anointing to limit men from coming to God (Matt. 6:22-23, Lk.16:15).
5. There is nothing wrong with owning and enjoying things that money can provide or things that God still freely gives. But what the Lord, through His epistles, frowns at is that such things should neither satisfy us nor compete with good and glad things (tidings) of the gospel, which we should rather keep seeking until we possess the content of peace and salvation contained therein (Rom. 8:32, Ps. 103:5, Isa. 52:7).
6. What men truly believe in can be traced to what consumes their daily meditation, or what they habitually invest their time, money, or resources in, which are mostly vain in nature. And so, any breakthrough that doesn’t change how we previously used our time, money, and resources, is not a breakthrough from vanity or vain things to enduring and everlasting things (Col. 3:1-2, Jn. 6:27).
7. The Love of money or of what money or mammon can offer is a temptation that is best handled by not just the enlightenment in Christ but by the enlightenment in the Son of (the living) God (Matt. 4:1-10, 16:16). The tendency to fall for such a temptation or evil, requires not just the priestly judgments (or thoughts) that stream from the words of Christ, but those that stream from the high priestly judgments of God the Father (Heb. 4:12, Jn. 5:30).
8. The love of money can be found in the love of anything that can wax old with time or use; things that we can never truly own, but faithfully use by the help of the Holy Ghost or the wisdom of Christ (1Cor. 7:31, Ecc. 5:15). Through it, men lavish their affections on things beneath rather than on things that are above; things that are truly heavenly or that would last forever and ever (Col. 3:1-2, Jn. 8:23).
