Another Look @ The Influence of Mammon — Part 2

1. And those who would overcome the god called mammon are those who money will serve ceaselessly, even until they end up becoming true servants of God who are inseparable from Him. (Rev. 12:11, Rom. 8:38-39)
   
2. What most men have realised at the tail end of their lives, or mostly in their 70’s is the futility of hope for a better tomorrow that was hinged on what money can do, which they unknowingly loved for a lifetime. (Ecc. 4:8)
   
   What the gospel of Christ has helped many to do is to expose such vain lifetime pursuits in their twenties and deal a blow to them. (Col. 2:6-8)
   
   And what the gospel of God (or of life everlasting and eternal) is now doing is to perfect our victory over mammon, so we can walk in love with God. (2Cor. 6:16)

3. Mammon is a god that would easily receive service from the souls of those who don’t possess at least the first life in God called Christ, and it can only be fully overcome by those who earnestly seek to be gods (judges) under God by acquiring and walking in the light of life everlasting. (Psa. 82:1, Jn. 10:35, Jn. 1:4)
   
4. A believer who attains or acquires the life and peace in Christ that enables him to selflessly relate with this world and her goods is spiritually wiser than a believer who hasn’t. (Rom. 8:6, 1 Jn. 3:7)
   
   A believer who attains the joy of the Father that enables him to consistently despise the god of this world (mammon) is divinely wiser than a believer who hasn’t. (Heb. 12:2, Matt. 6:24)

5. A believer who hasn’t seen or laid hold of the incorruptible inheritance (the divine nature) can still be enticed by ephemeral things that mammon can offer or tempted by the glories that can be found in Babylon. (2 Pet. 1:4, Jam. 1:12-17, Matt. 4:8)
   
6. Mammon, through the image created by what money can do, has helped generations of men to use the life of their souls to seek and inherit this world in different degrees. (Matt. 16:26)
   
   God the Father, through the image of the Son fashioned while hearkening to the everlasting gospel, is presently helping a generation of those who have the nature of Christ in their soul to access the divine nature which they need to become incorruptible. (Isa. 55:2-3, 1Pet. 1:4)
