As children of God, we are blessed to learn the principles of the kingdom concerning money, wealth, and treasure. Jesus, the King of the universe, taught these principles in the Sermon on the Mount, one of the greatest teachings in all of Scripture. It is not merely a manual for good living; it is the holy Word of God that gives us heavenly wisdom and teaches us how to live a life that honors Him.
Today, we meditate on one of the timeless kingdom principles Jesus taught His disciples in every generation: money must remain under our control; money must never become our master. Jesus spoke directly to the heart when He said:
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
— Matthew 6:24
This truth challenges every kingdom citizen to examine the heart and ask: Who is my master—God or money? Money has great influence in this world and can easily control people’s decisions, desires, priorities, and even their hearts. Yet God desires our wholehearted devotion. Everything we have ultimately comes from Him, and we are called to use His gifts according to His purposes.
Jesus had just taught about storing up treasures in heaven, where our treasure is secure and has eternal value. We can use money to provide for our families, meet our basic needs, help others, support ministry, and respond to emergencies. The problem is not money itself but the love of money and allowing it to become the center of our lives.
Paul reminds us:
“Godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.”
— 1 Timothy 6:6
He warns that the love of money can lead people into temptation, harmful desires, ruin, and even wandering away from the faith (1 Timothy 6:7–10).
Therefore, as we journey toward eternal life and wait in hope for the appearing of our King, Jesus Christ, let us faithfully examine how we use everything God has entrusted to us—our money, time, abilities, and resources. Are we using them to advance His kingdom, or merely to satisfy our own desires and luxury?
Let us pray, walk in truth, and keep God first. We cannot serve both God and money as masters. Choose God, and let everything you possess serve His purposes.
God bless you all. Have a blessed day. Love God and love people.
