Material resource is important because it is the mechanism that allows us to accomplish things. And so if we don’t have money we cannot move. If the ministry didn’t have the money, it cannot move. We wouldn’t even be here if we didn’t have the money to spend for the transport. In fact we are working abroad because the money here is better than back home. And so money is important.
However, we should not be too concerned about money that it becomes a struggle already. Struggle with money is a trap by the Devil. And you will know when the Devil has caught you because everything will become heavy for you. And that’s where Satan wants you, he wants you burdened with all the troubles, with all the cares of this world. And getting out of that does not require that you get more money. Because you will get trapped in that situation again the very next time money runs out. And people tend to fight it by saving in the bank. That will not work. Why? Because trouble is gonna come. No matter how big your bank account is, trouble is gonna come to you. The Bible says so, for everyone shall be salted with fire.
In Philippians 4:12 The Apostle Paul says, I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.
And so it doesn’t matter so much whether we have plenty or we have less. I wouldn’t be too concerned if some of you are in financial distress right now. Whether we are in abundance or in need, it does not really matter. Because plenty and hunger are each a challenge on their own. What matters is that we learn that secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. That secret is what we should be concerned about.
Even so, it should be enough for us to know that the good God who is our Father in heaven knows that we have need of money. It should be enough that we know that He knows. Because He is good and surely He shall supply all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
