1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: No man can serve two masters, for either he will

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: hate the one and love the other, or else he

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: cannot serve God and Mammon. Matthew six twenty four. Dear Lord,

5
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: I know that every day there is a choice who

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: will I serve. Will I serve Mammon the culture of

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: the age that tells me I need to buy more

8
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: to be more, or do I serve your kingdom the

9
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: culture of heaven that tells me I am valuable as

10
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: I am because of your love for me. The choice

11
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: in theory seems simple, yet my heart tends to stray

12
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: toward Mammon. Keep me close to you, Lord, remind me

13
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: every day that you are a far greater master and

14
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: worth serving with my entire heart. In Jesus' name, Amen,

29
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: King James version. No man can serve two masters, for

30
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 2: either he will hate the one and love the other,

31
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: or else he will hold on to one and despise

32
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon. Hope you'll

33
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: join with me and let your worship rise up to God. God.

34
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: I praise you for your faithfulness. I adore you because

35
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: your word is true, your mercies endure forever. I praise

36
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: you for your endless grace poured out over those who

37
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: serve you. I worship you for your great kindness. I

38
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: extol your name, for there is no one else like you.

39
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: Financial blessing comes from God when we seek him. They're

40
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: added to us, which include, by the way, the things

41
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: we have. Money is a means provided by God to

42
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: be used wisely on the earth. It is not an

43
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: end in and of itself. If you begin to serve

44
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: it instead of God, you're inviting misfortune into your life. Money,

45
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: as they say, is a terrible master, but an amazing servant.

46
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: Money was created to serve you, not to be your

47
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: incentive or your ruler. Most people, however, miss out on

48
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: the blessing of financial blessings abundance because they seek it

49
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: and not the blesser. Hear me, Seek God to bless

50
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: your finances, and don't rely on money to be your blessing.

51
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 2: Recognize where you have made money a god or you

52
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: have trusted it to save you. Confess your sins to

53
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: God and look to him for help. There's cleansing in

54
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: doing that. Now consider the wonderful and kind Master that

55
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: we serve. Thank you, Father for making away for us

56
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: to enter into your presence. Thank Jesus for dying in

57
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: your place and for paying the price of your sins.

58
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 2: Thank the Holy Spirit for comforting and guiding you at

59
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: all times. Thank God for his tenderness toward you and

60
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: for his continuous goodness in your life. I hope you'll

61
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: never forget the God's present that he's listening to you.

62
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: Hope you'll commit to serve the Lord all of your days,

63
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: you and all of your household. Ask God to help

64
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: you to stay faithful to Him and to be not

65
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: corrupted by material blessings. Ask him to help you remember

66
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 2: your first love and to rekindle the fire of your

67
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: passion to serve the Lord. Ask for wisdom and using

68
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: money to serve you help you. Always remember, no man

69
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: can serve two masters, for no one can love and

70
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: serve them both. You cannot serve God and money at

71
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: the same time. Therefore, choose today to serve God with

72
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: all of who you are and with everything that you have.

73
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: Don't allow greed to enter your heart and steal your

74
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: financial blessings. Instead, choose to love God with all of

75
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: your might and with all of your resources. Do this

76
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: and watches God's blessings of prosperity or manifested over your life.

77
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: Do this and watches God's blessings of favor are manifested

78
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: over your life. Thank you for coming pleading today's meditative
