Greed is Trouble

Watch out for greed. It can take people to places they simply don’t want to go but they don’t know they don’t want to go there at first. Greed can create war and cause division. It doesn’t solve problems. Greed creates bigger problems. In 1 Timothy 6:10 it states, “For the love of money is a root to all kinds of evil. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. Greed can leave people in a state of insanity. One who is riddled with greed will want more and more. They’ll never become full unless they re move the spirit of greed.

 

People who Fall for Greed

There’s way too many people who have lost their lives due to greed. We’ve all heard of stories of people wanting more so they take out polices on their loved ones and find a way to obtain the money for their own pleasure. We’re in the world of more and more. People are so in tuned with obtaining and not in tuned with giving. It’s a bitter and cold world and for those who aren’t riddled with greed, they should stay clear of those who are, they too could be sucked in by the greed bug. Greed is so awful. It creates hate and it doesn’t like unification. It wants to grab as many people as it can. It’s Satan’s field. Well, that’s where greed belongs, it’s apart of Satan’s. He wants people to be consumed with greed. That way he can overtake them and break them down so that they’re faith leaves.

Greed won’t hide. It will let everyone know what it wants. One who is filled with greed will be triple minded. They will be on one person side and then another when they find out that the other has more. A greedy person will turn away from their family in order to obtain money or whatever’s connected to the greed.  They’ll want to have it all. No one can have it all.

Some don’t need more money. They simply want more money. If one can help it. They should find friends who are willing to give to others and feel good about blessing others. Those with the greed spirit can be challenging. They won’t care how others feel. They’ll want to gain more and watch the poor with gleam. Stay away from greed. Greed offers no hope.

They may not desire to help others but to receive and rarely give.

      • Greed doesn't care. It is similar to hate. Greed can take people places they wouldn't agree to go normally but because the greed has taken hold. They become monsterous.
