Why Money Doesn't Bring Satisfaction by Matrixlord2021: 4:44pm On Mar 27, 2022
In this world,we have seen many renown,many prudent and mighty men.we have also see many genuises,celebrities and Heroes of this modern time in stupendous wealth and riches living extravagantly ,living in luxury and all that comes with success,high positions that the poor covet and even the ordinary man.
But,in all these things ,No one of them has come out to tell the world that they have found SATISFACTION with Money!!!
We discover that even with their wealth,none of them are still saying they have found SATISFACTION.
Many times ,behind closed doors ,these people we look up to have being broken down emotionally,mentally,physically with cries of unsatisfaction and some are living with a Big vacum in their heart because MONEY CAN NEVER BRING SOMEONE SATISFACTION.
We see that it is not because Money itself is evil but it is because THE LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all Evil.
1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
The truth is that Money itself is a God called mammon and it never gives it's worshippers satisfaction no matter how they serve it.
When the author and finisher of our faith,Jesus Christ said that man cannot serve God and mammon,he knew how severe such service is and the effect it would have on man's faith,man's mind,heart and even his soul.

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
The love of money has turned a lot of people into a different man.
The love of money has brought about sorrows ie making money itself brings sorrow after a temporary feeling of being happy for attaining a degree of income by labour or work!!!
No matter the Job description or occupation,making money itself has its own sorrows that come with it.
The truth itself is that while HARDWORK is commended as a virtue of good diligence,it has no means of bringing total satisfaction to man's soul.
Money answers all things ,but not SATISFACTION!!!
Ecclesiastes 10:19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
Every other thing in life may seem to be a commodity that Money can buy ,even man himself money has brought and sold because of slavery.
But there is no where in the scriptures that says Money brought Satisfaction to any person!!!!
Most of the elite who earns and owns billions of money in their account have never voiced out their satisfaction and this is because Money Itself has wings and would fly away.
We can say riches is just a temporary way of classifying money over a period of time
Wealth is another way of classifying things that can be monetized over a longer period of time
Proverbs 23:5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
This means that the value of Money can never remain stable.
This means those making it are subject to the ups and down of the value of Money and pricing of things with money is increasing daily while the things itself are difficult get except only with a high pricing.
This shows why Money can never bring any man satisfaction no matter how he or she spends the money.
People get to certain stages in this life and are happy for only a moment when they get certain amounts of money .
However,some don't know what to do with the money,some spend and spend till they are back to the scratch of penury.
Some spend because such Money was from the Unrighteous Mammon.
This is a shocker because mammon is the goddess of love of money.
What surprised me is that there is righteous mammon again and unrighteous mammon.
Luke 16:9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
Why is this so??
Mammon was the former financial minister in charge of Money in heaven before she fell with Lucifer and his angels and became unrighteous.
The fact that Jesus Christ explicitly told the people that when they fail,they may be received into everlasting habitations makes it clear which place they are going too!!!!
Definitely ,the goddess of money falls under the queen of the coast whom is Satan's vice president .
That spirit is in charge of love of money and also oppresses people with extreme poverty and financial strangulation.
Those who don't make friends with unrighteous mammon become opposed by her on earth and they at one times have no money,lack money or may be in need of money.
We can see here why this wicked spirit steals a prayer less christians finances and also puts embargo on christians who are doing businesses so that they don't get money as they ought to get money.
She persecutes them with insufficiency and lack .
Jesus Christ called her unrighteous mammon because the righteous MONEY belongs to GOD But the unrighteous one belongs to this mammon spirit that many men and heathens and even christians serve indirectly by pursuing ambitions of vanity,by erring from the faith in Jesus Christ and by making a shipwreck of their faith when they misuse God's Blessings on mundane things
We discover that silver and gold ie Money belongs to God.
Haggai 2:8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
When we see that Gold and silver the official currency for which Money is called still exists from the biblical times,then we know that there is no modern name that will quantify money other than what GOD has named it from the beginning of the world.
However,Satan and Mammon have turned money into God's and goddesses that man worship.
It is so sad that these things are ignorantly existing because of man's sin right from the beginning.
When God blesses any of his children with Money,if they are not careful,they would not know when they stop serving GOD and start serving mammon because MONEY doesn't bring Satisfaction !!!! no matter the amount!.
Where or when will money ever bring Satisfaction
The Answer is it can never bring Satisfaction!!!!
I want to believe that it is when christians get back to paradise and after the whole controversy is over then there would be Satisfaction for Man.
This is because the unrighteous mammon people have committed themselves to can never bring nor give them True Riches!!!
Since I termed riches as a temporary collection of money over a short time which would still fly away,then it doesn't satisfy and is not the righteous or true riches.
Jesus Christ again explains this practicality of how people commit to what doesn't bring Satisfaction.
Luke 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Many people are unfaithful when in position of accounting for money because of the love of Money.
If these people were not faithful even to what is unrighteous ,how much more to what is righteous and truly theirs forever that would bring Satisfaction!!!?
What then or when would man be satisfied
We have seen Many people in the bible that were rich and wealthy and still served God and were not carried away with Money.
We have seen many people in our modern times whom God has blessed but are no more in the Faith and have made shipwrecks of their faith because of the fact that they are now serving what can never bring or give them satisfaction after all their achievements,progress or successes in THIS LIFE.
we have seen how the love of Money has made people Thieves, unfaithful and to compromise their faith in getting large sums.
We have seen how money made people corrupt ie the parable of the UNFAITHFUL STEWARD who falsified figures and covered up large sums of embezzled and stolen funds .
Corruption has long started before and it is because Money itself doesn't bring Satisfaction to man.
We saw how the Sanhedrin bribed the soldiers who were guarding the Tomb of the ressurected Christ so as to cover up the story of his ressurection.
Matthew 28:12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
Matthew 28:15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
It is no longer news that it is still a common act today!!!
What then brings satisfaction
What does money bring to man
Money brings temporary happiness and no joy.
Money brings many friends ,but no brother in the time of ones adversity
Proverbs 14:20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.
Money brings recognition,popularity,famousity but no comforter in the time of trouble and loss .
Proverbs 19:4 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour. Proverbs 19:7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
To a christless life,money doesn't bring Satisfaction because what is lost can never be gained with Money!!!!
Deuteronomy 15:11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
The poor and the needy are any category even the rich man can Fall into.
A rich man who is a sinner is in need of Salvation,Deliverance,Good health,Joy,Peace, righteousness,The truth,comfort,patience,meekness,temperance,LOVE, the gifts and the fruits of the Holy spirit because he is always concerned with the thought that people come to him and only associate with him because of MONEY!!!!
He sees it all that money is all what makes people feign their love to him.
He continues to spend an spend and spend to get what he FEELS HE IS IN NEED OF BUT he never gets it at all.HE RETURNS back to his unsatisfaction and the depression starts all over again.
Money brings temporary relief to a problem but doesn't solve the root of the problem.
Money brings mirth and madness but never true friends who speak truth.
It is only when our soul is saved by Jesus Christ that we can have LIFE in ourselves no matter how much money we spend.
It is only Jesus Christ that can give us JOY AND PEACE things greater than the Money we have that doesn't bring Satisfaction but sorrow and woes when it appreciates or depreciates.
It is onky Jesus Christ that can guard us with the truth and give us truth because he is truth.
In Christ alone our HOPE IS FOUND.
There is no hope in Money or satisfaction,one day it would all crash because in this life all things are Temporary.
Meanwhile,while you make MONEY,never make it your God.
Judgment on mammon
Revelation 18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
All she has been having and enjoying would all of a sudden be NO MORE IN A DAY!!!!
The horror of owning what is not yours is worse than the horror of owning it and then it is Taking AWAY FROM you forever.
So is the case of those who are selfish and also keep gathering money not knowing who would spend it.
It would fade away one day and that would be the end.
We are getting also into a stage when the Antichrist would come and control the economy .
By that time access to money would only be possible by the Mark of Satan which is the mark of the beast .
This is how many people would be deceived and take THE MARK.
They would be damned and their souls doomed forever.
That would not be your portion in Jesus name.
