Don\u2019t love money. The Bible says that \u2018<i>the love of money <!--more-->is the root of all evil<\/i>\u2019. If you have a friend that really loves money be careful because that friend can sell you under the right condition and pressure. You must not love money. If Jesus is the Lord of your life, then it should show in your cheque-book. \u2018<i>Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be<\/i>\u2019 <a title=\"Read the Bible\" href=\"http:\/\/bible.us\/116\/mat.6.21.nlt\" target=\"_blank\">Matt.6:21<\/a>. From January to December last year where did your money go? That is where your heart is also. If Jesus is the Lord of your life, it will show in your daily choices. Jesus said to Peter and to the twelve disciples \u2018<i>are you going to desert me also<\/i>\u2019. Peter answered and said \u2018<i>where will we go? We have left everything and we have followed you<\/i>\u2019. In other words, Peter was saying Jesus we do not have a plan B. You are our plan ABC &amp;D.\u00a0 The question to you is, is Jesus your \u2018plan A\u2019? Or is He \u2018plan A\u2019 but you are happy because you have another option. For some people Jesus is their \u2018plan B\u2019 because they have chosen to try their own way first and then God is \u2018plan B\u2019. I have had a couple of people who are going through financial challenges come to me. The first question I ask them is \u2018have you prayed about it?\u2019 In other words, have you taken it to God first? The people who do not have God as their \u2018plan A\u2019 would usually say no. I am always amazed at such people, people who do not consult God but are comfortable to start out with their own plan and then consult man even before they think about going to God. Jesus must be your plan A-Z. Set your heart on God and God alone.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Prayer<\/b>: Father, teach my heart to be rich towards You.
