Greed is a sin.
It is one of the seven deadly sins.
When it comes to avarice, do not line up behind pushing unbelievers ahead, it concerns us even more.
Jesus warns us against the frantic search for goods and invites us to be rich for him.
Our life does not depend on what we have.
The miser is rich, selfish, he does not care about others as long as his soul rejoices.
The miser forgets that others may be lacking.
His wealth is his god.
God wants our soul and not our goods, but the miser is not prepared to meet God and that is why God calls him fool.
God does not say that wealth is bad but he calls on us for a discipline especially since nowadays, we encourage the exaggerated accumulation of material.
For the miser, goods are our idol, we have placed our trust in them, they are our masters, they control us, they make us idolaters.
Many Christians suffer from avarice, the Lord wants to lead us to overcome this state of mind in order to show liberality.
Avarice is a feeling that animates the members of a family a lot and tears them apart, each one claims his share of inheritance.
The miser does not want to spend or invest.
The miser always positions himself as a person who has no money, he does not get involved in the activities of the church, he has no sacrifice to make, he has no help to make, he has no contribution to make or to give.
He does not know how to share.
Deuteronomy 15:14 – You shall give him gifts of your flock, of your threshing floor, of your winepress, of whatever you have by the blessing of the LORD your God.
Pray not to be stingy with your blessings.
When the creditor released his slave, he had to hand over material goods to him in sufficient quantity so that he could rebuild his honorable life.
The goal was to prevent the slave from falling back into the trap.
Beloved, the Lord, more than ever exhorts us to compassion, to love and to sharing.
Let us leave the frenzied hunt for riches and return to seek what is essential to us, which is eternal life.
Hello, here
Have a good day
