What would you
do if I said, ‘I’ve won the lottery!!’ ? *
Would you just
send me congratulations, heartily?
Would our
relationship remain just as now,
Or would you
think, ‘Gotta get closer, but how?!’
Would your
opinion of me shift significantly,
And I then become
your best friend, quintessentially?
Would you then
start calling me on my phone,
Then suggest
visiting me at my home?
Could ‘money significant’ change not only my life,
But also
suddenly end all loneliness and strife?
Seriously, I
ask, ‘What would be the impact
Of money
putting my life on a brand new track?!’
You might
think, ‘Hmmm, now he can really LIVE,
And have some
left over to me to give!
With that much money,
there’d be no budget to nurse!’
Friend, what do
you get when you spell ‘LIVE’ in reverse?
Look! The ‘Y’
in MONEY points both downward and up;
Down to a trap,
up to a god as in worship.
The god’s name
is YENOM, and his trap is all EVOL,**
As the LOVE of
MONEY is the root of all EVIL.
Money lovers, of
money you’ll never have enough.
Luxury lovers, you’ll
never be satisfied with stuff.
When good
things increase, their consumers suddenly arise!
It is as if
your money suddenly sprouts wings...and flies! ***
Of this
conundrum, God has forewarned us,
Never in money
should we put our trust!
But we plod
along, acting like He is the one unwise!
Thus, money
continues to deceive all our hearts and eyes.
This is one
deception that never needs to be.
Money’s just an
illusion on which we all agree.
Yes, it can do
some good in your life and society,
But only with
God in your heart, and whom you love is He.
Beware of god
Yenom, he’s always on the prowl,
Seeking someone
to deceive, someone’s life to foul.
Make all your
money honor Jesus,
...no matter how
much comes your way.
Make it bow ‘its
knee’ to Him,
...so for
deception you won’t have to pay!
