Humble Beginnings
Galatians 5:7; Revelation 2:5

Many money-mad preachers began their ministries with a humble, sincere heart. Some were once hungry, penniless, and in need of My miraculous deliverance out of great straits. A vow was made to Me by one desperate man: “Lord, if you will lift me up from the dunghill of poverty and enable me to preach Your Word, I’ll give You all the glory and live only to testify of Your greatness.”

In those austere days, every scrap of food was precious to him, and every penny was an object of stewardship. Once this double-minded man got beyond the subsistence level of fund raising and the money began to roll in, that preacher had second thoughts about putting Me first. He was hooked on the thrill of fat envelopes returning to him in response to his monthly mail-outs. He began to turn into a contented cow fattening himself on the finest. Money had become a goal in itself, and the high it gave him supplanted the joy of loving Me and manifesting My life to others.

Let those who have reached the pinnacle of earthly success remember the Valley of Humiliation from which I lifted them, lest their souls become corroded with idolatrous pride. The gold of this world is transitory, and love of money is a deep pit into which many fall and from which they never return.

Remember to acknowledge My Lordship in financial matters, as in every other area of life. It is dangerous to forsake the Lord and serve Mammon. Not only did I lift you out of satan’s pits, I am actively keeping you out of them!
