YENOM is it Latin or Greek or Hebrew for Money?
Money … wealth, medium of exchange for buying and selling
Interestingly there are those who believe only civilized man has money
and some believe that every tribe that’s ever existed has some form of money.
Money is only what we make of it.
Here’s a story: The counterfeit $100.00 dollar bill.
A hunter came to town and asked his friend George, to keep the $100.00 bill for him. George decided to pay off a debt with the bill, hoping to repay it before his friend returned. The bill passed thru 12 different parties before returning to George. When the Hunter returned George gave it back to him, He promptly tore it up and laughed. He then explained it was a counterfeit and a joke.
MONEY is only valuable because we want it to be.
We believe that our money is valuable because there’s Gold to back it up.
Even if that were true, and it’s not.
What value is money in a depression or a famine?
In Genesis 37, Joseph’s family had money, but would have starved if God had not provided for them.
What good is Money? The Lord Jesus said Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
What is your most valuable possession? Some material thing?
Some member of your family?
Let me suggest … your SOUL.
Proverbs 22:1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
Luke 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Yes, we do need to provide for our families:
1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
Yes, we do need an income and should work to provide.
2 Thessalians 3:12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
The story of a man, saved and living for the Lord. He knew he was called to preach, but his savings were small. He decided to set a goal of saving $10,000 before he entered the ministry. When that sum was reached, it didn’t look like enough so he decided $25.000 was his new goal. And on and on and each goal reached pushed the Lord further out of his life. Finally, he reached $1,000,000 and God was completely out of the picture. THEN financial reverses set in and he lost it all.
If only he had obeyed the Lord.
1 Timothy 6:17-19 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Remember: Money is not wrong, it’s how we use it.
O, yes YENOM is just MONEY spelled backwards.
