Money in Itself Is Neither Evil Nor Good
Let me explain something about another scripture than can help us determine where we’re at when it comes to walking in God’s divine plan for finances.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many
sorrows.
1 TIMOTHY 6:10

You know, Satan has preached this verse and has used it more than just about anyone! He even uses preachers who are what I call “Bible illiterates” to hold people back from prospering. They get in their pulpits and preach to people that it’s not God’s will for them to have anything.

I’ve seen it happen. When people start to rise up in their finances and get a nice home or a nice car, these preachers start preaching at them. A husband and wife could go to church dressed really nice, and instead of introducing himself to them and making friends with them, the preacher will get himself behind the pulpit and start preaching against them, putting down the message of prosperity.

Preachers who do that don’t know any better they are Bible illiterates. Many of them have used First Timothy 6:10 to try to prove that money is evil and that God doesn’t want you to have any of it.

First of all, let me get it straight who this verse in First Timothy is talking about. Timothy was not talking to Christians who love the Lord and want to obey Him. And he’s not necessarily just talking to the rich, either.

First Timothy 6:10 says, “For the LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

You know, poor people can love money as much as some rich people love it. And the Bible says it’s the love of money that’s evil. Money in itself is not evil. Money is what you make it. In other words, it’s people’s attitudes about money that can be evil.

You can go to any jailhouse and find people who were locked up because they loved money and robbed someone. And they robbed someone because they were broke! Don’t misunderstand me. Being broke is no excuse to rob someone. But people who have money don’t usually rob other people! So, you see, a broke person could love money as much as a rich person could. And it’s the love of money that’s evil, not money itself.
