When money speaks, let it not deceive you

Have you ever had a conversation with  money? And you agreed which amount will ensure you don't go hungry,  the other portion will take care of you in case of an emergency, the other ensure your landlord will not kick you out and of course the one that ensures you 'live' from day to day...

But is the possession of money all that one needs to live/survive/ carry on with day to day activities?

How about this...

"Human beings find it much easier and natural to trust mammon which they can see than God whom they cannot see.  Such trust in mammon even if it was just one percent is an idolatrous approach  that is sinful, because God hates all forms of idolatry. While the immobile and man made golden, wooden and creature idols tend to be mute and unable to promise anything, money is dangerous because it talks both to those who have it and those who don't. In both cases, Money pretends to be all powerful, able to secure those who have it, posing a more dangerous form of idolatry. 
A person begins to overcome the idolatry of mammon when he or she begins to exercise their faith by giving it up  to facilitate God's priorities at the expense of  personal ones. When a believer releases their treasure to take care of God's work first, i.e begins to store  up treasures in heaven, not minding about his or her own needs, he or she immediately initiates the process by which the spirit of self-centeredness  and idolatry is destroyed and creates room for the spirit of God  to take over to help enthrone God as provider and guide their growth into Christ-likeness."
