If you're a Christian whose prayer is driven by or composed mostly of supplication for material things like money... Let me tell you how you'll turn out.

As you get more skilled at your job and more known, you'll make much more money.

Then you won't find thay fuel for prayer...

Prayer will become hard and boring. Your raison d'etre for prayer will be gone.

And once you stop praying you'll also lose your zeal for fellowship with God and the saints.

Then your appetites will change. They'll be more sensitive to the enjoyment of this world.

Then comes the useless questions.

Why is the church like this? Why did God do that?

You'll be more easily offended.

People will say you've changed or backslidden but the truth is you've not changed.

Money has always been your god, the pinnacle of your values by which you...

...Orient yourself in this world.

And your god simply came to take possession of his property. You didn't change. You just manifested.

But you reading this, I'm convinced of better things concerning you.

Your life is not in the abundance of money.

You won't serve mammon

Acquire skills, be prudent in spending.

Trust God for favour and be content.

All you needs will be met.

Your priority is to be reconciled to God and help men be the same.

Every other thing including money is a means to that end.

This is how to Orient yourself, dear believer.
