Money is NOT the root of ALL evil

For the love of Money
Holy Money jumpstarts a powerful 3 part talk series

Bro. Jon Escoto, Laguna Feast Builder kicks off the new series with a disclaimer regarding the topic that will be discussed all throughout the series. Since these are topics not normally discussed by the faithful, including the first part of a powerful 3 part series -- Holy Money.

 “Pag binanggit mo ang pera, nag-iiba na ang feeling ng mga tao”

But according to him, Jesus spoke about money more than any subject and noted that if only the people can apply the wisdom of God it will lead them for sure to the path of holiness and that is how to handle money well.

“Money is not the root of all evil but rather the love of money” he added.

Once you start worshipping money that is when it starts to fail, a stern warning given by Bro. Jon.

“Kung kilala mo ang Diyos, dapat malinaw sa’yo na it’s not Gods will na manitili kang nakabaon sa utang”

He also points out that even the bible gives out financial solutions to financial problems.

“Money can be ruthless but it can also be a good servant, use it to help others” Bro. Jon advises.

As a guide Bro. Jon gave out 3 steps toward achieving Holy money: Available, Acceptable and Actionable.

Available – looking at what one currently have and using what is available since God will use that to help make holy money

Acceptable – the willingness to accept the blessings that God is giving and up to what extent can one handle

Actionable – something that can be done and can be attained – reasonable

Summarizing his talk Bro. Jon said that “God does not want you to be a beggar. Use what you have and do what you can and God will do the things that you are unable to do”

“Hindi pangarap ang mag de-determine ng blessing kungdi ikaw at kung ano ang kaya mo”

Further adding that “God is not talking to you about survival but rather fullness of life”
