The same principle applies in our use of money also. Do we misuse our money?
In the olden days, I would carry many coins in my pockets, because I was in the habit of giving to anyone who would ask me for money. But one day, when I gave God spoke to me, and said, “It is not your money, it is Mine. Who are you to spend My money?”. From that day, I decided never to spend even one paisa without asking God’s permission.
Your time and your money both belong to God. I never regarded money as my own. I never buy anything until I am sure God has a purpose in my spending the money. I remember in America I needed a hair cut. I kept praying for three weeks, while my hair was getting very long.
I came to Minneapolis, and the Lord told me to go downstairs to the barbershop where I would get a good hair-cut. And while the barber was cutting my hair, I asked him, “Mr. Bruce, can you tell me whether you are born again?” He said, “No, but I want to be”. So after he finished, I took my Bible and explained the way to him. He knelt down and accepted the Lord. He refused to give me the bill; so the Lord gave me a hair-cut and also the privilege to lead the barber to Himself. I believe from God’s word that we will have to give account for our time and money.
Today’s calendar’s Bible verse:
“The Lord they God in the midst of thee is mighty”. Zeph.3:17.
