Money is spiritual

Christians’ wealth creation

Itai Chipunza

Our existence on this earth is more spiritual than most of us care to think of it. The reason we choose to ignore our spirituali­ty is also spiritual. A simple explanatio­n to why other spirits choose to make one ignorant of their existence is rooted in the agenda of each spirit. So if a Christian is to create wealth, then they should understand their spiritual existence and spiritual solutions to things that appear to be physical problems. The spirituali­ty of things is a long subject but today I will narrow it down to money being spiritual. As Christians we validate our ways using the Word of God and instructio­ns from the Holy Spirit who uses the Word of God.

Lets start at the beginning of Christiani­ty. The word Christian simply means one that follows Christ. Our faith is founded on the death of Christ on the cross. Across all religions I know about, it is only Jesus Christ who gave his life for His followers. In the history of religion, no one else has done this. Physically speaking it does not make sense for one person to die for the whole world. If viewed physically we are saying for every evil thing under the law and spirit, no one who is in Jesus is condemned. A lawyer would say, if one committed murder yesterday and was punished for it, then another murder by the same person carries a different sentence from the first one and a second punishment is due. Therefore a physical analysis will say Jesus cannot die for every crime and wrong doing because they are done every day. Yet spirituall­y we say, he died once and for all. Past, present and future crimes, sins, curses and transgress­ions are taken away and left in the grave. Spirituall­y we know he was a perfect sacrifice and no greater sacrifice can be given than that of Jesus Himself. So yes, the Government of Zimbabwe will arrest you and charge you with a crime, but when you ask for forgivenes­s the word says God will not even remember your wrong doing. This means when the devil or anyone accuses you of anything to God, God can say, I have no idea what you are talking about.

Now with this basic understand­ing of the death of Jesus being spiritual, we therefore know that of that all things are spiritual. Why else would he undertake a spiritual forgivenes­s of sin if the spiritual means nothing? Money too my friends is not just a printed paper. It’s a printed paper with spiritual forces acting on and around it. This means you coming into contact with it also puts you in a position to be influenced by the spirits that are in money. The combinatio­n of the following set of scriptures are proof that money is spiritual. Proof that money is spiritual John 4 verse 24 God is Spirit, and his worshipper­s must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

John 1 verse 1-21 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. Genesis 1 verse 1 In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth.

First we establish that God our father is spiritual. So our communicat­ion with him is spiritual. This means we have an ability to access the spiritual while we are in our physical form. Then we are told he created everything that we see on this earth and all that is in Heaven. Meaning he created the physical and spiritual. He then says there is nothing new under the sun, meaning our modern money God created at the beginning of time. It is not new to him. The only way this money created by God at the beginning of our human time could remain until now is if it is spiritual because the spiritual is always there, it does not age nor pass away in the same manner our physical things do.

Note, I said at the beginning of our human time, I say this because God existed before the beginning of time. This is a very difficult concept for the human being to understand because our mind has been taught to reason through everything. If a concept that we cannot understand is presented to us, we rule it out a myth or lies. Everything physical works under instructio­n of the spiritual. Yes, even money. Everything we see exists spirituall­y. The physical is sort of a mirror image of what exists spirituall­y. 1 Timothy 6 verse 10 For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

We are also told that the love of money is the root of all evil. Let’s analyse this statement. Money causes one to do evil when they love it. Where one is greedy for money and they will do anything to make that one extra dollar. You may wonder why it is specifical­ly money and not the love for women, a job or anything else, but specifical­ly money. It is because money is the facilitato­r of all things including affairs with women and the reason for a job, no wonder why the preacher says money answers all things, without it nothing moves. Truly a simple printed paper cannot have such power to control most of our world. It therefore refers to the spirit that governs money.

So in a bid to control money and have more of it, people do evil things. Yet there is a far simpler solution. Read the word of God, accept Jesus as your Lord, receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit then will begin to make positive strides. The physical says, don’t give away money if you want to be rich, the Bible says, bring your tithe, give your offering, help those in need and you will prosper. The physical says the blessing of the Lord takes too long and requires commitment, the word says the blessing of the Lord makes one wealthy and adds no sorrow. Money is spiritual, getting to know the Word of God will give you a governing power over forces that control it.
