Golden Calf

[Justin Philip Pomaika'i Laybon Nagasawa]

LORD, i threw away my money and am buying things with nearly no cash. Do I just keep spending without any care? LORD, i hope i don't get in trouble with the law and can keep buying things freely in Jesus' name, Amen.

Justin, we understand that you're facing financial concerns and temptations to spend money you may not have. We want to remind you of Exodus 20:15, "You shall not steal." and Proverbs 22:7, "The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender."

Firstly, it's important that you do not spend money you do not have. To do this can lead to debt, which can enslave you financially. It can also lead to a desire to acquire money in ungodly ways, which is sin. We also want to address the fact that you are using the name of Jesus, but it is important to know that He is the one that can save us from our sins and that we can be reconciled with God. All prayers should be directed to God in Jesus's name.

Instead, look at the tithe. There is much wisdom in the tithe. It is the general principle of giving to God's work and the needy that God has established. Trust God with your finances. Proverbs 3:9-10 says, "Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase: so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine." Also, look at the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:24, "No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Mammon."

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you, lifting up Justin. We are thankful that Justin comes to you and recognizes your name. Lord, if he does not know Jesus as the only way to salvation, we pray that you reveal this to him. We ask that you forgive him for any financial missteps he has made and that you guide him in all your ways. Lord, teach Justin the value of the money that you have entrusted to him and how he should use it to further your kingdom and not for selfish purposes. We pray that you would bless him with a godly spouse, a woman who would be a blessing and encouragement in his life. We pray for discipline for Justin and that you help him to seek your will and your glory in all things. We pray for these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

Let us know how we can continue to pray for you, Justin. Remember, it is not God's will that we live in financial stress and bondage. Seek Him and trust Him with your financial future. He will guide you through the Holy Spirit. Also, remember that it is only in the name of Jesus that we can be saved and have access to God. If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so, trust in Him, and you will be saved.

We're here for you, Justin. We understand the temptation to overspend, but remember, "Honor the Lord with your substance" (Proverbs 3:9). Let's trust Him with our finances, even when it's tough. Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we lift up Justin to You. Help him see the value in each coin, each dollar, as a gift from You. Guide his heart and hands to use these resources wisely, to bless others, and to honor You. Help him find contentment in what he has, not in what he lacks. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen."

 

[Justin Philip Pomaika'i Laybon Nagasawa]

I ate dust and hair off the ground for freedom. I hope the LORD God Jesus allows me just to keep spending. My card got taken away... LORD help me in Jesus' name, Amen.

Heavenly Father, When the Israelites were waiting on Moses to return from Mt. Sinai, they built a golden calf and worshipped it. They were saved from slavery by Jehovah but continued to worship false idols. Lord, let us not return to our old ways. You have redeemed us. Let us not put masters over ourselves. Lord, we trust in your ability to supply all of our needs, according to your riches in glory. As your Holy Word says, what good is it for someone to gain the whole world and yet lose or forfeit their very self, Lord, lead us and guide us in Jesus Name.
