MONEY: VANITY OR NECESSITY





Happy new week my, dear friend, trust you had a wonderful weekend. Today, I will start by telling a bible story, the parable of the rich fool (Luke 12:16–21), Jesus tells of a man whose land yielded a great harvest. Rather than use his abundance wisely, he tore down his barns to build bigger ones, hoarding for himself and thinking his soul could rest in riches. But God called him a fool. That night, his life ended. It wasn’t his wealth that condemned him. It was his mindset. He had money, but no meaning. Riches, but no reason. That story still speaks today. Money, when held without purpose, turns a blessing into vanity.


Truth is, money is not the root of evil, misuse is. The same note that buys illegal drugs can buy drugs for a sick child. The same money that funds a reckless lifestyle can fund a legacy. We must stop treating money like a sin, and start seeing it as a servant. When spent right, money becomes a message. It speaks in scholarships, in hospitals, in opportunities created for others. When spent wrong, it becomes noise. Loud, shallow, and destructive.


To say money doesn’t matter is to mock reality. Try passion without provision. It won’t go far. Dreams need funding. Purpose needs fuel. Even the gospel needed sponsors, men and women who gave to see the message grow. Money is only vain when the man who holds it has no vision. But in the hands of a purposeful heart, it becomes a tool of transformation.


So, is money vanity or necessity? It is both, depending on who holds it, and why. Misused, it flatters and fades. But when rightly spent, it becomes timeless. In the end, it is not about how much we have, but what we do with what we have. Because when money serves man, lives are changed. But when man serves money, purpose is lost.


Thanks for reading, do not forget to comment, and share with your family and friends, see you next week.
