[Download Mp3] True Wealth or Worldly Riches – Benny Hinn

No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Luke 16:13

Jesus tells the parable of the shrewd (in some translations ‘dishonest’) manager. The manager finds out that his master will be dismissing him. In order to ensure he is taken care of when he no longer has a job, he endears himself to his master’s debtors by offering to settle their debt for less than they owe. When his master finds out what he has done, he commends him for his shrewdness.

Then Jesus explains the crux of this parable in verse 11: “If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?” (‘Unrighteous wealth’ refers to earthly wealth).

When Jesus says “you cannot serve God and money,” (Luke 16:13) it’s a statement, not a command. It is not possible to serve two masters. The way we handle our earthly resources reflects our heavenly rewards. We should be good stewards, who are generous with our earthly possessions. But we should also recognise that earthly wealth will eventually fail us. Wealth is fickle and it does not provide the ultimate satisfaction our souls long for.
