Grappling with the gods: Mammon (1)

Thoughts bit here and there…in fact scattered all over place.

The topic that I’m passionate and proposing to write paper on it.

And now in midst of doing it, and much prayer about it, that all these things happen.

But then, it brings me to see it more clearly.

Now it’s so much clearer than first time I did my research on it.

Experience is always a very good teacher for me.

Now few things that I can say with true conviction:

1. Mammon is very powerful god.

2. We seldom realized how much we’re overpowered by it.

 

And so, this first entry serves as my introduction.

How much I long, desire, and sell myself into…

That my God is more powerful than Mammon.

And my life a showcase of the victory over it.

As mentioned earlier, that Mammon is very powerful.

And we never realized how much we are under the grip of it.

The moment we try to break out from it, then the power struggle.

It desires to master…to put us under…with all it’s might and power.

And I pray, we won’t bow down to it.

 

I know that final victory will only come last.

In this life time, I probably would never be able to completely defeat it.

Yet i know that on the final day.

I will triumph over it. Will tramp on it with my foot.

And how i long for that day.

And the sweeter the victory, when now on earth, I shall fight with all my strength and heart.

Sweeter the sound of final victory.

When i see my God triumph over it. Defeat it completely.

And there i know, really know, the taste of true victory.

Till then, may the Lord strengthen our hands.
