in Steem4Nigeria4 months ago (edited)

Good morning my country people and all other steemians all over the world, I hope you had a splendid night rest, because me I slept like a baby(smiles). It is another new week fill with positivity and good will,no room for failure and mediocrity my darlings, be in charge and be in control. Because with God on our side, everything is possible.

I want to say thank you generally to this amazing community and its users for always publishing new and educating topics, and i most specifically appreciate @sahmie for organizing this contest. Keep making exploits.

"They say money is the root of all evil but I say money is the driving force or the power of a Nation"

Let's know how through the contest hint questions:-

1: 🌟*Do you think money is really the root of all evil, or do you think it's more about how people use money that can lead to bad things happening?

NO! With a capital letter, money can not be the root of all evil but it is how people make use it that's termed "evil".

Okay.. look at what the bible says in 1Timothy6:10...

"For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows".

Note: The bible did not say that money is the root of all evil but it states clearly that the "love" of money is the root of all evil.

I hope you can spot the difference from my explanation, it is the love of money that makes it evil. Because when someone loves money he/she would tend to abuse power, privileges given to him/her.

If God condemned money, He wouldn't say this in Deuteronomy 8:18👇

"But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day".

So you see, prosperity is of the Lord. It is a thing of Joy to God seeing us his children prospering and making impacts in a positive way.

2: 🌟Can you think of any examples where money has actually done some good, like helping people in need or supporting good causes?

That's 👆a good cause of money

My dears' forget it,if you don't have money in this life I don't think you can amount to anything, yeah! You might have the technical know-how but without money to develop that your skill,idea and dreams "you are all men most miserable".
Some people say,money stop nonsense yeah, of a truth money command respect, you can take that from me.

Examples are seen everywhere what having money can do in a positive way.
We work to earn a living (that's to get money), in order to know how to read and write we have to go to school; it is money that facilitate that process. Or is it a roof we get over our heads, that's the outcome of having money, money put food on our table asides God that make provision.
Okay, look at, as little as me writing on steemit platform I used money to buy data.

Money has helped saved lives, imagine someone having a life threatening ailment that would required millions to facilitate an operation,my dear if you can't afford it you are done for.

So I'll say that money rules the world

3:🌟How do you personally see money in your own life? Do you think of it as a tool to achieve your goals and create opportunities, or do you have a different way of looking at it?

I see money as a tool that would help me fulfil my purpose and destiny. That's why I kept praying to God and also working hard to have enough money not only having it for myself but most importantly to be a blessing to others by meeting their needs and rendering help where necessary, because I know what it feels like to be in lack.
A little thing like not having money to buy paracetamol to subside a headache can lead to death.
When I have money I'll build conglomerates and be an employer of labour,that in turn would give people the opportunity also to create or make money for themselves and also put food on their table.

4: 🌟Have you ever seen situations where people doing anything for money caused problems or made things unfair?

Yes!. I have seen situations where people doing anything for money causes problem.
For instance: During an election people can go extra mile just to be in power,in order to access money. They can kill, manipulations of voting process, creating violence. These can cause problems to the masses and also made things unfair for the masses.

This topic is not something that can be exhausted in a day but for the purpose of this contest, I'd love to stop here.

Thank you for Reading

Great post, @tripple-e! Your perspective on money is thought-provoking. It's true that money itself isn't inherently evil, but it's the love or misuse of it that can lead to problems. Your references to biblical verses add depth to your argument. Also, your examples of how money can be a force for good, such as supporting education and saving lives, highlight its positive impact. Wishing you success in achieving your financial goals and making a difference in the lives of others.

I love the way you backed you point with the bible,the way you out layed your view of the topic was impressive,I to agree with you.

Good day dear, Your perspective on money is well-articulated. You highlight that the love of money, not money itself, is the root of evil, drawing insights from biblical references. You rightly emphasize the positive impact of money, such as supporting charitable causes, education, and saving lives. Personally, you see money as a tool to fulfill your purpose, create opportunities, and bless others. Your examples, including the influence of money in elections, add depth to your thoughtful response.
