💰 **MONEY IS A SPIRIT? WHAT LUKE 16:9 REALLY TEACHES ABOUT WEALTH**
**Dr. David Yonggi Cho ft. John Sagapsapan**
Have you ever heard the phrase, **“Money is a spirit”**?
But what does the Bible actually teach about money?
Scripture does not describe money as a literal spirit that can be commanded. Instead, the Bible teaches that wealth can influence our **hearts, priorities, decisions, and relationships**.
In **Luke 16:9**, Jesus teaches His followers to use worldly resources wisely and with an eternal purpose:
> “Use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.”
Jesus was not teaching believers to treat money as a spiritual being or simply command wealth into existence. He was emphasizing **faithful stewardship**—using what God has entrusted to us wisely, generously, and for His glory.
✨ **IN THIS MESSAGE, YOU WILL DISCOVER:**
✔️ What Luke 16:9 really means

✔️ Why generosity reflects God's heart

📖 **Proverbs 3:9–10** says:
> “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops…”
Everything we have ultimately comes from God. He calls us to **work diligently, give generously, live wisely, and faithfully manage the resources He entrusts to us.**
