Jesus Paid It All ... Then Why Do We Live in Debt

Dr. Andrew Liuson, President and CEO of Cityland Development Corp. has given an inspiring message on "Debt Free Living" to Seaoil employees and business partners. It is always inspiring to hear Dr. Liuson, a successful businessman yet remaining faithful and humble before our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He has found what true success is - success that is eternal, long lasting and will always remain.

Just a few thoughts and reflection on his message:

Money is neither good nor bad, but it is simply a neutral medium of exchange. Money does not make the world go round but it surely moves the world and turns it upside down. Money affects the world economy and can either divide or bring closer the rich and the poor. On the other hand, money represents wealth, power and status; as such that it has the tendency to wield extraordinary power over our lives. The questions is not whether you have money but does money have you? Not whether you have material possessions but does your material possesions possess you?

Money is not evil in itself but what the Bible speaks of is the love of money as the root of all evil. It talks about money, like natural resources, material goods or time itself is ours to be used for the glory of God, not to take the place of God.

We must keep on reminding ourselves that God must be first in our lives and that material things cannot satisfy our deepest need. The only way to acquire deep and lasting happiness that always satisfies is when we focus our minds more on accumulating treasures in heaven.

"So do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear?" For the pagans run after these things and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:31-33
