Over the years have gone by, we’ve been settling with a certain concept that money is a general means of exchange. Actually, I now have a discordant perspective on such notion having being advanced in the present monetary world. You see having witnessed the current money ability in our society at large, one can deduce that money is longer a means of exchange as we’ve been conventionally, compelled to believe in our homes, schools, offices and other whatnot but something far more powerful, influential and potent than that.
Superficially and profoundly, I studied money and I was able to come up with a certain idea of what money really is and this is what I got: money is a god!.... Oh! was I mistaken? Hell no! you got that right surely you did cause that wasn’t a mistake and am gonna repeat it again: money is a god. Right now, some are probably trying to decipher that concept: money as a god so I guess the real question here is “what qualifies money as a god?” worry less cause that’s what am gonna simplify below.
Before I launch into an expatiated definition of the above concept I would love to put this question to us, I just told you money is a god so the question is what is a god? Well, from my perspective, a god is a supreme and mysterious being who is infinitely perfect in all perfections, in more words, nothing is impossible for a god to do. Truly, I say to you in this article “money is supreme” and also “money can do all things in our time” and am gonna be proving it in this article.
GODLY ATTRIBUTES OF MONEY
MYSTERIOUS: I believe something is termed mysterious when it is way beyond the human comprehension, same concept applies also to money. Money is diversely mysterious just like a god as in the case of our today’s activities in our various ramifications of life like religion, education, profession and other whatnot, private lives not excluded. The power of money cannot be exhaustively detailed and comprehended because it is a mystery nonetheless, I’ll be giving out my best in explaining the little I can.
“Money makes the world go round” is a popular saying in our generation but one funny thing is people always wonder how does money make the world go round? well money does not practically make the world go round rather money turns the situation around not just that also the hearts of humans from one end to another and back to that same end should the need arise. And we are also aware that only a god is capable of changing the hearts of men and situations instantly. It may surprise you seeing money changing the human heart rapidly but my dear, it is highly possible.
Another mysterious concept of money is the issue of the division of world today. The world is now divided into spiritual god worshipers and money god worshipers, many of us today worship money more than the God we serve and yet do not know but, I'll tell you something, some of us do use the time kept aside for God to take care of monetary matters and also think of money before God and in the course of doing that, we are making money our personal God. Why on earth would money create such a division on earth if not for the fact that it is also a god? Actually, this is getting more complicated than I expected but nevertheless, it should be taken into consideration that only a god can challenge a god, so if money is potent enough to stand up to a god, then money is and should be proclaimed a god!
LEADERSHIP AND POWER: Leadership is a very vital feature of a god as he is seen as the supreme being who has the power to compel subjects to do his bidding and also guiding the activities of his subjects. Money possesses such an attribute, as many tend to have a change of plans and ideas when money is present. With money in your possession, many wrongs automatically become right, people proclaim you their leader and the masses tends to listen to everything you say unlike a fellow without a penny.
“Money is a terrible master but an excellent servant” is a famous saying which simply creates an impression that money leads but can also serve it’s bearer loyally when utilized properly. Same case applicable to gods of our time they are all masters but when utilized properly they seem to be servants to us, don’t judge me on that if you know what I mean. Just have one thing in mind in this paragraph, money commands loyalty which automatically puts the bearer in the position of a leader.
INDEFINITE CAPABILITY: Still, on it, money is acknowledged a god due to its indefinite capability. Money can do all things, do you have a concordant view of that? I bet you need time to cogitate about that meanwhile, lets look into some issues money like I said can do all things both within and beyond human comprehension, come to think about it, throughout our years of existence I don’t think I’ve seen any issue that can’t be addressed with money, any service that can’t be rendered with money, any support that can’t be gotten with money, any valuable on earth that can’t be bought with money even love today can be bought with money, what about happiness? Oh that’s a non-significant problem for money and to my greatest surprise, even children are being bought with money today in our hospitals and some mothers do sell their children wholeheartedly for a certain sum of money and I begin to wonder, what else is there on earth that money cannot do, buy and change? If there is any, surely I would love to know.
At this junction, I think I’ve been able to drop some cogent analysis and points why money is and should be proclaimed a god, not just that but also a more advanced meaning of what money truly is. Even in our Christian Bible, Jesus Christ himself directly or indirectly proclaims money a god in the book of Luke 16:13 when he said: “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money “ here in this statement, comparing money to God simply puts money in a godly standard because a human cannot be compared to a god and because only a god can be compared to a god, money automatically becomes a god.
Feel free to let me know what you think of this idea so far cause am always open to new concepts and innovations. but I would like to let you know about one interesting fact. Words back I told how I wondered what money cannot afford on earth well, I ventured into a serious research and guess what! I uncovered just one thing money can’t afford and that is…..….you really wanna know what it is right? I sincerely apologize but I’ll be giving you that information on my next article, so stay with me.
