A Master Known as Mammon

In this podcast episode, Chakari delivers a profound message that no one can serve two masters—God and Mammon—emphasizing that Mammon represents the idolization of wealth, greed, and materialism, which ultimately leads to spiritual destruction and separation from God. He warns against placing trust in riches and the deceitfulness of worldly possessions, urging those to seek God’s kingdom first and cultivate faithfulness in managing earthly resources without becoming enslaved to greed. Chakari calls listeners to choose Christ as their true master, rejecting the false security of Mammon, and embracing the eternal riches found only in Jesus Christ’s redeeming grace.

Key Scripture(s): No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (‭‭Luke‬ ‭16‬:‭13‬)
