What breaks the power of greed? (2)

The first thing you need to do to break the power of greed is to make a radical decision to be generous. You simply have to start giving away. Giving a tithe is a good start.

The second thing is to begin to focus on the needs of others. Make a list of people around you. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you what these people's needs are. Ask yourself the question: What can I do for them?

Thirdly, you need to ask the Holy Spirit to help you to be content with what you already have.

Fourthly, reflect on eternity. Greed makes one lose perspective on eternity. Eternity judges mercilessly on all the temporal things we have. Read Luke 12:13-21.

The power of greed is broken when you go to God and study him until you understand His character and promises, till we know: "God is enough."
