Ingcebo nodumo kukimi; yebo, ingcebo ehlala njalo nokulunga (Izaga 8:18)
Iyini ingcebo? Uma ukhuluma ngengcebo nengcebo, abantu abaningi bacabanga ngokushesha ngemali. Ngoba kuleli zwe ukuceba kusho ukuba nemali eningi. Kulungile? Kodwa lapho iBhayibheli likhuluma ngengcebo nokuceba, ingabe iBhayibheli lisho nokuba nemali eningi? Noma ingabe iBhayibheli lisho okunye?
Iyini ingcebo ngokwezwe?
Imali isiyisizinda somphakathi; konke kuvela ngemali. Konke mayelana nokuzuza imali eningi ngangokunokwenzeka. Abanye abantu abahambisani nomthetho, imithetho, imigomo, kanye nemibandela yezinkampani, umphakathi, uhulumeni njll. futhi benze umsebenzi ongamenyezelwanga, yenza ukukhwabanisa, ukweba noma ukuzama ukubalekela izintela njll. Bazama ukuthola imali eningi ngangokunokwenzeka, ngazo zonke izinhlobo zezindlela ezingekho emthethweni, ukuze bakwazi ukufeza inkanuko nezifiso zenyama yabo. Kepha uNkulunkulu ubona konke.
Uthando lwemali nokuhahela izinto ezibonakalayo, iyanda kuphela. Futhi into ebuhlungu, ukuthi akwenzeki emhlabeni kuphela, kodwa kunamabandla amaningi kanye namabandla agxile emalini. Bashumayela izigijimi zenyama, ezigxile ezimalini nasemalini.
