Well i got his form Matthew 6:24, it says 'No one can serve two masters.Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.' Basically it means that if we love our money we will eventually neglect God.
Let put it this way, imagine u have a servant, and u r the master. Wat would u do when u find out ur servant has another master?? i bet you will be thinking whether ur servant can perform the duties. And to ensure that to be done u demand a full focus on ur housework only and thus the servant have to neglect another. Similarly, when we love our money, and since money is use to buy/ pay etc. We tend to look for more money, till it come to a point that money is like our life. And resulting we neglect God.
Well u may argue that without money how to survive?? Yeah is true without money we cant survive the daily expenditures. But when we turn money into the very reason that we are on this earth, then there is where u r wrong. We are created for God and not for money. besides we humans created money, so u wan to be a slave for money?? Now when we follow God, it is written that he will provide all our needs - Philippians 4:19 : And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. So when we follow God serve Him whole heartedly and do everything according to His word, He will provide us with everything we need.
