4 ACCUMULATION AND FINANCIAL FREEDOM<br />
Accumulation <strong>of</strong> money <strong>in</strong>dicates lack <strong>of</strong> faith.<br />
Heb 13:5 Keep your lives free from <strong>the</strong> love <strong>of</strong> money and be content<br />
with what you have, because <strong>God</strong> has said, "Never will I leave you;<br />
never will I forsake you."<br />
Dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> period <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sojourn <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Israel through <strong>the</strong> wilderness<br />
this was <strong>the</strong> ma<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>me <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>’s teach<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Exo 16:4 Then <strong>the</strong> LORD said to Moses, "I will ra<strong>in</strong> down bread from<br />
heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and ga<strong>the</strong>r enough<br />
for that day. In this way I will test <strong>the</strong>m and see whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y will follow<br />
my <strong>in</strong>structions.<br />
Those who disobeyed and ga<strong>the</strong>red more and accumulated ‘<br />
Exo 16:18-21 And when <strong>the</strong>y measured it by <strong>the</strong> omer, he who<br />
ga<strong>the</strong>red much did not have too much, and he who ga<strong>the</strong>red little did<br />
not have too little. Each one ga<strong>the</strong>red as much as he needed. Then<br />
Moses said to <strong>the</strong>m, "No one is to keep any <strong>of</strong> it until morn<strong>in</strong>g."<br />
However, some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m paid no attention to Moses; <strong>the</strong>y kept part <strong>of</strong> it<br />
until morn<strong>in</strong>g, but it was full <strong>of</strong> maggots and began to smell. So Moses<br />
was angry with <strong>the</strong>m. Each morn<strong>in</strong>g everyone ga<strong>the</strong>red as much as he<br />
needed, and when <strong>the</strong> sun grew hot, it melted away.<br />
