Imali ngokuyisisekelo isilinganiso senani. Yiyunithi elisetshenziselwa ukukala inani lempahla ... imali, ngokweqiniso umoya. Iphepha liwukumelwa ngokomzimba kwento engokomoya ebizwa ngokuthi yimali. Le nto ilawulwa ngunkulunkulu obizwa ngokuthi ama-mammon njengoba kusho uJesu.  

Ukuqonda amandla emalini nokuthi kusebenza kanjani, kufanele siqonde ukuthi imali akusona isiphetho ngokwayo kodwa ngezindlela zokuphela. Izwi lemali yilona elinikeza inkulumo engokomzimba. Kepha umongo wawo ungokomoya (umnyombo ungokomoya futhi izwi lingokomzimba). Sibona abantu behweba ngoba ngabe bathembisa endabeni yemali futhi umnyombo wemali yimali ekhombisa ukuthi kuhlale kugeleza. Imali ihlala ihamba. Abaningi bathandazela imali kepha imali imayelana nesimo hhayi umkhuleko. Umthandazo ungakusiza ekutholeni isikhundla nokuhlakanipha ongakubeka endaweni ukuze ukwazi ukubamba imali. 

Njengamakholwa uma sifuna ukushintsha ukugeleza kwemali kusuka ezinhlelweni zomhlaba ezinhlelweni zethu njengesonto. Kufanele sibheke imigomo esethiwe esebenza, enikeza futhi isebenza lapho kuhamba khona imali. Ubekelwe endaweni ongayigibela ngayo imali. Imfundiso yokudluliswa kwengcebo inamandla kodwa sinawo amakholwa acele uNkulunkulu ukuba abe nengcebo yabantu abangalungile futhi nokho abanazo izicupho noma izindlela noma amabhasi lapho imali ingangena khona. Akunjalo ngomthandazo wedwa, sidinga amaKristu asendaweni yemakethe.

 Ukubaluleka kwemali okungokomoya kusemhlabeni wonke ngoba imali kungumoya nokuthi senzani njengabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ukulandela ukuthi sikwazi ukukwazi ukusinda lo mthombo (okweshumi, izithelo zokuqala, izithelo). IBhayibheli lithi lapho unikeza okweshumi kwakho, kuvulwa amafasitela nalapho ufunda noma uhumusha amawindi egameni elithola ukuthi kulapho kuvela khona ukukhanya. Ukukhanya kwesambulo, ngakho-ke iBhayibheli lisho lapho unikeza okweshumi neminikelo yakho, imibono izogeleza. Imibono iba yitha lokugibela imali. Kwesinye isikhathi isizathu sokuthi awunayo yingoba awunayo inetha. Amakholwa amaningi athandazela imali kodwa nokho awanalutho olungasetshenziswa njengesicupho semali. 

Sidinga imali njengamakholwa ngoba imali ikhulisa ithonya lomuntu futhi ibanikeze izwi. Imali ikhangwa ngombono nesakhiwo. Igeleza ibheke engqalasizinda ebekwe phansi. Ibhayibheli lithi i-ECC 10:19 Idili lenzelwa ukuhleka, newayini lijabule, kepha imali iphendula zonke izinto. 

Imali iphendula zonke izinto futhi ngezinye izikhathi ezandleni zesiwula ziphendula imibuzo engalungile. Amaphekula abulale izinkulungwane zabantu ngoba babenemithombo yezezimali yokwenza lokho. Ngakho-ke imali yaphendula izidingo ababenayo ngamabhomu nezibhamu. Izwi lemali lihlukunyezwa futhi ezandleni ezingalungile liphendula umbuzo ongalungile.

Ibhayibheli lisho indalo ilinde ukubonakaliswa kwamadodana kaNkulunkulu. Imali ingenye yalezo zidalwa futhi iyakhala ngokusetshenziselwa ukubulala kanye nezidakamizwa. Imali iyakhala ngoba iyazi ezandleni zokholwayo kuzosetshenziselwa ukusindisa izimpilo. Imali iphendula zonke izinto. Ngakho-ke kufanele inikezwe izwi ezintweni zikaNkulunkulu.
