America is a capitalist society. A society which put materialism above human welfare. It is a society that teaches you having money is the key to freedom and happiness. " Living the American dreams." " Keeping up with John's." Capitalism promises freedom but in the end delivers slavery because material things cannot satisfy the human soul.
Capitalism is just another form of slavery to ensnare the masses. In a capitalist system, the worker is promised liberty if he can only work hard enough, to make a lot of money. But what the worker doesn't understand is the harder you work, the more you get promoted, the more work load your employer put on you, the less time you have for God, family and yourself and the morw money the system makes at your expense. Your boss become richer while your mental health and even physical health become poorer.
The system enslaves you by turning you into a consumer. As you get your paycheck, you run the buy a new car 🚗, run to get the latest I phone 📲, buy the latest flat screen TV, move into a bigger house 🏡 and before you know your income cannot sustain your lifestyle and now you need a credit card just to make end meets. Now you need a second job just to stay financially afloat. You are a slave to the system. In chasing after the latest shiny object the system put before you, you have sold yourself into financial slavery l. Now you have to work more hours just to make enough money so you don't lose your home.
The modern work place is just a little better than " chattel slavery. " Your employee pay you enough just to survive,but never enough so you can become financially free. While everything around you increases in price, food, gas , home prices etc.. your wages remain stagnant, remains the same. While your employer makes millions in profits, they give you a .50 cent raise and you find yourself stressed out, working overtime, neglecting your family just to " support them."
Friends, the system is designed to enslave you, not to free you. It promises you financial freedom while at the same time create a situation in which if you are not prudent you become more than a slave. Back then slaves had guaranteed shelter and food. But now if you lose your job, where will you live ? How will you eat ? Fear keeps you working jobs you hate, with the wages being the whip that keep you in line . And the system keeping you in slavery by turning you into a consumer, so as soon as you get paid, you go buy things you don't need and bring your money right back to the rich.
So what is the way to freedom 🤔? The way to freedom is to not give money the value the system wants you to give it. The way to freedom is to understand that money is just a means of exchange but not something that give value to your life. You need money to get certain things in life, but having money is not the reason to live. How do you become free? You become free by being financially disciplined, don't live above your means. Don't buy things you don't need, don't increase your expenses just because you get a new raise, don't spend money you don't have. Live below your means, save money for a rainy day. Don't become a slave of consumerism.
Don't fall into the trap of I need more money all the time, become financially literate, invest your money. Ask the banks for different financial options, be wise in how you use your money, pay your tithes and offering and God will bless you. And finally you become free from the system by putting your trust in God and not the system. Knowing that it is God who truly provides for you, knowing that even if you were to lose this job, I will not worry because God who is my loving Father will always take care of me. Be fres from modern wage slavery, put your trust in God and be good financial stewards.
