No Gain in Greed
by Apostle (Prof) Johnson Suleman
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Psalm 119
TEXT: He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hated gifts shall live. Pro. 15 :27.
Greed is a terrible destroyer and people cheat others out of greed (Proverbs 15 :27). Child of God, you must not cheat others since Deuteronomy 25 :16; says if you want to live long in your God-given land, do not cheat others. In other words, cheating others is directly related to untimely deaths. Do not falsily your measuring tools as every act of deceit takes something off your life e.g measuring cups/bowls for sales.
Apart from reducing the life span of the cheat, greed brings trouble into the family of the cheat. Greed opens the door to devourers. Some employers of labor do everything possible to cheat on their workers. They will owe them salaries for months telling them there is no money, while they have money from the same business to take care of their personal needs and even extravagance. Even in Christendom, greed is rife.
If somebody is spending time and effort in serving you, you must give the fellow what is commensurate or else, you will undoing yourself. Another aspect of cheating which is also borne out of greed is true breaking. When two or more people enter into a business agreement, be it written or verbal, the profit must be shared as earlier agreed. If you take a kobo, cent or penny beyond your agreement, you will pay dearly for it.
You cannot escape God’s judgment on matter your garb of spirituality or position. Some people have closed the doors God opened to them out of greed. Repent today from any form of greed.
PRAYER: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, I repent of my greedy ways and I ask the Holy Spirit to take over my life.
