ILL-GOTTEN MONEY MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED IN THE HOUSE OF GOD EITHER AS TITHES OR AS OFFERING
THE CALLED & DIVINELY FAVORED:
HUMILITY AND HONESTY MUST BE OUR WATCHWORD IF WE ARE TO SUCCESSFULLY REPRESENT CHRIST AS AMBASSADORS.
EVERYTHING WE SAY OR DO MUST BE BASED ON INTEGRITY AS CHRIST HIMSELF IS KNOWN FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
IT IS SO SAD TO SEE SOME PROFESSED CHRISTIANS AND SOME MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH HIERARCHIES, AFTER MANY YEARS OF CHRISTIANITY ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY.
THEY ARE FAR FROM BEING IN CONFORMITY WITH THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST.
EPHESIANS, 4:-25 “THEREFORE, HAVING PUT AWAY THE FALSEHOOD, LET EACH ONE OF YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, FOR WE ARE MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER.”
IT IS SO SAD AND EMBARRASSING TO SEE SOME SELF-PROCLAIMED ANOINTED OF GOD AND THE HOLIEST OF THE HIGHEST ORDER BE DECEPTIVE BOTH IN THEIR WORDS AND DEEDS.
ONE NEEDS A THIRD PARTY AS A WITNESS WHILE DEALING WITH THEM BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY SAY IN PRIVATE
REMEMBER, SATAN ALWAYS TEMPTS MAN WITH THE SIN THAT HE IS CAPABLE OF COMMITTING AND WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMIT SUCH.
IT TAKES THE DIVINE INTERVENTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR SOMEONE IN CHRIST TO IGNORE SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY.THESSALONIANS, 4:-4-6 “THAT EACH ONE OF YOU KNOW HOW TO CONTROL HIS OWN BODY IN HOLINESS AND HONOR, NOT IN PASSION OF LUST LIKE THE GENTILES WHO DO NOT KNOW GOD.”
WE MUST ABSTAIN FROM ALL FORMS OF DISHONESTY AND UNGODLY WAYS OF LIVING AS AMBASSADORS OF CHRIST.
IN CONCLUSION: WE MUST NOT ALLOW ILL-GOTTEN MONEY INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD EITHER AS TITHES OR AS OFFERINGS. GOD WILL NOT REWARD DIS-HONESTY. [PROVERBS, 17:-13]
HONESTY BRINGS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS BRINGS GOD’S FAVOR AND GOD’S FAVOR BRINGS EVERLASTING BLESSINGS THAT ROLL FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.
