Stealing is not good for you

 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3)

A child of God does not need to steal from people in order to survive. From the scripture above, every child of God has the ability to create wealth and live fulfilled lives on this earth. Indeed, stealing is not good for you.

Several reasons may exist to explain why people steal in order to survive. No matter how sound these arguments may be, it does not justify stealing.

When you steal, you are indirectly downgrading yourself. You are telling the world that you are not capable of working with your hands to create wealth for yourself. You are telling the world that you are a non entity. You are telling the world that, all what the Bible is saying about your abilities in Christ is a lie.

With this attitude of stealing, you are poisoning your spirit, soul and body. With this poisoning, you may even shorten your life on this earth.

There are no benefits in stealing what belongs to other people. The so called ‘benefits’ will not last long. The victims of theft will continue to prosper and the reverse is what will happen to you because one will always reap what he or she sows (Galatians 6:7).

Many opportunities are out there looking for prepared vessels. Develop yourself and create wealth for yourself and people around you.
