The greediness of man was certainly foreknown by God, so, He introduced a check against it. It's dumbfounding that a human being would dare God Himself, by openly stealing what rightly belongs to God and confidently stroll away as if God cannot do anything about it.  "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed Me. ... Ye are cursed with a curse ... even this whole nation". Mal. 3:8, 9.

Texts:- Zech. 5:1-4; Mal. 3:7 - 13;Josh.  6:17 - 29;  7:26 - 26.

Oppressive Stealing is that brand of stealing involving two unequal parties whereby the stronger party steals from the weaker. God foresaw everything and consequently provided adequate warnings against it. "I will come near to you to judgement, and I will be a swift witness against  those that oppress the hireling (labourer) in his wages..." Mal. 3:5.

Texts:- Zech. 5:1-4; Mal. 3:5 - 6;James 5:4 - 6

Are you struggling with the habit of Stealing due to Fear of meeting up with your financial obligations? The Almighty God - the Righteous Creator and Saviour of Humanity, by His infinite Wisdom, in Fair play, Equity and Justice had set out the Rule - forbidding anyone to deliberately force his way to dispossess another of his valuables. As deterrent, God, therefore, decreed a severe, consuming curse against Defaulters.

If you are sincerely interested in dropping this bad habit, you will have to pray to God for direction.

Stealing in whatever magnitude damages your relationship with God.

The RAPTURE event precedes The White Throne Judgment. It's a juncture of time when committed Christians hope to be received by Christ into the Heavenly Paradise. Missing it spells doom to one's everlasting destination.

As a Christian you should constantly examine yourself to gauge your readiness for the Rapture.

Many questions begging for answers:

1.  Have you received Jesus into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour?

2.  Have you been properly baptized in Water in His Name as stated in the Scripture?

3.  Do you accept the Apostles' Doctrines as the fundamentals of true Christian practice?

4.  The meek shall inherit the Earth. Are you meek? Do you fear God? Are you ever ready to help and support the WILL of God to stand at the expense of yours?

5.  Can you stand being a lone voice in the face of rejection and persecution by multitudes upholding conventional or popular false doctrines?

Will you turn down "Potiphar's wife” proposal; and can you demonstrate the mindset of Esther on the condition of "if I perish, I perish?"

If you earnestly desire to make the Rapture, then humbly pray for the Grace to embrace, uphold and live for the above Terms and Conditions.

God bless you as you stand up for Jesus - Amen!
