Memory Verse: “Do not defraud or rob your neighbor. “Do not make your hired workers wait until the next day to receive their pay. Leviticus 19:13 (NLT)
It is the desire of God that you’re blessed in all ramifications – in your spirit, soul and body – including your finances. I celebrate God’s grace upon God’s servant, Dr Paul Enenche. Psalms 35:27b (KJV) says, “Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.” God intends to expand His Kingdom through kingdom wealth.
There is a righteous way of making money. Evil money or making money by dubious means, on the other hand, is not the Will of God for His children. One example of evil money is the proceeds of stealing and cheating. That is, the proceeds of theft.
Furthermore, this involves taking what is not yours. If someone is not watching over his property and you decide to take it secretly; that is stealing. If someone mistakenly overpays you for a transaction and you refuse to return the excess payment; that is called stealing. The person who overpaid you might have made a mistake, but you did not make any mistake.
You may think that it is favour, but it is not. It is pure theft and stealing. When you take money that is not yours, that money is evil money. Anything in your possession that God did not give you or you did not earn by labour or by favour does not add to you; rather, it subtracts from you.
Cheating could arise from business or contract agreements. Entering into a business agreement with people and refusing to honour it is cheating. If, for instance, you agreed on a business deal with someone that after execution, the profit would be shared at the ratio of 70:30, but at the end of the deal, you refused to give the other person his agreed 30% and gave him only 5% instead; the 25% you kept back is stealing, it is evil money.
The extra money you collected from him to add to yours will ruin your fortune and entire life. Beware! Righteousness exalts a nation, sin is a reproach. Remember this: When you take money that is not yours, that money is evil money.
