GREEDINESS IN THE LAND

'Job 24: Some remove landmarks; they seize flocks violently...They push the needy off the road, all the poor of the land are forced to hide.'

The excessive desire to never be poor in life, live in opulence, save enough for the children and grand children etc have push many to do the unimaginable. The story is the same from Darfur, to Nigeria and most countries of the world especially in Africa. The poor bears the brunt of the excesses of the rich and criminally minded individuals and governments allover the world.

Richer governments and individuals grab lands or properties (especially when it contains something they considered valuable) that's not theirs and would kill the people if they dire ask questions or challenge them. They would lie, kill or destroy any one or anything that stands in the way of their greediness. Covetousness is in their DNA. Every thing good that they sited, they must have, and if they cannot afford it, they would steal or kill to get it.

Isaiah 56:11 has this to say concerning those that are greedy; 'Yes, they are all greedy dogs which never have enough. And they are shepherds who cannot understand; they all look to their own way, every one for his own gain...' In Isaiah above, the bible liking greedy men to dogs and shepherds without knowledge understanding of his roles. Why do you want everything for yourself and family? Why steal when your heavenly father told you not to worry about tomorrow? You just need to ask Him. 

Moneys meant for road constructions, provision of health care facilities and other infrastructural developments are been stolen in Africa by few men, just to satisfy their greed, while their accomplices in the churches collects 10% bribes and call it tithes. God does not accept stolen money as tithes and paying 10% out of the stolen money to a church does not in any save anyone from the coming wrath of God. 

Repent today, and like zacchaeus the tax collector, return that which you have stolen. Your heavenly Father is able to provide all your needs according to His riches in glory.
