Have you ever stolen something given or belongs to another soul…yes or no?
By stealing another’s blessing or possession, you are making yourself in your own imaginations image. You are taking that which God has given to another and this is also coveting…wanting what God has not given you. So when you steal you are committing two sins. Where coveting is the heart or the beginning of stealing…you want what is not yours…and stealing is the action of taking it…either it be by power…or circumstance…or just simply taking it with your hands. Stealing is wrong and will send you to hell. Coveting is wrong and will send you to hell. It takes both to steal or do you lie…because you covet…so you can trick someone into giving and thus have broken 3 commandments in order to steal that which you desire? Do you say false statements in order to obtain…this too is a form of coveting and thus stealing. Any sin will send you to hell…telling false statements…through wanting what they have…wanting what they have…or even the act of stealing will send you to hell. May all that you have stolen be made useless or be restored to one who you stole it from…perhaps ask for mercy so you will be saved…and you both be blessed…one for forgiving and one for repenting.
It is written…
…Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need...Ephesians 4:28.
…Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law...Romans 13:8-10.
If what they have is then in a positive manner…and you desire to be like Jesus then why not ask Jesus to be like Him. Did not Jesus say as
It is written…
…Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone; or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him...Matthew 7:7-11.
Prayer
Father please create us whatever it is we need so we will not covet after the ungodly and so we will not have to steal in order to eat or to obtain the necessities of life…You promise enough and we ask for enough…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
