THURSDAY 22ND MARCH, 2018 MORNING PRAYER DEVOTION
SCRIPTURE READING:- MALACHI 3
TOPIC:- ARE YOU A THIEF?
TEXT:- JOHN 10:10
1. Thief in Greek language is “kleptes” which means robber; taking what is not theirs; stealing by fraud in secret.
Also called in Greek language as “lestes” which means one who deprives another of his property openly and by violence, Romans 13:6.
This does not denote whether the cause or reason for doing this is right or wrong. In the Old Testament, a thief must be punished by restitution, the proportions of which are noted in 2 Samuel 12:6.
If the thief could not pay the fine, he was to be sold to a Hebrew master till he could pay, Exodus 22:1-4.
2. In the New Testament, the uses “thief” indifferently for kleptes, and lestes, but being always renders the latter word by “robber”.
3. You can definitely become one if:
A. You don’t pay your Tithes or refusing to pay it in full or stealing from the one paid. See Malachi 3:8-12.
B. If you are coveting other people’s properties, wealth, woman. See Proverb 6:30-31.
C. If you are stealing from others, if you are killing other with mouth or pen, and if you are destroying others. See John 10:10.
