Theft is a particular problem here in Clarksdale. I have had five bicycles, an electric chain saw, a tree trimmer, and other small garden tools stolen.Nationally on a scale of one (lowest) to ten (highest) the crime rate nationwide is on average a three.
Here in our city the crime rate is two times higher than the national average among these crimes {crimes against property (theft, vandalism, and breaking and entering)}. I don’t mean to complain or be negative about our city I am just stating the facts.
The words for a thief appear approximately forty-eight times in the bible. Proverbs 29:24 (KJV) says:
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
This article is not meant to offend but God had placed it on my heart a while back and I just can’t put it off any longer. You see sometimes truth hurts and while I was studying some verses in Malachi he impressed upon me to write this article.
You see Malachi 3:8-10 says:
8 “Will a man rob God?
Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
‘In what way have we robbed You?’
In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse,
For you have robbed Me………….,
8 “Will a man rob God?
Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
‘In what way have we robbed You?’
In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse,
For you have robbed Me………….,
I pray you don’t have a problem with theft of any type. God tells us to
try Him in tithes and offerings and He will:
10……………….. pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
May you receive blessing immensely.
