Matthew 21:13 ( And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves)

The call of God is for repentance and reconciliation with Him, which, after eternal life, shall be given automatically. That is the reason Jesus said, ‘We should seek first the kingdom of God and God’s righteousness, which after all other things shall be added.’

Lazarus died while begging, yet he was saved even though he lived a life of poverty, his soul was not tainted by the corruption of the world. Whether he died poor, one thing is certain, his soul is secure under the mighty hand of, God which death has no power over.

Unlike the rich man who enjoyed all what is necessary for a short period, and later lost his eternity for a short pleasure.

Everything man needs is packaged in salvation, if you seek any other thing first apart from the salvation of your soul, you are part of those who buy and sell in the kingdom and you shall be cast out of the temple with a cord.

Whether you make heaven like Lazarus or you enter heaven like David or Abraham, it depends on God, why will you question his sovereignty?

If they place you in the welfare department of a church organisation and you use the avenue to syphon money into your pocket, you are a thief who has no part in the heritage of the kingdom, all thieves will have their portion in the lake of fire, remember Judas Iscariot, who focus on what to gain by following Jesus not what he’ll lose if he follow him.

If you can’t contribute your quota to the well-being of the church don’t steal from it, many pastors and church leaders are in hell because of this.

God says, ask you shall be given, seek, and you shall find, knock, and the door shall be open to you” but he gives whatever you ask in his Will.

If you post on social media for likes and follows, that will in turn put money into your pocket, you are in it for financial gain, you’re part of those who buy and sell in the kingdom, because you will never preach what they need to hear, but what they want to hear.

How many souls accepted the teachings of Jesus Christ, he preached and they stoned him or wanted to cast him into the ditch, why will your own be different?

Jesus the world celebrates is not the one of calvary, the greatest achievement in God’s kingdom is that your names is written in the book of life, Jesus said, don’t rejoice because of demons are bowing for you, don’t rejoice because you have money or financial breakthrough, don’t rejoice because of cars or mansion God built for you or you built for yourself, servants also got what the sons of the house was not able to achieved, the only thing that’ll make the difference is that son rejoice is the salvation of his soul, not because of materials, its only because his name is written in the book of life.

When wealth increases, don’t put your mind to it.

Jesus also called the place of buying and selling, the place of spiritual and physical transactions a den of robbers, meaning that that’s where spiritual and physical robbers gather to syphon from men’s pockets and steal from God.

They use fake revelation to syphon money from pockets, they used divination to see into people’s lives and devour widows’ houses, and render fatherless hopeless.

They know the power in Jesus name and how people depend on it for salvation of their souls and deliverance from the problems inflicted by the devil, so they used the name deceitfully to scam the ignorant.

People run away from the world because of challenges associated with sin, only to encounter other problems in the house of God, devil strategically places them there for those who are seeking help from their makers to disorganise their lives to the extent of turning their back on God and coming back to seek his assistance.

Only those who are held by the right hand of God and upheld with his mercy that wont fall victim to the enemy’s devices.

Prayer: Father lord, uphold me with your right hand of power, don’t let me fall into the antics of my enemy, in Jesus name amen.
