Today’s Reading:
Acts 8:9-25
When a person pays for a product twice, unknown to Him that the collection was charged intentionally by the Company or its agent or representative, that is a Criminal offence from the point of view as a man. Once a person that bought the product gets to know, he or she is likely to ask for a refund and possibly pursue a criminal charge against the Company. It would not be too much to say that those who have turned the means of grace and gift of God to merchandise to enrich themselves ARE CRIMINALS. Jesus, who owns the business and has paid for all, will definitely ask them to make a refund one day. The Word of the Lord requires that if you catch a thief, he or she should be made to pay seven times the cost or the number of what has been stolen.
Brethren, it is high time we took the course of the old religion and preach the truth of the gospel without materialism or intention to make gain of the blessings and graces that God gave to us freely. The finished work of Jesus on the cross paid for it all. Isaiah 53:4 - 5 says “Surely He has borne our grief and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our Transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities, The Chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed”.
If you have been a victim of such unholy merchandise, like the woman with the issue of blood that was suffered a lot in the hands of the physician and ended up in bankruptcy, you can touch the hem of His cloth and you will be healed without any cost of money. It is not for Sale.
