RETURN REDUCED WAGES!
Memorise: Owe no man any thing, but to love one
another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the
law. Romans 13:8
Read: Genesis 31:36-42, Bible in one year: 1st Chronicles
7:14-9:34, Luke 15:1-24
God is a righteous God, and as a result, He hates all forms of
Fraud. According to Leviticus 19:13, it is a crime to delay
your workers salary for 24 hours. Do you promptly pay your
staff – whether church or secular? Another aspect of fraud is
manipulating your workers’ salaries. One Bible character
who was a victim of this was Jacob. All the years he worked
for Laban, he suffered a great deal. He was deceived,
cheated, made to bear the losses his boss should have
borne and earned an ever-decreasing wage. Laban was
extremely wicked. But do you know that some employers
today are like Laban? They take all the gains of their
businesses and push all the losses to their staff, irrespective
of what caused such losses. Also, while they plan to make
more profit and push their staff to work hard at it, they
hardly ever plan to increase their salaries. If anything, they
continue to come up with excuses as to why such salaries
should remain at the same level, or even be reduced.
Laban reduced Jacob’s wages 10 times. If you are happy to
cut down your staff salaries rather than increase them,
though your business is not diminishing, you are toying with
Hell. If your business cannot afford an employee anymore,
it is better to let such staff go after paying their entitlements.
Take note of the words of Romans 13:8:
“Owe no man any thing, but to love one another. For he
that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.”
Every cent, kobo or penny you fraudulent cut off the wages
of your staff amounts to a debt you owe them. Also, the fact
that you owe your staff shows your lack of love for them.
You cannot be cutting down the salary or wages of those
you love, while your business is doing fine. Do not be
surprised that some employers who claim to be believers in
Christ will die and get to the gate of Heaven, only to be told
that they cannot enter in because of the debt they owe their
staff. At that checkpoint, the entire amount owed will be
found on them. They will then say “I am sorry; I am now
prepared to pay the debts I owe my staff”, but the angles
will say “Sorry, it’s too late.” The money such persons
fraudulently stole from their staff will follow them to Hell-
fire and torment them there for eternity. For your own
good, go and restitute all the wages you have cut off without
just cause.
KEY POINT
Besides pride, another vice that God cannot stand in
people is breaking of agreements. If you make a
promise, you must keep it.
