Honesty is our only policy!

Proverbs 11.1
Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lord , But a just weight is His delight.

As children of the Most High God, pleasing Him is our daily objective. This verse tells us what God delights in and what He absolutely hates.

Its important for us to know that God hates dishonesty, cheating and deception. He is against such behaviours and conducts. No matter where you are and what you are doing, in order to have Gods blessing on our work, we must be honest and do all that we do with integrity and transparency. For with such things God is well pleased. Proverbs says one who trusts in riches shall fall. A person who loves and trusts money gets involved in dishonest practices. Timothy says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Jesus said we cannot serve both God and money. Judas was dishonest because He stole from the money that came into the ministry of Jesus. God hates and abhors dishonesty.

Every dishonest practice is a result of lack of trust in God. When a person doesn't trust God to provide for him and his family, he gets involved in cheating, deception and dishonest practices. The root of all sin is not trusting God.  Faithfulness is the key to promotion. When you are faithful in what God has given you, He will promote you and expand you. We don't need all these worldly practices which guarantees a failing future. Friend, you have the mighty Holy Spirit in you and He will help you live and walk honestly and with integrity. Trust God to meet all your financial needs rather than trusting yourself. Tithe, Sow and Help the poor. Put His kingdom first and you will never be broke another day in your life for the blessing of the Lord makes rich and He adds no sorrow to it. The best is yet to come!
