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.

Besides
pride, another vice that God cannot stand in people is breaking of agreements.
If you make a promise, you must keep it.
