SP 12 B : Have I Done Something Wrong ?

 

At times you need to  try to recuperate  whether you have done something sinful or not , Do a recollection into the past , to remember any past sins, offenses , mistakes , misconduct, disrespect, theft, adultery , rape , abortion , hurting people , abusing people, maltreating someone , lied against someone, abandoned a pregnancy , etc. 

These past misdeeds can go along way to hinder your success in life, you have to amend your ways , by confession , restitution  and asking the offended party and or God to forgive you .The scriptures declares , ''If I regard iniquity in my heart,The Lord will not hear.'' Psalm 66:18 

Sins committed in the pass have the capacity to hinder you from making progress , because it is the seed sown into your future . Anytime you do something wrong , you should know that you are sowing a seed into your own future . Success seeds are the good deeds and the jobs that you do .However, these seeds can be corrupted by your evil deeds or jobs that you also do .

That is why you must make a conscious decision to make sure that you always do the right thing that will serve as a seed of success . The word of God says, “ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7  The following are among the many evil things that people do , that really can affect their future success : 

1. Lying

Whenever you lie in business matters or you are fond of speaking lies in your profession , career or office , you are sowing a seed that can affect your success venture in the near future . Lying to customers ,consumers, clients , labourers or  workers about products or services is a recipe for failure in your success pursuit . Lies are deceitful “blocks” that can cause your success “building” to be demolished unexpectedly .

2. Stealing 

Stealing is an art of taking something that belongs to someone without the consent of the person , especially when the person is desperately looking for that thing . Your theft can bring a curse into your future destiny , and your success can be truncated because of it .

This is possible because the victim might pronounce so much evil , out of desperation against you . And such evil words can become a curse that will affect your success somehow .

3. Extortion

Extorting people of their hard earned money is a very serious offence that has evil consequences . Anybody who chooses to be a perpetrator of such a diabolical act will be penalised by God . An extortionist is someone who has the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through the means of force or threats.The sin of extortion has a very bad effect on the extortionist , anyone one in the habit of doing so , is liable to be a failure at the end .If you are pursuing success try to desist from the act of extortion .

4. Fraud 

Fraud is another means of taking money or properties from people using tricks , deceit or lies . Fraudsters usually come promising goodies that are irresistible somehow making it difficult to escape their trap . Many wise and intelligent people have fallen prey to fraudulent activities .

If you defraud someone , never think that you can actually escape for real . This is because the victims of fraud usually pray and call upon God for vengeance . God will hold you accountable for such a misdeed , so in the long run it will affect your success venture very negatively . 

Fraudsters usually end up loosing all the things they got through the fraud , at times including their lives . 

5. Counterfeit products 

If you ever produce goods that are counterfeit , and bring them into the market for consumers to use , this is a very diabolical act . Those who bring in fake products into the market for public consumption are liable to face the consequence , because it will affect their success . Any business person  who wants to be successful must desist from such things as bringing in contraband goods into the market . 

6. Falsifying documents 

Falsifying documents to suit a purpose of fraud , theft or deceit is one of the evil things that can affect your success dreams . Anybody pursuing success must do honest things , any dishonest form of documentation such as adding zeros to figures , or digits to increase amounts on receipts in a dubious way, must be discouraged  .

7. Cheating business partners

Another category of people who are liable to fail in their pursuit of success are those who delight in cheating their business partners . These are people who deprive their fellow business counterparts of their share of the business proceeds or dividends . These people usually breach terms and conditions binding the business agreement with their counterparts .

They take delight in circumventing the conditions to suit their dubious schemes to their own advantage . When you cheat business partners , you certainly cannot succeed or get away with it , beware! 

8. Slandering the innocent

Slandering the innocent is the act of fabricating  lies against an innocent person so as to put that person in danger . At times a rival company can frame up an allegation against the product of a competitor , so that they can take over the market or gain the favour of the consumers .   

9. False claims 

False claims are very dangerous in the business world. Whenever a manufacturer claims that a particular product can perform a function that is not true , such lies can ruin the company and bring the company into disrepute . False claims on products have the evil repercussion of destroying the reputation and the credibility of the business firm .Businesses with false claims do not have any good future . . 

10. Not paying workers 

Another area of evil is when you are in the habit of not paying your workers . You are creating a room for a curse , or the punishment of God that will go a long way to affect your success dreams . For Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” and “The worker deserves his wages.” 1 Timothy 5:18
