SCRIPTURE:
Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.
MESSAGE.
Bribery is taking a gift be it monetary or material gift to pervert a case or defend wrong in the place of the right. This is making the just to lose their stand of getting justice in matter that is pertaining to their life.
This is one of the most terrible crimes against God and humanity, it’s one particular thing that God frown on and the person involving in this will never go unpunished.
Standing for what is totally against the joy or perverting the truth for a favour is a broad daylight robbery and is dangerous and the consequences is more terrible to the actual crime and standing case.
A king desire a plot of a land of a citizen, he approached the owner for tips to get it from him, but he refused, and the king was very sad because a particular person refuse to give up his birth-right to benefit the king appetite. The basis of the king sadness is traceable to the fact that someone denied him his birthright.
A reasonable person should know that implicative strategy shouldn’t be the option, not minding the gift, for coveting another man’s treasure can be very dangerous which will naturally lead the subject to demotion of character, loss of dignity, devaluation of trust etc.
The king covetousness led to the death of the victim, this is grievous and terrible crime against God because of wrong and unnecessary appetite.
The plot of killing the victim was carried out, perfectly layout for some individuals were bribed to speak against him and remind him of his blasphemy against God in the court with the elders of Isreal as the magistrate. This is one of the most terrible crimes in Isreal which constituted a verdict of his death.
The duo that took the bribe from the wife of the king were wipe off by the Lord, the family name was erase totally till date.
Taking bribe on any matter is a sin to God and crime to humanity.
This is one of the brilliant ideas of robbery that turn tasks that was introduced by the devil before this century which is having more audience in all generation like this, we find ourselves.
Someone lied against a man in the court of law and the court couldn’t do a proper investigation and the person was charged for treason because of this crime, this will make the person to spend the rest of his life in prison, but a lawyer rose up, representing criminal of dirty case in the court of law freely without any charges, he came across the case of the man with life sentence.
He was highly interested in the case and picked up the file and he involve personal investigator who discovered the man was framed by the witness in court.
The witness has collected bribe and has spent the money, this is after twenty years of the man in the prison.
The case was revisited, and witness was called upon, the defendant lawyer thrown at the witness the question that made him to lose his balance, the same judge in this criminal case was the same the magistrate of the twenty years ago, this is telling that he is familiar with the case.
The witness confessed after a long deliberation and questioning that he was paid to frame the man and the person that paid him is now dead.
The judge granted the man in questions a state apology with some monetary benefits because the court was faulted for lack of proper investigation before making a final verdict of the case.
The real criminal was given four thousand five hundred and seventy-six years to spend in the prison.
Bribe is satanic and not in any sense acceptable to God.
It’s an insult to still be finding this kind of thing in the court of God among the priests because of position and spiritual leadership aspiration.
