claiming an office item was lost for you to turn it to personal use and collect another one for official purpose is an act of theft.

It is annoying to discover that employees who should have the interest of the company at heart and do everything to protect it from losses are the ones stealing consumable items from the organization.

overbilling customers through a payment system is another way of stealing.

Hiking the selling price of commodities or overcharging for services rendered is a form of stealing.

When someone begins to feel deprived financially. He will steal if the opportunity comes. When anyone begins to think that what they should own is what others have in their possession. When anyone begins to think it's their right to be in a state of affluence that others are, then they begin to open the door of their heart to the evil of theft.

Sometimes most people who assume they are making money the right way are stealing from others but because they are used to the style they assume that's a legitimate way of making money.

Don't make bogus vows in times of distress.

Vows are good but we need to be careful of how we apply them in prayer, especially in times of distress.

Many are struggling financially today because of their inability to redeem the vow that they have made to God or a man who had been of help to them in the season of their trials.

Many today pay tax, pay landlords, pay for electricity, pay food, pay toll, pay internet, and lots more but refuse to give God what He deserves.
