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.
