Robbing from the Temple of God

Matthew 21:12-17 KJV (King James Version)

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, and said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.

The Lord Jesus wants us to be very wise about our money. If robbery of the Temple of God occurred in the times of Jesus, it is highly likely that we can be seeing this today. It is important that we are not selling and buying in the Temple, this angers the Lord very much.

It is not just about donating our finances either but it is about where our finances are going and what we are doing with it. Our finances can either be going to a product for selfish gain or they can either be going to healing the blind and the lame.

Let us pray and ask the Lord for guidance and conviction through the Holy Spirit to be able to walk in obedience to God’s will.

Let us ask ourselves -
