The Culture Of Corruption, Stealing And Bribery Is Very Un-christlike by cooltola(m): 8:50pm On Aug 04, 2021
You see when you go to Murtala Muhammad Airport and major Nigeria institution , it seems everyone in power or has influence is there for bribery and looting. With the very high numbers of Churches in Nigeria, it appears that sermons preached on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday, Saturday and everywhere is not being practiced generally. The message of the gospel cannot be avoid if you stay in certain areas of Nigeria but it appears no one is even listen to a particular verse of Thou Shalt not steal. From the numerous police checkpoints who force ordinary citizens to pay or the car get seized or so citizen to the looting at national level- What happened to Christian taking a stand against such practise
467. Not to steal money stealthily (Leviticus 19:11)
468. The court must implement punitive measures against the thief (Exodus 21:37)
469. Each individual must ensure that his scales and weights are accurate (Leviticus 19:36)
470. Not to commit injustice with scales and weights (Leviticus 19:35)
471. Not to possess inaccurate scales and weights even if they are not for use (Deuteronomy 25:13)
472. Not to move a boundary marker to steal someone's property (Deuteronomy 19:14)
473. Not to kidnap (Exodus 20:13)
474. Not to rob openly (Leviticus 19:13)
475. Not to withhold wages or fail to repay a debt (Leviticus 19:13)
476. Not to covet and scheme to acquire another's possession (Exodus 20:14)
477. Not to desire another's possession (Deuteronomy 5:18)
478. Return the robbed object or its value (Leviticus 5:23)
479. Not to ignore a lost object (Deuteronomy 22:3)
480. Return the lost object (Deuteronomy 22:1)
481. The court must implement laws against the one who assaults another or damages another's property (Exodus 21:cool

We cannot move forward as a nation if everyone expect this as a normal behavior. As Christian , we should not engaged and should encourage each other not to disobey God's Commandment.
If you love me , you will keep my commandment John 14:15
