READ: Zechariah 5:1-4
“I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief…“ – Zechariah 5:4
People who do not pay tithes are cursed with the curse that comes on thieves.
The Bible shows us two interesting curses that relate to people who steal. One is a general curse that God has declared on thieves in general and the other is a specific curse for stealing from God Himself.
Did you know that there is no need to curse someone who steals from you because there is a general curse on anyone who steals? A thief is already an accursed person! The prophet Zechariah declared the curse that will follow thieves.
In this curse, the Lord declares that He will enter the house of the thief and consume everything including the timber and the stones. After this curse comes to pass, the thief will be left with nothing, not even a place to live! The thief may steal millions but this curse will turn the millions into “smoke”. The thief will not be able to use the things he has stolen and he will never truly enjoy them. Imagine what this kind of curse would do to a non-tither. He will never benefit from all the tithes he stole from God.
