COVETOUSNESS: Guard Your Heart!

Eye Onde Prize

Covetousness

Greed

And

Malicious Intent!

The Big Guns!

The Warriors Who For A Nickel

Are Willing To Have Their Desires Bent!

Sorry To Tell You

But

I Believe It Is In Your Best Interest To Know

That When Your Eyes Are Looking Down

And

Around

Your Heart For Things Abundant

Will Always, Always, Grow 
In The Strange Manner Called Profound!

It Always Starts In The Heart:

Eye Onde Prize Is The Upstart!

When He Is In Charge

You May Be Sure That Greed ... For Ungodly Gain

Will Always Follow

And

If Greed ... For Ungodly Gain ... Is Let Loose

You Can Rest Assured That

Monsieur Le Covetousness

He Who Likes To Ooh, La La

Is

Going To Go To Bat

To Get That Which He has No Right To Want 
To Place In His Cavernous Back-Pack!

Wanting Is Good ... Within The Proper Channels!

Coveting Good Things Is Good

For That Is How We Climb Up Higher

But

When Your Wanting Steps Outside The Boundaries Marked

And

You Invite That Heathen ... Malicious Intent

To Do A Do In The Dark

You Have Overstepped The Mark

And

You Are In Danger Of Getting Upon Your Character

The Mark Of The Devil

Him Who Did And Does His Dirty Deeds

Under Cover Of Dark ... ness!

To This Day

He Has Not Yet His Perfidy Confessed

And

He Believes That All His Machinations

Are Truly A Stellar Success!

People,

The Self-Delusion Is Real!

Malicious Intent Is A Notorious Gully-Boar

Who Believes With All His Being That

His Forays With Speed Into Greed

Are His By Right

Because

Of The Little Thing Called I-Need
Aka I-Want!

You Own It: He Wants It!

You Won't Surrender It: He Will Take It Away!

He Gives You A Choice:

Give Me ... Willingly

Or I Will Take it Forcefully

Or

If It Is Your Desire To Aggressively Protest

He Is Willing To Snuff Out Your Life

Sacrosanct In The Eyes Of The Lord

But 

A Thing Of Nought

In The Eyes Of His Boss-Man
Satan, The God-Fraud!

Ungodly Actions Have Consequences! 

Need An Example!?!

Prophet Balaam Wanted To Curse Israel 
To Get Himself King Balak's Coins!
The Lord God Almighty Told The Greedy Prophet "No!"
Ungodly Covetousness Told The Prophet "Get!" 
Ungodly Covetousness Won
And Anon

Balaam Ended Up Showing Balak

How To Make Israel Sin 

And

To Incur The Wrath Of The Living God!

Thousands In Israel Died

And

As To Be Expected

Greedy, Covetousness-Laden, Balaam 
Also Paid With His Life:

By His Receipt Of The King's Coins

His Covetous Life Was Not Extended!
Sin Really Makes Man Blind!

King Ahab Was A Petulant Child When Crossed!

He Wanted Naboth's Vineyard

And

The "No!" Answer Made His Cross!

He Went Off His Food!

He Sulked Like A Toddler

And

His Wife Being A Heathen

Thought Nothing Of Having An Innocent Man Murdered!

Ahab Got Naboth's Vineyard By Fraud
And
Dogs Licked Up King Ahab's Blood

And

Dogs Ate Queen Jezebel, His Viciously Cruel Wife!
Covetousness Is A Butcher Knife! 

King David Knew Better

But

His Eyes Made Him Believe That

The More Beautiful Bathsheba Was Much Better For Him

And

Covetousness Turned To Adultery
And

Adultery Turned To The Murder Of A Best Friend
And

Death Was Visited Upon The Innocent Child
His Ill-Conceived Seed! 

The Harvest Of Known Sin

And

Blood Never Left King David's Household

For As Long As He Did Live!

He Loved The Lord!

He Repented Of His Sin!

He Was Forgiven Of His Sin

But

That Did Not Mean That

The Grapes Of Wrath That He Had Planted

Were Not Going To Be Harvested!

Four Of His Sons Died ... Three Cruelly:

Bathsheba's First Born Son ... Unnamed:
The Lord Took Him! 

Amnon ... Covetousness, Lust, Greed, Gone Wild:
Raped His Sister

And His Brother, Absalom, Had Him Murdered! 

Absalom ... Who Coveted King David's Throne:

Slept With His Father's Concubines

Started Civil War

And Was Executed By General Joab

And

Adonijah ... Who Coveted King Solomon's Throne ... Twice

Thought To Get The Throne ... The Second Time

By Asking His Brother For His Father's Widow
His Body-Warmer, Virgin-Wife, Abishag!

King Solomon Had Him Executed!
Deceit's Profits Are A Demonic Device!

Judas Iscariot Coveted Power

And

Actually Thought He Could Circumvent

The Sovereign Will Of The Eternal Holy God!

He Made A Pact With Death

Made A Deal With Priestly Powers

Sold Gold To Buy Silver

And

Spilt His Guts Over A Roman Road
For All Of His Troubles!

Judas Received What He Would Never Spend

And

He Shall Never Ascend The Heights Of Him

Whom He Believed He Could Manipulate

And

Who For 30 Silver Pieces

To Wicked Men He Sold!

Sin Is Called Sin For A Reason!

Sin Only Profits For A Season!

The Reasons For The Season

Is Called By Many ... Legion

But

That Legion Is The Legion Of Doom

Which Shall Never Reign

But

Is Eternally Condemned

And

Consumed!

Covetousness Starts In The Heart!

Unchecked

Covetousness Will Never Depart

Until It Has Sliced, Diced And Spliced

And

Delivered Up Its Host

Unto The Damned One

Who Shall Soon Be As The Dust Of
Burnt, Burnt, Toast!

Covetousness Does Not Profit

And

None Who Indulge In This Dastardly Disease

Shall Ever Get To Sit In Heaven

Or

Bow Before The King Of Love

In Perfect Peace!

Don't Give In To This Known Gross Sin, Please!
