SCRIPTURE: Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. Leviticus 19:29
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you make money as proceeds of iniquity or iniquitous products, it is evil money in the sight of God.
The Scripture makes it clear that the love of money is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10). This means that the love of money is connected to the perpetration of evil.
One major example of evil money is the proceeds of iniquity or iniquitous products.
When you make money as proceeds of iniquity or iniquitous products, it is evil money in the sight of God. For instance, when someone makes money out of prostitution, that money is called evil money.
Leviticus 19:29 says:
Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness
Prostitution simply means making a living out of immoral affairs – whether it involves sleeping with one man who is responsible for all the needs of the prostitute or with different men in a brothel or night clubs.
Prostitution does not only refer to a situation where a young lady or woman decides to hire a room in a brothel where wayward men could come to have immoral affairs with her; it also involves a situation where a lady lives outside the four walls of a brothel in a normal residence but a man to whom she is not married comes to have intimacy with her in exchange for paying her bills or sustaining her financially. The man in question is responsible for the lady’s house rent, living expenses, and other relevant bills. This is what I call retail prostitution.
The wholesale prostitution is when a room is hired in a brothel and different men go there to patronize the prostitute. Wholesale prostitution involves a lady sleeping with different men on a commercial basis. The baseline is that the person does that to survive. That is to say if she does not sleep with men, she cannot survive. She sells her body to get money.
Beloved, any money that someone gets out of this kind of practice is evil money; it is unrighteous money.
REMEMBER THIS: When you make money as proceeds of iniquity or iniquitous products, it is evil money in the sight of God.
