Net of evil men

Net of evil men

The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit (Pro.12:12).

The wicked uses the net of evil men to trap and oppress the innocent people. The net is deceit, fraud or manipulation. Evil men are known for all these bad deeds. If a righteous person indulges in such bad deeds, then he or she becomes wicked in God's sight.

But the root of the righteous yields fruit. A righteous person definitely yields fruit desired by others. The life of the righteous produces fruit to be enjoyed by others. Today, we are deceived by the messages of the wicked but are blessed by the very life of the righteous. Life of a messenger is more important than his or her message. We cannot expect fruits when we use deceitful means in our ministry to God. We should not have any net to trap gullible people who come to our meetings. Such a net to entangle them in our ministries even by way of donations is evil in the sight of God. God calls such a net the net of evil men. We become evil just because of the net.
