Beloved, for a proper understanding of this important sermon, it has become necessary that we define the following words:

1. COVETOUSNESS
2. GREED

WHAT IS COVETOUSNESS?

COVETOUSNESS: Can be simply defined as, a strong desire to have that which belongs to another. e.g., wealth or possession.

GREED:

The Cambridge English dictionary defined Greed as a very strong wish to continuously get more of some things.

Dearly Beloved, this Sermon is designed to draw the attention of Brethren to the danger of the SIN of covetousness that can lead millions to destruction if not Repented from it.

This Sermon is timely to deliver those who may not know the seriousness of covetousness as a SIN. Beloved, are you involved in this act? The time to act is now.
