The new and sophisticated name for cheating is Business, for any business involves taking full advantage of the need of the other person, and making maximum profit, by extreme manipulation of the demand and supply theory, reduced labour, and lowest minimum wage that can never allow the one who manufactures the product, by keeping him or her as a permanent slave to the system, by issuing him status, gradation, name card, biometric attendance system, and the crucial form of servitude or thralldom continues unending. When the makers of unessential goods from diamond, platinum, gold, watches, perfumes, e-gadgets, including robots that removes another human being from the vicinity of family and friendship, determine and force people to buy, by constant display of advertising, by stupid models who are built over years to wear and pose so that we are reduced to the level of customer, by inducing us into the trap of consumerism, then, the producers of food—fish, rice, grains, vegetables, fruits can not decide their products’ rate, the corporate purchases everything, and increases the price several times and sells in the big shopping malls, and this is the simple possible definition of business. If it were to be explained the amount of additional manipulations done during purchase, packing and selling the industry will melt down very soon, and shortly that age will dawn where people exchange things for things, the primitive form of barter system. Solomon the wiseman declares that God hates these who use false measures and fraudulent balances: God hates cheating in the marketplace; he loves it when business is aboveboard. (Pro 11:1) Human being do have fun measuring people by their own limited, subjective, selfish, racist, casteist, nepotist yard-sticks. The father of eight children did not even include David for the parade before prophet Samuel, for the choice and anointing of the ruler of Israel, for he measures too light, and negligible in father’s and the brother’s sight: 4 Samuel did what the Lord said. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town trembled when they met him. They asked, “Do you come in peace?”

5 Samuel replied, “Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.

6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the Lord.”

7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “The Lord has not chosen this one either.” 9 Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said, “Nor has the Lord chosen this one.” 10 Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The Lord has not chosen these.” 11 So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?”

“There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.”

Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”

12 So he sent for him and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features.

Then the Lord said, “Rise and anoint him; this is the one.”

13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David. Samuel then went to Ramah. (1 Sam 16:4-13) These sins continues in the so-called holy institution, where caste determines who should be the next consecrated to rule the so-called church, so the so-called pious head makes sure all his caste men study abroad, so that at least one of them would succeed as the head of the so-called institution, his calculation did not miss, even though he may not be there to witness the scene, whereas another so-called head man, frustrated the anointed one by rejecting permission for missionary journeys, and washes his hand away in the innocent leaving his precious vocation, while he would immediately promote his family member, just got ordained, to the holy city, so that the law of nepotism may some day win, as the world is getting fully rotten, including the divine institutions. May God give pardon to both business class laymen for perpetuating false scale and the holy men and their institution for measuring men with evil yardsticks. Let God give us the grace to be sincere and humble in the eyes of Him, that the mercy of His wipe away the sins of business against the poor, powerless and food-producers.

Abba, Thank You for helping us to correct ourselves. Let Your Spirit make us truly repent and make peace with the victims of injustice, In Jesus’ Most Powerful Name, Amen.
