Biblical Counsel on Acquiring Real Estate. Part [11] 02/20/2026 (Morning thought)

1st Kings 21:8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.

In the Bible, God forbids His people to use fear and intimidation tactics to deprive peoples or nations of their real estate except in those instances when God as the rightful owner of all real estate directed them to go and take possession. It's important for us to see the end of this movie, as Jezebel goes to work using her clandestine ways and means to procure by force, the real estate that does not belong to her.

She is willing to kill for real estate, and as she does so, the acolytes and altar boys who are unprincipled yes men, won’t say a single word in remonstrance. A Yes Man is one of the most dangerous people on our planet, for they will stop at nothing, they would sacrifice scruples, principles, and conscience on the altar of curry favor with persons in authority, or with those whom they seek favors from.

If they are willing to kill for real estate, if they do not remonstrate against her proposals, then they would be just as guilty as her for carrying out her diabolical plan. In fact, God views the perpetrators, and aiders and abettors as being equally guilty where crimes of covetousness, including real estate, are fostered and committed.

1st Kings 21:9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Biblical Counsel on Acquiring Real Estate. Part [10] 02/20/2026 (Evening thought)

Deuteronomy 2:4 And command thou the people, saying, You are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take you good heed unto yourselves therefore.

In other words, a person’s deed to their property would not be respected, and Ahab would have free reign to totally disregard the rights of others in his quest for real estate. Therefore, if Jezebel threatens the use of force in acquiring Naboth’s real estate, other estate holders would obviously become nervous, and very ticked off, because it will be just a matter of time, before their real estate would be on the menu.

Actions like this on the part of the king would only produce anger, hatred, and animosity because no one will feel secure in their property. This leads us to the third biblical counsel on acquiring real estate: [3] If the owners say it is not for sale, do not try to take it by force, especially if they might be afraid of you. In other words, do not use intimidation, fear or bullying to acquire real estate, because it is strictly forbidden in the Bible.

Deuteronomy 2:5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession. 9 And the Lord said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.

Deuteronomy 2:19 And when thou come nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
