A lying tongue hateth those that are affiliated by it; And a flattering mouth worketh
ruin. PROVERBS 26 : 28.
READ : EPHESIANS 4 : 22 - 25 :
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt
according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members
one of another.
MESSAGE :
Today, we are revisiting a previous discussion on a deadly sin that has been trivialized in modern
times. Indeed, lying is not a Christian virtue; on the contrary, one of the fruits of righteousness is
the hatred of lies. Today, the world has classified lies. Some are called heavy lies, some feather
weight lies, some are white lies, some are green lies, some are business lies, some are ministerial lies; some are lies that cannot hurt a fly, while some are dangerous and implicating lies. No matter how men, by their own opinions, choose to classify lies, deciding what a lie is, is not in the
purview of men but of God; hence such classifications hold no water. If you are a lover of
lies, you are far from being righteous. If you tell lies at all, you are miles from being righteous. Do
you know that if you keep away from sin and the only crime found in you after death is a lie, it will keep you from entering through the pearly gates? Revelations 21 : 8 says that all categories of liars
will be found in the lake of fire, not in Heaven : “And there shall in no wise enter into it anything
that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are
written in the lamb’s book of life.” Nothing can ever take anyone in the above
categories into Heaven. If you are a lying leader, you are simply on your way to hell. A righteous
fellow cannot stand lies because he or she is a chip off the old block; a child of truth whose father is the Truth ( Revelation 19 : 11 - 16 ), in John 8 : 44, Jesus says that the devil is a liar
and the father of all liars. If you are a General Overseer or superintendent, a senior pastor or believer and you tell lies, your father is the devil. A day is coming when everybody will go back to
their father. After death, the devil will stand in the way to claim his own. He will ask some popular
leaders and believers; “Where are you going?” they will reply: “I am going to Heaven of course”. The devil will laugh them to scorn. “Did you not read that all liars will go to hell in Revelations
21 : 8 ? You are my child, come with me to the lake of fire, our eternal abode”. Make restitution
on the lies you have told. Have you offered some people some benefits in a business transaction and you received the payment, but for one reason or the other, you did not give them what you
promised? Go and return their money or else that lie and deceit will not allow you into Heaven.
ACTION POINT : Father, please deliver me from
any sin that can prevent me from entering into
Heaven.
