TOPIC: NEW CREATION TOOL: Avoid Lies (3)

One Year Bible Reading: 
Psalms 23 - 25, Acts 27: 27 - 44.

MEMORY VERSE:
2 Corinthians 5:17
17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

BIBLE READING:
Ephesians 4:25
"25. So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body."

Thinking Point:
As small as every lie is, it has its consequences. Liars imitate the devil.

I know the first question in your mind is, "is it possible not to lie? Can one do without telling lies?" Either we love to hear this or not, lying is a sin as long as God is not interested in it. Most times we think lies make us smarter not knowing we just implicated ourselves against the future. Yes, lies save you from immediate issues but stains your integrity. The secret not to lie is not to start telling lies because you will need another lie to cover the first lie which then becomes complex and before you know it, you will be tagged as not an honest person. 

Have we come across this verse of the Bible, Revelation 21:8.
"8. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and ALL LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

Lies may look so small but they have the power to send one to eternal hell. If I may ask, what destroyed Ananias and sapphire? That was a lie, Acts 5. A father and mother perish one day by changing the price of their properties. When we lie to our spouse, our colleagues, parents or friends we think it brings us relief at that month but it has a long standing result waiting ahead. Apostle Paul encourages us to speak the truth to one another, how? By not indulging in what will make us speak lies to one another. By saying the truth without diluting it. Being frank and straight forward, by doing so we can have a good and clear conscience anywhere we stand to speak. Is it possible not to tell lies in a day? Yes, it's possible. When you say the wrong thing just try and correct yourself instantly and say it as it is. In the first place, when we speak the truth are we going to be beaten? If yes, is it not better to be beaten than feeling guilty for the rest of the day or week or even for a month? Let's learn to speak the truth and put the devil to shame before he puts us to shame. Speak the truth to your neighbours, your spouse, your children, colleagues and parents and you will feel peace in your mind and you will be able to go to God with a clean conscience without guilt. May the Lord give us the boldness to speak the truth always in Jesus name, Amen.

Good morning, and God bless you.

Why Are You Afraid?

" Why Are You Afraid?" Bible Passage: Mark 4:36-40. "36. they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed)." "37. But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water." "38. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” "39. When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm." "40. Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Opposition After Victory  When Jesus was resting in the boat comfortably after His crusade with different signs and wonders. The devil saw that he lost many battles, many of his captives were delivered and set free from their shackles. He was enraged at Jesus. The reason for th...

HOW DO YOU TREAT YOUR PEOPLE?

HOW DO YOU TREAT YOUR PEOPLE?  Who are My people? My people start with my immediate Family, my extended family, my relatives, the folds of believers, my tribe, friends, colleagues and then my Nation. How far can you go to protect your people; Your family, relatives, home and your nation? How committed are you to your people? Hope you are not selfish about your people for greed of money, position, title and wealth? Using Esther As Our Case Study For This Article "6. For how can I endure to see MY PEOPLE AND MY FAMILY slaughtered and destroyed?” Who was Esther? She was a slave and an orphan brought up by Mordecai in Babylon. She was pretty, well trained and loyal to her uncle. Her humble and trained life helped her take over the throne of Vashti. Pride caused the dethroning of the Queen before Esther. Queen Esther was living in immunity as a Queen but used her position to help her people by saving them from nationwide destruction. Esther was a woman who made history til...
