Memorise: Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal
truly are his delight. Proverbs 12:22
1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which
the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God
said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the
woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the
garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest
ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not
surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof,
then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and
that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise,
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with
her; and he did eat.
There are dangerous traps of the devil set to derail people from
inheriting their possessions in Christ Jesus. There are many people who have
been deceived and enslaved in falsehood because they were not sensitive. This
is why Jesus warned that if care is not taken, even the very elect will fall
for the deceits of the devil. By all standards, lies are the devil’s greatest
weapons with which he enslaves people into falsehood. A lie
is anything other than the absolute truth. The first man and woman to exist on
the earth were victims of lie when the devil intentionally mis- interpreted the
instructions that God gave them to keep. It is upon this that the Bible tells
us to be as wise as serpents, because the devil will always try to prove to the
children of God how ‘unreasonable’ the commandments of God are. You have to
make up your mind to obey God rather than question simple instructions that are
intended to make you happy and give you rest. The devil will also make efforts
to question the reputation of God. Some teachers have taught that one can
continue in sin since grace abounds. False teachers will tell you to live your
life as you deem it fit because there is liberty in Christ. These are all lies
of the devil; those who fall for them will always have woeful experiences. The
scripture tells us not only to hate lies but to keep the utmost distance from
it because those who engage in lies are abominable in the sight of God.
We need to be men and women who delight in the truths of God in all
matters. The problem with human beings is that we always do not appreciate the
truth when we find it. There are people who prefer to seek counsel from people
that will destroy them through wrong counsels. Some people know that there is
nothing biblical about their church, yet they remain in such places.
There are various wolves in sheep clothing parading themselves as true
prophets sent by God, but if you allow the Lord to open your eyes, you will see
clearly who they are. Many people have suffered untold damages in the hands of
the fake prophets; this is why you need to be watchful. If you are a liar, or
you are engaged in anything fraudulent, you need to stop it before the wrath of
God comes upon you. If you are living a life that misrepresents the Kingdom of God
Key
Point: You shall know the Truth and the Truth will set you free.
Bible in one year: Revelation 12-15, Psalms 94
