BE TRUTHFUL.

THURSDAY,JULY 3RD,2014.
*PASTOR CHRIS

Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds (Colossians 3:9).
Lying is one habit you ought to eschew because of its dangerous consequences. Truth always eludes liars, and the Word of God is truth
(John 17:17).

The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Truth (John 16:13), and He builds up a resistance against those who don’t celebrate the truth. The more they lie, the more He resists and avoids them.
A liar isn’t merely someone who told a lie; he is one who makes a habit of lying; he constructs lies. Revelation
22:15 says, “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and
murderers, and idolaters, and
whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”
Notice the Bible doesn’t say,
“whosoever telleth lies,” but
“whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”
The liar plans or strategizes his lies. He knows what he is doing is wrong but still goes ahead to do it, because he’s
self-centred; selfish.
A liar is also one who says something contrary to God’s Word. The Bible says, “…yea, let God be true, but every man
a liar...” (Romans 3:4). As long as a man’s confessions are inconsistent with God’s Word, then they’re lies. For example, the Word says in Romans 5:1, “Therefore being declared
righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (CKJB). If you’re born again, you must accept and walk in His
righteousness. If you keep saying, “no one can really be righteous before God,” that would be a lie, because it’s
inconsistent with what God has said.
1 Peter 3:10 tells us something
instructive: “For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they
speak no guile.” You can’t be speaking God’s Word, and at the same time lying. That’s a contradiction. The New King James Version renders the latter part of 1 Peter 3:10 thus: “…let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.” The man who deceives others never realizes his own deception. He suddenly “wakes up” and discovers life has passed him
by. He doesn’t deserve truth because he doesn’t tell the truth.
If you’re a man of truth, truth will promote and protect you. The Bible says, “…His truth shall be your shield and buckler” (Psalms 91:4). Form a
habit of speaking the truth always; this doesn’t just mean desisting from unwholesome communication, but speaking in consonance with the Word.
That’s a key principle on how to prosper and have good days.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, thank you for
teaching and instructing me through your Word how to live successfully.
Thank you for the Holy Spirit who leads and guides me to walk in truth. I’m lifted to a higher level of glory, where I
manifest your excellence and
righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Isaiah 44:25(CEV) I make liars of false prophets and fools of fortunetellers.I take human wisdom and turn it into nonsense.
