TOPIC: FREEDOM FROM LYING SPIRIT
TEXT: PROVERBS 6:16-19
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 18TH
Key verse: John 8:44 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
A lie is a statement, report or an action purposely presented with the intention to deceive somebody or to exonerate oneself or someone else from blame, or to gain some benefits. Also, a promise made without the intention of fulfilling it, is a lie. There are many reasons that make people to tell lies. Here are some of them: To deceive others, to get rich, to hide sin, to promote oneself, for pride, to give lying testimonies and to cause division and strife.
There are consequences of lying. Whatever a man sows he will also reap (Galatians 6:7-8). These include death – Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:3-5) and God`s divine judgment (1 Kings 22:29-35). Lying is an abomination to God (Provervs12:22), it sows seed of discord among brethren (Proverbs 6:19), it encourages rebellion against God (Proverbs17:11) and leads to the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8).
Revelation 21:8 “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.”
To be freed from the spirit of lying and escape its consequences, there is need for deliverance from the spirit of lying (Psalm 120:2). You must hate lying with passion (Ephesians 4:25, Colossians 3:9). Cry out now before God for your forgiveness and salvation (Isaiah 55:7). Confess your lies to the Lord and to the fellowmen you have deceived and cheated. Restitute the gains of lying (Ezekiel 33:14-16), Purge yourself from lying spirit (2 Chronicles 7:14, Job 27:3-6)
Thought for the day: Make a solemn promise not to speak lie, report lie or act lie.
Song for the day: I live for Jesus day after day… the Holy Spirit I will obey…..
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 65-66; 2 Thessalonians 1
