Why Are You Proud In Lying??

Why Are You Proud In Lying??

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.”

Mystery About Lying:
If you are a liar, you must carry the brother and sister of lie along by default, which are -stealing and immorality. Remember, whenever you lied, you will look for another lie cover your previous lie and you will thereby become a professional liar in no distant time. Beware!!!

Preamble:
Truth may appear deadly when it is being said Mark 6:17-28. However the day truth will pay you, it will be more than your comprehension, and its worth and value can never be quantify Esther 6:1-11.
Lie may succeed in building a 10 storey edifice in one week, but it will take just one stone thrown by truth to crush it down in few seconds. Please, it pays to be truthful but, it is ill to be a liar. God bless you.

This past Wednesday, 19th March, 2014, I learnt that 13 staff members of the organization I’m working were shown the way out (sacked), as a result of forging their certificates and credentials used in securing their jobs, or which they submitted later to upgrade and update their records in the HR files.

This sacking was enforced by the HR department as a result of the investigation carried out on staff records where these forgeries were discovered. Now that these people have lost their jobs, how did their lies helped them?

Brethren, lie may have gone past 1,000 kilometers but truth will surely overtake it. It's just a matter of time. Why not rather say the truth and be set free? John 8:32 says “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

When I was growing up in the village, something happened to my father. That was around 1988-90 (about 26 years ago). A witch woman was confessing her witchcraft and then, she mentioned my father as a member of their witchcraft coven.

When this was done, my grandfather stepped out and declared before the whole community that he was not witch, neither any of his 6 children as far as he was concerned. He vowed that he will go to the extreme to defend his son's innocence in witchcraft practice.

As time went by, they now took my father and the other people this witch woman mentioned to a place where they usually proved a person if he/she was a witch or not traditionally, in another community entirely. Before this time, the whole village turned us into ‘the children of a witch’. Brethren, shame and reproach was our clothing. Whenever we were walking in the street, they will be winking at us calling us children of a witch. Friends, it was very terrible. I was just around 13 years old by then.

So to the glory of God, they went and by grace of God, my father didn't fall because he was not a witch. The owner of the shrine gave him a native chalk to go and celebrate his innocence. When he returned in peace, we hired a local musician to celebrate my father's innocence and to dance away the shame and reproach that we were visited by our community people.

Why do I relate this past event in my family here?
This is dedicated to my grandfather, Pa Ekhator Onabor, almost 130 years old now, who surrendered his life to Christ and got baptized at over 110 years of his life. Praise God.

My grandfather told us. In fact, he warned us during that ugly period, that we should never use lie to rub ourselves even if it is as sweet as salt mixed with native chalk. He told us that if someone lied against us, we must make every effort to prove our innocence no matter the place we may find ourselves. Thank you very much grandfather, for inculcating discipline into our lives even though we were lost in sin at the time.

Therefore, having been taught this way by my grandfather, I dreaded lying, and I developed total hatred to anything called lie. Although I still told lies as time goes on but I actually hated lie with passion, even as an idol worshipper at the time.

Today, why do men take pleasure in lying, even though they are abreast with the consequences of lying which is going to hell fire at the end of their existence on earth? Friend, why not choose to die for the truth now than to be humiliated when truth catches up with your lies? The bible says “For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.” 2 Corinthians 13:8.

If you are therefore a liar today, the devil is your father and both of you will end up in hell fire. Please repent and confess your lies now before it is too late. John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

LIE IS LIE NO MATTER THE LEVEL OR CIRCUMSTANCES INVOLVED

Some people today think that lie has levels and therefore it can be categorized into small and or big lie. No! No!! No!!! Lie is lie, and no matter the circumstances involved before you speak it, they all carries the same punishment of death Revelation 21:8.

Consider these lies and repent of them now. Make all necessary restitution where applicable and it shall be well with you.
