MEMORISE: But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. – James 5:12
READ: 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.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 38-39; Hebrews 1:1-14
MESSAGE:
When our last child was 5 years old, I led him to the Lord and one sin I didn’t tolerate as his mother was lying. There was a time I was looking for my jar of Vaseline. He was the only one at home with me and when I asked, he said he didn’t take it. I was furious and scolded him for lying. Suddenly, he said Mummy, didn’t you tell me that lying is a sin? I didn’t take what you’re looking for. I am a child of God. This sentence broke me and I went quiet. After a while the Holy Spirit told me to look in a direction, there I found my Vaseline. Till date, my son is still very careful about not telling lies. If you’re living in lies, you are empty of the Truth which is Jesus Christ. Lying is a killer. It robs one of all godly virtues and integrity.
To become established in life and friendships, lay your foundation on the truth so that whatever you build will not crumble. If you gained admission through forged results/certificates, do restitution. Remember, all liars will end as firewood in hell.
ACTION POINT:
You must stop lying or swearing if you dont want to miss heaven.
