“Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.”
Ephesians 4:25(KJV)
God told me something, He said, “Only weak people lie.” Lying is proof you have weak character. That means that when success comes to you, it will destroy you.
God said to me, “If you build your life and ministry on truth, you will sustain your success.” Then He went on to say, “But if you build your ministry on a lie, it will destroy you and your ministry.” Yet a lot of people do not know that when they lie, they are setting themselves up for destruction.
Do not make lying a part of your character because lies are costly. For instance when you read the Bible in Acts 5:1-10, you will discover that lying cost Ananias and Sapphira their lives. It is that costly. Therefore Proverbs 4:24(CEV) says, “Never tell lies or be deceitful in what you say.” God's Word translation puts it this way, “Remove dishonesty from your mouth. Put deceptive speech far away from your lips.”
Colossians 3:9-10 says, “Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:”
INSTRUCTION
I encourage you to turn away from all deceit, and choose to walk only in the light and truth.
For further study read:
Proverbs 12:19, 22, Proverbs 21:6, Colossians 3:9, Revelation 21:8, Revelation 22:15.
DOING THE WORD
“What this adds up to, then, is this: no more lies, no more pretense. Tell your neighbor the truth. In Christ's body we're all connected to each other, after all. When you lie to others, you end up lying to yourself.” Ephesians 4:25(MSG)
