MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 8TH MAY 2024
The sin of bearing false witness against one’s neighbor is great in God’s presence. Anything that cannot be proven, anything that is not genuine and anything that is not true should not be said or written down and used falsely against anyone. To bear false witness is to accuse someone wrongly. It means giving untrue testimonies about someone in order to damage their reputation. The scripture warns against false witnessing. For example, Exodus 23:1: “Thou shalt not raise a false report; put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.” Proverbs 24:28: “Be not a witness against thy neighbor without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.” Whenever a person bears false witness he is aligning himself with satan, who is spoken of in John 8:44 as“a liar, and the father of it.”We need to be careful.
It is quite unfortunate that a lot of innocent souls have been sent to their early graves because of false witnessing. And a lot of others are serving jail terms for sins they know nothing about. Some of the victims are often helpless and defenseless people. But be sure that their blood will cry for vengeance like that of Naboth in 1 Kings 21:1-19. The Lord of Sabaoth is the God of vengeance. It is even more saddening for so-called believers to bear false witness against fellow believers in a bid to bring them down at all costs. Some do it to obtain cheap favor or get church positions. Beloved, if you have to bring someone down to attain it, then it is not worth it.
Many people are now faced with challenges, problems, incurable sicknesses, and diseases today and are wondering where they came from. They go before God in prayers, but their prayers are not answered because they have made false witnesses against their fellow human beings once upon a time in their lives. This wicked act will never go unpunished either sooner or later.
Beloved, you may need to take a close look at your life. What are you going through now that has defied solutions may have been caused by this sin. You may need to swallow your pride and prayerfully carry out restitution before you can be truly free. May God help us to live right, in the name of Jesus.
