2021 TEENS VOLUME RHAPSODY OF REALITIES MESSAGE.
In this year of preparation, lying is one habit you ought to kick out of your life entirely because of its dangerous consequences. God’s Word is truth (John 17:17), and the Holy Spirit is known as the Spirit of Truth John 16:13). Truth always dodges liars, and God builds up a resistance against those who don’t celebrate the truth. The more they lie, the more He resists and avoids them.
A liar isn’t merely a person who told a lie; he’s the one who makes a habit of lying; he fabricates lies. Revelation 22:15 tells us about such people: “..Outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.“ This shows the liar plans or strategises his lies. He knows what he’s saying is wrong but still goes ahead to say it anyway because he or she is self-centred.
A liar is also one who says something contrary to God’s Word. The Bible says, “…indeed, let God be true but every man a liar…” (Romans 3:4). As long as a man’s confessions are inconsistent with God’s Word, then they’re lies! For example, the Word says in Romans 5:1: “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” If you’re born again, you must accept and walk in His righteousness. If you keep saying “No one can really be righteous before God,” that would be a lie because it’s inconsistent with what God has said.
1 Peter 3:10 TLB tells us something instructive: “if you want a happy, good life, keep control of your tongue, and guard your lips from telling lies.” You can’t be speaking God’s Word and at the same time lying. That’s a contradiction. The man who lies to others doesn’t deserve the truth because he doesn’t tell the truth. But if you’re a young man or woman of truth, the truth will promote and protect you (Psalm 91:4). Hallelujah!
