Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 42, Day 3: Tuesday, 17th October, 2023. TOPIC: Paul’s Admonition: Speaking The truth (3)

25 So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body. 

Beloved, welcome to a brand new day. May i ask you this morning, how often do we tell lies? How difficult is it for us to speak the truth in any situation, to our children, spouse, parent, co-workers, boss, even our pastor or church members? Lie is one of the most easiest thing to do and one of the deadliest sin to commit. Apostle Paul admonish us to avoid it, to stay away from it. Lies looks small and very simple to commit but it has its side effect also. Naturally, lies break trust, kills love, destroy dignity when it’s expose. If I may ask, when we speak the truth, how does it affect us? Come to think of it, whatever you lied about is a sin, it’s not always right. We speak lies to cover up lies and the more we keep doing this the more we find it proper and become consistent with it.

Let’s get this truth, when we tell lies, we fear men more than God. We are afraid to put God first. We think of what men will do than how God feels about our actions and words. The fear of the Lord should be put above all else. Be truthful in all your communication, feel free to speak the truth no matter the situation. Any situation that warrant otherwise apply wisdom and keep your lips close. As christians our word should be held in high esteem and not will levity. All we need is to start it right away, avoid telling lies and the Spirit will guide us through in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Good Day and God bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today.
