“Trapped By Their Tricks”

Wednesday, March 5, 2025

Key Verse

“Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God” (Joshua 9:23).
Text —Joshua 9:16-27

Message

Today, we are considering the second part of the Gibeonites’ lies and tricks to league with Israel. As it is commonly said, “A lie may go a thousand kilometers ahead but truth will surely overtake the lie.” The Gibeonites deception only paid off for three days and they were exposed. They incurred a curse from Prophet Joshua to remain in perpetual slavery as “hewers of wood and drawers of water” for Israel.

The youths who obtain certificates and wealth by fraud and malpractices forget that they put themselves under a curse. If they refuse to repent, they will regret it when they miss heaven. Satan’s falsehood in the Garden of Eden turned the Serpent to a crawling beast (Genesis 3:14). Why would the child of a Holy God tell lies to get temporary gains and miss heaven? Jacob deceived Isaac, his father, to outsmart Esau, his elder brother. He suffered twenty years in exile being cheated ten times by Laban. Gehazi became a leper for lies he told. Stop evil habits and count the cost of a lost integrity and eternity. Be trustworthy.

Quote
