Sometime ago, I was in an airport trying to board a flight, and a man who was also at the airport for the same purpose was answering a phone call, and the next thing I heard from his mouth was, ‘I am in Lagos now’ whereas we were at the Abuja airport. What a deceit! And I said, what if the air-plane he was about to board crashes and he dies? That is, he lied shortly before he died. What an expressway to hellfire!
Ananias and Sapphira died and went to hell in one day on the platform of lie and deceit. What killed Ananias and Sapphira was not a witch or a stray bullet, but a ‘little’ lie. Acts 5:1-10.
Beloved, lying is tantamount to dying; falsehood is the enemy of livelihood. To lie is to die.
The truth is, in the sight of God, there is no small or big lie; a lie is a lie either told on April 1st or any other time. Some people tend to even joke with a lie. When you ask them why they lied, they would say, ‘I was just joking’. What a hellish joke! Anything you say that has the capacity of taking you to hellfire, is it still a joke?
Today, I take authority over the spirit of falsehood, lying or deceit in the lives of individuals, our society and among believers, in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS: Lying is tantamount to dying; falsehood is the enemy of livelihood. To lie is to die.
