Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!How important is truth; in the gospel of Jesus?. We may have been caught up in a world full of lies, but honesty is what God does not joke with.
You can be a liar in the kingdom of darkness but being a liar in the kingdom of light attracts a lot of deadly consequences.
Ananias thought he lied to Peter, but he never knew he had lied to God until he was told. The amazing thing about the story was Peter’s question. Acts 5:3~Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?
In essence God is not expecting you to lie if Satan has not filled your heart. It is our obligation to not allow the fruits of the kingdom of darkness to manifest in our hearts. Proverbs 4:23~Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
The target of Satan has been to neutralize the salt of the earth and make them tasteless. Here is why evil creep into the church and turn priests into political players and liars. This is why men make their laws to replace the laws of God. How then will the spirit of God be made manifest?
Mark 7:13~Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that
There is a task ahead of us; while we are here, we should live a life worthy of the kingdom of God. A life of sincerity and honesty. This will make it easy for the glory of God to be made manifest in every form of our lives.
Jesus died to make these things easier. He made the ultimate sacrifice such that we need not more sacrifices of blood. The grace of God upon our lives calls for submission to the strength of God’s righteousness. For by our own way, we cannot please God.
We should cultivate the attitude of pleading to the blood of Jesus knowing that God is aware of everything we do; including the one we do in secret.
If you wake up every morning, plead to the blood of Jesus. In the night plead to the blood of Jesus. Do not say “my salvation has passed this level of prayer”. As long as we exist in this world, what keeps the grace and mercy of God relevant is the blood of Jesus.
This great atonement is what can make us live right. May we obtain grace that will prevent the expression of the kingdom of darkness in our hearts.
