Leave the temporary, go for the eternal!

Proverbs 21:6
A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare.

Lies have terrible consequences. Jesus said about the devil, He has no truth in him, when he lies, he speaks his native language for He is a liar and a father of lies. Satan is the father of lies, meaning all lies - all colours and all sizes, comes from the devil.

Look around the world today, lies have become the order of the day. Its sad to say that even believers who misunderstand the gospel of grace abuse the grace gospel by speaking lies only to cause disgrace to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. They say, its impossible to progress without lies, its impossible to get a promotion without cute lies, its impossible to live without white lies. Well, this verse says whatever we achieve by lies is a fleeting vapor and a deadly trap. Its temporary and will eventually trap you. Let’s settle this in our thinking, lies have terrible consequences and it does not come from God. Its from the devil and we have no business with Him or his lies. Refuse to lie. Dare to speak the truth even if it costs you everything you have. Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life.

Friend, irrespective of what the world says or think, you have God’s ability,  you have his grace and you can achieve uncommon success by speaking the truth and living an honourable life. You don’t need lies, you don’t need the devil, you have God Almighty living in you, He is with you and for you. You cannot fail when you walk with Him. Whether you are a politician, student, artist or some businessman or a minister, His grace will enable you to speak the truth and achieve great success. Leave the temporary, go for the eternal. Remember, wisdom is the most important thing.
