TOPIC: These Things The Lord Hates: A Lying Tongue
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 30; Proverbs 31; Revelation 11; Revelation 12
MEMORY VERSE: Colossians 3:9: Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: All liars will end up in the lake of fire, choose truth and life eternal life.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: I separate you from the spirit of lying, by the power in the blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 6:16-19;
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Acts 5:1-11;
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
PRAISE & WORSHIP
MFM Devotional 18 August 2026 – MESSAGE
Lying is another sin that God hates. John 8:44 reveals that lying is a characteristic of the devil who is the father of lies. All liars are children of the devil. Lying simply means not telling the truth or telling a half truth. It also involves projecting a false image.
As much as people of the world try to normalise lying, God’s standard remains the same. All lying is sin. You may tell yourself that you applied wisdom, or that you were diplomatic. It’s all one and the same thing. The sin of lying is what landed Ananias and Sapphira in an early grave. They thought they were smart just like many people today
erroneously think. Unfortunately for them, they lost their lives.
Lying is not limited to verbal untruths. A person can live a lie, in which case everything about such a person is false. There are people who pretend to be rich just to earn human validation. Those are liars. All those who are living fake lives are students in the school of lying. The ones who present a false image of themselves on social media in order to please known or unknown people are also enrolled in the school of lying. All attempts to hide, cover or twist the truth are equal to lies.
Beloved, we are still in the period of grace. There is still room to repent and return to your Father in heaven. The devil, whom you serve by lying, has nothing to offer you except eternal condemnation. You may think you are smart or that you have escaped punishment temporarily, but what of the eternal punishment? I advise you to follow the example of Moses who chose to suffer with the people of God rather than enjoy the pleasures of Egypt. If you fall into sin, it is better you confess and ask for forgiveness rather than lie and escape temporarily. Better still, ask God for grace to always do things right so that you don’t find yourself in a situation where you have to tell a lie. May the Lord help you, in Jesus’ name.
