Things the Lord Hates (6)
by Dr. (Mrs) Lizzy Johnson-Suleman
BIBLE READING: Exodus 5-8
TEXT: “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” Proverbs 6 :16 & 19.
Furthermore, the LORD hates a FALSE WITNESS that speaketh lies.
In the ten commandment it was stated, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour” (Exod. 20 :16; Deut. 5 :20) because false witness abound. Believers allow themselves to build to be used by the devil to bear false witness against other believers on a matter they even know nothing of just to paint a negative picture of that believer or to do certain evil to him.
“A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.” (Prov. 14 :5) to pervert judgment against the innocent. People have lost their lives, utterly disappointed, heartbroken at the account of a false witness. God’s word states in Deuteronomy 17 :6; “At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.”
Jezebel hired two false witnesses against Naboth the Jezreelites in order to collect his inheritance and he was stoned to death. 1 Kings 21 :7 – 13.
That is how bad a false witness can be, he deceives and misleads with lies putting a seal on what one is accused of and establishing it (Matt. 18 :16).
Meaning a false witness is worse off than the first accuser. Hence scripture counsels, “… Put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.” Exod. 23 :1
God’s judgment is very sure on the false witness. In Proverbs 19 :5; it states, “A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.” And this is in agreement with the scripture, “Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished…” Prov. 11 :21.
And in Proverbs 19 :9; it repeated, “A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.”
Child of God, don’t allow your destiny to be truncated by being a false witness. Be wise and desist from such act.
PRAYER: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, I disconnect my life from being a false witness.
