HYPOCRISY – THE ENEMY OF DESTINY

SCRIPTURE: “Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity” – Matthew 23:28.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: No matter how much you speak in tongues, it will yield no result in filthiness.

Hypocrisy is the act of manifesting false virtue and exaggerated lifestyle.  It is simply, a life of lies.

There are those whose work is to lie; everything about them is a lie. Regrettably, Christians are not exempted. You may even be tempted to be more comfortable doing business with unbelievers than some Christians because of their infamous records of cheating and duping fellow Christians. These are Christians with mixed genes; they are half Egyptians and half Israelites, worldly and still Churchy.

Many people are not reliable; they cannot be trusted with money. Try them with a million Naira and you will see their true colour. They will show you they have another god called mammon. Insincerity is their second name; they can forge documents and make false declaration of age in order to get a job.

No matter how much you speak in tongues, it will yield no result in filthiness. In fact, some of the tongues you speak can report you to God if spoken in filthiness. For instance, if you are speaking in tongue in a state of iniquity, you are saying, “Lord, I came to let You know that I stole yesterday. Oh you angels of protection, move from the road, I am a thief, and I don’t deserve to be protected.”

But that shall not be your portion in Jesus’ Name!

Beloved, to fulfil destiny, you must shun every hypocritical lifestyle and embrace sincerity.

Remember this: No matter how much you speak in tongues, it will yield no result in filthiness.

ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Consciously decide to be yourself; avoid pretence.
2. By all means, be sincere with yourself, God and people in all your dealings.
